•I caught the Parlor Mob play the very compact Mercury Lounge back in
2008, as an opener for The London Souls. There weren't too many in the
room but a few minutes into the first song, it felt as if I was in
Madison Square Garden circa 1975.This band was gargantuan in every way. Their riffs, their attack, their
drum sound. Everything reminded me of all the bands I loved -Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath. They pulled it off.
•This Kevin Gray cut of "Superfly" is, in a word, stunning!
•The Who "Live At Hull" will never be "Leeds," but I'd argue that they were better in Hull.

Did not know that Gray was mastering Superfly, but it seems like every record ever released is going to get the Gray touch. Now, off to find that album!
Your succinct reviews are, in a word, stunning!
