More from my LLANELLI boys this time touring
the excellent new album
'Where The Colours Meet'...
Jeez I want these guys to make it so badly it hurts and
not because they're from my home town
BUT because they are so feckin' good.
Enjoy,Ed.

Oh Don't Lean On Me Man...
And now for someting a bit different.Every once in a while a band comes along and knocks me for six and this is one of those bands...Not my usual Rock/Metal but more like THE JAM from the early days when Weller was hungry.I first caught them live back in '22,3rd on the bill at a small club and have seen them 14 times since and each time they just get better.For a 3 piece they have so much energy and stage craft and their following is growing along with venue size...Having just signed a deal and with their first single coming out at the end of March I see them having a big future...So if you like some MOD Rock with Punk attitude give them a listen and watch this space...Enjoy,Ed.

Like She's Never Danced Before...
Power Metal a genre I am getting more into these days
having never really bothered with it over the years.
These guys are from Greece and feature the talented 'GUS G' on guitar
or more commonly known as 'Konstantinos Karamitroudis'
ha ha...90 mins of in yer face
Metal and another packed crowd loved every minute of it.Enjoy,Ed.

Twisted Steel,Twisted Mess Sealed The Deal...
Here is Budgie playing live at the Roxy Theatre,

Anywhere I Go,She's There At The Show...
From the Built To Destroy Tour.
Here's MSG on the UK leg of the tour stopping off
in Sheffield back in 1983.
Pretty good audience recording I ripped from a
tape with no info except the year/city.
Hopefully the setlist is correct,are there any songs missing?
Who knows!
Wait,I do know somebody who'll know...

Nothing Would Change At All...
Another Radio Broadcast this time from Magnum,
London 1980.At the time of the release
of their Magnum II album.
Pomp Rock,Melodic Rock call it what you want
but a very good band.They're out there for a final tour as a tribute
to Tony Clarkin I believe.
A fitting tribute to a fine career.
or
Knocks 'em Dead...
Cool little Radio Broadcast from the Red Rocker
back in '77.
He was involved with one of the best
debut albums of all time with Montrose.
To,it has to be said,a pretty patchy solo career.
I really rate and enjoy Standing Hampton & I Never Said Goodbye,
as the stand outs for me.
Not forgetting his classic live album,All Night Long.
To fronting Van Halen after DLR left.
And he's still out there doing it,hats off!!

And Every Night I Feel That I'm A Winner...
The end of an era UFO's last concert in the UK after 50 years.
Unfortunately it was to be Paul Raymond's
last ever performance as he sadly passed away a few days later.
Good setlist with a variety of songs from different eras of the band.
The first half of Rock Bottom is missing
otherwise it's an excellent sounding show and performance.
Ride The Rainbow,Crack The Sky...
Listed as The Definitive Nagoya 1975.
It's a fairly decent sounding show by
Deep Purple mark 4.
From their last Japanese tour
until the mark 2 reunion in the mid 80s.
Good set list with plenty of tracks from the excellent
Come Taste The Band album and
long jams as you would expect.

Saying Everything Is Groovy...
A compilation of live in the studio tracks recorded at the
BBC by the legendary British Blues Rock Band of the 60s.
Featuring of course Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood.

Ready For History's Pages...
Good sounding DVD audio of Motorhead on the 1991 Tour of Germany
promoting the1916 album.
Featuring Phil Campbell and Wurzel on guitars.
Lemmy on the bass and vocals,
with Phil Taylor on drums.
I'm Coming Through...
Here is another one from Michael Schenker's, My Years In UFO 2025 Tour.
This time in London with new vocalist Erik Gronwall.
Similar set to previous post with a slightly better sound and split tracks.
Good lively performance with Michael in fine form.
I Should've Walked Away...
Tonight was one of those gigs I was unsure about as it was being advertised as "an acoustic evening" which normally sends alarm bells in my head zzzzz.But quelle suprise I really enjoyed it with enough electric guitar to keep me happy.I have always liked them with 'broadcast' being one of my favourite Soft Rock albums from the 80's and as expected they played their HIT song as well as a great selection of new and well chosen covers.Glad I popped along...Enjoy,Ed.

A Storm Is Brewing...
Now I did not expect this...For 50 mins I was transported back to the 80's.
Hair Metal at it's best with screaming vocals,lightning fast guitar playing,
every song with heavy riffs and a huge chorus
and even a bass player spitting blood
in a new venue not to disimilar to the old Wardour Street Marquee Club.
Tonight was one of those special gig nights we've all had
at some point when you leave totally
buzzing and in my case feeling YOUNG...Enjoy,Ed.
