For a band whose greatest achievements were cut on-stage, Status Quo were never especially generous when it came to live recordings – a point that Francis Rossi conceded when he admitted he wasn't actually a fan of such things. But 1977's Live remains one of the decade's most crucial in-concert recordings and, though Live at the NEC can barely compete with it in terms of fiery abandon, still it captures the band in full flight, across a track listing that could almost double as a greatest-hits collection.

"Questa è la cosa più vicina a quell'autobiografia di Freddie che avremmo sempre desiderato. Un must per tutti i fan di Freddie e dei Queen". "Sono un grande fan di Freddie Mercury e ho un bel po' di libri su di lui. Ma non c'è niente di meglio che sentire la sua storia e i suoi pensieri direttamente dalla sua voce". "È come stare seduti accanto a Freddie Mercury e sentirlo parlare delle sue idee e dei suoi sentimenti". Ecco come i fan dei Queen hanno accolto questo libro dopo la sua uscita in Inghilterra. Perché per la prima volta lo spirito magnificamente eccessivo di Mercury viene reso in un libro senza intermediari, senza autori che cerchino di raccontare la sua storia e interpretare i suoi pensieri attraverso il filtro delle loro opinioni.

This is a two-disc, 28-track anthology of favorites by Australian guitar virtuoso Tommy Emmanuel. Disc one is electric and disc two is acoustic. This cd is a wonderful introduction to Tommy Emmanuel's music. This virtuoso has been hailed by Chet Atkins as "One of the greatest players on this planet" and was honored by Chet in 1999 as CGP. He's known throughout the world and is starting to make a name for himself in the US. If you enjoy lush rich guitar playing, this one is for you. It's full of many styles - jazz, blues, country - and many moods. It also gives the listener a great sampling of his range both acoustically and electric. I've had the chance to see him live and he plays his music with every fiber of his being. If you cannot get his whole catalog, this one is a great beginning to your collection.
