Another must have record is Pink Floyd The Wall. This is an absolute masterpiece.

That’s one odd album, though.

I’d bounce from “What an awesome album!” to “meh.” to “What an awesome album!” to “meh.” to “What an awesome album!” to “meh.”, etc.

It’s only odd because the heroin was especially strong during that tine.

Naw, I mean that some albums you love ’em and keep loving ’em, hate ’em and keep hating ’em, or hate ’em and grow to like and maybe love ’em, but it’s all pretty constant.

“The Wall”, I’d go from wow to meh on a almost random basis, depending on my mood?, dunno.

Think I always liked “Animals” best. Played it to death on my Walkperson going back’n’forth to school.

“Wish You Were Here”, too, which I think was on the other side of the cassette.

Speaking of live performance, sound quality and Led Zep, the 2007 Celebration Day live at the London O2 arena is a blast IMO. I was amazed by the energy and spirit of the band members so many decades latter and was totally blown away by the 21st century sound and image quality. It is like a 70’s show captured with alien technology.

Is that Bonham’s son on drums? I vaguely recall he was subbing for a while, following in pop’s footsteps.

Absolutely. Jason Bonham.

I never paid much attention to drums but seeing him in that 2007 performance… The guy can drum for sure!

PS: i just checked the Celebration Day three vinyls 180g edition… It sells for 465 euros!!! :confounded:

Same for me. I listened a lot to The Wall when it came out, but now it feels somewhat apart from the previous albums and i’m more likely to go back to Dark side, Wish you where here, Medle, Animals…

Dark Side does for me.

Being ” Head Music”, maybe it was your head.

This thread dreged up a lot of old memories.

Onkyo receivers.

Klipsh Speakers.

Nakamichi tape decks.

A few other nice components.

I am scared to see how many of these things are going for pennies on the dollar that we may have spent 30+ years ago.

What Klipsch speakers did you have? I have a pair of Cornwalls.

I do not recall bought them in the PX when I was over seas. I think I spent 6-700 for them.

Now the ones I dreamed about were the La Scalas. LOL
