of a Reunion Show of Mott The Hoople...

You Go to The Show...

It's Recorded, Mixed, and Ready 

Soon After The Concert...

It's Now Out of Print!

And Here For You...

IF You Wanna Give It A Listen...

(I Filled In The Setlist...)

(Hope It's Correct!?!)

It Wasn't...

But Thanks to Derek

For The Correct Title Sequence

And, The New Back Cover!

Mott09-CD1

Mott09-CD2

Stop! Hold On, Stay in Control...

Another Kinks Koncert from the 80's...

Live from St. Louis in 1988...

A Good FM Broadcast...

There Were Some Good Songs, 

And, Some Not So Good Songs...

BUT, Hopefully It Brought Attention To A Band

That Had Been Around For a Long Time,

And, Just Maybe, Those Folks Took a Look Back

at Some 60's & 70's Kinks Music!

TheKinks-St.Louis88-CD1

TheKinks-St.Louis88-CD2

Yes, Your Vaudeville Carries On...

 

UFO Steve Sez:

The Strangers in the Night world tour continues 

with Paul Chapman on guitar throughout 1979

 the only year 

UFO never released an album of new material 

between 1974 and 83 

A good sounding show and Performance 

with only Electric Phase 

being added to the tour setlist 

that wasn't on the Strangers album.

D/L HERE

Roll With The Changes...

Another Excellent REO Speedwagon Concert!

They Were Tourin' an Album I Did Not Buy...

(I Had Already Drawn The Line By Then...)

Life As We Know It...

There's Only One Song from That Record Here...

(The First One Performed...)

The Rest Are REO As I Knew Them!

Great Westwood One Radio Broadcast Sound...

And The Awesome Guitar of One Mr. Gary Richrath!

He Would Leave the Band in 1989...

And, He Left This World in 2015...

But, He Left Us With Some Stellar Songs!

Grab You Some!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Congratulations I'm Sorry...

 

Here's Some Good Summer Time Music for You Folks!

Gin Blossoms Tourin' Their 2nd Full Length CD,

Congratulations I'm Sorry!

It was Named That 'Cause 

The Band were Sellin' Records,

Tourin', 

Hearin' Their Songs on the Radio, Etc.

At The Same Time They Were Dealin' with 

What Happened to Doug Hopkins...

As Charles Dickens Once Wrote:

It Was The Best Of Times, 

It Was The Worst Of Times...

But, Those First 2 CDs Were Great Music...

And So Were Their Concerts...

As Evidenced Here...

(Or There - In Toronto in 1996!)

Gin Blossoms Would Disband After This Tour

But Re-Form in 2001...

But We Have This Great FM Recording From Back Then!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

We Were Listenin' to Deep Purple On The Radio...

 

Another Hammersmith Show From Another British Band!

Saxon Bringin' The Heavy Metal Thunder!

I've Listed It As an Audience Recording...

Although It Sure Sounds Close to a FM Show!?!

So, I'm Sayin' It's an Awesome Audience Recording!

And, DAMN! What a Setlist!

I Remember Buyin' the First Few Saxon Records

as Imports Here in the States!

Dallas 1 PM Has the Pre-Recorded Middle from

The Kennedy Assassination News Reporting... 

(At One Point, They Stopped Usin' It?)

And There's Hungry Years and Much More...

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

2 Hot 2 Handle...

 

UFO Steve Sez:

UFO 2 nights in Chicago:

UFO two consecutive nights at 

The Old Vic Theatre Chicago 

24th and 25th August 1995 

As always 

UFO live in Chicago 

are in great form 

just sit back and close your eyes 

and it sounds like 1978.

August 24th

August 25th

Watchin' the Full Moon Crossin' the Range...

Here's REO Speedwagon Rollin' with The Changes...

'Cause Changin' They A Were...

This Show comes from the Time Period

Between Their 70's Rock & Roll and 

Their 80's Radio-Friendlier Music...

Notice How Nice I Put That...

Makin' Up a New Word in the Process...

Hyphenated, at that...

Those Songs That Would Become BIG HITS

are a Bit More Heavy Here In Concert...

This Was the Summer Before THAT Album

Would Be Released and Beat To Death!

Gary Richrath Was Still In The Band At This Point...

And, He Wrote Some of Those Songs Like

In Your Letter, Take It On The Run, Etc.

NOTE: There's a Disc 2 With The 30th Ann. CD

That Is All Demos...I May Have to Try and Look Those Up?

With This Show You Get The Best of Both Worlds...

REO Go Back as far as Golden Country from 1970,

To The Not Yet Released Keep On Loving You!

