Ursa Major - Ursa Major
Kansas - The Best of Kansas
Cloudland Blue Quartet - Ersatzreal
Rheostatics - Last Ever Concert (CBC 1 Hr Broadcast)
Rheostatics - Second Last Ever Concert (Full 3hr Concert)
Couldn't sleep this morning after waking at 5:15 so listened to guitarist Dick Wagner's late 60's early 70's Detroit band "Ursa Major", one track from which includes themes used later on Alice Cooper's second solo album from 1976, "Alice Cooper Goes to Hell"...
Then, the best of Kansas - a much maligned band whom I quite like...
Lunch today uptown at the Balmoral Hotel - no CDs purchased...
In the evening, as Anne was out keeping fit, I had a look through my regular links and, whilst browsing the Rheostatics, found one to CBC's hour long broadcast of highlights from their last ever concert on 30 March this year - I recorded it to mini-disc for later burning to CD...
If you follow the link above and you don't know Rheostatics, I suggest you start with the song "Claire"...
Then I found a link to a band sanctioned download of a soundboard recording of their second last ever gig - the small club warm up to the arena the following night...
Watched "New Tricks" (enjoyable but rubbish really) and "Ruddy Hell it's Harry and Paul", which is shaping up to be a good replacement for the much missed "Fast Show"...
Then, rather foolishly, I stayed up till beyond 1 am burning the 2nd last Rheos show to a 3CD set - the gig lasted almost 3 hours...
Highlight of the Day : Rheostatics
