Where's the awe?

This should be asked so I'll ask.

Of all I have mentioned in the few short days of this uncertain blog, John Martyn and Quintessence have earned that quality for me. Always. It can be an individual track/performance or an overall judgement. Again, works both ways for these two. Always.

It's a big ask at any time, and not attaining it can still leave brilliance/excellence/stonkingness and so on.

On cd 3 of Cave of Clear.... there's no such hit, but Chris Farlowe is up there with the greats, solo and, for me, with Colosseum who I saw in Norwich [I think...] with a then just emerging Mott the Hoople but I can't remember if Farlowe was with Colosseum then and I should so I'll say I did just so I feel that I have.
