Skylab @skylabtapes.bsky.social · Oct 3
Here are my favorite albums that were released in Q3 (July/Aug/Sept) of 2025. As usual, I only include albums I liked enough to buy on vinyl or CD. Q3 was a bit lean for me - I listened to quite a few more albums than this that just didn’t grab me strongly. Overall though 2025 remains strong!

Steve Hackett @stevehacketthq.bsky.social and his incredible band were absolutely fabulous last night at Joliet’s beautiful Rialto Square Theater. Such a treat to see Nick D’Virgilio in the drum seat, and Steve was in excellent form with some truly exceptional solos. Awesome show as always!!!

RIP Donna Jean Godchaux 😢

Long ago a buddy sent me a print of an original photo he had taken of Bobby and Donna along with some other 70’s GD shots - always really liked this one. #RIPDonnaJean
