Leafblade - The Kiss of Spirit and Flesh

Lionel Hampton's 1930's era vibraharp, at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix 30 July 2024

King Crimson - Beat

I like that one a lot - 3/4 of Japan on it, plus Peter Gabriel's guitarist David Rhodes.

Engineers - Three Fact Fader

Somewhere in Colorado, earlier this month.

Young Fresh Fellows - Toxic Youth

Peter Gabriel - i/o (bright side mix)

Rolling Stones - Brussels Affair ...I forget how good this album is.

Glad you got to meet up! I walked by the Bimhuis last fall, it's an impressive place!

Yeah, I saw him here in Phoenix on Tuesday as well. It was a fantastic show IMO. One review I read said the 2nd mic was a condenser microphone, another described it as a vintage mic "slathered in distortion". It definitely gave his voice a different sound, which I thought suited those tracks well. Here's a great live in studio recording that shows the use of each microphone.

Alejandro Escovedo - Echo Dancing

The Flatirons, Boulder Co 5 July 24

Spoon - Hot Thoughts

Terry Allen - Bottom of the World

Jonsi - Go Live

I just caved and ordered this from Amazon, $49. Despite having much of the Bern set on the Heavy Horses box, my FOMO just kicked in.

Los Lobos - The Neighborhood

Sunset, Carefree AZ 24 Jun 24

Yeah, they are. This is the only vinyl version of it though (I think). I don't have the Passion Play box, it goes for stupid money these days ($300 on discogs right now, same on Amazon). And outside of the Chateau tracks, there's nothing else on the box other than the album itself, at least on CD.

Jethro Tull - The Chateau D’Herouville Sessions 1972

Carole Dawn Reinhart - Glanzvolle Trompetenklange (she autographed this for me in 1982 when I was living in Wiesbaden, kinda cool!)

Agree 100%. That's an amazing album. I wish he hadn't withdrawn from music, and had been more prolific, but it clearly wasn't something he wanted.
