From Chelsea To Toronto (Live And Studio 1967-1974) - Incredible String Band (The)

Advantages: A really nice great hotel with great customer service and all you need.
Disadvantages: Food is expensive (but worth price).

...So we arrived tired from our 10 hour flight and the receptionist was really nice and friendly. Our room was amazing. It was massive with a nice big bed and telly. We had a balcony. The hotel is in the middle of downtown. It is across the room from the massive Eaton centre which is the main shopping centre in Toronto. The subway and bus stops are outside the hotel. Room service is great and worth the money. Your order taker is friendly and proffessional. The waiter who delivers the food is always friendly and the food is presented on a tray with lots of little extras that you might need. The hotel is very well presented and always clean tidy.

Disadvantages: None, Unless You're Not A Fan

...For America, 1968 was one of the most turbulent times witnessed since the finish of the World War II, with counterculture growing in force and size, leading the charge against any form of authority or leadership. And it was rock music that was given the charge of railing against the forces, becoming almost another form of protest music, but with psychedelia instead of folk. And then in the same year as Electric Ladyland and The Beatles, comes Music From Big Pink, an album built around roots/folk-rock that was completely against the grain. For a group that had previously been the backing band for Bob Dylan's infamous 1966 world tour that shocked its audience with its use rock backing for someone who was previously seen as the cover boy for folk music, this was not the expected route. But ultimately the album went on to inspire... Read review
