KISSin' Time Part 1...

2012-01-28T16:13:00.000-05:00

Kiss boxset from The Godfather Records.
Six classic bootlegs in fantastic packaging.
Three double cd's in triple gatefold sleeves.
This takes me back to the Kiss boots I used to buy on tape w/photocopied covers.I thought they were the coolest things ever.
So here's the first double for ya!!
Fried Alive & Second Kiss In Long Beach.Every Kiss fan will have these but...they also all contain bonus tracks.
They vary in quality but a nice touch indeed.
Maybe KISS should think about opening up their vaults and releasing some of this stuff?I'd prefer this stuff to a Hello Kitty comb,a Mr. Potatohead or a Gene, My Little Pony!
Or maybe that's just me?

Try To Catch The Rainbow!

2012-01-28T08:11:00.000-05:00

This IS a Great AUD Recording Of CLASSIC Rainbow!
Live from Japan in 1976!
Back When Tony Carey Was Still in the Band...
Back When BOTH Cozy & Ronnie Were Still Alive!
HELL, Back When There WAS a Rainbow!
The Performance Is Fire Captured As Sound!
The Sound Quality IS Great For An AUD Recording...
And, This Got Me To Thinkin': I NEVER Have Really Stated Out Loud And All My Grading /Rating System (As It Is...).
Most Places Use Letters Like A School Report Card: A+ and All That, AND Some Sites Use Numbers: 8.5/10 And Such...
ME, I Just Figured It Was Easier To DESCRIBE The Sound I'm Hearin' (Which Is STILL Just As Subjective As Anything Else, I Guess...)
So Anyway - IF I Was To Write It Out, It Would Look Somethin' Like THIS:
EXCELLENT - Just What It SAYS - Top Notch, Stellar, Awesome - Hardly, Anyone Would Argue It's Sound Quality OR Record Labels Could Release Tomorrow With Little To No Effort...
What I Call "The Damn Near-Perfect Bootleg!"
GREAT - Just Under The Wire Of Excellent - Some Minor Flaws Hold It Back, Etc.
REALLY GOOD - A Notch Below Great - Too Many Minor Flaws Or Even A Major One Or Two...
DECENT - Listenable & Even Enjoyable, BUT Probably NOT a Keeper, EXCEPT to Collectors Of That Particular Group, Etc.
GOOD - Listenable, But Just Barely...
FAIR - Awful, Terrible - Somethin' You Don't Want!
The Biggest Problem With THIS Bootleg IS:
It's Tracked Into Too Many Files (21 on CD 1 Alone!)
FLAC Would Be Much Better For All Those Transitions, So IF You Find It, Grab It!
The Band's Performance More Than Makes Up For Any Sound Quality Issues...

One Of My Favorite Blogs (Other Than This One, Of Course...) Is This ONE:

Infinitefool Always Has Something Eclectic (And Sometimes Electric) And Most Definitely Interesting Goin' On Over There...
That's Where I Picked Up This Wonderful HEART Bootleg!
Recently Saw Some Neil Young (A Favorite Over There!) And Some Stephen Stills, Dead & Miles Davis, As Well As Todd Rundgren And Utopia, Jefferson Starship, Stones, Etc.
Go Check It Out!

This Is A Great FM Recording From The Capitol in Passaic, NJ Back in '79!
This Is The Classic Heart As You And I Remember Them...
From The Dog & Butterfly Tour...Featuring The Classic Line-Up!
This Thing Rocks!
And Just Take A Look At That Setlist...
You Can't Ask For Much More Out Of A Bootleg Than This!
You Get Some Slow Songs & Fast Ones & Mid-Tempo Rockers All in One Package!
The Opening One-Two Punch Of Cook With Fire & High Time Sets The Tone For The Show...
Devil Delight Just Simmers & Smolders & Burns To The Core And When Ann Screams "The Devil" It Just Sends Shivers Up Your Spine!
NOTE: There Is One Small Cut During Mistrial Wind (Probably a Tape Flip*) BUT, It Goes By About As Smoothly As Possible!

Billy Squier, Esq...

2012-01-28T08:09:00.000-05:00

NOTE: This IS a Re-Post With a NEW LINK By Rich (THANKS!)
This Is a Fairly Early one - 1981 - in Squier's career!
He was still doing songs from Tale Of The Tape, Much to my Pleasure...
It was One Of Those Records You Could Play Side 1 - Listen, Play Side 2 - Listen, Repeat As Often As Possible!

He was touring in support of his LP Don't Say No!
I believe this was right before The Stroke Hit BIG!

