A bargain? Well, some might think so at least. Bob Dylan's The Complete Budokan 1978 is currently on Amazon download for £12.99 - compared to £132.59 for the physical release.  I had the original many years ago (I think I have a photo from a student room with the poster from that album on the wall in the background) but haven't heard it for years. On reading some reviews I will probably pass on this, but some people may feel that for 58 tracks, they'd like to take a pop.

Doonican's 20th anniversary bash in Barnsley yesterday.

Devil's Prefects, Canadians In Space, Parson's Lot, Headsticks, John Otway and Scott & The Boys.

All bands exceptional and all for £40.

Actually not the first 5,  due to label changes, but 5  albums anyway.

A boxed set of the first 5  Roches albums

All of which I have in some form   but not everyone will.  

Twas a fab night.  12 string behaved, usual singalongs, cracking setlist.

Unthanks Winter Tour.  We're sitting in a box at the Liverpool Phil'.  Get us.

If you're on the fence, do listen to the album - it really is as good as the reviews made it out to be.  Right up there with Frost & Fire....

Welcome to sunny Shropshire! I've ordered the weather for you! Have fun! I will be at my towns free music festival.

RIP Walt. I was a huge fan of the original incarnation of Chicago, even as a young ‘un. I got a photo op with the 2016-2017 era band, which still had three original members on stage (Robert Lamm, James Pankow, and Lee Loughnane). By then, Walt had stepped away to deal with heart issues. Loughnane now leads “Chicago” by himself. Strange times.

Walter Parazaider, saxophonist and founder member of Chicago.

It was originally Walt's idea to form a rock band with a serious horn section after hearing "Got To Get You Into My Life" on The Beatles' Revolver.

Going to give their debut "Chicago Transit Authority" a spin in his honour.
