Spread The Word Today...

 

          

A well-known Ozzy Osbourne bootleg from 1983.
An excellent soundboard recording and 
performance from what surely must be 
one of the best line ups of his solo bands.
  Jake E. Lee on guitar, Tommy Aldridge - drums
 Bob Daisley - bass and Don Airey - keyboards.

  (The file doesn't match the cover listing but the music's all there)






 

He Feels It From His Soul...

 



Deep Purple mk8 playing the classic 1972 album 
Machine Head in full including the excellent 
When A Blind Man Cries in 2004.
Ian Gillan may not scream as he once did and 
Steve Morse is no Ritchie Blackmore 
but it's a very enjoyable 49 minutes of classic Purple. 

(A one track Mp3 file)

Voices Call The Nameless One...



A soundboard recording of Trapeze live in 1971 
playing Blues Style Hard Rock.
 Although fairly unknown at the time this 
line up would now be called a Supergroup.
With 
Glenn Hughes bass / vocals 
 Mel Galley   guitar/ vocals
Dave Holland   drums
The set features an early version of Medusa a song 
Glenn Hughes still plays to this day.





 

Let Them Roll Right Over You...



Another old well-known UFO bootleg live in 
Blackpool 1977 on the Lights Out UK tour.
The sound is a bit rough and ready
 but its primetime Schenker and very listenable.
I've also added a second show the rarely posted 
Manchester show recorded 2 days later. 
It has a couple of cuts and the sound drops on 
Shoot Shoot and Rock Bottom but again a nice listen.
And as always with these '77  shows there's some 
great guitar work from Michael Schenker.

Look Back And Turn Back...



A very good sounding two track DVD audio of 
Uriah Heep live in the USA 2024.
I had the pleasure of seeing the band live recently 
on the Magician's Farewell tour in the UK and they were excellent.
Just as they are here with a really good setlist of new songs from the excellent 
Chaos And Colour album and of course the old 70s classics.
With Mick box,even at the age of 77 still plays as well as he ever did.









Rock On (Rock On) ...



Here's an excellent sounding semi-acoustic and chat set from the 
VH1 TV show in New York 1999.
Oh how times have changed for the Sheffield 
Rockers since the original Wasted single in 1979.

It's Coming Down On You...


 

Of all the gigs I went to this year THIS was the one I was looking forward to the most...having given me one of my all time favourite nights (Marquee '82) Shamefully I had not seen them since '86.So it was long overdue and celebrating their 50th year they did not disappoint.Mr Menketti and the guys for 2 hours totally blew the roof off and I am sure when they played 'I believe you' I witnessed grown men crying.It's nights like this you realize why rock music is as popular now as it ever was...
what a night...Enjoy,Ed.

Come Bye,Come Bye...



The spirit of 70's stadium filling Southern Rock is still alive & kicking with bands like these even though they are from Canada they play REAL Southern Rock of the highest quality.Taking us back to the greats like The Allman Bros,Skynyrd,Point Blank etc etc.Fantastic night of music just showing us you can still play retro but with that modern twist & energy...keep an eye on these guys mefinks they are gonna be huge...Enjoy,Ed.

Do What You Got To Do...



A very good audience recording of the 
Frantic Four doing what they do best in Glasgow 2013.
It was a real shame that this reunion came to an 
end as it really brought back the feel of  70s Quo.
But we do have the new live box set to look forward to in March 

(The track listing doesn't match the file but the Boogie's all there)








 

I Used To Be A Dreamer...


An excellent sounding one track DVD 
audio of former Bon Jovi guitarist 
Richie Sambora playing a 54 minute set of  
Melodic Rock songs including a few Bon Jovi Classics.

Come On Ride With Me...


 Here's one sent in by BKF.Thanks buddy,appreciate the share.

Hi fellas,
hope all of the team behind the scenes at the Barn are doing well. 
Just wanted to pass this show your way as it seemed 
a good fit for HRC & there aren't many good 
sounding vintage shows by them in circulation. 
Do feel free to share it on the blog if you want.
It's Circus Of Power live at a club called 
Sundance in Bayshore, Long Island, 
New York back in 1988. A great soundboard
 recording from back when they were touring their S/T debut 
(on this occasion they were supporting Yngwie Malmsteen which 
seems a strange musical mismatch) 
and it even includes one non-LP track. 
Just 8 songs, but it's all killer, no filler.
Full CD art & txt included, no password required, 320 kbps mp3.
Happy listening & keep up the great work. 
What you do here is much appreciated.
All the best,
BFK.

She Took Everything...



Here is one that's been up before,years ago (2016).
UFO promoting one of my favourite UFO albums You Are Here in 2004.
A rejuvenated lineup put in a fine performance of old and new tracks.
Amazingly this is version 34 of the band.




 

Just A Slight Change Of Plans...



Two versions of this excellent Fm  Radio Broadcast 
from the Electric Ladyland studios, New York 1992.
 The original broadcast with radio 
announcements included. 
 Then the show with two extra tracks without announcements.
Great sound and setlist with vocalist   
Lou Gramm showing what a great voice he has.

Version 1

Version 2

Easing Down The Highway In A New Cadillac...



DVD rip of veteran Texas Rockers running 
through a collection of well known songs from their large repertoire.
And good to see a couple of tracks off the 
excellent 2012 La Futura album.
