Where Did I Wander...


 Ozzy at the famous Hammersmith Odeon
in London on his first solo tour.
With that early classic line up 
(well,before the rhythm section got booted).
Those first two albums with Randy...timeless.
Pretty good audience recording here.

Year After Year Out On The Road...

Here's an excellent audience recording
from back in '03.

jam packed with Rockin' goodness!

I'm Gonna Fly Like An Eagle...


 

This one really takes me back in time.
  Some excellent BBC soundboard recordingss of
 Stray a British Blues Rock band in 1973 and 1974.
A band tipped by the weekly music papers ( Sounds,Melody Maker, etc ) 
at the time to be on the verge of bigger things.
Unfortunately as with many of these early 70s bands 
a series of circumstances and bad management 
prevented it from happening.
I saw Stray live four times during this period 
and they were a really great live band. 
Stray led by guitarist Del Bromham 
continue to perform and record  new music to this day. 


A big thanks once again to Steve for sending in the shows.




Baby,You've Got What It Takes...

 

An excellent sounding DVD rip of 
Paul Rodgers on the excellent Now 
album tour from Germany 1996.
Featuring six tracks from the album 
and of course tracks from the 70s. 
A really fine show and performance.

I Got The Operator On The Line...


Next up a show Eddie got in a trade.
Live from Germany back in '84.
Supporting BOC perhaps?
Anyway quality Hard Rock from a very 
talented Canadian,who burst onto
the scene back in the early 80's with 
another very fine debut.
Just seen on YouTube that he's back out there
playing shows.

And We Would Scream Together Songs Unsung...



We're taking a dip back into "Eddie's Archives".
First up a recording he did back in 1982 
and one of the most successful bands of the 80's.
ASIA.
Prog Rockers Turn Melodic and get huge success.
That debut album is,killer!

There's A Firework Show Tonight...


 

Very good sounding audience recording of
Magnum as special guest of Saxon in 2018.
A good set list of more recent 
Magnum songs from the 2000s 
and of course a few classic older tunes.
An excellent concert.






Your Life's Been Set,Prearranged...

 

Good audience recording from Birmingham 1983, 
lively  performance and a great setlist
as the band heads around the UK for the final time 
or so we believed at the time.

(This show I believe was one of the shows 
officially recorded for the Headstone album BUT so far never released)

Your Time Will Come...


 From the Netherlands,Waldrock Festival
back in 2003 it's the Metal legends Iron Maiden.
I looked up some info on this and it seems the first track
is from another show to make it complete.
And it does sound as if it's from another source.
The rest is great sound and a great performance.
Notable for playing Wildest Dreams from Dance Of Death
before it was released a few monthe later.
Metal Rules,Up the Irons!!
Vinyl Rip.

The Gods Look Down In Anger...

 

A soundboard recording of a live show from Edinburgh,
February 1975 on the excellent For Earth Below album tour. 
Then two discs of rehearsals from the Old Vic Church,London in 
September 1974 for the '75 tour.
The rehearsals are mainly long jam instrumentals 
with some really great guitar solos.
 
In a recent interview by drummer Bill Lorden he mentioned some recordings from the Old Vic maybe used for next year's 
50th anniversary release of the For Earth Below album.









Standing In The Shadows...

 

A good audience recording from the legendary 
bass playing vocalist Glenn Hughes.
With a great mix of songs from many periods of his 
long and varied career.
And it seems there's more albums to come with a new 
Black Country Communion album just released 
 and apparently he has  just finished recording his next solo album.

Dream We're Going Out On Stage...


 The fantastic Scorpions from London 1984.
The Love At First sting Tour
and another great album.
Still out there on their farewell tour
and still bringing it from what I'm reading.
Maybe not moving about as much these days
but then,who does?
Excellent audience recording.

or



When He's Happy He Looks Insane...


 Grunge survivors Pearl Jam here.
They've recently released a new album and
are touring the biggest venues at the moment.
But...back in time we go to,1993,or maybe 1994.
Probably '94 as Whippin' is played from the Vitalogy album
No info with this one.Seems to be from a couple 
of different sources but it's a fine listen with
a couple of cracking cover versions as well.

Give Your Mind Some Rock n Roll...

 

A nice soundboard recording of early
Whitesnake in Holland 1978.
Good set Iist with the band just starting to 
find that early bluesy style and mixed with a few old Deep Purple classics.
 Also included are four tracks from 
Manchester also in 1978 with the sound not quite as good.






Was I Wrong To Play Along?...

 

Another vintage one track Quo show from1975.
Sixty-six excellent Rocking minutes as you would 
expect from this period of the Quo. 
With a decent listenable sound.

We'll See The Light Before You Go...



Said to be the last sessions by Steve Marriott 
who along with Peter Frampton were working in 
the studios  in Los Angeles early 1991
 on songs for a possible Humble Pie reunion album.
Here are 12 good sounding tracks from those sessions
Unfortunately the project would end with the 
sad untimely death of Steve Marriott  in April 1991.






Out Of The Neon And Into My Life...

 

Here's a UFO show that was posted on a previous HRC  years ago.
And it's probably one of the best Paul Chapman era bootlegs around.
 An excellent sounding 
FM radio broadcast from the Chicago Amphitheater 13/03/1981 
on The Wild The Willing And The Innocent Tour. 
 It's a lively performance as always in Chicago.

People Don't You Listen Now?...


 For those of you who're in the mood for a full
Led Zeppelin show here's a goodie.
The final night of a three night stand at Earl's Court 1975.
From the Physical Graffiti tour.
A monster album with an iconic cover.
Great sound and a setlist to match on this one.
