The End Of The Year Message.

Well here we are again another year ended at HRC.

As usual thanks to all the visitors,commenters

and contributors.

Special thanks to UFO STEVE for all his shares &

"Classic" RICK for throwing a lot of shows our way lately.

Also to EDDIE for sharing his recordings,all appreciated.

Those of you wondering about Rocket and if there's any

news on that front.The answer is no.

I last heard from Rocket on the 22nd June 2023.

Since then I've fired a few emails his way but I've

never had a reply.What does it mean? I dunno,

but hopefully a comeback is still on the cards.

So all that's left to say is have a happy,safe, (Rockin') and healthy

Festive Season.

It's time to shut the barn doors and we'll be back in 2026.

See Ya Then!!

I Been Bad,I Been Good...

Here's a boot concert of Nazareth from 1976,

the sound is so crystal clear it should have been made into a Live LP!

It even includes Nazareth playing ZZ Top's Tush !

Extremely rare boot !!!

You will not believe your ears on Fidelity! Rick.

Goodbye To All The Past...

Here's my audio rip from the classic TV Broadcast dvd.

Ozzy from 1982 at Irvine Meadows.

After the death of Randy Rhodes the show

had to go on.Brad Gillis stepped up and did a great job

before returning to Night Ranger.

Which is where you'll find him today.

I looked up the date of the show and two dates came up.

The 12th or 25th of June 1982.

If anybody knows for sure...

You Made The Impact Back In 1969...

A rip of my original bootleg cd.

This was always a three track disc.

he back cover and cd lists Shoot Shoot as track 13 but it never existed

The cd is probably the best recording from the band's

Strangers In The Night Tour of 1979 with Paul Chapman.

It has of course been released in

many different formats over the

years and is recognised by UFO fans.

Can You Sting Me?...

NEW LINKS

Excellent soundboard from the Scorpions.

They're on a roll on the Love At First Sting Tour.

Promoting the album of the same name.

Of course we also got a classic live album

from this tour.

One of the best bands of the genre,

many consistent albums and live they nail it.

Still on their never ending farewell tour it seems,

good luck to them!

Rainy Day,Stormy Night...

Magnum from 1988.

This is a Radio Broadcast so we get them in

all their Pomp & Majesty.

This is the start of their most popular period

with the albums,Wings Of Heaven and

Goodnight L.A. Unfortunately they couldn't

crack America.Which is a pity

as they were a match for any of those

Melodic Rock bands at the time.

As we know it didn't matter how popular

or unpopular Magnum were,they still

released albums and toured on a

regular basis.Right up until the end.

Shaken Not Stirred...

(Rick has sent in this Brian Setzer show that was already posted but

with dead links.So once again I've hijacked an old post

to make it new...enjoy).

There can't be many things better than a New Year's Eve

show with the Brian Setzer Orchestra.

From San Francisco back in '95.

Great music (Rock,Rock 'n' Roll,Rockabilly & Big Band)

played by a fantastic band.

Radio Broadcast,Let's Rock!

Note: I Only Used Discogs For Photo Art And Info, This Collection. This was circulating in the early days of the Internet! I can't remember who I traded with to get this specific concert. No Cover Art, So I Borrowed Artwork From Discogs, re-encoded it, it's a rough recording, but provides many left out songs, I also tagged each title of songs. This is from what I know First generation of the taper. Many copies are out there, but this is The Original Boot! Rick, courtesy of Hear Rock City!
