I Grabbed My Hat And I Got My Coat...

 Alice on the comeback.

Halloween 1986.

After his pretty experimental albums of the early 80's.

He returned with a straight ahead Hard Rock album.

Touring and releasing albums since then

at a steady rate.

Only stopping to play a few rounds of golf no doubt.

We get a couple of songs from the new record

and the rest of the set is stone cold classic 

Alice!

 Back into Eddie's bag of (Cheap) Tricks HaHa!

We're not finished with those 80's recordings,not by 

a long shot.

very well with the Scottish audience.

Another enjoyable recording.

Ain't It A Shame...

 Classic AC/DC on the Highway To Hell Tour.

From the legendary Hammersmith Odeon,London.

Unfortunately this was Bon's last tour.

I guess when you can't say no something's going to give?

The band are on fire and just about to break massive.

But with another album and singer.

Before joining UFO in late 1976.

 Pink Floyd after Roger Waters wasn't supposed to survive.

We Got The Whole Damn Night To Go...

 Just to get it out of the way,I'm a big fan of Hysteria.

I know it's not the heaviest of albums.

But it does show what can be achieved when

all that time can be spent on an album.

Here's Leppard playing a home town show at the 

beginning of the Hysteria Tour.

Great stuff it is too.

With a mighty fine setlist.

Def Leppard the most successful band of the 80's.

(sales wise?)

They've just released a new album to positive reviews.

Break A Good Boy's Resistance Down...

Pretty good audience recording from

one of the many UFO line ups.This 

one featuring Laurence Archer ( Stampede,Grand Slam)

on guitar.They made one album back in 1992,

High Stakes & Dangerous Men.

They play a couple of songs from the 

new album and the usual classics.

Ninety Miles An Hour Gonna Get My Goat...

 Good ol' Rock 'n' Roll from the Satellites.

The Ritz,NYC back in 1987.

No frills just everybody having a good time. 

Plenty of their own tunes and a few covers too.

The artwork doesn't quite line up 

with how it's split.

Can't You See The Shape I'm In?...

 Another Blues man who gave his all to the genre.

Rory Gallagher,gone but not forgotten.

Seemed to always be playing and releasing albums.

Pretty intense performer by all accounts.

No fancy stage show just instruments and amps.

This is a very good FM broadcast and well,

Rory is giving it large!

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.

Good Evening...

 Twisted Sister back in '82.

They weren't reinventing the wheel with their brand

of anthemic rock.

I enjoyed their first few albums,I was entertained.

Never as heavy on album as they were live.

They had a good run.

Years later they made the very good decision

to play short but lucrative tours & festivals.

Enjoy this one when they were full of beans!

Livin',Lovin' I'm On The Run...

 

This is a really excellent MSG audience 

recording in Southampton 1982.

Featuring some great Schenker solos.

Graham Bonnet has gone after his misdemeanor,

at his one live show in Sheffield.

Gary Barden reappears and

stays in the band until March 1984.

MSG 1982 - Mediafire

Back Cover Corrected.

Little Fishes In The Sea,Say Hooray...

Time for a little cool from Lenny Kravitz.

A talented multi instrumentalist.

Captured Unplugged in 1992 & '94.

I first became aware of Lenny when he released the single 

I Build This Garden for Us.

A little different I thought sounds like a 

Rockin' Hippy.

So I bought the first album and enjoyed it then the second.

Then...that was about it. 

Anyway it's a good listen.

Planning His Vengeance...

 Alright it's ED's final show for the moment.

And he's excited by this one.

White Raven Down - I Always make sure I get to the gigs early

to catch the support bands.Hoping to find

a little gem here and there and I found one with these guys.

Again they were totally new to me but jeez they're 

so good with catchy Hard Rock songs.

And in Stu Bailey they have a top quality guitarist...

keep an eye out for these guys...the future is bright.

I Just Wanna Go Home...

 Another (new band) recording from EDDIE and here he is

to tell you all about them.

Ashen Reach - I have high hopes for these guys,

they blew me away when I seen them.

The quality of musicianship for a young band

is incredible.Hard/Heavy Rock with plenty of melody.

You have to check out their HOMECOMING album if you can.

And in Kyle Stanley they have a singer who can produce

the goods live.

Lend Me Your (Heavy Metal) Ears...

 Out of Holland it's Picture.

Not a band I know much about I only ever knew their song 

from the compilation album,Hard Rock '83.

But they were right in amongst the Hard Rock/Metal explosion

back in the late 70's early 80's.

I had this one for a few years,listening to it again it 

doesn't sound too bad.

Traditional European Metal,it Rocks.

Had a quick look around for some info and

looks like they're still playing and releasing albums.

Evil Minds That Plot Destruction...

 Dio fronted Sabbath on the Heaven & Hell tour.

From Osaka,Japan.

What an album Heaven & Hell is.

Still one I spin regularly and one I listen to

all the way through.Cos there's no filler on that 

monstrous slab of Metal.

It's a pity they fell out during the Live Evil album.

Another couple of studio albums would've been interesting.