And There's That Turkey Music I Never

Get Tired of Hearin'

Reo-AlpineValley80-CD1

Reo-AlpineValley80-CD2

No One Had Money and The Girls Got So Uptight...

 

This Is April Wine - Live In London!

The Audio was taken from the DVD...

It was Originally a VHS Release Back When...

(I Remember Watchin' It a Long Time Ago!)

Also, It Had The Band Ridin' a Double Decker Bus

Through London, Checkin' out the Sights...

ALL That Has Been Removed...

And the ONLY Real Hard Cut 

from one Song to the Next is One More Time...

(It Starts Out With The First Verse...)

I Made a New Back Cover,

'Cause Well...

Apparently, Whoever Made the Original,

Knew Nothin' 'Bout the Band 

or the Names

of Some of Their Songs...

(See Bad Toys as an Example...)

Other Than All That...

It's a Great Soundin' April Wine Concert!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

In The Light...

 

Here's a Curious Little Item from Long Ago...

Honeymoon Suite, Again...

It's an old EP with 

an Extended Mix of In The Light...

But, Most of You Will Want It for

the Then Unreleased Live Tracks!

A Great Live Version of New Girl Now!

" Hot Summer Night..."

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

ANGELs I Have Heard On (the) High (Seas)...

 

Excellent Audience Recording of ANGEL!

Apparently, It was some kinda Rock Music Cruise...

(All I Ever See Advertised on TV is the Disco Ones!?!)

But Anyway, 

Angel Play Some Songs 

from the Risen CD 

as well as Their Classics!

(And The Artwork Is Fantastic!)

Everything You Need to Know is On The Covers!

Angel - FL 2020 - CD1

Angel - FL 2020 - CD2

Is It Hot In Here...OR?

 

Is Farrenheit Really Burnin' Up The Worcester Centrum!!!

I Mean - DAMN!

I Never Expected THIS!

I Listened to Their Debut CD and

It Was Well Played Pop/Rock...

A Nice Tuneful Record!

But THIS, Them LIVE!

DAMN!

This Is a Whole Other Thing!

They Were The Opening Act For 

Just Another Band Out of Boston

This Particular August Night in 1987...

Ironic That It's Just The Three of Them on Stage...

This, My Friends, Is Just Kick-Ass Rock N Roll!

Farrenheit Left The Stage Smokin'

(And I'm Not Jokin'...)

You Folks Pickin' Up ALL The Hints I Been Droppin'?

IF You Listened to Their 1st Record...

Then You're Gonna Dig This!

IF You Passed on That Record...

DO NOT PASS ON THIS!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Turn It Up...Louder & Louder!

 

UFO Steve Sez:

Waysted 

Save Your Prayers demos 

The Paul Chapman Tapes

 Apparently the story goes 

Chapman wanted the finished album to sound 

more like these demos 

with the guitar higher in the mix 

and a less polished sound

 so these are the demo versions 

with a couple of tracks that didn't make the album

NOTE: I Usually Don't Like To Interfere in UFO Steve's Posts in Any Way...
BUT, I Have To Say - You NEED To Hear The Guitars on THIS ONE!

D/L HERE

It's Boogie Time...For Everyone!

 

Oh, Now Here's One You NEED!

FOGHAT, Live at The Agora Ballroom...

A WMMS Coffee Break Concert...

In Cleveland from 1984...

Excellent Sound Quality & Performance!

A Great Setlist...

I Particularly Like My Babe and Honey Hush,

BUT, There's NOT a Bad One among the Bunch!

Even Wide Boy Sounds Great!

The Band and Those in Attendance

Are ALL Havin' a Blast!

Another One of Those Concerts That Makes

You Remember Why You Liked Them in

The First Place and Reminds You That

You Haven't Listened to Them in Way Too Long!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Drivin' Home in a Downpour...

 

This Concludes Our New England journey, Today, Kids!

With NEW ENGLAND!

A Band That Had a Big Hit with 

Don't Ever Wanna Lose Ya...

(Their 1st record was Produced by Paul Stanley...)

Here They are in a Short, 

But Great Soundin' Concert!

They Had Some 

Catchy Pop/Rock Songs 

as well...

Hope You've Enjoyed Your Time Here Today...

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

D/L HERE

Lord Almighty, I Feel My Temperature Risin'...

Here's Another Boston-Based Band: 

Farrenheit!

(Suggested by Tidesworthy...A Frequent Commenter!)

The Band was Formed by 

Charlie Farren and David Hull (Heit)...

(And Muzz on Drums!)

Get Out Yer Joe Perry Project albums...

Look at I've Got The Rock and Rolls Again...

You'll See Charlie & David's Names All Over It...

Two Songs Were From Charlie's Previous Band: 

Balloon!

