You can't categorise them.
It's Living Colour.
Here's a sweet Radio Broadcast from
back in 1989 when their debut
album was riding high.
If you like Rock,Soul,Funk...etc.

Music Is Your Only Weapon...
Punky Gothic Rock from the 80's.
The Lords Of The New Church in France 1984.
It's a little rough in places but a good listen.
The only album I have of theirs is
The Method To Our Madness.
I bought it when it came out.Whenever that was?
But! It's a really good album.
Featuring Stiv Bators (Deadboys)
and Brian James (The Damned).
Gonna Get You...
Maiden on the Killers Tour
with D'ianno on vocals (some folks Fav).
Here they are on the way to conquering America.
And a few years later they did.
Their brand of Metal is still going
strong all these years later.
Up The Irons!!
And There Was My Guitar,Electric Junk...
Ian Hunter and his old mate Mick Ronson.
Here they are at the famous
Rockpalast TV & Radio show,
West Germany back in 1980.
What can you say? Great songs played well.
Classic Rock!
You're Just A Face In The Crowd...

What Happens when you put Ian Hunter & Mick Ronson
together? You get Hunter/Ronson of course.
Great little Radio Broadcast showcasing Ian's
songwriting & Ronno's guitar playing.

On Borrowed Time...
NEW LINK
As we all know these guys should've been huge.
They were heads and shoulders above their contemporaries
in terms of songwriting.
But there were many reasons that they didn't get to the Premier League.
Here's the show that a young Lar Ulrich attended.
Hence the title.
Years later he did do them a favour,unfortunately that
was blown as well.
Enjoy!
A Long Way From Home...
NEW LINK
Some kind of compilation here
from Mark I & II.
Comprising of live and studio tracks.
Taken from the vinyl so it's a little noisy.
For those who must have all things Purple!
The Night Belongs To Us...
NEW LINK
Cool show from Canadian Hard Rockers,Coney Hatch.
They released a couple of good albums back in
the early 80's.As with a lot of bands it couldn't
be maintained.
So here they are live from that hotbed of
Hard Rock...Cleveland.
Get Used To It...
NEW LINK
Something to keep you awake if you're
feelin' tired.Aussie high energy Boogie
Merchants,Airbourne.
Playing some kind of MTV show from 2010.
High Voltage!!
It's Torture...

A very powerful show from Retro Rockers,
Rival Sons.
From the Sweden Rock Festival back
in 2012.
If You Like Your Rock classy
these boys will satisfy.
Here Come's Another One...
NEW LINK
Here's a nice show from a classic band,Rivals Sons.
Sure they've got that Retro sound.
But they add so much more.
Still releasing quality albums they're one
of my fav's.
This is from waaayyy back in 2009,
The Roxy,Hollywood.
You Can Hear The Outlaws Holler...
NEW LINK
More Southern Rock this time 38 Special.
Broadcast by the BBC so it's soundin' good.
A bit more commercial sounding than
some of the other bands of the genre.
Still plenty of guitar action to be had here.
Of course featuring one of the Van Zant clan (Donnie) on vocals.
He Heard One Guitar, Just Blew Him Away...
NEW LINK
Quality Melodic Rock from Foreigner captured live.
Absolutely massive at one time,they had the songs
and the song writing.
Plus it didn't hurt that in Lou Gramm they had a
world class singer.
Maybe better known for all the hit ballads
they had but they could Rock out too.
Silver cd Rip.
You Sometimes Drive Me Crazy...
NEW LINK
Excellent show from Rush back in '02
on the Vapour Trails Tour.
This was a bit of a comeback for Rush
after taking time out for Neil Peart's tragedies.
Great setlist and they don't forget their
Proggy roots either.
I Just Want To Stand And Stare..
There's been a lot of line ups of
Iron Maiden and this one is a lot of peoples favourite.
Here they are from the Beat Club in Germany.
A couple of technical issues but the
boys pull it together and keep Rockin'!!
It's My Life,Baby...
Excellent show from R & B legends,
The Fabulous Thunderbirds.
A Radio Broadcast from San Francisco back in '87.
These guys seem to have been around forever.
I've got an album of theirs from the 70s.
Nope I don't know what it's called,
I'd need to look for it!!
But I Kinda Like The Music...
And The Sword By My Side...
NEW LINK
This one is up already but this would appear to be
the full concert.
From classic 70's Rockers,Angel.
Live in Fresno '78.
It's an enjoyable audience recording.
A great band with an interesting sound.
Proggy,Hard & Melodic Rock.
I thought their image was pretty cool too.
We Got The Whole Damn Night To Go...
NEW LINK
Just to get it out of the way,I'm a big fan of Hysteria.
I know it's not the heaviest of albums.
But it does show what can be achieved when
all that time can be spent on an album.
Here's Leppard playing a home town show at the
beginning of the Hysteria Tour.
Great stuff it is too.
With a mighty fine setlist.
Def Leppard the most successful band of the 80's.
(sales wise?)
They've just released a new album to positive reviews.
Gonna Rock It Up...
NEW LINK
First time at HRC I think for Aussie legend
Jimmy Barnes.Or Barnesy as he's know over there.
Great vocalist he'd be classed as a belter.
Getting to Australia like the Young Brothers
and Bon Scott,via Scotland.
This is a promo cd featuring full band performances
and acoustic numbers.
He released some excellent albums at the start of
his solo career.
Jimmy Barnes,Freight Train Heart & the excellent live album
Barnestorming.If you like that 80's
Hard Melodic Rock worth checking out.
One,Two,Three,Four...
NEW LINK
The Godfathers of Punk,most probably.
A suitably manic show.
A thirty three track set and no time to catch your breath.
Definitely a one off.

Dancin' And Hummin'...
It's a Rock n Roll Party from the Faces.
Performed in 1974 and broadcast in 1975
for The Midnight Special TV Show.
With special guest Keith Richards
on a couple of tracks.
I'll bet after this show they went quietly off to
bed with a cup of tea and a good book!!
They Went To My Baby's Head...
Neil Young goes Rockabilly.
A band put together just for the one album,
Everybody's Rockin' back in 1983.
Here they are live with a setlist
(like the album) that's mostly covers.
