Your Tricks With Fruit Are Kinda Cute...

 A pretty good audience recording from The Stones 

in '73.It's The Goats Head Soup UK Tour.

So we're well into that golden period.

On a run of great albums,lookin' good,

soundin' good.And once again Mick Taylor

adds more quality with his guitar playing.

As The Thing Crawls Into Town...

 

KK's Priest live from a recent live stream at the 

Rock Hard Festival Germany 2024.

And you get what you expect, 

 a set of Priest classics and tracks from their two albums.

Take No Orders,Don't Get Fired...

 

With so few 1976 recording around (4 in total ) here's another version of Birmingham 1976 listed as a first generation recording with a better sound to the  previous post on HRC,

featuring some great Schenker guitar solos.

Followed by a show from Sweden at the start (second date) of the

 No Heavy Petting tour. 

The sound is a bit rough and ready but still listenable and again some nice guitar work.

Note

(the original back cover art has errors,London instead of Birmingham and a band photo from 1974 with Paul Chapman)

To The Seat With The Clearest View...

 Soundboard recording from David Bowie

back in 1999,Paris.

Playing a few tunes from

his latest album,Hours.

Plus there's still room for a few classics.

I'm pretty sure I haven't listened to much Bowie

after Let's Dance and he released a few

albums after that.I think I'm going

to make a note and check out some

of his later recordings.

So much music so little time!

I See The Tip Of The Iceberg...

 A nice audience recording here if

a little distant.Rush from Japan 1984 and the 

Grace Under Pressure tour.

A fine album.

The music at this stage was more influenced

by New Wave & The Police (those reggae 

inspired riffs man!)But I found

those shorter songs easier to get in to.

I was one of those that went back to 

earlier Rush and finally got into

their (classic) Prog albums.

She's Crazy,I'm Lazy...

What's not to like about old school British Heavy Metal?To be honest I never really paid much attention to them when they started back in the 80's but over the years I've got to really like what they do and with BLAZE going off and joining Maiden briefly and then setting off on a solo career I didn't think I would get the chance to see the original line up play live...BUT NO,I was suprised as everyone when they announced a few dates 40 years after they started and what a great night it turned out to be,Blaze really is an engaging frontman,to watch him point out fans in the crowd and offer to fight them was hysterical and for a man who had a triple heart bypass at the begining of the year this really was an outstanding performance....enjoy Ed.

Come On,We'll Get From This Place,Now...

 

SUPPORT SLOT #1.OK for all the good people at HRC I'm gonna try something a bit different..Every gig I go to I always make sure I get there early to see the support bands hoping to catch that ONE band/artist who I think will go onto bigger and better things.They will be short sets (but complete) and hopefully introduce you to new artists you would'nt possibly of heard of..Let's start with TOBY LEE a young blues guitarist (born in 2005...jeez I'm old) who even Joe Bonamassa has raved about and to watch this kid play the guitar myself and quite a few others were left open mouthed and to end with a brilliant Jeff Healey cover was the icing on the cake...What a talent...check him out...enjoy,Ed.

Get Too Much You Get Too High...

 

Gig #101 of the year for me tonight..jeez that's something I have not done since the 80's and I will NOT be doing again as it's getting harder on my old bones ha ha...it's been fantastic and I've been fortunate to see some great bands old & new WITH only 2 walkouts (SUGERHILL GANG...the old hip hop fan in me felt let down..."put your hands in the air and scream"...every 5 mins...jeez just play the complete song FFS...and THE SOAP GIRLS who were just awful...(if you're gonna play on the live circuit at least learn to play your instruments and not rely on good looks.) ANYWAY what a great way to end the year I just love SWEET and as I said on last years post they are heavier live than on record,as you would expect all the hits are here with a couple of new songs...great stuff...enjoy,Ed.

The Future Was Wide Open...

 Here's another of those magical mystery bootlegs

from the Arriba! label.

No information with this one.

But when I ripped the cd the title on it was,

The Travelling Heart.

Which would make it Oakland Coliseum Jan. 22nd 1992.

Or...Another boot called Rock n Roll Caravan

from Oakland Coliseum Nov. 23 1991.

Tom does say that there's cameras there tonight.

Which would make it 1991 as there was a

video release of the show!?

If like me you don't really care it's a fantastic show, 

performance and sound.

From The Great Wide Open Tour and by all

accounts the sound was originally taken from

the laserdisc.

The most important thing to remember tho' is,

It's Only Rock N Roll!!

With the release of the classic Robin Trower album

 here's an excellent sounding 

FM/soundboard radio broadcast 

from Pittsburgh 50 years ago in 1974.

it's 45 minutes of the Blues Rock Trio at their finest.

Ya Hear It On The Radio...

 It was a bit of a surprise back in '96 when

AC/DC rocked up to the VH1 Studio and 

played a bit of a show.

Pulling out some tunes that hadn't been played in a while.

A pretty secretive band,you don't

hear much from them unless it's an

album or a tour.

Here we are then up close and personal.
