Go With The Wind,If It'll Only Carry Us Away...

 

UfO on The Monkey Puzzle European Tour of 2007.

   

Very good sounding audience recording with 

Phil Mogg in a very jovial mood between some tracks.

With Vinnie Moore blasting out the riffs in fine style.

Good performance and vibe to the show.

The Final Curtain.

 December 2nd,
Madison Square Garden,

New York City.

The final KISS Show.

I probably got into KISS back in 1980 I think I saw a pic

of them 1st and wondered what is this?

Anyway I got given the two Alive albums 

(on copied tapes) and there was no looking back.

I didn't know who was who back then.

As in who's singing who's playing what etc.

I also remember at that time I also had

Let There Be Rock & Force It (also on copied tapes).

To this day they are still my favourite AC/DC 

and UFO albums.Guess it's what you hear and when you

hear it that sticks with you.

So...back to KISS,they've been a huge part of my life.

Of course bands let you down sometimes and make you

pull your hair out.

But overall it's been a very enjoyable journey.

They're leaving us with a fine discography and 

pretty diverse for a Hard Rock band.

It's good to see them finish on top even if

it's pretty much as a legacy band.

So thanks for the entertainment and 

the many good times.

Over the next few days I'm sure I'll

be pulling out a few of their albums and 

reliving some of those memories.

To mark the end here's a cool four cd compilation

that somebody put together many years ago.

Sound varies but overall a very enjoyable listen.

Let's ROCK!!

Don't Wanna Be A Pinhead No More...

Classic Punk from arguably the originators.

Hard hitting tunes with a pop melody.

Who would've thought? but it works.

Plus one of the great images in music history.

Denim & Leather!

You're So Sweet...

Here's a couple of Radio Broadcasts from those young

whippersnappers,The Rolling Stones.

Back in the news with the release of their "Hackney Diamonds" 

album (a fine listen imo).

And they've just announced a tour for next year!!

So we step back to 1994 for these shows

from the Voodoo Lounge Tour.

I'm Getting A Pick Up For My Steel Guitar...

 A band I think that are better every time I listen to them.

Here's Dire Straits with a show from '79.

Doing the hard slog of album/tour back in the day.

It's a Radio Broadcast so it's quality listening,

always a pleasure to hear the maestro,Knopfler.

Hello Springfield...

 

A good Soundboard from the mk IV Deep Purple 

with of course Tommy Bolin on guitar. 

Live in Springfield USA on the Come Taste The Band tour. 

An album that seems to get better 

and more popular with age

(check out the excellent 

remix on the 35th anniversary edition cd)

With plenty of tracks featured here 

along with plenty of Purple improvisation and solos.

Talkin' 'bout,Sweet Satisfaction...

 

Bernie Marsden and Micky Moody 

live in 1997 performing as The Snakes.

A soundboard recording with a couple of cuts

 and a set of old classic 

Whitesnake songs, which of course they 

co wrote with David Coverdale for 

those early 80s Whitesnake albums.

Featuring vocalist Johnny Lande whose 

voice may reminder you of somebody.

See How They Run...

A couple of Beatles compilations.

Titled "The Alternate Versions".

Covering the years 1963 - '68.

The band have just released

their final single to great acclaim.

Very strange that the two most talked about

bands at the moment are, 

The Beatles & The Rolling Stones.

60 years later...

I'm Just A Link In Your Chain...

 

An unreleased album from 2001 by The Majesticaires  
other wise know as the Company Of Snakes. 
Features former Whitesnake members 

Micky Moody,Bernie Marsden and Neil Murray.
It appears from reading the text that 

this album was a corporate giveaway to the Buckingham group,
a UK construction company's, workers.
 The recording has a light soulful blues rock sound to it.

Tracks 4 & 9 are omitted,they are available on other albums.

I'm Always Takin' The Lead...

 

Deep Purple BBC transmission tapes 1974 live concert LP bootleg.
A friend of mine managed to get hold 

of a vinyl copy of this

 (wouldn't tell me how) a few years back.
And ripped it to an mp3 audio. 
The sound on this is really excellent 

and in my opinion better than the official releases,

even though it's not the full show  
57 minutes of mk3 at their best.

And Watch The Band Kick Back And Play...

 

Now the word legend gets thrown around too easily 
these days but I think in this case it can be fully justified,

with an amazing career he is still 

treading the boards and with tonight's 

packed out crowd he will be around for a few years yet...

having never seen him before I was quite 

shocked just to how good his voice is and me 

being Mr. Sceptical I was on the lookout for any 

trickery coming from the mixing desk.

But no,he was truly singing live and it was such a joy to witness.

Not my favorite era of Deep Purple 

but performance wise tonight was off the scale 

and lastly at 72 years old after years of 

well documented drug & alcohol 

abuse he can still sing and look that good...

amazing... jeez pass me a whiskey and the crack pipe...

enjoy,Ed.

Ghost Rider,Riding By Her Side...

 

Gothic Rock...to be honest it's not a genre 

I'm really familiar with but I do like 

what these guys do,dark but with that commerciality 

that really appeals to me and make their songs very 

accessible but still with that doom & gloom the Goths love.

Packed crowd tonight

in one of my favourite London venues 

and looking around these Goths know how to dress up 

and I think I was the only one 

without any make up on...top night...enjoy,Ed.
