Paul McCartney: Paul is Live



Qobuz 96/24 Streaming

A collection of live tracks from various stops in McCartney's New World Tour in support of the Off the Ground album.

Later live albums (Good Evening New York City and Back in the US) are better from both sonic and performance perspectives so I personally would not spend money to buy this reissue (and more importantly, owning the other two live albums I do not think it is worth the shelf space to have a physical copy of this one as well.)

That said, it was still worth a listen on Qobuz.

This is a good example of the modern decision of what to own vs what to bookmark in a streaming service.

The Oscar Peterson Trio: The London House Sessions



Qobuz Streaming

5 CDs worth of music recorded at the London House in Chicago in the Summer of 1961.

Peterson with Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen. This is a collection of some really top shelf jazz.

The CD version, which I also have, has slightly better SQ. But today, with my aching back I was just not in any shape to drag my butt out of the chair to change albums. It was a good day to just sit there with my tablet and pilot the streamer.  ;)
