It took over 40 years, but I finally got my hands on a copy of Living Eyes on CD, thanks to Japan’s re-issue campaign of the Bee Gees’ catalog on SHM-CD. Living Eyes remains one of the group’s most underrated albums, but for me, it’s a hidden gem. If you've never heard this album take a listen.

The Atmos mix is absolutely incredible, the instruments filling the surround speakers and vocals sounding so real I briefly thought someone was singing behind me. Fleetwood Mac’s 1975 self-titled album the first record with new members Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, the precursor to "Rumours"

I absolutely love this new version of "Heaven" that @bryanadams performs in concert. I’m usually not a fan of artists changing up arrangements too drastically live, but his new up-tempo, rhythmic take on “Heaven” was fabulous. Dare I say, I might even prefer it to the original.

Cyndi Lauper in Vancouver this August. From Girls Just Want to Have Fun to my favourite track Shine, she captivated the crowd. During I Drove All Night, her gown became a live projection screen, she performed “Iko Iko” with a washboard, and sang True Colors with the Pride flag flying proud XOXO ❤️.
