UFO on the Strangers Tour of the USA,1979.
A pretty decent recording ( couple of cuts )
with Chapman now on lead guitar.
Lively set with a good vibe
in a part of the States
where the band are always popular.

I Keep My Weakness At Bay...
YES! I've found another one,this time hailing from Canada.
They play a Southern Blues/Roots Rock
that I just love (think Black Crowes/Allman Bros)
having never heard of them before I took a
gamble and went along and WOW,
they impressed big time,it was their
first visit to these shores and you could
tell they were buzzing about it.
Not the biggest of crowds but I can
guarantee next time they come over it will be in bigger venues...
ONE TO LOOK OUT FOR..Enjoy,Ed.

Hello World I'm Your Wild Girl...
NOW let's go back to the mid 70's a young ED
was just discovering Rock music and like every
other male we just assumed
guitar rock was a man thing UNTIL for me,
THE RUNAWAYS appeared and I was hooked,
being too young to actually go and see them
on the few dates they played over here I made it
my goal to try and see them as solo artists
(well Lita,Joan & Cherie) and my boyhood crush is now complete.
As you would expect the set is mostly
Runaways songs and she still has
the voice that I fell in love with back in the day.
Enjoy,Ed.

With just Francis Rossi left of the original band,
although Andy Bown who's been around
since the early 70's is now a full time member
Not the hard Rocking long boogie of the 70's
But plenty of foot tapping music
to satisfy The Quo Army of today.
A very good audience recording.

We're heading back to London 1989

Plowing their own furrow with their
Glam Punk sound.
Influences include,New York Dolls,Sex Pistols,
The Buzzcocks (What Do I Get) & I
hear some Hanoi Rocks in there.
It's rough and ready but a fine album
for it's time and place.
or
Going Down?...
The Boyz are on it for this one.
Not the complete show unfortunately
but what is here,all killer!
From Hammersmith Odeon,London,

Who's Your Baby?...
Back to 2004 for the Rock The Nation Tour
with our face painted heroes...KISS!!
From the home of Country music,Nashville.
Quite an exciting tour as it was all recorded so
the uploads were coming thick and fast
back then.
They also dusted a few songs down that
they rarely played so
for once there,was a bit variety in the setlist.

And Singin' Out Loud,Yeah...
An excellent soundboard (I believe) of Paul Rodgers.
I don't have any Info on this
I ripped it from a cdr I've had for years titled pr 97.
Probably playing live in the studio to promote
the excellent Now album in 1997.
Paul's voice is great and the band sound really tight.
With a nice mix of old and Classic Rodgers songs.
One track MP3 file,66 minutes long.
Where Are Their Souls?...
This is said to be the earliest known recording of the Scorpions
On the19th of April 1973 at Minden West Germany
Opening for ELOY and UFO.
Featuring a young 18 year old Michael Schenker
on lead guitar

A Very raw sound and not the scorpions of
today but an interesting listen for fans of
the Scorpions and Michael Schenker
(Note cover track listing is different to the files but it's all there)

You've Gotta Break Away...
WHY the hell did I not go and see this band
back in the day,I've always been a fan and their first 2
back in the day,I've always been a fan and their first 2
albums would easily be in my top 100 albums.
Never mind I'm here now and it was just THE perfect night.
And one of the few times I don't have to scrape
about looking for a setlist as I knew every single song,
my only trepidation coming to the gig was
Dante's vocals I wasn't to sure if they would
work in a live setting as I don't think he has the strongest of voices
BUT no problems that end,
it worked and the whole band was so
into playing a small venue like this
it just made the night that extra bit special...
early days but this could turn out to be my gig of the year...
Enjoy,Ed.
or
Yeah I Hear Ya,Yeah...
Every once in a while I hear something from a band and
think wow that's different and good,
2 guitarists and a drummer (what..no bass) and
between them they produce this wonderful unique
America Blues/50's rockabilly sound.
Fantastic to watch live the way they play off
each other with the drummer keeping the whole thing together.
After the gig while having a smoke before catching
the tube with 2 others also at the show
we all agreed we may have have
witnessed something very special
tonight without be able to fully explain why!!!
definitely worth a listen.Young group BIG future.Enjoy,Ed.
