It's ex Faces frontman Rod on a UK Tour
back in 1976.
A very nice Radio Broadcast and whoever
his band was at this time.
Damn! very good.
Back cover missing a couple of songs
but apart from that,good to go.

You Spend My Money...
I went through the Quo stuff on the site and I
didn't see this one.Although it has been
posted here before.Quo from 1982 in Germany.
I think this was from a TV show so...
sound is good and a Rockin' time was
had by all.

Not A Word Of This Is True...
From the Black Rose Tour,classic Thin Lizzy.
Great sounding show from Preston,England.
Gary Moore is back in and the boys are flying.
A couple of hit singles too.
A much missed band.
Bonus tracks on disc two.
Are You Ready?
or
As It Began...
Going back twenty years Queen provided bootlegs on their site
for purchase.Great idea.So I ended up buying this one.
It was touted as the top 100 bootlegs.
Unfortunately it didn't seem to take off and
was disbanded after 32 shows.
But what we have here is a cracker.
Queen firing on all cylinders in
front of a fanatical crowd from Glasgow,Scotland
back in 1977.
Two mp3 files.

You Can't Forget Me,Baby...
Alright back with the Hottest Band In The Land.
Who back in December played their last live shows.
Although the word is there'll be lots more KISS to come.
But will it be music?
We know there'll be new avatar live shows.
But capturing a new generation of KISS fans,
I can't see it.
Anyway back to simpler times and another show from
the Rock The Nation Tour,featuring Thayer & Singer.
I Want You,Makin' Love & War Machine just a few of the
tunes featured.It's high entertainment Hard Rock.
or
I'm Calling All the Shots Tonight...
Aerosmith back on the road and getting
their second wind.
An in between albums tour it would seem?
Great sound and performance and what a setlist!
Although it's not one of Tyler's greatest vocal wise.
Maybe he was just a little "emotional" cos Joe's Back?
Thanks To BowlingRon for the correct date and location.
Alameda County Coliseum,Oakland CA.
31st August 1984.

All Alone Now,Except For The Memories...
Excellent show from Queensryche.
Sounds like an FM Broadcast so
great sound on this from a band that could replicate
their records live.One of
the best bands to come out of the 80's.
Plus Operation:Mindcrime is one
of the best Rock albums of all time.
Yep I did say that,cos I mean it.
or
You've Got What It Takes...
Here's a cool little compilation from Free
between December 1971 & January 1973.
One of the best Blues Rock bands of all.
Sound isn't exactly stellar but it is a
pretty decent listen.
or
Full Blown Engines...
UFO,Zurich 1975 has been around for years on the
Japanese bootleg sites.
The sound is a bit rough and ready but still very listenable.
It's a nice early concert from the Force It tour with
Michael Schenker in fine form.
I've also added a second show from the same
venue 2 years later at the start of the Lights Out tour
with a similar sound,
this one doesn't get posted very often
and again has some nice Schenker solos.
Rock Me All Night Long...
Came across this recently on a torrent site.
An excellent audience recording of Robin Trower on the
Long Misty Days tour of 1976.
With a great set list and performance,
it's classic Robin Trower at his best.
(Credit must go to the taper Stephen Hopkins
and JEMS for the mastering)

It's Enough To Make You Rip Out Your Hair...
Sleazy Hard Rock from NYC could've,should've,would've been a big band with a great debut album in 1990.Things were looking bright BUT then on the 24th Sept '91 a little known Seattle band released 'Nevermind' and that was IT, a whole genre of music was wiped out and I still haven't forgiven Mr. Cobain.BUT thankfully they reformed a few years back and at last I get to see them albeit in a small shitty club but sometimes that's the best way to see certain bands,especially these guys bringing that cool New York Groove to the streets of Camden....loved it..Enjoy,Ed.
You Call My Name...
Another should of been huge bands but for whatever reason they just never really took off.
I remember seeing them back in the 80's and thinking great vocals,
great songs and lot's of good press...America get ready for some British Melodic Rock. BUT, it never happened.
And here we are over 30 years later great vocals,
great songs and happy to play the
UK club circuit every couple of years.
I still enjoyed it but a part of me kept thinking this
has to be a hobby for them as they
will never achieve global success and mefinks they know that...
great night..Enjoy,Ed
or
Gonna Start A Fire...
OK had a little dig in the box of tapes and pulled
this one out.Def Leppard,London 1983.
Not telling me much but after a listen it's from
the Marquee and the live debut of Phil Collen.
Sounds like it was recorded from a vinyl record,
gaps between the songs and Travelin' Band was tune
number six.
Anyway it's all been edited together and it's a decent
audience recording,incomplete of course.
The legend Brian Robertson turns in an appearance as well.
or
The Candle Burns Out Once More...
A good FM radio broadcast of Magnum
playing to an enthusiastic hometown audience in Birmingham.
With a lively performance featuring several classic Magnum songs,
that would feature in the set list for the next 40 years.
Our Fate Is In The Hands Of Fools...
Good audience recording of Irish guitar maestro Gary Moore
on the Run For Cover album tour in France 1985.
Good Rocking performance with
plenty of crunching guitar riffs and solos.
Recorded a few years before Gary turned to the Blues.
The band lineup was
Gary Moore guitar /vocals
Neil Carter Guitar /keyboards / vocals
Bob Daisley bass guitar
Gary Ferguson drums

You Right Me When I'm Wrong...
Couple of excellent radio shows here from Rod & The Faces.
Often cited as a good time band who liked
a drink (and I'm sure they did!).
You can't play this style of music if you're out
of your face.Giving the illusion they're a bit
sloppy when in fact they're very tight musically.
A style of band and music that's pretty rare these days.

My Ears Were Burning...
An excellent sounding audio rip from an
audience recorded DVD
of Status Quo (The Frantic Four) at the
Hammersmith Apollo (Odeon).
On Their reunion tour of 2013 after 31 years apart.
Crank up the sound on this one and
it'll take you right back to the Quo of the 70s.
Plays a 2 track mp3.
Love Can Be Seen As The Answer...
With the Tony Martin Sabbath box set due for release in May,
here's a good BBC soundboard recording of
Sabbath with Tony Martin in 1989.
Featuring Cozy Powell on the drums and
Neil Murray on bass with of course Tony Iommi on guitar.
Recorded during the Headless Cross UK Tour.

Everybody's Swinging,Dancing To The Music...
SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY.So here's the story...I am a bit of a Springsteen fan.But no way am I gonna pay big bucks (£175...seriously) to stand in a field at Hyde Park down the road the night before and after tonight,so I thought I would pop along to the Empire to see his best mate play and hoping the Boss might join him for a jam at some point...and guess what...it didn't happen...BUT by the end of the gig I didn't care because this was so good considering I knew none of the songs it really didn't matter. I just got so into their New Jersey blue collar Blues sound I left the venue with a big smile and a new favourite band...Bruce who??...Enjoy,Ed.
