Could You Ever Really Feel The Same...

 

The second reunion tour with Michael Schenker continues across 

Europe in 1997 and '98. 

And despite the obvious tensions in the 

band they still put on a good Rock show.

Here are 3 very good audience or DVD audio rips of this.

(Note compressed to 3 discs but the music's all there)

Disc 1 - Mediafire

Disc 2 - Mediafire

Disc 3 - Mediafire

I'm Cutting Out To A Place In The Country...

 A soundboard recording of the 

Welsh Heavy Rockers in Birmingham 1979.

It was the first live performance with guitarist 

John Thomas.

Pretty good lively performance and I'm sure

 it was played at ear shattering volume on the night.

And The Thing I Want Out Of Life Is...

 Kiss are still Rockin' The Nation,

here they are in Hershey back in '04.

The tour was notable for the Alive! outfits they

wore this time around.Although in my opinion

they didn't look as sleek as they did first time around!

Still they did pull out songs they hadn't played in a while.

So a Kisstastic time was had by all.

Funky Claude Was Running In And Out...

Another Purple post! 

Looks like this has been up before 

going by the covers!

A decent radio broadcast from 

back in 1973 from Lyon,France.

It's the Mark II line up and my favourite

version of the band along with a lot of other people.

My fav album?

In Rock.

Why?

Because it was the first album of theirs

I got into.

I Got A Hip Shaking Woman...

 

A free 2 disc cd by Mojo magazine in 2012.

Featuring songs by old American Blues players 

that according to the magazine 

(article below) are said to influence 

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page for Led Zeppelin.

And disc 2 is a few songs by well 

known bands with the same Blues influences.

Since My Baby Left Me...

 

Good audience recording of the Mark III line-ups final tour.

Very good performance by Richie Blackmore on this

good set list with a decent mix of old and 

newer songs with of course plenty of improvisation.

 Although I never understood why they 

kept playing Going Down.

 

(listing on the back cover doesn't match the 

file but the music's all there)

Jack Russell 1960 - 2024

 

A Met At A Gig One...

 

Quo live at the legendary Glastonbury UK Festival in 2009.

Maybe not the hard edge of a 70s Quo show

but a very enjoyable live show. 

It's an excellent sounding DVD pro shot audio rip 

full of well-known tracks,

that definitely gets your feet tapping.

No,I Won't Do What You Tell Me...

 Here's a band that brought their

own brand of Metal,Rap & Funk Rock.

Politically active,they had something to say

and they weren't afraid to say it.

Highly charged show from Irvine Meadows 1995.

Painted Up Like A Fancy Young Man...

 

Mediafire

Good audience recording of Slade live in the USA.

Pretty Rocking set list opening for Aerosmith 

 one of many bands they opened for in

 '74 and '75 trying to crack it in America, 

which unfortunately they never really did.

I'm Just A Stranger Passing By...

 

There are some vocalists who could sing you a food menu and it would be amazing and Ms Schorr is one of those...WHAT A VOICE and with an incredible backing band I just  knew tonight would be special.The inbetween song banter was refreshingly honest and her whole perfomance came from the heart AND for once the crowd showed total respect with no chatting amongst themselves.Her version of Black Betty is stunning.Also included is her short acoustic slot last year supporting SWEET with the super talented Jim Kirkpatrick (FM) on guitar.....Enjoy,Ed.

Let It Out...

 DIO on their first tour after releasing

the classic Holy Diver album.

That line up and those early albums

were killer.

Of course RJD was easily one of the greatest

Rock vocalists of them all.

Sadly missed.

And A Trip To The Moon...

 Here's the full Radio Broadcast from the greatest 

Southern Rock band of all time.

From Cardiff,Wales 1975.

Timeless.

You Won't Come Back,We're Through...

A good sounding audience recording from the 

Under Lock & Key tour of 1986.

Featuring of course the classic pairing of 

George Lynch and Don Dokken 

Short 9 song festival performance that has a nice raw feel to it. 

Surprisingly Dokken albums never sold 

here in the UK their next album reached the 

heights of 96 in the UK charts and is their only top 100 entry.

Hope Within My Soul...

 

An excellent very clear recording of MSG on their 

30th anniversary tour of Japan 2010.

Recorded the day before the official recording with 

the best lineup of MSG since the classic early 80s.

And possibly the reason why Schenker sounds so rejuvenated. 

An excellent all round performance.

As She Reaches For His Photograph...

 

What else is there to say about these guys,I've been going to their gigs for 40 years now and hand on heart I have not seen them have an off night and as I get older and wiser (yea right) and can appreciate the music more,they just seem to get better with each album and tour.The highlight for me tonight was watching a band just have FUN on stage, the way they laugh and joke with each other after all these years is a total joy to watch.Here's to the next 40 years...enjoy,Ed.

That's Why Only Fools And Horses Work...

I HAD TO GO...When I started getting back to gigs three years ago after a long break I said to myself I will keep to the small venues so I can actually see the bands and appreciate the music more and avoid the bigger emotionless sheds where everything is aimed at ripping off the punter.BUT then comes along a gig like tonight with three of the best bands in British Metal/Rock history on the same bill.Well I JUST HAD TO GO and it helped having a 3rd row seat.What a gig!!! for a wonderful 4 hours i was transported back to the 80's when I first seen these bands with my long hair and patched up denim jacket (both long gone).Will share Priest with you first with Saxon & Heep to follow.Uncle Albert (British in joke) and the guys were on fire tonight. With the perfect setlist of old and new....enjoy,Ed.
