It's Close To Midnight...

 I keep missing these guys when they come around

but thankfully I managed to get to this one.

And sooo glad I did given an hour set they smashed it.

No frills attached just pure Hard Rock at it's best,

2nd on the bill they had the crowds full support

and I can see them headlining venues this size in

the near future...enjoy,Ed.

Blame It On The Boogie...

 The original three chord wonders Status Quo

back together for another go around.

Never meaning much in the U.S. but an institution 

in the U.K. and everywhere else.

Hugely successful and when they were hot

they were hot.

Unfortunately two of the originals have

passed on.

Excellent audience recording.

Life After Angel...

 

Here's Another Band That Came Out Of Another Band...

After Angel Called It Quits...

(For 'Bout 10 Years...)

GIUFFRIA was Formed and Had Moderate Success...

Listenin' to Some of This Concert in Japan,

(I Wasn't In Japan...I's Here At The Barn...)

I'd Forgotten How Good This Line-Up Was...

Sure, There's Keyboards...

But, That Craig Goldy was a Wiz on Guitar,

And, David Glen Eisley Had a Great Voice,

And Alan Krigger Was Solid on Drums...

This Is a Damn Near Perfect Bootleg!

Sound Quality and Performance Are Stellar!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

I've Got To Keep On Chasin' That Dream...

 

It's Kinda Confusin'...

And, Probably, ALL Tom's Fault In The End...

(I'd Say It's Tirin' Waitin' on Tom's Quest for Perfection...)

In 1980, Barry Goudreau Released a Solo LP,

Which Sounded a Lot Like BOSTON...

(Of Course, Several Members of The Band Were Present...)

Tom Was Not Pleased!

In 1990, Brad Delp and Barry Formed

RTZ (Return To Zero), 

Recorded a Bunch of Songs and Released an Album and

Toured (Of Which This Is One Concert...)...

And That Was Pretty Much That...

(And, I Didn't Even Mention Orion The Hunter...)

Oh, Barry Released More RTZ...

Lost, Found, and Lost and Found...

But, They Were Supposedly Songs

Leftover From the First Sessions...

This Is a WMMS Broadcast from 1991...

Live From The Empire...

They Play Originals and a Couple

Boston Songs as well...

Your Dream Is Over,Or Has It Just Begun?...

 

Firstly I cocked up on recording...two sets tonight

1st set (Rage For Order).I had the levels set too high,Doh!

But thankfully I noticed it during the break

ready for the 2nd set (Empire).Which I prefer anyway.

The gig itself,Mr. Tate,even after all these years you 

STILL have the voice.

Just hearing Silent Lucidity live,

is such a special moment that will go with

me to my grave.

Great show,great choice of albums...

See you next time...Enjoy,Ed.

What Do Ya Want? I Want Rock 'n' Roll...

 Very nice audience recording.

Def Leppard back in '88 on the massively  

successful Hysteria Tour.

Of course it also turned into one of biggest 

selling albums of all time.

And to this day it still sounds great.

Cracking setlist as well,only one song

that isn't from Pyromania or Hysteria.

So you debut album lovers are out of luck.

It's a Real Humdinger and I Like It Like That...

 

Someone Sent This to Us...

(Thanks, as Always!)

All I Did Was Put Together Some Artwork...

It's the NWOBHM Band BRONZ!

I Remember Them From Back Then...

Probably 'Cause They Covered the

New England Song: Don't Ever Wanna Lose Ya...

Anyway, Bronz were Appropriately Signed to

The Bronze Record Label...

They Released Taken By Storm in 1984...

They Recorded Another Record as well...

And Then Everything Went Sideways...

If'n You've Never Heard Them...

You Should!

They Put on a Great Rock & Roll Show...

Good Playin' and Good Singin'...

Live from Harpo's in Detroit...

Oh, And 1 of the Songs was written by

Bob Halligan, Jr.

That Name May Seem Familiar to Judas Priest Fans...

And, Other Bands Like KISS, KIX, Blue Öyster Cult, Etc.

Great Broadcast From WLLZ: Detroit Wheels!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

'79 Or '80...What's The Difference?...

 

Ok, So, I Had This Angels Concert...

(Sounds Like The Start Of A Joke...)

Anyway, The Folder Had Music Files...

No Artwork...

