I'm So Tired...

 OK back to 2010 and the Sonic Boom Tour.

KISS decide to play a small show in London.

How special would it have been to see the band

close up in full costume?

Once the confetti cannons were let off

I believe the show was cut short.

It sucked all the oxygen out of the air!

Band couldn't breathe.

There was also a fan made book about the show.

"KISS Rocks Islington"

and long out of print I would imagine.

Right Now,This Time...

Pretty good sounding show from

Metal Legends,Motorhead.

This time with Robbo on board.

Not a great fit image wise.

He did enjoy annoying his bandmates and audience

with his non Motorhead attire.

But,that album,Another Perfect Day is killer.

I pull it out now and again and it blows me away.

Maybe I've got a soft spot for it as

I bought it when it came out.

But I have read it's better thought of

now than it was when it was released.

I Said A Hey,Hey,Hey,Yeah...

Soundboard recording Ian Gillan fronting his own band between 

spells with Deep Purple.

Live in Munich promoting the album Future Shock an album that sold well in the 

UK reaching number 2 in the album charts.

Also of note here is future Iron Maiden guitarist 

Janick Gers first live performance with the band.

Pretty good rock concert with Ian singing as only he can.

Deep Down Inside A Stream Of Light...

There are so few recordings (4 I believe) of Michael Schenker with the Scorpions on the 1979 Lovedrive Tour none have exactly top quality sound. 

This is probably the best sounding one.

Unfortunately Schenker's participation with this tour and the Scorpions was short lived due to Michael's well documented problems at the time.

So Matthias Jabs returns to the band,

Schenker forms MSG and the rest as they say is history.

Note.

Track listing doesn't match the file but the music's all there.

It's A Book!

 

Pulled this book out due to the comments about
Uriah Heep and the Glasgow Apollo.

Great read this one all about the history and the

bands that played at the venue.

Long out of print no doubt.

As you can see from the list of bands,Uriah Heep were indeed

the last Rock Band to play there.

Cause You Set Ma Soul On Fire...

 Here's a show from Brooklyn '92.

KISS gearing up for the Revenge Tour by

playing a series of club dates.

And by all accounts playing better than ever

and reconnecting with a smaller,rabid,

sweaty crowd.

Must've been cool seeing 

them up close and personal.

Pretty good audience recording here.

I've Heard All Your Stories...

Uriah Heep FM Radio Broadcast from the 

Glasgow Apollo on the Equator Tour.

Not sure if it's a full show but it's 

definitely longer than previous versions.

Excellent sounding lively performance as these 

Radio shows usually are at the Glasgow Apollo.

Doh!

 

For many fans they are probably at the peak of their live 

performances around this time. 

It's a very good Dan Lampinski audience recording 

from The Who By Numbers Tour.

Excellent setlist almost appears to be a greatest hits live collection.

Your Face In The Wind Your Haircut's In...

 Music and chat with John Mellencamp

from NBC's The Source Radio Show.

Broadcast date Oct 21,21,22, 1983.

So right at the release date of Uh - Huh (great album).

Super archival listen.

Vinyl Rip.

Kissin' Time...

 Was looking through the KISS posts and noticed

this one hadn't been reposted.

Excellent quality demos from classic era (1975)

KISS.Good time Rock 'n' Roll.

It Was You,That Filled The Concert Halls...

An FM radio broadcast of Saxon live at the Hammersmith Odeon 1981.  

Its a decent FM recording.The mix could be better. 

But it's classic Saxon on the Denim and Leather tour and a really enjoyable concert.

Its definitely one to play loud!

Now where did I put my old denim jacket?

You Can't Stop A Train With Just A Smile...

Excellent audience recording in front of a enthusiastic American audience.

Usual Strangers heavy setlist with just the two tracks from the Walk On Water 

album Venus and Pushed To The Limit and also the return of 70's encore 

C'mon Everybody. 

Pretty decent all round performance with a nice vibe to the show.

Six Foot Hot Look...

 Here's a pretty cool collection of demos from

the band that gave up their 50 year career 

a year ago.Love 'em or hate 'em

you couldn't ignore them.

Hopefully we'll get some cool stuff released from

the archives. 

And at an affordable price,that would be nice.

Sound quality on this is very good apart from the 

Paul Stanley tunes...for the serious collector only!

Big Trouble At My Door...

 

Blues from South Africa which is not something you see very often.Tonight I did something a bit different I got to the venue nice and early and made my way to the front barrier (normally I like to stand further back and take it all in).The reason being,this guy is such a talented guitarist I wanted to be up close and personal and watch in awe at the style he plays and trust me it is amazing to see him from 2 feet away playing with such such emotion.What a great gig...Enjoy,Ed.

I Was Leaving For Home...

With the news that Uriah Heep are starting on their 

final tour that's expected to last two or three years.

Here a  recording from Wacken 2023

a dvd audio rip 67 minutes long of modern day Heep. 

Apart from the opening track where the vocals are lost in the mix 

it's a GOOD sounding recording.

A Simple Tune And It Moved Me...

 

Excellent recording by Dan Lampinski of 

Robin Trower on the In City Dreams tour in Boston 1977.

As you would expect plenty of guitar work by 

Trower and soulful vocals by James Dewar.

With new member Rustee Allen on 

bass and Bill Lordan on the drums.

There Was A Girl I Knew...

 OK just a little update.

I got myself a new computer recently and as we all know,

what a hassle.The last one was ready for blowing up

I think,super slow etc etc.

That's why things have been more quieter around here than usual.

Hopefully we're once again good to go.

Thanks again to UFOSteve & Eddie for keeping us supplied.

There's a version of this up on the site but

this would appear to be the whole show

from one of the all time greats,

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.

Gainesville 1993.

They no longer make them like this!
