All the way from the US of A for their debut UK gig bringing with them that classic 70's FM,Westcoast Melodic AOR sound that only the Americans can do,what I didn't expect was just how good they would be musically.These brothers certainly know how to play their instruments even if their look is from the Bee Gees disco era.I was waiting for them to break into Jive Talkin'

You Better Come On Home...
A massive high five to Planet Rock Radio for organising
this inaugural Blues night at Dingwall's giving us fans a
chance to see 3 bands up close,headliners KING KING
who I saw earlier in the year at
a much larger venue was as you would expect...
incredible. From their choice of
songs right down to their playing ability,
Mr. Nimmo on lead guitar is truly
exceptional and so melodic and to watch him
was a highlight of the year for me...what a night...Enjoy, Ed.
or
Tears Of Rage And Tears Of Pain...
UFO in their big hair days of 1986.
Maybe not most peoples favourite era but the Misdemeanor album
has some great songs on it but
suffered from the typical 80's production sound.
But live they were still a lot more Rocking.
With the excellent guitar work of Tommy McClendon.
I Woke Up This Morning...
An excellent soundboard recording of the
legendary Irish guitarist in Budapest 1985.
A show full of his unique blues style Rock
played with genuine feeling.
Sadly another rock star who left us way too soon at the age of 47.

Get Ready,Get Ready...
More classic Nugent this time from
the Hammersmith Odeon,London 1977.
Partial show but...
audio is taken from a dvd so quality is very good.
or
This Time The Lights Are Going Out...
It's Def Leppard on the way up touring
their excellent Pyromania album.
Here's audio from a French TV Broadcast.
Overall very good but some of the edits
between songs leaves a lot to be desired.
Only six tunes,is there more?
But! it's classic era Leppard.
Can't get enough of that.

Mayhem's On The Loose...
Classic Rock from the 70's with Ted Nugent.

For many the classic lineup.

Rob Grange - Bass,Vocals
Cliff Davies - Drums
Derek St. Holmes - Guitar,Vocals

plenty of the old blues style .
Including old style versions of Here I Go Again,
Crying In The Rain and Fool For Your Loving.
or

I'm Not Sleeping...
Bit of a little change of pace for HRC.
Here's Aussie band INXS who were massive
in the 80's with particularly the KICK album.
They were all over MTV with those cool videos.
An excellent record and one of the first cd's I bought.
(All killer no filler & excellent production)
Anyway here they are back in their pomp.
From the San Diego Sports Arena,31st March 1988.
or
Waiting For The Warning Sound...
This one was a bit hissy and annoying so
I had a go at reducing some of that noise.
And... to me it's a much better listen.
UFO from 1981 on the Wild,The Willing &
The Innocent tour.Sounding great here and Phil's in
a good mood until somebody swipes his belt!
Dunno if it's the complete show I've read a slightly
different running order and one that included
Love To Love.
Anyway it sounds like a soundboard to me,
enjoy.
If UFOSteve has any more info let's have it buddy.
I know there haven't been many uploads lately
I've been busy and also lazy with other stuff!
Eddie has also sent in more of his recordings.
Plenty of good sounds coming,Keep Rockin'!!

Givers Sing The Blues...
An FM radio show from 1987 promoting the
Passion album.
Not the classic bluesy lineup of the 70s.
It now has Davey Patterson on
vocals as he would be on and off
for the next 30 years or so.
A good mix of old and new tracks
and of course plenty of solos by Robin.

A soundboard of Paul Rodgers at a Japanese Festival in 2006.
Nice Crowd pleasing set list of classic songs with
Paul's voice sounding as good as it did in the 70s.
A tight sounding band with ex Heart

This Town Never Sheds A Tear...
Here's an excellent sounding soundboard of the

A setlist full of UFO songs.
With Paul's guitar the star of the show.

if you're a UFO Chapman era fan you'll enjoy this one.

Until I'm Ready (Ready Freddie)...
Here's a rip I did a long time ago from the VHS video.
A long and laborious process.
Anyway still got the video files,
so here's a fresh version.Fantastic compilation
from various years,sources and locations.
The first time I saw this I was blown away.
So much footage.And to this day a lot
of it still unreleased.
or
The Wind Cried To The Skies...
Robin Trower on tour in 2010 in the UK promoting the
Chrysalis years compilation Album A Tale Untold.
An excellent sounding show full of classic tracks.
With Robin still playing with plenty of feeling.
I Use A Cobra Snake For A Necktie...
As mentioned in the comments the other week.
Two really early Mick Bolton era UFO
shows including the Marquee Club
22nd February 1971,said to be the
oldest live recording of UFO in existence.
Listenable audience recordings
obviously not the best but that's all there is
for this time period I believe.
