Long Goodbye The

The Long Goodbye: LCD Soundsystem Live at Madison Square Garden is a live album by the New York City dance-punk band LCD Soundsystem. It is a near-unedited live record, comprising what was billed at the time as their "final" show, held at Madison Square Garden in 2011. Like the show, the record runs approximately three hours and presents 28 songs divided into five LPs. The record follows the live in studio record London Sessions, also from 2011.

With its pop adaptations of Bach and its album with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Procol Harum was an early advocate of a marriage between rock and classical music. So, this album of Procol Harum music recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and (on the title track) the Sinfonia of London, with former Procol Harum vocalist/pianist Gary Brooker singing on seven of the 12 tracks and producing, and with former Procol Harum guitarist Robin Trower and organist Matthew Fisher appearing on a version of "Repent Walpurgis," would seem like a more comfortable combination than similar recent collections devoted to the Rolling Stones and Yes…

An outstanding UK band with PENDRAGON/GENESIS influences and occasional flourishes of Pink Floyd. The Long Goodbye is a debut album released in 1996. The band has a dramatic vocal style, HACKETTesque guitars. The flute on the album, played by Martin Orford, adds a bit of variation. Fans of symphonic progressive rock should appreciate Moria Falls. Band members include Miff (vocals), David White (keyboards), Patrick Darlington (bass, acoustic guitar), Richard Jordan (drums, 12 string & nylon string guitars) and Glen Sandeman (electric guitars).

Hailing from Chicago, Rocket Miner has been creating their blend of post-rock. Combining elements of shoegaze, heavy riffs, classical themes and other varying elements into their sweeping instrumentals. Formed in 2010, Rocket Miner has been receiving praise for their songs and live shows from day one. Rocket Miner's sound has been compared to Post-Rock stalwarts Explosions in the Sky and Russian Circles. They have also shared the stage with many fantastic bands like Junius, You.May.Die.In.The.Desert, and The Life and Times. Recommended if you like: Explosions in the Sky, Russian Circles, This Will Destroy You.

Conventional wisdom holds that the Beatles intended Abbey Road as a grand farewell, a suspicion seemingly confirmed by the elegiac note Paul McCartney strikes at the conclusion of its closing suite. It’s hard not to interpret “And in the end / the love you take / is equal to the love you make” as a summation not only of Abbey Road but perhaps of the group’s entire career, a lovely final sentiment. The truth is perhaps a bit messier than this. The Beatles had tentative plans to move forward after the September 1969 release of Abbey Road, plans that quickly fell apart at the dawn of the new decade, and while the existence of that goal calls into question the intentionality of the album as a finale, it changes not a thing about what a remarkable goodbye the record is.
