Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman with Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives: Sweetheart of the Rodeo 50th Anniversary Tour, being released for the first time on CD!
I saw this show in Austin in 2018, and it was one of the great concert experiences of my life. From the look on Chris Hillman's face, I think that was also true for him. (He looked genuinely surprised at each ovation. I guess he hasn't been a "rock star" in so long that he forgot what it's like.) I recall them telling stories or anecdotes between songs. For example, McGuinn introduced "The Christian Life" approximately as follows: "When we recorded this song, I didn't know what it was about. Now I know."
I hope some of the Austin performances are on the CD, but I haven't found such details on the intertubes. I have a decent audience recording of the Austin show, but I really look forward to a soundboard quality recording. As a bonus, the CD includes the tour's only performance of "Eight Miles High," from the final show in Florida. I can't wait to get my hands on this!
I recently watched an (unofficial) video compilation of the tour on YouTube - well worth seeking out. Marty and his band really lit a fire under proceedings. Clarence's guitar being the secret weapon. May well be buying this. Jules |

I've cracked and ordered the upcoming release of Pallas: Eyes In The Night 1981-1986 (6 CDs and a BluRay of a live concert). I was holding out so well, but finally gave in!
I'm tempted to get this. Love a bit of Pallas. Last year's album, The Messenger, featuring the return of Alan Reed on vocals, was a very pleasant surprise. I have it, but struggled to get into it - I seem to recall the drums sounded a bit weird. |

He'd been with the band for a couple of decades or more. |

Think it may be this originated with his wife... |

They already sold the rights to the existing Queen catalogue, for US$1.27BN, to Sony, in June, this is apparently included in the deal. So how they get any money from this is a bit of a mystery to me.

The band would still earn a few bob even if the publishing rights were sold. Jules |

But I just came away without a single memorable riff or melody in my head. These things sometimes grow on me. |

Jules
There's a lot of this about, sadly. Pitch correction on old recordings, Auto tune on live 'performances', which these days means moving around on stage, And out and out miming. From The Eagles using a pre-recorded vocal for Desperado, to dear little Taylor's current tour which has the band on a backing track, some pitch corrected miming and auto tuned 'live' vocals. See The Wings Of Pegasus YouTube channel for details. |

auto tuned 'live' vocals.
It is perfectly possible to sing a live vocal going through an auto-tune processor and for that to be a legitimate thing - a desired sound/treatment. It can be quite effective. Miming on the other hand, not so cool. Jules |

I vaguely knew the guy (engineer, I think) who suggested Cher spice up her music with Autotune-screwed-up vocals. I told him I thought it was awful. He agreed, all the way to the bank.

I like auto-tune when it's used creatively. Not when it's used to make up for deficiencies in a singer.
