Zep from 1977 with one of those mega shows.
Guess you had to clear your schedule
if you were going to a show back then.
Cos it lasted all night!
Pretty good soundboard and performance
from one of the biggest
of all time.

Didn't Like Rock 'n' Rollers...
An excellent audience recording with a
very clean sound from Spain in 1997.
The setlist is played in a slightly different order
to the rest of the tour.
Good performance by the the band
and a dark haired Michael Schenker.

I'm Gonna Tell My Mama...
Cool compilation from the King of Rock 'n' Roll's
early recordings.
Various different takes from a selection
of his tunes.It's a work in progress,
and shows how those songs come together.
Interesting stuff.
More info in the download.

Music Is My Name...
Here's one that's been up before.

Blue Oyster Cult,not your normal

and subjects.

I'm Not A Nice Boy...
Only six tracks but it's a goodie.
The Aussies back in 1981 no
doubt leaving the punters with sore ears
and the walls covered in sweat.
It's Rock 'n' Roll!
or
Throw My Head Back...
Fantastic Radio Broadcast from the legends that are
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.
Live in London on the Damn The Torpedoes Tour.
Classic Rock!!

Because You Know We Do It Right...
Always been a fan but having not seen them since '86
I expected to see a retro band going through the motions...
how feckin' wrong was I...
GIRLSCHOOL totally killed it tonight,
Kim had been ill recently but she was on fire tonight and half way
through the set they brought on a young guitarist/singer
who helped raise the levels even further so the future
is looking good and they have a new album coming out at some point.
They played everything that you would expect
and left a packed Underworld begging for more...
they were so good I even stayed for that stupid
band/crowd picture thing at the end
and I never do that...what a gig...enjoy,Ed.

Goodbye,Johnny B. Goode...
Live on the Quo album Tour at the legendary Glasgow Apollo in 1974.
A lively performance by the band with a Rocking setlist
legend has it the balcony was moving up and down
during the show due to the audience movements to the music.
With Montrose as the support band must have been a great night.
Quo tour poster,
this show isn't on it,
it's the extra date that was added due to the demand.
The sound is similar to past 70's posts,very listenable.

Down,Down, You Bring Me Down...
First time appearance of this band at HRC.
The Stone Roses,probably the best band to come
out of that Manchester,England indie Rock scene.
Massively influential.
And a band I had no time for back in the day,
as I've said before I was all Metal.
Now I appreciate the musicianship here.
When they were on they had a massive groove.
Their debut album is regarded as one of the
best albums by a UK band...ever.
Record company troubles and
personality clashes meant their full
potential was never realised.
A fine audience recording here from Japan
back in '89.
And of course they finish with the
indie Freebird ,the classic, I Am the Resurrection!
or
The Freakiest Show I Know...
RHCP out there in Japan on the Mother's Milk Tour.
A fine album and the first to feature Chad Smith
and John Frusciante.An album I haven't
listened to in a while.
So I might dig that one out for later.
Playing songs from their four albums here and also a little
peppering of cover tunes,fine stuff.
Anyway the next album was the one
that would send them stadium big.
Fine upfront sound on this so if you wanna Rock out
or get Funky this is the band for you!
Silver cd Rip.

Gettin' Down For The Last Encore...
The Michael Schenker Group only this time called
The Michael Schenker Fest.
An excellent audience recording from their 2018 tour of Japan.
Featuring four vocalists from past line ups.
With a marathon 33 song setlist.A sort of history of
Michael Schenker with each vocalist taking turns
to perform their past songs.Also a few songs off the
two Schenker Fest albums and finishing of course
with a bunch of UFO tracks.
With plenty of the trademark Flying V guitar solos.

"Mr. Bowie Has Left The Theater"
David Bowie on the Diamond Dogs Tour from '74.
Ziggy was long gone and never one
to stand still,he's revamped the older tunes.
Slowed down or with added brass,more keyboards etc,
it's an interesting show.
One of the great artists.
Vinyl Rip.

I Thought This Was The UK...
The Sex Pistols live in Paris on their Filthy Lucre Tour.
Has there been another band so notorious
or influential with only one studio
album to their name?
If this is an FM broadcast it's not the greatest.
But it's very listenable and enjoyable.
Suitably Punky!!

