Baby I'll Try To Love Again...


 The ex singer of The Faces did alright
for himself didn't he.
Here's Rod on the Vagabond Heart Tour.
And a very nice sounding two disc set here.
As with Rod he covers a couple of his favourite tunes.

It Ain't Easy...


From 2007 here's a pretty cool outtake collection
from Heavy Pettin.
A band that ended up with a three album career
and it coulda shoulda been so much more.
As we all know some bands make it some don't.
I've scanned the song info for those that like 
a little more background into these tracks.

I Just Want To Be Left Alone...



An excellent soundboard collection of early Skynyrd 
demos mainly from early 70s. 
You can clearly hear the band shaping their sound of
 Rock,Blues and acoustic Southern Style 
for their first classic album Pronounced Lynyrd Skynyrd. 







 

You Gotta Rock And Get Down...



Decent audience recording from the soon to be released 
Assault Attack album.
Although you wouldn't think so looking at the setlist.
Probably due to Graham Bonnet's removal from the band 
and Gary Barden not being familiar with the new songs.
So its classics from the first 2 albums in 
front of a very appreciative German audience.

Practiced 'til I Knew All The Licks...


The Byrdland's on fire for this one!
A very enjoyable Radio Broadcast from Kentucky back in 1995.
A bonus also having Derek St. Holmes in the band as well.
Far from Ted's glory days back in the 70's.
But he did make a couple of albums with Hard Rock
Supergroup Damn Yankees back in the early 90's.
Lately? Had to look it up but he's only released 
three albums since 2007's Love Grenade.

I Worked In Every Joint You Can Name...



A nice sounding incomplete show from Fresno 1977.
The Songs from the then new Street Survivors album 
mix in well with the well-known classic tracks.
Overall it's a really enjoyable classic Skynyrd show.
Hopefully there's a full version of this out there somewhere.








 

She Makes You Burn With A Wave Of Her Hand...



The always active Glenn Hughes formed 
California Breed with Jason Bonham in 2013.
Here they are minus Jason Bonham 
promoting songs from their self titled album in Munich 2014, 
and of course it includes 6 songs rom Glenn's past in the set list.

No One Cared To Stay Around...


The sweet sound of Fleetwood Mac from 1975.
From before Rumours took them to another level.
Very nice Radio Broadcast.
Always great to hear that classic tune,I'm So Afraid.
Lindsey Buckingham ripping it on vocals and guitar.

Leaving On The Midnight Train...

 

Another vintage Quo show from Germany 1973 
on the Hello album tour.
A Very listenable two track MP3 file.
Good to see three tracks from the Dog Of Two Heads 
album still in the set. 
And as you would expect from this 
period of the Quo it's all pure boogie. 



Some Quo News!!

Came across this on Facebook 
Status Quo live new super deluxe edition box set.
Featuring all three nights they recorded at the Glasgow Apollo
for the original album.
Apparently the first night is set for a vinyl release for record store day in April 2025 
with the box set later in the year.








We Had Time Enough to Spend...



Robin Trower back after a 2 year break from touring 
promoting the excellent Victims Of The Fury album.
A decent FM radio recording (some hiss) from Hammersmith 1980.
The band now back as a three piece played a lively rocking performance with the newer songs sounding great live.

Get Your Kicks...


From a small club in Paris,France it's The Rolling Stones
warming up to celebrate their 50th anniversary Rockin' 
& Rollin'.Very good audience recording,maybe from the front
row as it puts you right there front and centre.
And the Stones are sounding pretty fine as well
cos as we all know,class is permanent!

You Gotta Shoot It For Me...



Ripped from an old bootleg CD I acquired years ago.
UFO on the Lights Out tour supporting Rush.
Michael Schenker has returned to the band after 
his midtour disappearance and puts in an excellent performance. 
Overall,it's a decent listenable sounding 
show with a good energetic performance.




 

You Can Call It What You Want...



An excellent sounding one track DVD audio rip
of Rory Gallagher cranking out the songs on his trademark old beat up Fender Strat.
An enjoyable 60 minutes of classic Blues Rock.

Shoot Shoot,Shoot It Boy...



Now this was an eye opener for me,They've been around for about 10 years but totally passed me by as the music they play (Bluesy,Psychedelic Proggy Rock) is not really my go to music but I fancied something a bit different so I went along and I'm glad I did for 90mins I was transported back to the late 60's and it was rather excellent...think early Floyd,Heep,Soft Machine etc etc...Definitly worth a listen if you like those sort of bands...Enjoy,Ed.

You Bought A Guitar To Punish Your Ma...



Now if I was make a fantasy Queensryche setlist it would be what Geoff played tonight...absolutely stunning... every song  was an anthem played and sang at the highest level to a packed Academy crowd.Who just lapped it up and to hear him play Pink Floyd's 'Welcome To The Machine' was the icing on the cake.He has promised to come back every year till he can longer perform and I will be going every year till I can no longer walk...what a gig...Enjoy,Ed.

Ooh Ooh, She's A Little Runaway...


 Very enjoyable performance here from
Joan & her Blackhearts.
High energy Rock n Roll from The Ritz,NYC
way back in 1982.
This one used to be up but the link is dead.
So here's the replacement.

If It Wasn't For Bad Luck...


 Here's one that comes in from Gman,thanks buddy.
It's another in the series of dvd-audio discs.
Hard to come by these days and they'll cost you a pretty penny.
I looked up a list of these discs a while ago
and they cover a lot of musical genres.
Found out this is from March 26-1984
West Palm Beach.

As well as Pat the other members are
Jerry Riggs-gu/voc
Pat Marchino-dr
Barry Dunaway-b 

Good old riffy Hard Rock!!
