I Strut Right By With My Tail In The Air...
Fantastic little show here from those
Rockabilly rebels,Stray Cats.
Relocated to the UK they recorded their first couple of albums here.
Had a couple of hit singles too.
Anyway these three guys make a great sound.
Replicating the classic early Rock 'n' Roll,Rockabilly sound.
But of course putting their own twist on it.
Classic.
Take Me To The Top...
I loved early Crüe,they looked great had fun songs
and were entertaining.
Here they are on the Too Fast For Love Tour
back in '82.
They sound great on this Radio broadcast.
And it's back when Vince used to sing songs
all the way through.
The song Hotter than Hell would eventually turn up
renamed Louder Than Hell on the Theatre Of Pain album.
Good Times!
Vinyl Rip.
To Chase A Feather In The Wind...
Partial show from one of Zep's last concerts.
I think they sound like they're on it here.
Page's guitar work on Since I've Been Loving You
is always spectacular.
Special mention to the one who probably keeps
it all together,John Paul Jones.
Good sound on this and a
thumbs up from me!
Tape Rip.
Never Blew A Second Chance,Oh No...
Out touring his second solo album.
Has there been anybody who's
been cooler or written more classics
than that cat Keith?
Radio Broadcast.
From Boston '93.
Over The Mountains And The Seas...
There's lighting coming from his fingers
as he speeds across the fretboard!
Yeah it's Gary from '87.
And a cool little Radio Broadcast.
He stretches a few of the songs here and
shows us his full range of playing.
Evil Or Divine?...
The Voice Of Metal it's Ronnie James & his band.
With a fine show from the Super Rock Festival
back in '85.
There was a festival in 1984 as well.
They pretty much featured most of the top
Metal & Heavy Rock bands of the time.
Great time to be a Metalhead!
We Are The Sultans...
OK not a band I had much interest in.I was
pretty much only into Heavy Rock/Metal when I was growing up.
But! as you grow up a bit (I'm still growing)
quality will out.
What a fantastic guitarist Knopfler is.
Plus they backed it up with quality songs.
You forget how successful they were.
Absolutely massive.
This show is fantastic in sound and performance.
Done Dirt Cheap...
The Hard Rock Boogie Legends on
The Flick Of The Switch Tour.
From Detroit 1983.
Easily my second favourite album from the
Johnson era.
Massive riffs,raw production and a good
selection of songs.
Brainshake!!
We All Need A Break...
Cheap Trick on MTV.
Playing in front of Spring Breakersback in '89..
Nope I don't know about Spring Break it
means nothing over here.
I very much doubt if the Trick have played a bad show.
Cos here's another goodie.
Good to hear a couple of tunes from Lap Of Luxury.
Which produced a big hit for them with The Flame.
They Want You To Want Them!!
Hello There,Ladies & Gentlemen...
Here's Cheap Trick gracing the Reading Festival.
Pretty much slap bang in their glory era.
Heaven Tonight,At Budokan and the still to be released
Dream Police.Power Pop at it's finest.
Not much crowd captured on this recording
but by all accounts they went down very well.
I Love You Honey...
Perennial British Melodic Rockers FM here.
Great show in front of a pretty raucous crowd.
A band that should've been more successful.
They're pretty slick but nothing wrong
with playing and singing well.
Includes a fun version of Rod's Hot Legs.
I Have Used Up All My Weapons...
Here's a cool one from Blue Oyster Cult
back in 1981 from NYC.
The album at the time,Fire Of Unknown Origin.
I assume it's a radio broadcast.
It's another of those boots where the songs fade at
the end.But no (if any) music is lost.
Some good songs included,Veteran Of The Psychic Wars
being a favourite of mine.
Enjoy!!
The Awful Pain,The Crimson Rain...
That noisy mob Motorhead,
live in Japan from June '82.
It's the short live version with Brian "Robbo" Robertson
wailing away on guitar.
It's a pity that line up didn't last longer
I thought they did some good stuff together.
Very good audience recording.
Vinyl Rip.
All Hear My Warning...
Very good audience recording of Metal legends,
Judas Priest.Fronted at this time by Ripper Owens.
The Metal God was off doing his own thing.
This is from Belgium back in 2001 and you get
additional tracks from another show as well.
Ripper is fronting KK Downing's new band
and they've just released their first track on YouTube etc.
What Ya Gonna Do?...Rock You!!...
Some Canadian Metal from back in the 80's.
This is from a Much Music broadcast
so the quality is really good.
Anthemic Rock & Tear Jerkin' Ballads is what you're
gonna get here.
I saw these guys back in 1983 supporting KISS.
What I took away from it was,wow,these
guys put on a really energetic show.
Still a going concern as far as I know.
I Know A Candy Man...
Classic Rock from the '70's with Humble Pie.
Featuring one of the best frontmen ever in
Steve Marriott (A favourite of Paul Stanley).
It's intense,he's giving 100% and they're not afraid
to stretch those songs out.
Not in a boring way either.
They've got their groove on!
They All Come Out To Groove About...
BBC Radio Documentary.
Phil Daniels narrates the story of the Small Faces.
Interviews and music.
Two 30 minute episodes.
On The Edge Of Time...
Great show from the legendary Dio.
On their first tour.
Exciting times.
This one is from The Netherlands.
With a setlist that's hard to beat,
it's Heavy Metal Heaven.

I'm The One Who Can Feel The Sun...
A soundboard recording by the voice of Foreigner live in New York 1987.
It's an excellent one track mp3 file featuring tracks
from his two very good 1980s solo albums.
Where The Skies Are So Blue...
Two classic Skynyrd live recordings in Tokyo 1977.
It's simply Southern Rock at it's best.
But You Can't Come in...
Here's a cool Rock n Roll show from 1990.
Billed as the Dave Edmunds Rock n Roll Revue.
Also featuring Kim Wilson,Dion & Graham Parker.
Very Talented was Dave,musician,writer,producer etc.
Some of his production credits include:
Stray Cats,Paul McCartney & Status Quo.
Now retired from the music biz.
Plenty of info in the download.
Blondes Have More Fun...
(Here's one sent in by Rick so once again
I've hijacked an old post with a new link.)
One of the biggest bands to come out of that
New York,New Wave/Punk Scene.
Blondie.
They were never off the TV or Radio when I was growing up.
They seemed to have hit after hit.
A fine band with one of the coolest frontwomen ever.
From London,1980.
