  7. Last night I was really lucky to be the promoter for the Alan Reed and the Daughters of Expediency gig at West Street Live in Sheffield.

    Alan, sadly, is retiring due to his Parkinson's diagnosis.

    I've known him since his days as vocalist with Pallas back in the 90's.

    A very emotional gig 🥹 and the band wrapping it up with Crown of Thorns was just poignant.

  12. For this morning's #workout #music I continue down the Gong rabbit hole (staring deep into their flying teapot). This is from 2025 with a total of zero members shared with the band from Camembert Electronique. More rock and less trippy, but clearly working the same musical territory. Some of it is quite nice, some of it a bit formulaic at this point - a bit like a tribute band, really.

  13. CW: A spotlight on the live double LP from the Annie Haslam edition of symphonic prog band Renaissance (CW'd for length)

    Renaissance – Live at Carnegie Hall (1976, UK)

    Our next spotlight is on number 307 on The List, submitted by 955_36.

    Formed from the ashes of (the original 1963-8 blues rock incarnation of) The Yardbirds, this band first began in 1968 as an acoustic duo of Keith Reif (vocals) and Jim McCarty (drums) named Together, expanding to a quintet who released a couple classical- and folk-tinged prog rock albums under the name Renaissance, the 1969 s/t debut and then Illusion (1971). The lineup then changed completely (though McCarty would continue writing songs for the group up to their 1974 release), with Annie Haslam joining on vocals following her audition in January 1971, plus John Tout (keys), Jon Camp (bass), Terry Sullivan (drums), and Michael Dunford (guitar). The group’s sound also evolved from about Ashes Are Burning (1973) on, bringing in a more orchestral sound and moving to symphonic prog, plus dropping their until-then frequent use of excerpts from classical pieces.

    With such deep changes, it could be said that Live at Carnegie Hall catches the group just before the release of either their sixth or – if we consider this lineup an entirely different band – fourth studio album, Scheherazade and Other Stories (1975). Recorded during a 3-night run and backed by the New York Philharmonic, this double LP is essentially a “best of” of this second edition of Renaissance, with the entire second disc showing their epic just-as-good-as-in-the-studio chops via the 29-minute (and then still unreleased) “Song of Schedherazade” and (what seems to be a common fan favourite) the 24-minute “Ashes Are Burning”. After the release of this album, the band’s label (BTM, owned by the band’s former producer and soon to become The Police’s manager, Miles Coupland) went bankrupt, which resulted in their next studio album, Novella (1977), being released in the US before the UK.

    Or, as The Mountain Goats put it:

    “Six years hard labor on the heavy blues
    they haggled and bargained when we gave them the news
    one more long shift, then free to do as we please
    stay home and stare at the trees
    crystal clear transmission
    in January ‘71 at the audition

    Maybe you don’t recall,
    but Renaissance played at Carnegie Hall
    maybe you don’t recall,
    but Renaissance played at Carnegie Hall

    Can’t have the heavy drinking, there’s bills to be paid
    money to be made
    and no, before you ask, it isn’t all about greed
    but can’t do what you like if you can’t get what you need
    find where you fit in, make some wishes
    maybe bet a little ambitious

    Maybe you don’t recall,
    but Renaissance played at Carnegie Hall
    maybe you don’t recall,
    but Renaissance played at Carnegie Hall

    I don’t know if any footage survives,
    but I can picture Annie Haslam onstage
    They played their most popular song
    And then another one that was twenty-nine minutes long

    Maybe you don’t recall,
    but Renaissance played at Carnegie Hall
    maybe you don’t recall,
    but Renaissance played at Carnegie Hall”

    from Days (2026)

    Happy listening!

    1. Fedizen @[email protected] created this tool which is similar to Songlink, but it includes some streaming services that Songlink doesn’t (e.g., Bandcamp, when available) and drops some that might not be that common any more. Let me know if y’all have a preference between the two, I can either include both or switch to Sndlink completely for future spotlights! ↩︎

  17. This morning's old man #workout #music is from Cheer-Accident playing live one year ago - lo-fi but excellent. Hat tip to @TheVinylApe for reminding me of these folks when they posted one of the #80s albums.

  20. It's been a mad year so far, so I've only finally got around to my Review of Vinyl bought in 2025: 1/12

    #NowPlaying: 'Camembert Electrique' by Gong (1971).

    This is an incredibly fun album veering between psychedelic, prog and proto-punk. Always with the tongue firmly in cheek (but I'm not sure whose tongue is in whose cheek).

    "Cheshire Ghosts has an overall prog / symphonic / quirky feel. It paved the way for future albums with Imperial Measures and Môr, and features musicians from there and from Imaginary Kings."

  22. Odessa

    People hear "BeeGees" and they automatically think "disco" and/or Saturday Night Fever. But that's selling the group short. Their earlier works were nothing short of genius and that includes Odessa, released on March 30, 1969. It's a complex, ambitious project that blends progressive rock, pop ballads, and country-flavored tunes. #beegees #odessa #60srock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #progrock #progressiverock #baroque #pop

  23. Einer meiner allerliebsten Musiker und auch einer der Künstler von denen ich mit die meisten LP‘s besitze ist Robert Wyatt. Hier mit seinem 2008er Doppelalbum „Shleep“.
    Auch eine meiner Inselplatten ist von ihm. „Rock Bottom“ ist der Titel und wenn ihr mit traurig stimmender Musik gut klarkommt eine Herzensempfehlung von mir.
