And If The Real Thing Don't Do The Trick...

 

I Saw Where Someone was Disappointed in

The Previous Heart 1982 Show Posted!

It was a TV Broadcast, So The Audience

(Canned or Real?) Was There...

I Probably Shoulda Mentioned It Wasn't

The Greatest Soundin' Show...

(Which I Didn't...So, That's On Me!)

So, Anyway, To Make Up For It...

Here's a Much Better Soundin' Heart 1982 Concert!

(Sounds Like a Mix of FM and Soundboards...)

Not Perfect, But Much Better...

Live from The Place They Started - 

Seattle, Washington!

(Says Parker's Rest on Back, But Should be Ballroom!)

It Takes Up The First Disc and Part of the Second...

And the Encore Is Born To Be Wild!

Plus, There's Some Bonus Live from

Nashville and Memphis...

From 1983!

Heart - Seattle 1982 - CD1

Heart - Seattle 1982 - CD2

Freedom in Modern Times...

 

As I May Have Mentioned Before...

Not a Big Fan of Jefferson Airplane

Nor Jefferson Starship...

(Definitely Not Starship!)

BUT, and However (Which Is Just Another But...)

I Did Like Those 2 Records from the Late 70's,

Early 80's:

Freedom At Point Zero... and Modern Times! 

IF You've Never Heard Save Your Love, Where

Craig Chaquico Just Cuts Loose Like He's in

Outlaws or Skynyrd...

Go Listen to It!

Also, The Hilarious Stairway To Cleveland!

Another Must Hear!

They Make Fun of Themselves and Rolling Stone and

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Other Things!

And The Only Song I Know That in the Lyrics Includes

"The Economic Price Index!"

But This Show from 1981 

Is a King Biscuit Show!

A Mix of Songs From Their Past 

Up to Their

Then Present!

I Like This One with Mickey Thomas!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

I Try To Remember, Bring Back Memories...

 

This was a Promo Only Record Issued by

Columbia Records back in 1981...

It was Sent to Radio Stations and Such...

It's a Concert That Loverboy Played in

Dayton, Ohio!

So, It's an Excellent Soundin' Concert!

They were Tourin' in Support of Their

First Album...

Of Course, They were All Over the Radio,

But This Let Folks Know What They Sounded

Like in a Live Setting!

Even IF You Just Like Loverboy a Little Bit,

You Might Wanna Check This One Out!

My Favorite Song from That First Album was

Always On My Mind!

It Brought Back Memories to Me 

From Way Before That

Song was Ever Recorded...

Also, Couldn't Find a Back Cover...

(There Probably Wasn't One Originally...)

So, I Made One!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Armed and Ready in Canada...

UFO Steve Sez:

Excellent sounding MSG show from Toronto 1988

A good mix of the old classics

And some McAuley Schenker tracks

Cover art appears to be from a 

Japanese bootleg DVD release

MSG LIVE '88

I Ain't Kiddin' Ya, We'd Make a Beautiful Cover...

Here's Some More 

Phil X and The Drills!

This Time They're On Stage

 In Front of an Audience!

These are Excellent Soundin' 

Soundboard Recordings!

And I Know At Least One Person

Liked The Other Set I Posted,

'Cause Oldcapellon Said So!

As Mentioned Before...

Phil Has Original Music as well...

One Song is Titled,

"I Wish My Beer Was As Cold As Your Heart."

Anyway, Most of You Folks Will Probably Get

This to Hear The 1st and Last Songs!

That'd Be My Guess!

NOTE: I Don't Know Phil Personally OR

Professionally...

I'm Postin' This Music 'Cause I Like It!

Period.

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Try Not To Wake Up With a Monster...

Cheap Trick Is Always Good!

No Matter The Year!

This One's No Different...

Even IF You're Not a Big Fan of

Their Mid 90's Output...

There's Still Plenty to Like Here!

There's Enough Classics and Others

So's Everyone Can Find Some Songs

That Will Please Them!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

And Don't Forget My Dog...

 

This Is Buster Brown...

Not to be Confused with the

Buster Brown from Australia

That Featured 

Angry Anderson & Phil Rudd...

This is the One from Louisville, Kentucky!

Yep.

And it Featured Johnny Edwards...

Remember Him from Foreigner?

This Is Where He Started...

This was Their 1st Release from 1984...

I've Seen Them Labeled as Glam Rock,

BUT,

They're NOT!

They're Just Straight On Rock N Roll!

Reminds Me of a Bar Band...

Also, The Drummer was Replaced

by James Kottack

Soon After This Record Was Made!

It's a Good Vinyl Rip...

(Never Released on CD...)

But The Original Production Was Not That Great!

But, Hey They Got to Make a Record...

And Here It Is 

All These Years Later!

NOTE: As for the Title of This Post...

Well, Ya Gotta Be Old To Get It...

Hint - It's Not a Music Reference!?! 

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

You'll Never Drill For Oil on a City Street...

 

You Folks Ever Heard of Phil X?

I Hadn't 'Til I Ran Across These Recordings...

But, I Looked Him Up...

His Given Name Is:

Theofilos Xenidis

And He's from Canada..

He Apparently Took Over for

Richie Sambora in Bon Jovi

Some Years Ago...

('Course I Stopped Followin' Bon Jovi after New Jersey!)

Also, Before That, When Rik Left Triumph

Phil and Rick Santers Took His Place...

