I was digging around the basement and pulled out this live Rolling Stones "No Security" CD It is now my favorite live Stones. The recording production and playing are really good. Tunes are as good or even better than the studio versions. www.rollingstones.com/release/no-security/

I bought a remastered Ziggy Stardust CD the other week James. Sounds brilliant as ever but I like the re master they did- sounds like it was recorded recently. Only cost £6 too- can't be bad.

For me, 1955-56 was the first year of Rock and Roll. Sure, there were prior songs that are considered R&R, but this was the year that Rock and Roll took hold and became a real, living genre of music. And IMHO Elvis was there at the beginning. If Elvis isn't quite as important historically as the Elvis Presley album that preceded it, that's only because it came second -- musically, it's a more confident and bolder work than his debut, and in any other artist's output it would have been considered a crowning achievement. At the sessions for his first album, the singer and all concerned were treading into unmapped territory and not sure what they were doing or if they were ready for it -- by September of 1956, when the three days of sessions behind the Elvis album took place, he was on top, a national phenomenon of a kind that hadn't been seen in music since Frank Sinatra a dozen years earlier, and he had some more experience recording. And with that confidence came better singing. The songs here were, for the most part, material that he knew well, with one new submission by Otis Blackwell. He slides through them seemingly effortlessly, transforming the 1940s country number "When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again" into a smooth rocker; roaring through the Little Richard numbers "Long Tall Sally," "Ready Teddy," and "Rip It Up"; returns to his blues roots with a killer rendition of Arthur Crudup's "I'm So Glad You're Mine" (a leftover, amazingly enough, from his first RCA session); and shows how refined his voice was becoming on the ballad "First in Line" and the sentimental favorite "Old Shep." The Elvis album was reissued in 1999 with vastly improved sound and eight bonus tracks from the same and chronologically adjoining recording sessions, including the singles "Hound Dog," "Don't Be Cruel," and "Anyway You Want Me," and that is the version to own on CD.

Crowded House for me lately. I've been a fan for years and I love Neil Finn's songwriting- his voice and here is a famous clip of them performing at their farewell gig in Sydney Australia in 1996. This is emotially charged as it is the last song of the gig and they split after this. The drummer, Paul Hester, took his own life in 2005. happily the band did reform a few years back and released some more albums. Neil writes such wonderful tunes.
I used to get to sing this in my band a few years back.
