Holy smokes, that's a great video.  Long time DBT fan here - and very happy to see Jason with so much critical success.  He earned it.

Diggin the sound sprite!!!  I always love to hear European or any other peoples' interpretation of "the blues"...its the same all over.  Jazz at the Pawnshop is a favorite for SQ, though it is a bit long in the tooth.  Great sound, if not the greatest playing....still pretty good AFAIAC.... 

 
 
 
 
.....and something that came from a little closer to home.  Had to upload my copy because I couldnt find it on YT.  I just wish they had not used the fake hissing and popping at the beginning/end to make it sound like dirty vinyl.  I am still trying to get them to do a remaster, though one of the members has since passed away...regardless...her vocal range is amazing.....this was my father's favorite song they did live....ALWAYS made her sing it!!! Really wish the whole band still played out...good ole "St. Louis Blues"....ehh..I ramble....  Just listen.... :wink:

Hard to cover "The White Witch", but the DC did pretty good.  Would like to hear if they could do it live(outside the studio).  Tori Amos also has a good Landslide cover, lousy sound quality though...  Thanks again HS,  if you wanna hear some more UA I could load the rest of what I have to YT.  They were really a better "live" band though... much like The Urge, also from St. Louis...:)  ...well I guess I better post another video....most of these are my demo songs...some more newly discovered than others.  I have found that you dont have to have the best recording to get the best music, you just have to accept the limitations of your "system" and the original recording engineers.  Though I like my gear, I *love* "my" music.  Now I just gotta get working on a speaker amp/headphone setup, 'cause I dont think my Parasound Zpre has adequate output through the headphone jack.  :)
 
Fairly high noise floor with my setup, but will gladly trade for the harmonies....  lossless is notably better as I sit here and compare A/B.

Another "old" favorite....  White 12" vinyl played at 45RPM....  not for everyone, but great for critical listening...IMO  And this record REALLY needs to be cleaned...I have a VPI HW-17 vacuum cleaner that really does clean "better than new"...best money EVER spent on audio gear is that cleaner!!!  But I do love my vinyl....
 

 
...and not bad for a recording of a recording....really gives a sense of how dynamic this disc can be.  I have two copies, one VERY well played, and one played ONCE....not to be played again until I get my VPI 19 setup to rip it to digital.  I currently have a Thorens TD165 mkII, but it doesnt sound good enough to rip from....IMO.  The VPI is a basketcase, and needs a total rebuild, including a new tonearm, or I should say A tonearm...came with original "blank" armboard.  I have a ton of Acrylic(literally) in 1/4" that is going to "update" my poor old VPI.... :wink:  at least in the looks department.  We will see what funds are available come tonearm/cart setup time....lol.  Oh enjoy the audio porn in this one too!  Its amazing how many speakers were influenced by the Altec Lansing A-7 VOTT.  So much so I am building my own...my uncle has a pair of survivors along with all SS McIntosh gear...sounds AMAZING...and LOUD.  My cousin used to turn up the stereo when my uncle was gone and go cut the grass...with a POWER mower...ahh....teenage silliness....and deafness....heh.  Anyway, back to the Byrd....  If you can find this recording, get it!  There is a great drum solo that I wish I could find here to share.

Daily dose....sorry I just can't resist....  I have had most of these for a while as part of my "speaker tuning grade" or reference recordings for any evaluations.  Always looking for new stuff....any suggestions?....:).... besides, "**** Donnie!"...hehe....sorry..."OVER THE LINE...!!!"
