If I Ever Get Back To Fun City...


 Sticking with the 70's here's The Stones.
Elegantly wasted touring the Black & Blue album.
Yep I like that album some great songs on it.
Sweet setlist here and you also get a couple of songs
from Billy Preston who played keyboards on the tour.
From Lyon,France '76.


We're Not In Kansas Anymore...


 Classic Rainbow,Dio & Blackmore what a team
(while it lasted).
Hard to believe they only recorded three studio albums
and one live album together.
For want of a better term this is Epic Rock!!
A 22 minute version of Catch The Rainbow anybody?
Plus all the solos,who said 70's Rock was self indulgent?

Moving And Thinking Again...


 OK are we ready for some Psychedelic Rock,
Blues Rock,Stoner Rock or whatever label
these guys have.
Out of Sweden,Graveyard.
Here's a compilation of a couple of live shows
that'll take you on a trip if you wanna go!
Just chill and gently nod that head.
Get yer groove on!

On The Marquee At The Marquee...

 


Here's a Band Featured Here Before:

Honeymoon Suite!

They had that 80's sound of Hard Rockin' Guitars,
Keyboards, and Soarin' Vocals...

Here They are on the King Biscuit...

Live from the World Famous Marquee Club!

A Very Energetic Show in Front of a Willin' Crowd!

I Think I'll Sign It, Good Health To You...

 

smoker talked about the 80's Decade and Hair Metal, Etc...
Recently in His Posts...

These Guys - Autograph - would fall under that Banner...

Here's Somethin' You may or may not have seen (Or Heard...)...

It's a Release from Some Years Ago...1997, to be exact...
[By Steve Plunkett (Singer and Rhythm Guitarist) 
who has a New Solo CD Out Now, called My Attitude...]
(It's Out of Print Now...)

But it goes Back Farther than that...
It's Songs Recorded Back in 1989, 
for a 4th album that Never Came To Be...
And, The Band called it a Day (For a While, at least...)

Woah,We're Halfway There...


 A live compilation here from one of the most successful bands
from the 80's.Back when they were good.Bon Jovi.
Some tunes on there from the 7800 degrees record.
Another album I haven't listened to in a long time.
I remember the songs were decent & the 
production wasn't that great. 
What was cool about that record was on the inside cover,
a couple of pix of Gene & Paul!!
At a push I'll go up to These Days before things started 
going downhill for me.


They Will Go to the Ball!


 Sweet show from those Philly guys.
One of the better bands to come out of
the Hair Metal scene.
They just seemed to have a bit more substance to their music.
They looked good (well apart from that first album cover!)
& sounded good.
So enjoy some cool Hard Rockin' from the decade
that will never be repeated.

Let The Music Do The Talking...


 A hometown show for those Boston Bad Boys.
Back in '86 they were touring their comeback album
(with Joe & Brad) Done With Mirrors.
I thought it was a fine album.
A raw no frills Hard Rock record.
It didn't set the world on fire but it was the start of 
their second run of success.

A Nice Place for Cows and Rock and Roll...

 


Eddie Money Playin' the Cow Palace in 1977...

The Cow Palace is Technically located in Daly City, California...
Except for a Small Part of a Parking Area, 
Which Crosses the Border into San Francisco...

Anyone Who's Ever Been Anyone 
Has Played There Over the Years...
(Yep. Yep. Them, too!)

This Particular Show was Some Big New Year's Eve Concert...
Eddie was Openin' for Journey, 
Who was Openin' for Santana!

Anyway, Ronnie Montrose was There as well...
He Plays on Goin' Back To New York!

A Nice KSAN-FM Broadcast...

What's The Story...


 Cool compilation from the biggest band 
to come out of that Britpop scene.
Pretty much taking their influences from the 
Beatles,Stones & 70's Rock.
It was a winning combination,they were huge.
Of course with brothers in a band there were 
disagreements,and all that usual stuff.
They're still not talking.


 

Shout And Scream...


 Twisted Sister at the Reading Festival 1982.
I dug these guys from the Ruff Cuts days.
And eagerly awaited their debut album.
Which I still like.It was raw,loud & proud.
Their subsequent albums were a bit more polished.
Anyhoo a storming set here.
At these festivals it's customary to throw things at bands
if you don't like them.
Sometimes when you do like them as well!
Dee is having none of it and challenges the 
crowd to a fight backstage,after.
Peace ensues.



 

A Boulder Is a Big Rock!

 

OK, Folks, Here It Is!

Rose Hill Drive Playin' the 1st Led Zeppelin album...

In Its Entirety and In Track Order... LIVE!


IF You Liked Them Playin' Led Zep II or Aerosmith's Toys...

Walking On Water


UFO giving it another go with Michael Schenker.
Touring the Walk On Water album.
Now I haven't listened to that in I don't know how long.
If my memory serves me which it rarely does,
I think it was decent enough.
Anyway pretty good audience recording.

 Cool show from Zep back in '69.
Great sound on this one and it's easy to see
why they made a big impression from the off.
Light & Shade,Tight But Loose.


Aboard The Thailand Express...


 Complete soundboard recording from the Hemispheres Tour.
Three guys,masters of their craft.
Making a great sound.
The older I get the more I appreciate bands like Rush.
Who give you that more in depth listening experience.
Hey!I was late to the party but I'm here now.
