I still feel proud.
Saw 'The Slow Show' in Hebden Bridge last night.
They're very, very good.
This is the same line-up.

Have an original vinyl pressing in a sumptious embossed box, listened through completely more than once, and although I've got different bits of the cycle by Knappertsbusch and Furtwangler, my favourite version (also listened to many times) and a little more restrained than Solti, is the great cycle by Karl Bohm.Quote:

Some of the "bleeding chunks" # of Wagner must be amongst the greatest music composed. Genius can take many forms but Wagner was unquestionably one; although perhaps not always a very nice man.
# “Defects of form are not a justifiable ground for criticism from listeners who profess to enjoy the bleeding chunks of butcher’s meat chopped from Wagner’s operas.” Donald Tovey 1935
Agree on both counts.Quote:

The Experience Edition of Wish You Were Here. I just had to buy it because the 2nd CD has 3 live tracks from the very concert I went to in November 1974. There is a 20 minute version of Shine On plus Raving and Drooling and You've Got To Be Crazy which became Sheep and Dogs on the Animals LP. The sound quality is astonishing (but probably because I only know the tracks from a very poor quality bootleg).
Ahhh, memories!