But, There was an INFO File That was

Dated March 14th, 1980...

So, I Did Some Searchin'...

And...

September 13th, 1979 Kept Comin' Up...

So, I Went to Setlist...

And...

They Were BOTH There!?!

So, Which Show Was This?

Based on the Great Sound Quality, Etc.

I Deduced (So, I'm Probably Wrong...)

It MUST Be 13 September 1979!

The Audio from a DVD Released

A While Back...

Enjoy The Angels Show...

And...

Let The Comments Commence...

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Shaken Not Stirred...

 There can't be many things better than a New Year's Eve

show with the Brian Setzer Orchestra.

From San Francisco back in '95.

Great music (Rock,Rock 'n' Roll,Rockabilly & Big Band)

played by a fantastic band.

Radio Broadcast,Let's Rock!

You're The Spark In The Dark...

 

Can't believe these Swedish guys have been going since '87.

With pretty much the same line up.Starting things off

with two instrumentals seemed odd to me.

But once they were out of the way they proceeded to

kick some serious bottom.Good solid Hard Rock

with the bass lines giving them that Funk groove.

Pretty sparse crowd tonight not sure where they go from here

but those of us that were there enjoyed it.

We shall see...Enjoy,Ed.

Both Our Shadows,Never Sleep...

 

Guaranteed these guys are the biggest band in Holland

that you have never heard of...same with me

until last Monday.My phone pinged.

Ed come and see a stadium filling band play a 

small dingy club in Camden,er OK.

Did my homework and wow... if you

like your 80's anthemic rock (think Goo Goo Dolls - Simple Minds)

this is for you,brilliant stuff.

Now the only downside being the only Brit in house

between songs it would seem the Dutch like

to start full on conversations with each other.

Which was a tad annoying.But Hey Ho...I still

get that buzz discovering new bands to my ears

even if they have been going for years.

Great gig...enjoy,Ed.

The Pleasure And The Pain...

 Here's an excellent Radio Broadcast from Dire Straits.

The On Every Street Tour.

From Nimes,France.

Which is nowhere near Derek from Paris

as Nimes is Southern France.

(I looked).

There were a couple of tracks on this that were

cut into two or three parts for some reason.

Not on my watch! I've managed to join them 

back together for a better listening experience.

Who says we just throw these shows up?! Lol.

Enjoy.

Everybody Up,Everybody,Everybody Up...

 Classic Metal from Saxon from back in '85.

The mid 80's when most bands hair got bigger

and the albums sounded a bit slicker.

They were all looking for the elusive breakthrough

especially in the US.

It didn't really happen for Saxon they were always

more popular in Europe.

Live,they always deliver as you can hear,here!

There Is A Demon Among Us...

 Audio from Lizzy's last filmed performance.

Finishing on a great album but as we've

said before why finish at all?

I guess what will be will be some paths 

cannot be changed.

One of the best,and they left us with

a fine body of music.

And When The Music Started...

 Here's another Neil Young Radio Broadcast.

Great sound and performance once again.

You either like him or you don't.

Me? when I'm in the mood for the lighter

side of Rock I love it.

From two different venues back in the 90's.

A Flash Of Light,Fills The Night...

 

This is an excellent sounding soundboard.
From the Michael Schenker Group in Nuremberg 1983.

On The Built To Destroy Tour

a disappointing album at the time but the 

songs sound a lot better live.

Schenker's guitar sounds amazingly clear on this.

Mediafire

Did He Leave The Building?...

 Excellent Radio Broadcast

from 1992 out of Denmark.

I've said it many times before that I used to dislike

Dire Straits when they were at their

most popular.Luckily I grew up (a little!).

Only six songs but you're still getting

a lot of music here.

You Got Me Ringin'...

 Pretty good audience recording.

From The Back In Black Tour and the album

that would turn out to be one of the 

best selling in history.

Who would've thought it,back then?

Just Like That River Twisting Through A Dusty Land...

 Back to another mid 80's recording from our

resident Marty McFly...Eddie.

Quality Melodic Rock from Rio if that's your bag.

Not a band I know anything about or

bought any of their output.

I've listened to it and it hits the spot!

Hey Hey Mama...

From '73 and The House Of The Holy Tour.

Album didn't come out until March

live.From Oxford,England.
