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...
NEW LINKS
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.

You Got Got...
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!
They Call Me...
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!

or
Pulsating To The Back Beat...
NEW LINKS
Little vinyl upload from the 10" record
released in 1990.
The Godfathers formed in the mid 80's
too late for Punk & too early for Britpop.
So they were kind of out on their own playing their
kind of music.They are guitar heavy but they're neither
Heavy Metal or Heavy Rock
they are Rock 'n' Roll.Sharp suited back in the day
they looked like some East End of London gangster mob.
Imagine the Krays in a band!
Still going today playing gigs and about to release a new album.
Only Peter Coyne (vocals) remains from the original band,
they're still lethal live.
