In These Days Of Cool Reflection...

The Cross reunion show after 20 years featuring 

Queen drummer Roger Taylor.
Taylor formed The Cross in 1987 with 

Queen touring keyboardist Spike Edney. 
They recorded three albums before disbanding in 1993, 
they reformed for this one off performance in 

Guildford in the UK in 2013.
Roger Taylor is on vocals for the 

majority of the show before the special guests.
Its a very good audience recording.

You Must Have The Blues...

 Another hometown show.

It's Aerosmith in Boston 1994.

One of my favourite bands and one

of the all time greats.

Unfortunately they had to call it a day

recently and cancel the rest of their

farewell tour.

Back when I was a teen I thought 

all the bands I liked would last forever.

Time catches up with us all.

One thing is for sure we'll never see the likes

of our favourites again.

Anyway...excellent setlist here with the 'smiths

playing a lot of their older classic tunes.

Yes I know there's some "interesting" song

titles on the back cover lol.

I've Seen Darkness,I've Seen The Light...

 

Alright,this one was talked about in 

the comments.Somebody's trying to collect all

of Eddie's shows and Praying Mantis could not be found.

So I had a look and there it was in amongst Eddie's original

batch of recordings.

So here it is 42 years in the making!

It's Getting Near Dawn...

Classic Blues Rock band Ten Years After live at the 

famous Rainbow Theatre in Finsbury Park, London,1972. 

On the Rock And Roll Music To The World album tour.

  Featuring plenty trademark Alvin Lee guitar solos 

and some good keyboard work by Chic Churchill.

 A good soundboard recording that 

really takes me back in time as 

I saw the band  a few months later in 1973.

I've Been Livin' Too fast...

Many Days Have Passed Me By...

 

A very good sounding audience recording of 

Budgie from 2006.

With Burke Shelly and the boys still showing what  a great live 

Rock Band they were even after 39 years (at the time).

Good setlist with plenty of variety to go with the heavy riffs.

Hail Hail Rock 'n' Roll...

Last minute gig for me tonight.To be honest I never really paid much attention to these guys over the years but I was given a ticket and the support bands looked good so why not?...Well well well I didn't expect this they were so good with some great songs and lead singer Josh Todd is such an engaging frontman you just can't take your eyes off him.The venue was packed so occasionally the recording suffers from idiots who would rather discuss what they had for dinner last night than watch the gig....Jeez i hate these people...Oh well I still came away with a new favourite band...Enjoy,Ed.

Where Legends Dwell...

 

My flurry into Symphonic Metal continues 

I can even put up with the dreaded 

backing tapes and admit it does work 

within this genre of metal.

We had four bands giving it their all 

tonight to quite frankly a piss poor turnout, 

so a big high five to all of them.

Great night...Enjoy,Ed.

Someone Screaming My Name...

 Excellent FM Radio broadcast from

the Joe Lynn Turner fronted version of Rainbow.

From The Difficult To Cure Tour.

By this stage they were going all out

to become an all conquering AOR band.

With varying degrees of success.

Fascinating band due to the number of

members and the very different types

of Rock Band they became.
