Rare Bird - Beautiful Scarlet: The Recordings 1969-1975 (6 CD, 2021/FLAC)


 Rare Bird was a late 1960’s/early 1970’s UK progressive rock band that lived up to their name by recording their first two albums without a guitarist, led instead by two keyboard players. This would change, with the band including lead guitar on their final three LP’s before calling it a day in 1975.

 Esoteric Recordings has gathered together all five studio albums, supplemented by all extant single sides, and included a previously unreleased live performance from 1974 in their new six disc box set named for a track from their self-titled 1969 debut long player.

Chris Robinson Brotherhood - 5 Nights at Betty’s Blends, San Francisco, CA - Dec 2012

  

Betty’s Blends: Live at Great American Music Hall, San Francisco was recorded on December 11, 12, 14, 15 and 16 of 2012. Recorded and mastered Betty Cantor-Jackson, a longtime recording engineer for the Grateful Dead. Almost from the outset, the Dead were meticulous about taping their concerts.

During several periods in their history, Cantor-Jackson did the taping, mixing the soundboard feed directly onto a two-track tape as the music was being performed.

Robinson and co. strike a psychedelic balance between lush jamming and bluesy rocking. The result is a real trip down the rabbit hole complete with some of Robinson’s most poetic lyrics and truly impressive musicianship. It’s a fascinating, fiery, and formidable introduction to the group and one of the year.

Jefferson Starship discography [1974-2020]


 Jefferson Starship
were among the most successful arena rock bands of the 1970s and early '80s. Guitarist Paul Kantner and singer Grace Slick started the group after the disbandment of Jefferson Airplane, adding former Airplane vocalist Marty Balin not much later. Red Octopus, their second album, established Jefferson Starship as a mainstream rock powerhouse. It topped Billboard's album chart and its smooth single "Miracles" gave the band a number three hit that crossed over to the adult contemporary charts. Many Airplane fans decried the Starship's more mainstream musical direction, especially after Airplane singers Grace Slick and Marty Balin departed in 1978. But with shifting personnel still anchored by Kantner and bassist David Freiberg, the group managed to please its new fans, and some old ones, over a period of a decade before shifting gears into even more overtly pop territory and changing names again to simply Starship. Kantner revived Jefferson Starship in the '90s, bringing Freiberg back into the fold in the mid-2000s, and the bassist kept the band going into the 2020s after the 2016 death of Kantner.
