That one caught my eye too - I shall investigate 😀.

Andy, I think I might have bin.

That will be going on the turntable later 😀.

I went to three of those gigs - still have my tickets 😀.

Those early Ayers LPs are fab 🎶

All the Henry Cow LPs are my favourites, but In Praise Of Learning, and Unrest, are my particular favourites 😀.

Good for Mrs Artus!

Not so sure about the headmaster though 😉.

Simon Knights @goodeknyghte.bsky.social · 1d

Indeed! Beautiful and graceful birds.

Well, until they utter their dog-bark of a call !

Simon Knights @goodeknyghte.bsky.social · 1d

Now listening to Ricochet - the live parts were recorded at the gig, so it seems appropriate 😀.

Yes, I agree. I don't like it when they do that. I have a few "Classic Album" type box sets where that's been done. In those cases they are cheap at £9.99, so I go with it.

But Torrid Zone, and the like, are not cheap. I might stick with the single CDs that I have.

Simon Knights @goodeknyghte.bsky.social · 1d

It's just not the same now is it. Some of the tickets I kept are now the only evidence that I actually went to some gigs. I do still remember the one for this particular ticket, but I have no memory of seeing them at Royal Albert Hall in 1976. But I have the ticket, so I know I went 😀.

Simon Knights @goodeknyghte.bsky.social · 1d

An excellent idea if I may say!

I don't have the Torrid box - already have the CDs/LPs. But I am slightly tempted to spend the spondulix with Cherry Red to put that right 😀.

I'll let you know if I have bin!

This is a fab box set 😀.

Morning Andy.

It's raining - which calls for some Faust I think.

Yesterday's walk. Faversham Creek at high tide. Oyster Catchers, and Herons (not in the photo!).

Fifty years ago today - my first Tangerine Dream gig 😀.

1.

Or possibly 3.

Simon Knights @goodeknyghte.bsky.social · 3d

Indeed Captain 😀.

Simon Knights @goodeknyghte.bsky.social · 3d

I will. Probably just the one box though. Just wondering whether to play the LPs of the studio records or the CDs. Perhaps both.

Simon Knights @goodeknyghte.bsky.social · 3d

I have two Henry Cow boxed sets - the first one that came in three boxes, and the second (Redux) that came in a single box. They are identical except that the Redux box has the "Concerts" double.

I might do a Henryathon Cowathon soon 😀🐄

Simon Knights @goodeknyghte.bsky.social · 3d

Yup 😀.

Simon Knights @goodeknyghte.bsky.social · 3d

Ooohhh 😀.

Saw them on the UK stretch of that tour. Was that the one with the revolving stage? It's all a bit vague now 😀.

I don't know this one!

Will investigate now 😀.

Simon Knights @goodeknyghte.bsky.social · 6d

Morning Andy. Can confirm it is indeed Saturday, or thereabouts.

Going to see Utopia Strong tonight in Ramsgate. Last saw them in 2019.
