> [@Ukulele\_Ike](#): > > The Who’s **Live at Leeds: Special Super Duper Edition**. Just finishing “A Quick One While He’s Away.” Which in one way is great, because it also has the whole Tommy-section of the concert, but there’s one disadvantage which favors the 25th anniversary edition: this version already expanded the original album (which is great in its own way, roughness and shortness) by the other non-Tommy songs, but as a great bonus, also included much stage chatter, especially by Pete, which sometimes is hilarious. Unfortunately, the super duper deluxe edition edited that out. ---

Oh, and what do I listen to right now? I’ve always wanted to check out Rodney Crowell, who I got to be interested in by his work with Emmylou Harris. So now I’m finally hearing his albums “Ain’t Living Long Like This” and “Diamonds And Dirt” in a row. Good stuff, though the latter is a bit too slick for my taste. But hey, it’s from 1988, what other kind of production can you expect? ---

I’ve had Billy Joel’s album _Glass Houses_ on repeat on Apple Music while driving, for the past 2 days. It’s all because of [this post](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=22124027&postcount=72) in the “Hard rocking songs by bands that surprised you” thread, which mentioned _Close To The Borderline,_ which I had never heard before. I listened to that song and was amazed to hear a Billy Joel song that sounded nothing like the “dad rock” that I associate him with. It sounded more like Thin Lizzy or T-Rex. I liked that song so much I played the whole album on Apple Music, and liked that album so much that I just kept it playing. It’s an intriguing album that contains several tracks that sound almost _exactly_ like Elvis Costello, like _I Don’t Want To Be Alone Anymore_, and _Sleeping with the Television On_. One song called _All For Leyna_ that sounds like Joel’s more famous song _Movin’ Out_ but in a minor key and with a narrator who sounds like an obsessed stalker; one song called _Don’t Ask Me Why_ which sounds like Wings-era Paul McCartney; and the best known songs from the album are probably _You May Be Right_ and _It’s Still Rock and Roll To Me_. Those two songs I have already heard a million times, so I just skip over them. This album definitely caused me to re-evaluate my impression of Billy Joel. ---

Unfortunately, the super duper deluxe edition edited that out. Speaking of live Who, I’ve been listening to/watching their “unplugged” shows from the Pryzm nightclub earlier this week. It’s so great to see Pete and Rog in a laid-back setting–warts and all–in front of a small crowd. If you’re a fan of Pete’s stage banter, these are really fun to watch.

Sepultura just released one of the greatest metal albums of all time. I know, a bold statement. I do NOT say that very often. I think the last time they had an excellent album was 1996(Roots). If you have not listened to Sepultura in 20+ years or even ever, you should check out their latest album. Sometimes, a band or artist that has been consistently releasing OK or merely adequate albums…just clicks and puts out a masterpiece. [Sepultura - Quadra](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T65_WNfqLVc&list=OLAK5uy_lUA23BXnPkYtLr6lYS7UgoN-mtBhbBNF4) Listen here I believe this will end up in my top 5 metal albums of all time. ---

Tomorrow is Mardi Gras so I’m listening to [some New Orleans Jazz](https://www.amazon.com/100-Mardi-Gras-Favorites-Ultimate/dp/B005MW426Y/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=100+mardi+gras+favorites&qid=1582582026&s=music&sr=8-1) instead of my usual. Current track is “When It’s Sleepy Time Down South” by The Red Onion Jazz Band.
