Can Feel It In The Air...


 Another fine show from Rod and the band.
This time from 1978 and Manchester,England.
Fine selection of tunes.
Cover almost matches up.
The last song not on the back cover is,
I'm Losing You/Drum Solo and 
it comes in at 14mins...Yeah!

History Won't Care At All...

 

This is the full 2 hour plus FM Radio Broadcast from 
Santiago,Chile in 2008.Complete with the annoying 
radio announcer between songs otherwise a 
fine recording from the collaboration of 
Queen and Paul Rodgers.
Paul's voice sounds great as does Brian May's guitar.
Is it Queen for the purists? maybe not,
but it's a fine entertaining Rock Show.





Stuck On Some Old Song...

 

A rejuvenated UFO live in the USA 
promoting the excellent You Are Here album.
A good set list of old and new songs with Vinnie Moore and 
Jason Bonham breathing new life into the band.
No Pete Way on this tour unable to gain a visa to the 
States so it's Barry Sparks on bass.
A Very good sounding audience recording.

He's In The Best Selling Show...


 According to Nile Rodgers producer of
Let's Dance.Bowie wanted an album that appealed to
the masses and contained a few hit singles.
And that's just what he got.
So here he is from Montreal,Canada back when 
he was a big name once again. 
Fantastic band and setlist.

I Wrote This Song For You...


 Found another Thin Lizzy show that's been 
here before.Pretty decent audience recording
from Norway on the Black Rose Tour.
With the Norwegians - 
making a lot of noise.
Gary Moore on guitar of course.

or



Don't Try To Lie...


 Here's another from the Instant Live series of
shows from KISS - Rock The Nation - 2004.
Yeah we miss them now they're gone!
Parasite,Got To Choose & I Want You
are just a few of the songs they've dusted off
for this one.

Entertaining stuff from one of the greatest.

"It's OK Amigos You Can Let Yourselves Go"...


 Very enjoyable audience recording.
It's from Paris,France 1978
on the Bad Reputation tour and just 
a few weeks before the classic - 
Live And Dangerous is released.

I Have So Much Left To Forget...

 

An excellent soundboard FM Radio Broadcast of  
Europe on the 2004 reunion,returning after 
12 years apart in their home country of Sweden.
Performing a set list full of their best known songs. 
With plenty of guitar solos by Jon Norum 
and great vocals by Joey Tempest.






Dreams Just Fade Away...




 Here's an excellent old MSG soundboard from 1984.
With Michael Schenker still at the peak of his powers. 
A very good performance all round in
front of an appreciative Japanese audience.

A Little Old Fashioned But That's All Right...


 It's ex Faces frontman Rod on a UK Tour
back in 1976.
A very nice Radio Broadcast and whoever
his band was at this time.
Damn! very good.
Back cover missing a couple of songs
but apart from that,good to go.

or



You Spend My Money...


 I went through the Quo stuff on the site and I 
didn't see this one.Although it has been 
posted here before.Quo from 1982 in Germany.
I think this was from a TV show so...
sound is good and a Rockin' time was
had by all.

As It Began...


 Going back twenty years Queen provided bootlegs on their site
for purchase.Great idea.So I ended up buying this one.
It was touted as the top 100 bootlegs.
Unfortunately it didn't seem to take off and
was disbanded after 32 shows.
But what we have here is a cracker.
Queen firing on all cylinders in
front of a fanatical crowd from Glasgow,Scotland
back in 1977. 
Two mp3 files.

You Can't Forget Me,Baby...


 Alright back with the Hottest Band In The Land.
Who back in December played their last live shows.
Although the word is there'll be lots more KISS to come.
But will it be music?
We know there'll be new avatar live shows.
But capturing a new generation of KISS fans,
I can't see it.
Anyway back to simpler times and another show from
the Rock The Nation Tour,featuring Thayer & Singer.
I Want You,Makin' Love & War Machine just a few of the
tunes featured.It's high entertainment Hard Rock.

or




I'm Calling All the Shots Tonight...


 Aerosmith back on the road and getting
their second wind.
An in between albums tour it would seem?
Great sound and performance and what a setlist!
Although it's not one of Tyler's greatest vocal wise.
Maybe he was just a little "emotional" cos Joe's Back?  

Thanks To BowlingRon for the correct date and location.
Alameda County Coliseum,Oakland CA.
31st August 1984.

All Alone Now,Except For The Memories...


 Excellent show from Queensryche.
Sounds like an FM Broadcast so
great sound on this from a band that could replicate 
their records live.One of
the best bands to come out of the 80's.
Plus Operation:Mindcrime is one 
of the best Rock albums of all time.
Yep I did say that,cos I mean it.

or



You've Got What It Takes...


 Here's a cool little compilation from Free
between December 1971 & January 1973.
One of the best Blues Rock bands of all.
Sound isn't exactly stellar but it is a 
pretty decent listen.

or



Full Blown Engines...


 

UFO,Zurich 1975 has been around for years on the 
Japanese  bootleg sites.
The sound is a bit rough and ready but still very listenable. 
 It's a nice early concert from the Force It tour with 
Michael Schenker in fine form.
I've also added a second show from the same 
venue 2 years later at the start of the Lights Out tour 
with a similar sound, 
 this one doesn't get posted very often 
and again has some nice Schenker solos.








Rock Me All Night Long...

 

Came across this recently on a torrent site. 
 An excellent audience recording of Robin Trower on the 
Long Misty Days tour of 1976.
With a great set list and performance, 
it's classic Robin Trower at his best.

 (Credit must go to the taper Stephen Hopkins 
and JEMS for the mastering)

It's Enough To Make You Rip Out Your Hair...

Sleazy Hard Rock from NYC could've,should've,would've been a big band with a great debut album in 1990.Things were looking bright BUT then on the 24th Sept '91 a little known Seattle band released 'Nevermind' and that was IT, a whole genre of music was wiped out and I still haven't forgiven Mr. Cobain.BUT thankfully they reformed a few years back and at last I get to see them albeit in a small shitty club but sometimes that's the best way to see certain bands,especially these guys bringing that cool New York Groove to the streets of Camden....loved it..Enjoy,Ed.
