I've Seen Darkness,I've Seen The Light...

 

Alright,this one was talked about in 

the comments.Somebody's trying to collect all

of Eddie's shows and Praying Mantis could not be found.

So I had a look and there it was in amongst Eddie's original

batch of recordings.

So here it is 42 years in the making!

Praying Mantis live at the Marquee,1982.

It's Getting Near Dawn...

Classic Blues Rock band Ten Years After live at the 

famous Rainbow Theatre in Finsbury Park, London,1972. 

On the Rock And Roll Music To The World album tour.

  Featuring plenty trademark Alvin Lee guitar solos 

and some good keyboard work by Chic Churchill.

 A good soundboard recording that 

really takes me back in time as 

I saw the band  a few months later in 1973.

I've Been Livin' Too fast...

 

UFO on the final leg of the No Place To Run tour.

now becoming live favourites that would remain in the 

set list for the next few years.

Long Gone from the unreleased next album,

The Wild The Willing and the Innocent.

Many Days Have Passed Me By...

 

A very good sounding audience recording of 

Budgie from 2006.

With Burke Shelly and the boys still showing what  a great live 

Rock Band they were even after 39 years (at the time).

Good setlist with plenty of variety to go with the heavy riffs.

Hail Hail Rock 'n' Roll...

Last minute gig for me tonight.To be honest I never really paid much attention to these guys over the years but I was given a ticket and the support bands looked good so why not?...Well well well I didn't expect this they were so good with some great songs and lead singer Josh Todd is such an engaging frontman you just can't take your eyes off him.The venue was packed so occasionally the recording suffers from idiots who would rather discuss what they had for dinner last night than watch the gig....Jeez i hate these people...Oh well I still came away with a new favourite band...Enjoy,Ed.

Where Legends Dwell...

 

My flurry into Symphonic Metal continues 

I can even put up with the dreaded 

backing tapes and admit it does work 

within this genre of metal.

We had four bands giving it their all 

tonight to quite frankly a piss poor turnout, 

so a big high five to all of them.

Great night...Enjoy,Ed.

Someone Screaming My Name...

 Excellent FM Radio broadcast from

the Joe Lynn Turner fronted version of Rainbow.

From The Difficult To Cure Tour.

By this stage they were going all out

to become an all conquering AOR band.

With varying degrees of success.

Fascinating band due to the number of

members and the very different types

of Rock Band they became.

They Bought And Sold You...

 Here's another show from the 

Nescafe Blues Festival

back in 1995.

It's Jeff Healey a unique talent and much missed.

He could make that guitar do what he wanted

and let's not forget...what a voice.

A few covers in the set but you'd be

hard pressed to find a better cover of,

While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Well I Just Hammer A Song...

Excellent sounding FM Radio Broadcast of Budgie 

at the Global Village,London,1974

Originally a vinyl Bootleg featuring six fairly 

lengthy tracks full of heavyweight riffs mixed 

with a touch of Prog and even some 

 (Quo style) boogie.

An all-round very enjoyable show.

All I Need Is Communication...

 Another UFO show from the 1979 Strangers Tour of the USA. 

It's missing some of the first track,Electric Phase 

otherwise a pretty decent sounding show 

with a very good performance and a real vibe to this show.
