The Axeman Cometh!!

 Barden out,Bonnet in,Bonnet out and Barden in.

I think that's how it went.Phew!!

MSG on the Assault Attack Tour.

From Manchester,England.

An album recorded with Graham Bonnet but 

as you all know he didn't last too long.

A good audience recording supplied once again 

from what is known as "Eddie's Stash".

Thanks Ed.

Schenker,a guitar maestro you hear every note he plays

whether he plays fast or slow.

Very clean.

Anyway I'm making this my last post of 2020.

Lots more to come in 2021.

To everybody who enjoys the site.

Happy New Year and see you on the other side.

Circles and Rings, Dragons And Kings...

More from the Dio fronted Sabbath.

Recorded at the Orpheum,Boston.

9th August 1992.

Great incomplete show and they're also 

sounding suitably Heavy!

This was a bit of a comeback with Dio after

the falling out over the Live Evil album.

Down Comes The Night...

 Fleetwood Mac one of the biggest bands ever.

They managed to make the classic Rumours

while they were a totally disfunctional,drugged up group.

Here they are live in '77.

Great setlist as well.

Sound's in and out a little bit but overall a good listen.

Lindsey Buckinham,great guitarist with that 

finger picking style of his.

Another of my underappreciated players.

Take These Chains From My Heart...

 

Here's The ORIGINAL Dokken album Breakin' The Chains!

It was Originally Released in 1981 under Don Dokken's Name...

(There were Only like 500 Released That Way!)

And Then Just as Dokken...

Later, Parts Were Re-Mixed and Re-Recorded, 

Even Song Titles Changed, Etc. 

and Released As I First Knew It in 1983...

This Version Has Paris (The Studio Version) 

as Opposed to the Live Version Titled Paris Is Burning...

Plus, Peter Baltes of Accept Played Bass 

on Some of This Version 

and Bobby Blotzer of Ratt Played Drums 

On Some as well...

You'll Also Notice Misspellings 

on Some Song Titles From the Original Back Cover...

You Can Read More About All This,

I Wanna Dial Long-Distance...

 Here's our little Canadian friend Aldo Nova from 

1991.Touring his Blood On The Bricks album.

His first release in six years and he plays a 

few songs from it.

A very enjoyable Radio Broadcast.

http://www.filefactory.com/file/2gukqp3outt8/AN91.zip

Smokin' Ain't Allowed In School...

 Another of Eddie's recordings here.

Motley Crue on the Theater Of Pain Tour.

Their weakest album?There's some clunkers

on there for sure.

But,it did produce the big ballad hit

Home Sweet Home.

The show is from the Playhouse,Edinburgh,Scotland. 

A place I saw a few bands at.

Probably the biggest band to come out of that 

whole L.A. scene back in the 80's.

It's a good recording and a fine performance from the Crue.

And the audience are right into it!

 http://www.filefactory.com/file/q0ed1dsa4cg/MCEdinburgh.zip

Come Susie Dear, Let's Take A Walk...

 Excellent audience recording.

Here's BOC back in '96 with a long and varied setlist.

A lot of good songs in there.

They didn't have an album out but they were touting

Workshop Of The Telescopes during the show.

A double disc compilation.

http://www.filefactory.com/file/5he8bzacna8e/BOC96.zip

 

Tear The Roof Off The Sucker...

 The other Canadian three piece but the one

that's more straight ahead Hard Rock.

Triumph.

On the Allied Forces Tour.

(Album gets two thumbs up from me)

A great sounding Radio Broadcast.

Capturing the goodness that was early 80's Rock.

Fight The Good Fight,People!

http://www.filefactory.com/file/7kz912c0yam0/Triumph81.zip

I See You Play Imaginary Guitars...

 Scorpions on their 1982 UK Tour.

In support of the fantastic Blackout album.

Here's a good audience recording,that's enjoyable

but probably not as enjoyable as being there.

The Scorps on the up and the crowd responding to it. 

This one came from Eddie but he got it in a trade.

It's all good cos we get to hear it!!

http://www.filefactory.com/file/3c2meyn3f2pm/Leicester82.zip

No You Don't - Have To Be So Bloody Cool...

 Another that came from Eddie.

Turning into a right HRC favourite we have Pat 

& hubby Neil Rockin' London back in 1983.

It's a good audience recording in front of an

enthusiastic crowd.

Had to do a couple of tweaks here and there.

As you'll see from the tracklist a couple of songs are cut.

The limitations of tape.

Thanks Ed!

I'm Living In A Room Without Any View...

 We all know this one,Sabbath in New Jersey 1975.

A King Biscuit Broadcast.

Just before the release of Sabotage.

Here's another release from 2018 on the

King Street label.

What a killer setlist!

Silver cd Rip.

Small Town Predicts My Fate...

Hopefully everybody's recovered from being

fed and watered over the Festive Period.

Let's Rock!

 Very good incomplete audience recording from 

Pearl Jam on the Vs Tour.

Did a little digging on this.

Seems it's from The Ahoy,Rotterdam July 19 1993.

Not as the back cover states from Seattle.

Vs,great album and a good follow up to the debut.

Whatever,enjoy.

Silver cd Rip.