Plus Phil's a Session Guitarist as well..

His Discography Is Too Extensive to List Here:

Movie Soundtracks, Kelly Clarkson to Alice Cooper!

And Everybody In Between!

Here He Is with His Band 

Phil X and The Drills!

Pretty Much Havin' a Blast in His Studio!

Playin' Some Old Songs, Just for the FUN of It!

These Have Not Been Released...

Although, They DO Have Original Music for Sale!

Like This One:

Which Reminds Me Of This:

See (Hear) What Ya Think of These?

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Excuse Me, While I Kiss The Sky...

Buddy Miles, Again...

With The Man HisOwnBadSelf...

Jimi Hendrix!

Some Demos 

and 

Assorted Recordings!

Produced by Eddie Kramer!

Oh! and Johnny Winter Shows Up as well...

IF It's Somethin' You Can Use...

GROOVY!

 

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

That's What They Say...

 

Outstandin' Jeff Healey Band Concert!

Live in Halifax, Nova Scotia...

From Back in '89...

You All Know 'Bout This

Jeff Healey Fellow, Right?

I Mean He was Kinda Special...

He Played the Guitar in a Unique Way...

(In More Ways Than One!)

Guess I's Talkin' 'Bout How He Would

Sit and Play It Layin' Across His Legs...

(See Front Cover!)

And He Used His Thumb Quite a Bit...

More Than Your Average Guitarist Would...

But The Good Noise These 3 Fellows

Made Was Sometimes Beautiful and Melodic 

and

Other Times Just Blisterin'!

But, You Know All That!

They're Joined by a Couple Guys On One Song...

That Dutch Mason Fellow Was a Big Deal in

Canada, and was from Halifax...

This Dutch Guy was Known as The

"Prime Minister of the Blues"...

And was Given The Title by BB King!

So, Yeah, He Was a Big Deal as well!

Anyway, That's All I Got!

Dig In & Dig It!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Hey, Hey, Hey...

 

UFO Steve Sez:

Back In the day 

about 20-years ago 

I actually bought half a dozen UFO bootlegs 

long before i knew any better

here is one of them 

there are several versions of this around 

this version is one I ripped straight from the CD

the CD label has this as the Birmingham ODEON 

but it's from

Barbarell's Night Club

Birmingham, England

April 20th, 1976

No other info on this at all, a very basic packaging 

A Pretty decent recording with some hiss 

standard set for this tour

Its always good to hear the songs 

from the No Heavy Petting album live

Give Me More

Some Things Ain't Ever Gonna Change...

 

I've Always Liked John Waite...

His Voice and Just His Style...

From All The Way Back 

with 

The Babys...

My Friends' Didn't!

But, I Didn't Care!

IF They Was Ridin' with Me:

My Car, My 8-Track...

So, Shut Up or Walk!

Later, 

He Went Solo...

And There Was Bad English as well...

Here's a 

Nice Audience Recording 

of

John 

in Las Vegas 

Back in 2006...

And He Continues to Make Great Music

Long After The Hits!

Nice Selection of Songs...

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Should Not Have Got on This Flight Tonight...

 

Here's a Unique Kinda 

Nazareth 

Bootleg!

It's Live from Estonia for One...

(Which Is Where, Exactly?)

And The Setlist Is Maybe Not Quite

What You'd Expect (No Mercy...)...

But I Like It For ALL Those Reasons!

It's a Nice Soundboard Recording...

That's All I Got on This One...

The Rest, Well, 

That's Up To YOU!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Monsters In Our Heads and Under Our Beds...

 

I Couldn't Name 1 Song by

Big Head Todd and The Monsters

for 

Ca$h, 

Prizes 

or to 

Save My Life!?!

So Why and How I Ended Up Makin'

This Compilation of Covers...

I Dunno!?!

But, Glad I Did!

It's Really Good and Surprisin'...

I Mean The Range of Songs Here

Is Astoundin' to Say the Least!

From Elvis to James Brown to ZZ Top...

And Everything In Between!

The Songs Are What You Think They Are!

'Cept The Last Song Is John Lee Hooker's

Boom Boom Boom, And NOT

Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights)...

Overall a Great Soundin' Bootleg!

So Dig In...

IF You Dare!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Make A Lotta Noise For The Road Crew...

 

The Movie Soundtrack for ROADIE!

of Ring of Fire!

There's a Little Bit of Everything

On This Soundtrack!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Trouble's Comin' Your Way...

 

Here's a Band That's a Bit of a Conundrum...

TROUBLE is Their Name...

They Formed way back in '79 in Chicago...

Their First Record was Released in 1984...

On Metal Blade Records...

They've Been Labeled as Doom Metal...

Even Called Pioneers and Innovators!

They've Been Labeled as Christian Metal...

Even Called "White Metal"...

They've Been Labeled as Sabbath Copycats...

Even Called "Rip-Offs"...

But, In Reality...

I Personally Think Trouble are

NONE of These Things!

Intrigued?

Listen and Form Your OWN Opinion!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

When Her Number One Son Goes Bad...

Here's YET Another Band 

I Know Next To Nothin' About...

'Cept They ROCK!

Also, I Know The Front Cover IS Wrong...

(Eric Singer was in Another Band by 1992...)

Anyway, Badlands was 

Recorded by the

BBC 

for 

The Friday Rock Show, 

I Reckon...

This Be That!

Again, IT ROCKS!

End Of Story!
