Classic Rock (Phil Collins lives, run for the hills)

Meant to ask one of you @OB1 who’ve been to see him, I know it might seem a minor point if he was there to reflect on his whole life/career, but was there any mention made of the 40th anniversary re-issue campaign?
I’m interested because the Signals one which was most recent was a bit underwhelming - I was really hoping a full live show from that tour would be included - and so I’m really hoping for much better from the p/g release which I assume is coming next year.

A full expanded video (or even just audio) from the 60 min Montreal tour video would be great
No one asked about that. Wish now that I’d submitted a question on the subject.

I agree the Signals release was very poor compared the other ones, so I didn’t buy it, unlike all the others. I was very disappointed because “Signals” is one of my favourite Rush albums.

Great list thank you as always @blueparrot . You buy a lot more than I do but great to see Trevor and Southern Empire in there.
I will be purchasing Himlabacken soon and can’t wait for the new Dunnery It Bites album out soon.

I’ve only bought the first 20, the other 8 I’ve listened to on apple music and liked, I may buy them, especially the Moon Safari but in previous years the next year has overtaken my buying and I will probably only go back to those 7/8 streaming.The It bites will be interesting ,I did like the John Mitchell It bites albums.

My ability to listen to more music in 2024 has blossomed.
Got an MP3 player and Bluetooth headphones and a retro CD player. Converting my spare room into a music room.
I am also now semi retired so more time available as well as more options.
Yes I like the JM led It Bites albums too.I do like having a physical copy of an album.
Still not bought Mirror to the Sky !!!

Best thing for me was lockdown and my daughter put me on her family iTunes account, I bought some airpods and started walking. So now I can listen to most new albums free, then decide whether to buy physical, just put in my iTunes library or forget.
Best magazine for me finding new music, Fireworks magazine
quarterly subscription and covers almost all the different genres that I enjoy.

I tend to use “Louder” online for my news but don’t subscribe to the Magazine.
As for buying - Have you ever looked at https://www.caerllysimusic.co.uk/

Interesting. Only a few there that I’ve got.

I couldn’t do a top 30 at the moment as I have some 2023 albums I got for Xmas that have not been played yet and some that need more plays.

The Rolling Stones, Ian Hunter and Extreme are probably my top 3.

Metallica, Tull, Rabin & Alice Cooper would also be high on the list.

Totally forgot the Alice Cooper that was a fine album and should be in there.

Only just listened to the 'new' Heep, after lots of end of year praises, probably one of the best ever new releases by a 50+ year old band
