'Love That Burns, blew me away on first listen and still one of Peter Green's most amazing soloing. ..so few notes with so much feeling 🎸 🙏

Wonderful to have experienced them live back in the day. Peter Green's touch and tone were sublime.
My friend Robin saw John Mayall's BluesBreakers with PG, McVie and Fleetwood in 67 in a small club in London. That must have been incredible 🎸👍

It's a classic 🎸

Well thanks my friend 👍 I bought Virginia Plain and Pyjamarama singles on release plus already had the classic For your Pleasure album. 'Editions of You' has been my ringtone for many years 🎶

I see it's not out until January 26. Available as Vinyl boxset too..but I don't think I need that at £180

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 1d

Oh yeah, that is a fantastic boxset of that amazing quintet on fire. I have a CDr copy but so want the real deal. I'll go look it up 👍

Here's a new post of the 'Epitaph' playback day from 17/3/97. A one off, as got autographs of all 5 inc #PeteSinfield together in a room for the first time since 69. Sat having tea and cakes on a table opposite #GregLake was amazing 👌

Of course you were 👍 days like that you can't buy...

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 1d

Deep Purple
Jimi Hendrix
Miles Davis
Beethoven
Yes
Grateful Dead
Rush
John McLaughlin

Certainly not easy and could do with a bit more thought to cover the many genres I love.

I remember hearing it but frustratingly never taped it. I do have the vinyl bootleg of the part show though.
PS. See my BlueSky post today...I'm sure you were there 👍

A great album with a stellar lineup. I may well search out the vinyl issue 👍

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 2d

Thanks it is one of few treasures I have 👍

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 2d

Yes, you're right there was a correction. But don't remember it now. My recent posting is not clear enough. There is a photo of me with the artwork. I'll look at that.

Love the Are you ready to rock reference by Fri0 👌

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 2d

Yes, it was badly faded after hanging in the EG office for years in sunlight 🫤

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 2d

Excellent...it's going to be album of the day on BlueSky 😁

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 2d

I've never seen them. I don't think they played Bristol which was frustrating.

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 2d

Excellent to have an arm photo 👍😁 but so good to have photos from the event. I have a few inc the LTIA original artwork which I posted the other day.
This being pre phone cameras it was much more difficult. I never took any at the Epitaph playback. Pity, as the ITCOTCK painting was there.

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 2d

🤣 it's a ridiculous amount whatever...

It sure is an unrepeatable moment. So lucky to have been there.

Oh, that's a pity to not have the main man sign them. Not so easy to get it now unless you can do so at a Toyah Fripp gig

👍 Another excellent afternoon 😊

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 2d

It's so neatly signed too 👌

Going by Progarchives website entries there are 94 studio albums from Electronic Meditation to Raum and 63 live ones. Also quite a few box sets and compilations.
Edgar gave them the blessing to carry on after he died..so it's fully legit TD to me.