Anyway, This was Their First Release from 1987...

Originally on Warner Bros., then Re-Issued

by Wounded Bird in 2010...

(It's Out of Print Again...)

It's Full of Catchy Pop/Rock Songs...

It was Produced by Keith Olsen (R.I.P. 2020)

A Name Familiar to 

Benatar, Foreigner, Journey, 

Heart, Etc. Fans!

NOTE: Notice Their Name is a Play on Words of

the Temperature Scale: Fahrenheit...

Well, It's Supposed to be 86 F Here Today...

To Convert to Celsius:

(86-32) = 54 x 5/9 = 6 x 5 = 30 C

No Wonder ONLY 5 Countries Around the World Use Fahrenheit!#!

Wonder What Farrenheit Sound Like Live?

Stayed Tuned to HRC for Another Thrillin'

Episode of "Meet The Farrenheits"...

But Right Now,

 We Got To Get a Move On...

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Welcöme tö Nöise Jersey...

 

Today, We're Gonna Take a Little Trip to New England...

(No Maps, GPS Needed...)

Nothin' But Music on Our Minds!

First Up, From Old England...

It's Motörhead!

Live in New Jersey from 1984...

There's Good News, and 'Course 

That's Always Followed

With Bad News...

The Bad News IS:

The First and Last Songs are Incomplete!

The Good News IS:

Wendy O. Williams Joins The Boys on No Class!

More Good News:

IF'n You Can Stand Some Live Plasmatics...

You Can Take a Detour Over to Voodoo Wagon!

(Say Howdy to Jobe!)

Anyhow, It's Motörhead 

and 

They Play Rock N Roll!

Enjoy and Play It SO LOUD!

D/L HERE

Oh, Suzi Q...

 

This Is an Excellent Recording of Suzi Quatro!

Doin' Her Thang!

The Sound Quality is Soundboard Or Pre-FM...

It's One of The BEST Soundin' of These Kinda

Live In The Studio Shindigs I've EVER HEARD!

So Crystal Clear...

(You Could Literally Hear a Pin or Pen Drop Between Songs!)

And Suzi Makes The Most of It!

All Shook Up and Shakin' All Over are Great Rockin' Covers!

But, It's the Song You Can Make Me Want You,

But You Can't Make Me Love You 

That's a Real Stand Out Here!

You NEED To Hear This One!

Seriously!

Shame, She Will Probably Be Best Remembered as

Leather Tuscadero on the TV Show Happy Days!

(At Least, in The United States Anyway...)

IF You've NEVER Heard Suzi Q. - 

This Is a Great Place to Start!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

You Couldn't Change Me If You Wanted...

 

One More Live Show from American Minor!

Live at First Avenue in Minneapolis...

Back in 2006!

It's an Audience Recording, 

But Another Good One!

And, 'Course The Band's on Fire!

The Setlist is Somewhat Different Than the 

Other Shows Already Posted!

A Few Unreleased Songs as well...

This Band Shoulda Had More Time to

Make & Release More Music...

They Had The Songs and The Sound!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Gettin' Wild with Johanna...

Johanna Wild was a Boston Band in the 70's...

Jon Butcher Played was a Member...

They were a Good Band with a Rockin' Sound!

Don't Let The Audience Recording Tag 

Scare You Off of This One...

Else You'll Miss Out on 

Some Scorchin' Guitar Playin'

and some Great 

Original and Cover Songs!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

You've Been a Misfit All Your Life...

Nice Soundboard Recording of The Kinks!

A Little Further Down The Road...

Up Into the 80's...

Come Dancing was Big, 

With the Help

of the MTV Video...

This Show from Chicago in 1987

Has a Pretty Varied Setlist That Covers

A Lot of Ground...

A Little Bit of Somethin' For Everyone!

Give'n The People What They Want!

TheKinks-Chicago87-CD1

TheKinks-Chicago87-CD2

A Snapshot In Time...

 

Here's the Follow-Up to 1987's Wishes...

Pictures From The Front is a Continuation 

of What Jon Started There...

Yep. You NEED This ONE Two!

It Starts Out With I'm Only Dreaming,

a Cool Rocker with Great Lyrics!

NOTE: Somethin' 'Bout Me IS: I Don't Dream!

Yeah, I Know They Say Everyone Does,

They Just Don't Remember...

Well, THEY Are Wrong!

Division Street Is Probably My Favorite Song...

It's a Gritty Rocker That Sounds Like It Coulda

Been Written This Year...

On Come And Get It Jon Shows Off Some

Hot Guitar Licks!

Another Solid Effort by Jon...

'Course I Like ALL His Records,

Axis or No...

The Man Is Just One Talented Musician!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!
