Here's an Excellent Golden Earring King Biscuit Flower Hour Show from Detroit's Famed Cobo Arena (Hall) from 1974!
To the casual Listener of Golden Earring, Several of the songs performed here will be Unfamiliar to You...Many Folks just Know Radar Love & Twilight Zone, as those were their 2 biggest Hits here in the States!
But in The Netherlands and in Europe - They have been much more successful!
Golden Earring is one of My Favorite Bands, Along with Deep Purple (Blackmore Eras) Blue Öyster Cult, Cheap Trick, Etc.
NOTE: to make the Umlaut Sign (the Two Dots) over the Capitol "O" - All You Have to Do Is: Press & Hold the ALT Key and Type 0214 on the Number Pad Then Release The Alt Key...
I have Many Golden Earring Live Recordings to Post, But I Figured I'd Start with the Earliest, Best Soundin' One! (Meaning I have some Earlier Ones, But the Sound Quality Is Not As Good!)
ANOTHER NOTE: Golden Earring IS One of the Longest Runnin' Bands Ever! They were formed in 1961 (YES! I said 1961!) and released their 1st Single and Album Way Back in 1965 as The Golden Earrings! Their Current Line-Up have (In One Form Or Another) been together since 1970!
Even IF You just Check it out for Radar Love, That's Fine!
Hopefully, You'll like Some of the Other Songs as Well!

Train Kept-A-Rollin' All Night Long...
Well, It's Friday Once Again! (Although it's the Wee Hours here...). Not sure Why We say Wee hours? (Well, Went and looked it up... Wee Hours are the first few hours after midnight; ie. from 1 - 4 A.M. Wee means small, so small hours - Lord, That's enough of that!)
Can't Sleep, Again, So Figured I'd Post This...
This just happens to be one of My All-Time Favorite Aerosmith Live Bootlegs!
It's got the Classic Line-Up, The Songs and The Sound Quality ALL Goin' for it! It's like a companion piece to the Official Aerosmith Live Bootleg!
17 songs in under 80 minutes of that Classic Aerosmith Sound!
Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

BABY(S), You Can Drive My Car...
Here's an Excellent King Biscuit Flower Hour Radio Broadcast from John Waite's 1st Solo Tour for the Ignition album!
It includes songs from that first record, Plus a Couple of The Babys songs and 2 Beatles Covers...
I Love the song Change from that record!
Now, I Know Everyone says it's Patty Smyth of the band Scandal (Remember the song The Warrior?) singin' on the Studio Version, But the First Time I Heard It - I Heard Pat Benatar!
John & Pat were both on Chrysalis Records at the time and Neil Giraldo Produced Ignition and Played Some Guitar on It...
So, You Do The Math!
Anyway, This Is a Great Concert Performance!

Dry Your Eyes,Mate...
A Trick and a Treat...
The Treat mentioned in the Title of this Post is when Dave Edmunds shows up and Joins them On Stage for a Couple Rockin' Chuck Berry Numbers: Let It Rock and Promised Land!
I saw Cheap Trick in 1979, although Not in Liverpool, But in Columbia, South Carolina at The Township Auditorium (Which was an Excellent Place for Concerts!). The Township was an Old 3,500 Seater Built in 1930 (Many of these type of Theaters were built during the Great Depression) as compared to the 20,000 seat Carolina Coliseum just down the road...
They musta booked it way in advance, 'cause CT was Very Popular in 1979 and Coulda filled the Coliseum! Anyway, It was General Admission - So We got Good Seats...And We also got to Watch a Glass Door Fly Off its hinges Inward and Land in the Lobby! Where as You can Guess - It Shattered into a Million Pieces! 'Cause people were Pushin' from Behind, Tryin' to Get In!
Back to This Boot, It's Unique, in that Dave's On It!
It's also a Nice Radio Broadcast as well!
I could go on, But Well, You Know the Rest...
If You're a Trick Fan and Don't Already Have It;
Then Wait No Longer!
Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Just Another Band Out Of BOSTON...
It's an Excellent Soundboard Recording from The Spectrum in Philly, with pretty much the same setlist as the other concerts from this same time period...
But, Can You Have Too Many Live Concerts by the Same Band?
Apparently, You Can!
Well, according to my wife: Mrs. Rocket.
She didn't really understand my obsession hobby of collectin' live shows until about 2000, even though we'd been married for almost 20 years...(But, well the Internet wasn't around for regular folks durin' a big chunk of that time)...back then.
She likes Bob Seger, so she has Live Bullet. Ditto, Frampton Comes Alive!
One Saturday, we were shoppin' at one of the marts (Can't remember if started with a K or a W) and passed the CD section...I picked up a Pearl Jam Official Bootleg. She said, "Didn't you already buy one of those?"
"Yep," I said. I started to tell her that it was a different city and not quite the same setlist, etc. but knew she wouldn't get it.
So, instead, I asked, "How many ears do I have?"
She looked at me funny and said, "two."
Then I asked, "How many feet do you have?" Again, she said two.
I paused, then asked, "And how many pairs of shoes do you have?"
She said, "I'll be up near the front, come find me when you're ready."
From that day forward she never questioned my musical hobby and even bought me some of those PJ Bootlegs and other Bootleg Box Sets for Christmas over the years!
Anyway, IF You're a Boston fan - You Need This One TOO!
Enjoy and Play It LOUD!
