I just picked up a pair of Beolab 8000 - aesthetically over the top but so intriguing since they are powered. I figured out how to stream spotify from an iphone into an airport express which is then wired to the speakers. The audiophile in me wants to run everything out of a preamp and add a powered sub but for now, this will be a great second set up. Congrats to the OP for improving her sonic experience and, FWIW, I suffered through a Little Feat concert once. terrible. |

There are connections in the back for external antennas. My parents got a lot of good use out of it, though. A lot of Sibelius, Rachmaninoff, Segovia, and others were played on it - back when it sounded better.

I've been on a bit of a mission to see a lot of old performers before they stop touring or just plain die. I've kinda done that for 20 years or so (e.g. John Lee Hooker), but the effort has accelerated over time, especially in the last 3-4 years. I just buy a ticket and go. It could be a singer/musician/band that I'm not terribly interested in, but I want to see at least once. Maybe I catch them on a good night. Maybe I catch them on a bad night. Maybe the sound is great. Maybe the sound is bad. Maybe the sound is really bad - I once saw Aretha Franklin perform with a horrible sound system that muted her, but that wasn't her fault. The worst show I've seen was good. The best shows were flat out outstanding. Amazing. Moving. Stirred my soul. A variety of genres. I saw a reincarnation of Little Feat at a local show 2-3 years ago. It was worth the price of admission. Not great, but good. I'd buy another ticket if they came around again.

They were the opener for Yes...the first tour after Wakeman left. To this day both my friend who I went with an I use Little Feat as a code word for a terrible show. To Rueben's point, I feel lucky to have seen a lot of live shows in my life. Across genres. Sometimes I wish I was a bit older to have seen some of the iconic but then again I would indeed be a lot older. :-) |
