There's Too Much Confusion...


 Here's something I found on my hard drive.
A couple of guys I don't know anything about.
I think Rocket maybe sent this my way,years ago.
Anyway it's excellent Blues Rock from
Rob Lamothe & Craig Erickson.
Special mention for the vocals (classic).
A very very good audience recording.

or



Plastic Flowers,Melting Sun...


 Excellent audience recording from the 
Masters Of Metal,yep,Black Sabbath.
From Fresno,Cali,on the
Never Say Die tour.
Of course things were falling apart by
this stage for the band.And it wouldn't be
long before Ozzy was given the bullet.
Still,they sound pretty good here.

or



One Nation Under A Groove...


 Alright we're bringin' the Funk!
Parliament & Funkadelic,two groups with
interchangeable members.
Led by George Clinton.
Here they are in Denver back in 1976.
Outrageously dressed and with a big
stage show they certainly bring it.
Great musicianship and plenty of tasty guitar
playing.So if you like that Sci-Fi,
Psychedelic Funk 'n' Roll...

The Bottom Line Club,NYC back in 1977.

Fire In The Sky...


 


With Glenn Hughes just about to start
(October) the 50th anniversary of the Burn album tour in the UK.
 Here is an excellent Glenn Hughes 
show on his classic Deep Purple tour in Australia 2017.
 A really nice setlist and great to hear
 these songs being played live as apart 
from David Coverdale nobody else plays them,
not even Deep Purple.
And Glenn's voice sounds amazing even to this day.






Caught In The Ricochet...


 

This is an old classic UFO bootleg that's 
been around for many years. 
This version is ripped from my old cd,
it's one of the best from the Chapman era. 
An excellent FM radio broadcast on the 
No Place To Run tour in Chicago 1980.
It Features 4 tracks off the album
and is another great UFO Chicago show.

Time Is Never Time At All...


Fine show from Alt. Rockers 
The Smashing Pumpkins.
On the Mellon Collie tour,
a fine double album I'll still dig 
out now and again.
Great sounding show from Vancouver '97.

Icicles Within My Brain...


 Black Sabbath on the reunion tour from
Los Angeles 2013.And they had an album to
promote,13.Unfortunately Bill Ward wasn't  
involved in this.It would've been nice if the 
original four could have ridden off into
the (Metal) sunset together.
Audience recording.

Must Be The Gypsy In Me...


 Another show from the right and proper
Whitesnake.Before the big hair
and twiddly guitars!
Another tour,another album and another line up.
From the Slide It In Tour of '84.
A very nice audience recording from
Edinburgh,Scotland.
After the break up of Thin Lizzy our man
John Sykes appears.

or






But Sail Along,Sing Your Song,Carry On...


 Excellent audience recording from the
Sacred Heart Tour,Tokyo 1986.
With (probably) the greatest Heavy Rock
vocalist of all time RJD in fine form.
Viv Campbell played on the album and started
the tour but was booted and replace by Craig Goldy.
The album was fairly successful,unfortunately 
the subsequent albums wouldn't sell as well.

or



I'm Just A Soldier Of Fortune...


 

Listed as the Definitive Soundboard version  
and a more complete recording of the classic 
Live In The Heart Of The City album at Hammersmith 1980.
A really excellent sound and performance. 
For many the definitive line up of Whitesnake. 
David Coverdale 
Neil Murray 
John Lord
Mickey Moody 
Bernie Marsden

It makes you wonder
why this wasn't the original release back in the day.












Sweet Are The Days...


 

The classic album Tokyo Tapes was recorded 
on the 24 and 27th of April 1978.
This is an excellent audience recording 
of one of those nights, the 24th.
   Its Uli Jon Roth era Scorpions at their best.

Don't Make Me Blue...


 Some good time Rock 'n' Roll with
Georgia Satellites offshoot band,Hellhounds.
With a setlist full of Sats tunes
and an inspired selection of covers.
It's a fine audience recording that puts you
in amongst the action!

Everyone Should Sing...



 An excellent DVD rip of the Pete Goalby era 
Uriah Heep on the Equator album tour in 
London 1985. Great mix of old and new songs.
All served up with plenty of guitar work 
by the one and only MICK BOX. 
A one track MP3 file,60 minutes long.




They Never Had Such Fun...


 

UFO promoting the Lights Out album 
live in Buffalo on the 11th or 12th of 
November 1977 supporting Rush, 
with Max Webster also on the bill.
Pretty decent sound unfortunately with a couple of cuts.
 But a very lively performance with Michael Schenker at his best.     
Also included a good 28 minutes from Miami, 
   unfortunately that's all there is.

Early 80's was a prime time for Southern Rock bands.

and Doc Holliday to name a few.
Let's Rawk!!
