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.

MEGA

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!!

MEGA

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.

MEGA

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.

MEGA

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!

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 simply Southern Rock at it's best.

(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.

Blame It On The Boogie...

 The original three chord wonders Status Quo

back together for another go around.

Never meaning much in the U.S. but an institution 

in the U.K. and everywhere else.

they were hot.

Unfortunately two of the originals have

passed on.

Excellent audience recording.

Liar,Liar,Liar...

 Sex Pistols Live.

An Observation

Just a quick note about the site and the number of visitors
we usually get.On a good day it's usually 1000+.

But over the past week or so it's been much higher than that.

Today so far it's up to 12,000+ already.

The last few days has seen numbers of 6-7 and up to 10,000 visitors.

Very strange,either somebody is putting our name out there

or the counter's broken!

I guess the moral of the story is the less you post

the more visits to the site!!

Anyway...Enjoy.

Sword And Shield,Bone And Steel...

 Back to some Metal and who better to get you 

groovin' than Motorhead?

This is a must have if you're a fan.

Great sound and a good selection of tunes.

Tracks 1 - 8 Irvine Meadows,California.

Tracks 9 - 16 Kaatshevuel,Netherlands.

MEGA

Her Hair Is Kinda Wild And Free...

More of that 60s - 70s Rock from
