Some Like It Some Like It...



Here's a share from BowlingRon's own recording.
Cheers Buddy!
A fairly recent concert by the fine Canadian 
Hard Rock band,
Coney Hatch.
I was into them for the 1st two albums
good to see them still out there occasionally playing.

 Here's a band that kept Rock 'n' Roll 
alive during the 80's and beyond.
The fantastic Stray Cats.
Excellent tunes and playing on this Radio Broadcast
from (mostly) Canada back in 1983.
Tracks 1-16 from a live FM Broadcast 
recorded at Massey Hall,Toronto,Canada,
28th March 1983.
Tracks 17 & 18 from a live FM Broadcast
recorded at Stages Music Hall,Chicago,
31st July 1983.   
Vinyl Rip.





Oh,Gotta Play For My Crowd...



Hell Yeah! excellent FM Radio Broadcast from
Southern Rock n Rollers,Blackfoot,
way back in '83.
They'd also added ex Uriah Heep man,
Ken Hensley on keyboards.
Still Rockin' here tho'. 




 

'Cause I've Made Your Reservation...




One of those Heritage Tours that played at fairs
back in the day,Rick tells us.
A plethora of artists here some familiar to me...some not.
Excellent audience recording.





 

And As We Drift Along...




A nice sounding Dio FM radio broadcast,  
from the  1987 Dream Evil tour.
An album that was seen as a step 
down at the time by some fans and critics,  
but now seen as a classic Dio album 
 as the tracks from the album prove here.


 

Got Something Going On...


Live at Hammersmith 1980 on the No Place to Run Tour. 
 Recorded the night after the official live version.
 A pretty decent sounding show and performance 
by the band and the London audience.
With Paul chapman now really showing his worth to the band.

She's Got The Seven Year Itch...


NEW LINK

 I got into Coney Hatch when I heard Devil's Deck
on the Friday Rock Show.I think,
it was a long time ago!  
I went and got their debut album.
Got the follow up - Outta Hand -  when that came out.
And...that was pretty much it for me and Coney Hatch.
A good Hard Rock band who never made the leap
to the big league.
So,back to '83 and a very good show from 
Quebec,Canada.
Supporting Iron Maiden.

Here's Another Great Golden Earring Concert from 1983!

Other Than That - It's a Wonderful, Exciting Concert for Your Enjoyment!


The Wolf Is Always At The Door...


NEW LINK

 Excellent sound on this one.
From New Jersey '94.
Are The Eagles too slick for Rock 'n' Roll?
Not for me.It takes a lot of talent and 
skill to play and sing this good.
If I'm feeling in the mood for something a little
softer,yeah I'll stick these guys on. 




Rock,Rock 'til You Drop...


NEW LINKS

 Could this be the greatest Heavy Rock/Metal lineup
of all?
