Always loved Journey's backing vocals. :thumbsup:

Randy, the "CheapAudioMan" did a great history on the Yamaha Corporation, that I found fascinating. Knowing that both of my audio systems are Yamaha, the majority of my band gear/synths are Yamaha, and even my first motorcycle (FZ-6) guess you could say I'm a fanboi.

Two rather simple song structures to mash up, but by cramming a third group in DJ Cumberland gets a pass. Nein!!

I'm a huge Roberta Flack fan, and also a big fan of Pomplamoose. Tonight is the first time I've heard this; Magic!

I guess I should be embarrassed by this, get my MS from them and don't even know the team! It's the NMSU "Aggies", and "Pistol Pete" is the mascot (appropriate...) Now to look up and post a pic of him: Oooh, impressive, I guess.

Always enjoyed the sound and the intense rhythms of the tabla, but this 3+hour collection had to be broken up into 4 or so sessions. Pretty interesting (and over my head) writeup in Wikipedia on how these are played and the rhythms used. Oooh, and a sing-along! :D

Any other fans here of Metallica's "smoove jazz" period?

Between 2016 and 2018 Chick and his bandmates got back together and did some shows, and this live two-CD set was released right before his death. And I didn't know a thing about it until yesterday! Been listening to it on Tidal several times since; beautifully recorded (the drums sound...
