Funny that these two are right next to each other. I prefer Green and Stand By, respectively.


Me too on both counts.
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Hi,

I only took a look at the spreadsheets for 3 years of SPR ... will take a look at the others today or tomorrow, and see how many more we can add. Guy was excellent at new things, and specially if they had never been there before and were brand new ...

The one thing that you folks can't see, is that the regular shows during the week, or Friday and Saturday Nights, are not even mentioned, and they have just as much new stuff in there, though I do not have any more shows that survived otherwise. Most of them were "specials", like the Halloween one (three times and really cool stuff), and some fun stuff, like the April Fool's show with the Real Don Robot, which is a magnificent hour and was already repeated on the current SPR ... a very special show, though folks will still freak at "Let's take a trip down Whittier Boulevard" ... or better yet ... "Close To You" by the Clams (related to Tony Levin I think!!!) and some other neat stuff, but his fake commercials were the best part!

I agree on Fish Rising and ELP and a few others where I don't know the rest of the catalogue that well (I didn't have much time for any Neu! album after the debut for example; of National Health I only know the first two albums and yes, the first one is better).
An example of an artist of whom I love a lot of albums is David Sylvian's Brilliant Trees.

I make typos so you see I'm not a machine, but I may be a machine pretending to not be a machine.

Hi,

Was going to add more to the list, but while looking at Discogs for many of them, some were not debut albums, and for the show SPR, they were the first album by that band that was played, but, if anything, it gives you an incredible idea of the variety of the stuff that Guy played on his Sunday Night opus.

I'm still working on the list and hopefully will have by tomorrow or so ... gosh, I ended up finding bad spelling mistakes on the spreadsheets I'm having to fix!!!

I'd vote for Todd Rundgren's "Utopia" debut, ITCOTCK, Captain Beyond, and maybe Flash!

Not sure about ELP's debut, I'd lean to "Tarkus."

Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs" was amazing!

Yeah, TR'sU is the best thing he was ever involved in (I like the next two a lot, too).