Nothin' Is Faster...
Here's Sound Barrier's 3rd and Last Record...
Although, I Think They Recorded 1 Song in
2017 or There-Abouts?
Called: I'm Just A Man...
Beware: There's Another
Sound Barrier or 2 Out There,
1 That Reminds Me of a
Band Somethin' Like R.E.M.
And, Even Another One That
Plays Electronic Dance Music!?!
Speed Of Light was Released in 1986 on
Metal Blade Records...
It Contains
Hollywood (Down On Your Luck)
as a
Tribute to Phil Lynott...
IF You Liked Their Other Efforts,
You'll Probably Like This One as well...
They Don't Stray Far From Their
Own Heavy Metal Style...
Just Another Band in the
Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda Category...
But, Sound Barrier Left Us Some Great Music!
So The Last Shall Be First, and The First Last...In Line...
Here's an Excellent Trio of DIO Concerts!
ALL Are Soundboard Recordings and
ALL Are From The Hammersmith in London!
Just Different Years...
Ronnie James Dio,
Although Not Religious Himself,
Did Use Biblical Themes and
Such in Many of His Songs...
Like
Egypt (The Chains Are On)
and
The Last In Line...
Just To Name a Couple...
Along with
Sword and Sorcery
and Such Things as
Good and Evil
and
Rainbows, Etc...
Anyway, It's Classic DIO!
Dio - Hammersmith Trilogy - CD1
Another Chapter of Stryper...
FROM:
Formed in 1993, King James has been called a
hard rock supergroup for good reason.
In 1993, Rex Carroll (Whitecross) met
Jimi Bennett (Sacred Fire) at the
Kingdom Bound Festival in Buffalo, New York.
Jimi was looking to put together a new band,
whereas Rex was
Feeling the pull toward new musical horizons.
As fortune would have it,
Stryper was in a down season as well.
Rex called Tim Gaines,
Jimi called Robert Sweet,
and the original
line-up of King James was born.
Jimi on lead vocals,
Rex on guitar,
Robert Sweet on drums, and
Tim Gaines on bass.
King James recorded one successful album
for StarSong in 1994 and toured extensively.
THIS Is THAT Album!
And, Rex Carroll Is Considered
"THE" Hard Rock / Heavy Metal
Guitarist of Christian Music!
You May Have Also Heard His Playin'
on NFL Programs on ESPN,
or
For the NBA,
Specifically the Milwaukee Bucks,
and On a
Tommy Bolin Tribute Album,
Etc. as well...
Yellow and Black...It's Their Color Scheme...
This Is The Original Yellow And Black Attack!
From Stryper...
It Was Released in 1984, Originally!
On Enigma Records...
Then Re-Recorded and a Couple More
Tracks Were Added...
According to Michael Sweet's Book: Honestly...
Then Re-Released in 1986...
NOTE:
From DISCOGS:
All versions with more than six tracks,
(including Japanese releases with the original cover art)
have different versions of the same songs.

Snakes & Sykes Alive...
Whitesnake: 1984 Version...
(With John Sykes on Guitar!)
All Others Involved Are Excellent Musicians!
(They're Listed on the Back Cover...)
Live in Glasgow, Scotland!
At The Apollo!
Excellent FM Radio Broadcast!
As Far As Bein' The "Definitive" Version?
You'll Have to Be The Judge of That!
But, It Does Sound Really Good!
Also, They Play a Great Setlist as well...
Just A Little Bit Of Conversation...
Now this is an interesting one,I really like the
Broken with their Nickelback sound but I gotta
feel for them as it was less than a year ago they
were playing theater size venues and filling them out,9 months later it's
back to the clubs and NOT filling them out...it's got to be so difficult
for working bands these days because of the costs involved
they can't really afford to tour all over Europe and beyond
unless they have huge investments behind them
from record companies which as we know no longer
exist and they certainly will not get any help from t
he government regarding the brexit costs so they are
tuck on the treadmill of touring the UK again and again.
Shame but that's life these days for many bands.
On the selfish side it's great for me as
I get up close and personal with some
very talented musicians who I know should be playing arenas...
Enjoy,Ed.
or
Somebody's Flying The Flag...
A few months ago I came to the same venue to see
Aussie Rockers MASSIVE who I thought
were really good and had a big future..well forget
all about that as Brad the singer and main man left
them and relocated to Germany where he has started a new band,
this was one of their first gigs together and as you would expect a
bit rough round the edges but they were good with some great songs.
Not the greatest of turnouts which meant
I could actually see the band close
up for a change in this tiny box room...good solid Hard Rock...
I liked them...Enjoy,Ed.
