I Know,I Know,I've Been Here Before...

 


NEW LINKS

One of the better Alt. Bands that I got into for a couple of albums.
Sounding mighty fine here captured in Amsterdam back in '97.
Their album Throwing Copper is the one I enjoy the most.
Seems to be the most consistent there's not a duff track on it.
Enjoy this one,band and crowd right into it.
Silver cd Rip.

We're Living Under Murphy's Law...

In front of a very receptive and loud audience.

Ain't No Angel Gonna Greet Me...


NEW LINKS

 Something from The Boss and a solo Boss at that.
From somewhere in L.A. back in 1994.
Good selection of tunes.
Track two features John Fogerty & track three 
features Axl Rose.

The Keeper Of The Sign...


NEW LINKS

 Black Sabbath by any other name,it's the 
Dio fronted Heaven And Hell.
I can't remember the legalities of why
they went out as H & H.
No doubt something to do with reunion tours
and Ozzy's wife?
Anyway a very good audience recording
here.Let's not forget this band was made
up of serious legends of METAL.
Good to hear the much missed RJD once again.

Hands On The Wheel I'm On The Road Again...


NEW LINKS

 Couple of pretty good audience recordings from a fine band here,Riot. 
Excellent early Metal out of NYC.
They were tipped for pretty big things early on 
but it didn't seem to happen.
I'm sure those album covers didn't help.
What was a Seal face man thing anyway?

or





Enjoy The Zoo And Walk Down 42nd Street...


NEW LINKS

 FM Broadcast from the Scorpions.
A transition from Uli To Matthius.
You may have your favourite version but 
in the not too distant future it was Blackout and 
Love At First Sting.Quality times.
There's also a couple of tracks from 
Donington 1980 here as well. 

or



Losin' Money, Getting No Affection...


Aerosmith on the Rocks tour from San Francisco 1976.
They might've been a mess but they were producing
some great albums.And none better than Rocks.
Pretty enjoyable audience recording.

Waves Of Darkness Rise Like The Sea...




Excellent sounding first generation recording from the 
1995  reunion tour.Usual Strangers heavy setlist on this tour with 
a few tracks from the excellent Walk On Water 
album.Very good performance all round from the band.

 


Paintings And Songs That I'd Done In A Day...



Fronted by the excellent guitar playing of Bill Nelson.   
Be Bop Deluxe were one of those bands that are hard to 
decide which type of music they play.
I saw them twice around this period at my local venue and 
remember being impressed by the guitar playing by Bill Nelson,
dressed in a smart white suit.
Here is an excellent Radio performance from Chicago 1976.

Best Little Woman That I Ever Had...




Short-lived blues jazz rock band,  
formed by former Jethro Tull guitarist Mick Abrahams in 1968. 
Despite their first two albums being top 10 hits in the UK 
and some succes in the USA it was all over by the end of 1970.
 Here is a fine example of what they 
sounded like live at the famous Fillmore West 




 

Baby Let The Music Flow,Yeah...




Here's a well-known Bad Company bootleg said to be their
 first ever concert soundboard recording in Newcastle 1974. 
And probably for me even to this day one of their best live recordings.

Eagle Flew Out Of The Night...

 Ex Genesis frontman Peter Gabriel from Rockpalast,1978.
Forged a successful career away from the band.
