The Sun Sets In The Land of The Risin' Sun...

 

This was Queen's Last Tour of Japan...

I Believe!?!

Not Sure IF They Toured There With

Paul or Adam, But Then Again...

I Don't Call That Queen!

Kinda Like Lizzy Without Phil...

There's NOT a Hard & Fast Rule

For This Kinda Thing,

It's Just Subjective to Each Person, I Guess!?!

Anyway, This Is An Excellent Recording!

The Sound Quality Is Top Notch!

Even If, In My View, 

Not ALL The Songs Are...

And, It's Not Marred with the Constant Clappin'...

I Posted a Peter Frampton Concert, Years Ago...

That Was Excellent and Ruined, At The Same Time!

I Believe I Invented the Word: CLAPZILLA!

(With All Due Respect to Japan and Its People...)

 IF You're a Queen Fan...

And Don't Have This One...

Get It!

In The Beginning...And Beyond...

 

I Started This Blog: 

Hear Rock City...

Honestly, I Couldn't Tell You When...

I Can Tell You The Very First Post:

KISS - The Ultimate Fried Alive!

It was Sorta in Jest, 'Cause I'd Seen

Definitive Versions and Whatnot...

Anyway, The Real PURPOSE of

This Blog Was to INTRODUCE

Folks to The World of Bootlegs!

I Was Personally Fed Up with Torrents and Such...

(Too Many Rules and Rudeness Involved!)

My ONLY Rule Was (And Still IS:) 

"Play Nice..."

So, I Wanted Folks To Be Able to D/L a

Concert (and Artwork) With Ease...

No Hoops to Jump Through...

No Passwords or Secret Handshakes...

Other Sites and Blogs Are Free To Do

As They Please

...and Should...

'Cause EACH Blog Has Its Own Purpose!

Hear Rock City Was NOT Designed to

Be The BEST Blog Ever!

It Was Basically a 

Beginner's Guide to Bootlegs!

Simple As That!

smoker 

Joined Up and The Rest Is, 

As They Say,

Is History!

But Over The Years, Somethin' Happened...

Somethin' I Hadn't Counted On...

Folks Stayed!

They Kept Comin' Back, To My Surprise!

Hear Rock City IS NOT For Everyone!

Nor Was It Designed To Be...

As I've Explained...

But, Apparently, It Is Home For Some!

And, I Am Still In Awe Of The Folks

That Visit Over and Over and Comment and

Contribute and So On!

Thank You,

Rocket

Holy Soldier Took Stryper's Model

As Always, You're Free To Take It Or Leave It...

Unrelated to THIS Recording:

Mark Twain was an Interestin' Character...

He was, At Times, Religious...

He Once Said:

" The Two Most Important Days of One's Life Are"

The Day You Are Born.

AND

The Day You Find Out Why.

Twain stated that he believed in an almighty God, 

but not in any messages, revelations, holy scriptures 

(such as the Bible), or retribution in an afterlife.

He also Said,

"if our Maker is all-powerful for good or evil, 

He is not in His right mind".

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Enjoy And Play It LOUD!

Are You Gonna March?...

 Another from Eddie and one to blow the cobwebs away.

The Hip Priests - Here's a couple of short sets from

one of my discoveries in the last couple

of years.They play 100mph in your face Dirt Rock.

They've been around since 2007 with little success

but as their song says "Zero Fucks Given"

they gained a few more fans tonight...great stuff.

Wanna Take To The Sky...

Eddie's back and I've doubled up on the shows.

The Karma Effect - Another new band making waves.

They've only been going a couple of years playing that 70's 

Rock sound vibe I love so much.

You can always tell when something is happening with a 

band when the bar empties and all 

their fellow musicians gather round...

ONE TO WATCH OUT FOR!

I'll Never Let You Down...

 He's back the man who's been to more gigs than

The Rolling Stones,EDDIE!!

I Feckin' love these Scottish Blues Rockers

especially with their last album going more commercial.

Live,they are a joy to watch with brilliant musicianship.

The gig just flew past and not once did I look at my watch

to plan my journey home.

Which doesn't happen too often...UP THE JOCKS!

No Reason To Get Excited...

 What I like to do when I'm browsing the interweb is,

download anything that's being offered free.

Like this one here.I didn't know anything about them 

but I grabbed it anyway.

I've had it for a while and gave some of it a listen.

And...it's very good.Old school Rock music with plenty of

guitar action.

So if you like stuff like Gov't Mule 

this'll be right up your street.
