just seeing this for the first time in a long gave me a delightful micro flashback

Interesting trend in Philly.  I've been to a couple of the ones mentioned, and they are generally pretty laid-back.

Philadelphia’s growing number of listening rooms and record bars is music to vinyl lovers’ ears

The last Genesis album. Everything after this was crap. Even Calling All Stations.

I haven't the foggiest idea.  I've been populating my store with these albums.

I'll figure something out.  Been looking at some ELP, Genesis, 10 CC, maybe The Band or Petty or even some Steppenwolf.

I'm adjusting to my new work schedule so I'm kinda punchy right now.

And with this album the stylus now has 700 hours or 2100 album sides on it.

The wife was at this concert.  It will be really interesting to see her reaction when I get to play it back for her.  She was 15 and her date got too loaded to drive home so she had to and had to learn how to drive a stick at the same time.

They're still friends and even talk about the concert now and then.  She wants me to send him a copy of the rip as a surprise.

She got to see Jimi and I got to see Jim.  A tie of sorts, maybe, but not really.  :)

After only thru the second side, she won.

Cheers back at you! I thought that the side 1 thing might be true but also that I also just might be misunderstanding.
And that'll make the boy happy that he got something unique (and valuable, according to me).

If you recall Tull once got a Grammy for Heavy Metal, so go figure.  But it was definitely a different direction back then.

This has been in the to do pile for a few years and finally got to it.

It's a goldmine though and I just got done busting up the individual tracks.  Take me about 3 weeks to get through them all.

I must say that it gave me the need to give Deep Purple / Made In Japan another look.  This was a HQ concert album that I just never got around to getting.

So much music, so little time ... sigh ...

Hi.  I'm pretty sure this would be it.  Yours has a matrix variation that has yet to be added.  The same Side 2 stamper was used for two different pressings.  Your Side 1 is unique.  Doesn't make it anymore valuable, just different.

A lot of 'hits" there though.

Here's the link to the pictures

Thanks!
