My favorite is "Dove C'� Musica" by Eros Ramazzotti (DDD/BMG 1996). It has a killer backing band featuring Mike on guitar, Vinnie Colaiuta on drums and Nathan East on bass.

The Joni Mitchell albums from the early '80s ("Wild Things Run Fast", "Dog Eat Dog") also feature plenty of Mike's chops. Check out Joni's "Refuge Of The Road" DVD - it features both Mike and Vinnie in a live setting around 1984.

Thanks for the info! I have heard Wild Things Run Fast and I can't get into it at all. I will check out those other Joni Mitchell albums and the Eros one for sure.

Hey guys,

I was reading through Michael's huge discography and was wondering what albums you'd recommend that are full of his playing?

I was at the Karlsruhe shows this year and last year. I have audio recordings of both shows, in case anyone is interested. Unfortunately both are incomplete.
Has anybody found out abut the source of the video of last year's Karlsruhe show? The clips look really great.

Cheers

Tom Scott put this band together for Olivia & it included Robert " Pops " Popwell ( Rascals / Crusaders ) , Mike Landau and the incomparable and utterly unique Buzz Feiten who should be a huge star .. this is the Buzz of I'm Buzzed , of course .
Mike L's association with Bob Bradshaw started on this tour I believe via Buzz who insisted Bob be part of the sound crew .
Buzz played the quite superb solo on Physical ( footage available on You Tube .. just type in Buzz Feiten ) .. Mike L played one too .
A VHS is available - rarae but available .
Anybody who has not done so should check Buzz out - Full Moon ( 71 ) - is the album to strat ( I mean start ) with , Neil Larsens lovely albums esp Jungle Fever & High Gear, the Larsen/ Feiten Band albums , the Rascals Island of Real ( with Pops & from which comes Buzz's rhythm masterpiece Junglewalk ) , Dave Weckl Band ( Synergy & Rhythm of The Soul ) , Whirlies , New Full Moon .
Master guitar player ... utterly unique .
I'd love to hear from any fellow Buzz admirers .. we need to make some noise and get Buzz out there working .

When I started this thread I actually mistyped the subject. My intention was to write "Burning Water/TRH releases".

That typo must have been a Freudian slip of the finger because today AbstractLogix.com announced the reissues of the two TRH albums, so released they are! http://www.abstractlogix.com/xcart/_search.php?page=1&q=honkies&x=0&y=0

Apparently the Landau Bros. did some digging and found the master reels for those albums. Let's keep our fingers crossed for the reissues of the Burning Water titles...!

The songs with solo's:

Have fun watching!
