Playing the massive Wacken Festival back in 2012.

Still going strong they've just released a cover versions album.

Always staying true to their roots,apart from 

that bit in the mid 80's when they went a bit big hair!

I'm having a great time going through a 

couple of hard drives for this resurrection of HRC.

did a lot of tape rips about 8 years ago.

So it's time to get some of them back up.

Here's a goodie from legendary Metallers,SAXON.

Short but very sweet,enjoy!

 One man and a guitar (and a keyboard and a harmonica!).

Neil Young.Writer of many great songs.

He's playing a lot of them here.

Although not the greatest of singers.

It's hard to imagine anybody else singing these songs.

His voice at times just keeps on the right

side of in tune.

But that's what makes it real!!

Springsteen joins him for the last song.

Tape Rip.

Oh My Legs Are Shaking...

 Quo live at the Glasgow Apollo 1984.

And as you would expect Quo at the Apollo a really lively 

performance by the band and the Scottish audience.

 A long 2 hour 28 song set list of well-known tracks split into 2 MP3 files.

It's definitely one that will get your foot tapping.

NaNaNaNa...NaNa...NaNa...

Bon Jovi on the comeback trail with,Keep The Faith

(a fine album).Still one of the biggest bands on

the planet at the time.They had survived all the various Rock

genres and had come out the other end stronger.

But! I remember the big talking point during this

period was Jon's shorter hair!

Here's a cracking BBC Radio Broadcast from Milton Keynes,

England back in '93.

You Paint A Picture,You Tell A Story...

 One more for the UFO collection. 

Listed as a soundboard?

 The sound quality is variable especially 

on the opening track and there are a few cuts here and there.

But it's a good enjoyable listen.

The performance is pretty loose at times must 

have been over indulging in something (surely not!) 

It features plenty of good guitar work by Paul Chapman 

with his  guitar high in the mix.

High Priest Of Love...

From the same Festival here's Zodiac Mindwarp

& The Love Reaction.

Other wise know as Mark Manning from Bradford,England.

I loved these guys back then.

He had a whole act going on,American accent & 

a great sense of humour.

They released a mini album,High Priest of Love

(highly recommended).

Then they got the record deal and we were waiting for the album.

It kept getting put back,then it arrived.

It wasn't that good.

They did have a couple of hit singles from it.

After that...wasn't that bothered,momentum had been lost.

So if you like that dirty Rock 'n' Roll (Circus Of Power etc)

but with a sense of fun you'll probably dig this mob.

Co-writer of Feed My Frankenstein you can

hear his version on the Hoodlum Thunder album.

Just Like Thunder The Crowds Began To Roar...

 Here's a show I recorded back in 2013.

Man,doesn't time fly?

I only ever posted it on HRC so it probably hasn't travelled that far

over the years.

Had a quick listen to a couple of tracks 

and it doesn't sound too bad. 

So if you're a fan of one of the greatest Heavy Metal bands of

all time...dig in.

Every Place That I Go...

Excellent audience recording of  Whitesnake running through 

their greatest hits back in 2004.

Coverdale's voice maybe not what it was but he still 

puts in a great performance here along with the rest of his band.
