Your Back's Against The Wall...

 Here's one that hasn't been up in a long time.

Black Sabbath from that old Black And Blue video.

From New York 1980 and of course with 

the legendary RJD on vocals.

Fantastic stuff.

I've been reading that their album,Live Evil

is getting the deluxe treatment and will be 

released in June.As far as I can make out there 

will be two versions of the album plus 

some paper goods with a very hefty price tag?

It would be more appealing if it included a 

different concert or two.

For me it's a pass.

And Now The End Is Near...

 

December 1st & 2nd are the dates of the last ever Kiss

shows at MSG,NYC.It's been a hell of a ride!!

Can't say I've agreed with everything they've done

but I've certainly enjoyed most of it.

Just yesterday I received another book purchase

from Japan so I'm still buying stuff even after all these years.

To be fair they have been on a farewell tour for about 

the last 20 years.So the pension pot

must be pretty full by this stage.

All joking aside they are one of the most iconic

bands ever and they've given me a lot

of pleasure over the years.

I can put on one of their albums and it will bring a

smile to my face (except maybe Carnival Of Souls! lol).

Here's a couple of fun shows from the Crazy Nights Tour.

From Sweden and Japan.

Vinyl Rips.

Get To The Top,I'm Too Tired To Rock...

 The Rolling Stones on their long and

very successful Tattoo You Tour.

Here they are stopping off in Edinburgh,Scotland 

at a venue that holds approx 3500.

So anybody there that night would have been

enjoying a pretty intimate 

show with The Stones.

A decent audience recording

with the pretty much standard setlist

for the tour.

Let Us Hear Your Thunder...

 Excellent stuff from Melodic Rockers

Danger Danger back in 1990.

Excellent playing and singing with 

a pile of fine songs.They were a cool band.

They could be a little Naughty Naughty at times,

but here they are on fire.

A couple of classic covers tagged 

on at the end as well.

Gonna Send You A Postcard From Hanoi...

Clap For The Wolf, Man...

 

The Hassles Were Mostly:

The Piano Man and The Drummer Man...

Boogie On, Children

 

A radio recording at the Glasgow Apollo 1982.

Broadcast by Radio Clyde.

From the 20th Anniversary Tour.

In front of an extremely lively Scottish audience.

Very Good setlist.

No split tracks on this one.

It's cut into 2 mp3 files, so it fits onto 2 CDs.

There are a couple of cuts and jumps.

 

Otherwise an Excellent recording.

And Disc 2 is an absolutely Frantic 

51 minutes of blistering 

Quo Boogie.

QUO82-Disc1

You Keep A Wall All Around Ya...

 

This is a Pretty Cool Aerosmith

To Have ALL These Great Songs Together!

It Shouldn't Be a Replacement for the 

Official Live! Bootleg...

Everyone Should Own That on 

Vinyl, CD, 8-Track, Etc.

This Is More Like a Companion Instead...

Thanks To Whomever Put It All Together!

The 1st and Last Tracks Are Instrumentals...

2 of Which Were From The Keep Demos...

Mark St. John - Mark St. John Project (EP) 1999

These Tygers Were Cool Cats...

Tygers Of Pan Tang Took This Old Song,

And I Do Mean OLD...

In 1959, The Clovers Released a Single Version

Of Love Potion No. 9...

(Now, Why Did He Say Single Version???)

Anyway, the Tygers Had Fun With The Song

And Even Made a Cool Video To Go With It!

The Searchers Had a Hit With It in 1964...

Here They Are Performin' It In 1966...

Here's The Original Song Written by Leiber/Stoller...

Another Badfinger Show from MisterManiac...

This One's a Pretty Special One...

The Reason Bein' That It Was Officially

Released (Sort Of...) in 1990 

as Day After Day: Live...

But and However, This Ain't It!

*************************************

Just Another Tragic Story Of a Great Band,

That Had Many Tragedies...

Seems Joey Molland Took The Tapes

From This Recording...

And Then He Re-Recorded Vocals and Guitars...

And, Possibly Bass Guitar...

That's Been Done Before on 70's Live Albums!

So, What's The Big Deal?

Then, Joey Removed Mike Gibbins' Drums, And

Replaced Them With a Drum Machine...

With a Truly Horrendous Soundin' Snare Drum!

He Also Re-Arranged The Song Order, So

That The Songs 

He Sang Where The First Ones

On The CD...

He Opted to Leave Out the Songs:

Perfection and Suitcase and Suitcase Jam...

And, Apparently, He Did Not Get Mike Or

Any Of The Widows And / Or Families Consent...

Or Provide For Them To Receive Any Money...

So, By The Time The Dust Settled, 

The Lawyers Were The ONLY Ones That Made Money...

If Interested, YOU Can Read

Pop Matters

Anyway, Here's The ORIGINAL Recording from

The Agora in Cleveland in 1974...
