Pink Floyd - Welcome to the Machine

This is a Pink Floyd show from 1977, it's here thanks to our friend Anonymous that also shared with us Oakland 1977 and a few others.



Pink Floyd - Welcome to the Machine
TSP-CD-061 The Swingin' Pig Records
02 Jul 1977, New York.  
Recorded live in concert at Madison Square Garden
OriginalSilverCD-->XLosslessDecoder-->FLAC
EX+ Audience Recording

1. Shine On You Crazy Diamond 1-5
2. Welcome To The Machine
3. Have A Cigar
4. Wish You Were Here
5. Shine On You Crazy Diamond 6-9


Excellent WYWH set from '77.  
Of all the shows I've heard from that tour, this set is 2nd only to Oakland.  
Excellent guitar work as always, but damn, Rick Wright's performance is just brilliant here. Sadly it's only the 2nd half of the show, but it's so awesome it doesn't even matter.  
There are boots of the entire concert available, and I'd always wondered why the sound for the 1st half of the show was so bad . . . with a little digging I found that the tapers moved down closer to the stage for the 2nd set.  
That explains why this is so much more clear.  
The recording is mono, but crystal clear, and one of my favorites of all time.  
Props to the tapers on this one, whoever you are.

Igor Prado Band & Lynwood Slim with Junior Watson, Bharath Rajakumar - Live At KUCI RAdio 88.9

More blues aboard brought by our bluesman partner: the rippin' frog.



Igor Prado Band & Lynwood Slim with Junior Watson, Bharath Rajakumar
Live At KUCI RAdio 88.9 FM

Lynwood Slim & The Igor Prado Band "Brazilian Kicks" .... 1 month on the Living Blues Radio Chart graced the stage backed by an all-star band that included Junior Watson on guitar, Bharath Rajakumar on harmonica on KUCI RAdio 88.9 FM, streaming live on the internet.


California native Lynwood Slim with the premier jump blues outfit, the Igor Prado Band from Brazil, for a surprisingly tasteful and swingin’ set of music featuring the smoldering guitar acrobatics of left-handed, upside-down guitarist Igor Prado. The resulting album is a tantalizing cocktail blend of American roots music. Hand-shaken and served straight up sound.
Despite playing the role of perennial sideman, often in fine bands that left much to be desired in the visibility department, Mike "Junior" Watson was, and is, one of the most influential blues guitarists of his generation. In fact, following Robben Ford's defection into fusion, Watson was rivaled only by Hollywood Fats as king of the hill in California, and by Jimmie Vaughan anywhere else.
Drawn by hi time machine, Montreal native, Bharath Rajakumar stay the course stuffed with blues and boogie-woogie. For The Amateurs of blues of the 50s, the table is beautiful and well put ...  
Considered by many critics for blues and his peers as one of our greatest harmonica players in Canada.
