I always said if I reached a certain age 😉 & was still alive (& could afford it) I would go. There's a rock museum inside with memorabilia of all the bands that have played there. Phew. We went back the next day & had lunch overlooking the rocks. The folk were fantastic too, buying us drinks (& a cap ) etc. We got stranded there the next day & our mobiles wouldn't work so we couldn't get a taxi back. Hitched to some outpost where a woman in the shop offered to drive us back to Denver from Morrison - not only a 35min drive but a 35 mile detour out of her way. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth be told, my own turntable has taken a pounding. Had it almost as long as my marriage. Or is it actually a month older? 🤔 Anyway, last vinyl I bought, I had the lid open against the wall. Well, not quite. Against a glass-fronted print badly positioned on the wall. The lid tipped the heavy fecker down like a ton-o-bricks onto the tone-arm, buckling the stylus and gouging every track on as-yet-unheard side 1. With the ensuing rant, my long-enduring marriage almost ended there Prices seem to have risen a wee bit beyond inflation since the day we carted the amp/turntable/speakers back to our first flat as it's now a niche market. If I only replace the cartridge (anyone under 40 may struggle with the terminology) the modern Audio-Technica equivalent is about £700 ...a lot more than the whole "Hi-Fi" back in the day. Hard to justify, so the STD turntable is for now a retro-ornament, along with the small stack of vinyl I cannot part with. Frustrating, as back in the day I could only afford a record once in a blue moon and recorded most stuff on cassette. Nice ornament though. It makes a cameo appearance in the Freddy/Queen film behind the record producer when the band get back together. Retro as I said OK enough o' my shite, here's a tune (sweet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 'fraid I don't have any turntable anecdotes. But still stuck on sweet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Jim Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 A public information announcement for anyone interested: I got a couple of alerts from Songkick this morning. There's a whole load of American bands (that I've never heard of) streaming on something called the #iVoted Festival. Might need to do an all nighter Tuesday. My alerts were for Crobot 12.20am GMT (4th Nov) then Halestorm 2.25am, but there seem to be loads of others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverbear Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Just realised we've moved on but couldn't let it pass without this. Fortunate enough to see them at Knebworth with the Stones in '76 before the plane crash the following year killing lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, drummer & one of the backing singers.