From Wiki: Perhaps his most enduringly popular song, this was Squier's first single, reaching #17 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It was an even bigger hit at rock radio, hitting #3 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Squier's song even dented the British pop charts, rising to #52. It was named the 59^th best hard rock song of all time by VH1.

The song is a reference to the music industry and how musicians are used by an industry wanting more and bigger hits, and the concept of "strokes" from transactional analysis. It is not, as was widely but erroneously believed, about masturbation.

Excellent FM Broadcast from San Fran!
Billy goes back and forth between LPs easily during The Show...
You Should Be High is Billy's Tribute to Led Zep...
And with The Big Beat From The Late Great
Bobby Chouinard (June 26th 1953 - March 8th 1997),
It Simply Sounds Awesome!

Here's Black Stone Cherry one Of My Favorite Hard Rock Groups (Who Just Happen To Be From My Ol' Kentucky Home {State})!
Now It's ALL Acoustic, But BSC DO NOT Shy Away From ANY of Their Hardest Rockin' Material When Playin' Acoustically...And The Interaction Between Band and Audience IS Great!
The Sound Quality Is Excellent!
It must Be an FM or Webcast Thingy, Live In The Studio Kinda Thing...Very Cool!
And, The Last Song Just Has To Be Heard To Be Believed!
'Nuff Said!

MORE Acoustical Jam Band, Man!

2012-01-28T01:30:00.001-05:00

Here's ANOTHER Tesla Acoustical Jam...Probably The Last Of Those Recorded Back in 1990, But NOT Used For The Final Official Release!
It's ANOTHER One From JCGM97, As Well - So The Sound Quality's Great!
It Was Recorded Off The Radio So It's a Wonderful FM Sound!
I've Included 2 Versions Below:
1) COMPLETE - Means The Whole Works - DJ Chatter And Station Logo Between Certain Songs During Tuning...
2) EDITED - Means NO DJ Chatter Or Station Logo...So You Don't Miss Any Of The Music On This Version!

NOTE: This IS a Re-Post...

Here's Somethin' You Just Don't See (OR Hear!) That Often!
It's Bernie Tormé From Reading '82!
It's a FM Radio Broadcast, BUT...
There's Just NOT That Many Tormé Boots Flyin' Around...
So, I'll Say This IS a GOOD FM - Because...
There's an Underlying Static Buried Deep In The Background, As IF The Radio Wasn't Quite Tuned In Properly - You Really Feel It More Than Hear It...
The Music's Still Way Out Front, And Bernie's Guitar Cuts Through Everything In The Distance Anyway, BUT, Still It's There...
IF That Wasn't There It Would Be Excellent...
But Still, All That Said I Thoroughly Enjoyed The Performance, Especially His Take On Wild Thing As the Closer...

2012-01-28T01:07:00.001-05:00

NOTE: This IS a Re-Post...

Bernie Tormé Is Probably BEST Known For His Guitar Work With GILLAN...
But, Back In The '80s, He Put Together a Band Called The Electric Gypsies!
AND, He Toured, As The Replacement (NOTE: NOT The Right Word I'm Lookin' For, BUT, You KNOW What I Mean...) For Randy Rhodes (Briefly) Before Brad Gillis Took Over on OZZY's Diary Of A MadMan Tour!

Recorded By The BBC for Their IN CONCERT Series...
This Is a FM Radio Broadcast!
Live From London's Paris Theatre - 1982.
The Electric Gypsies Were a Three (3) Piece Band (Counting Bernie!) And They Remind Me Of The Kinda Music The Jon Butcher Axis Was Makin' Around The Same Time...
Strong Guitar Blues-Based Rock!
Also, Has Great Vocals And Songs - NOT Just Excuses for Guitar Solos, BUT "Real" Songs!
Short But Very Strong Set!
Big THANKS To PE_35 for Postin' This Show @ G101...All I Did Was Put Together The Artwork...

I Just Logged on and Learned about Mark's Death...
I Was Shocked To Say The Least...
I LOVED Riot's First Several Albums...
Whichever Singer, Mark Was ALWAYS Right There Among All The Line-Up Changes...He WAS The ONE Constant, And You Gotta Really Respect a Guy Who NEVER Gives In Or Gives Up!
He WAS Riot, After All!
Thank You Mark and ALL Associated With The Band Over The Years - YOU Have Improved MY Life Through Music!

The community spirit here at HRC is amazing.Here's more from Buckeye.
Really cool this,Whitesnake tour rehearsals.I love this stuff.
Maybe when record companies and bands realise this is what the fans want (after we've bought all the official stuff) they can stop moaning.Over to you Buck.
"Recorded at an unknown location on an unknown date. All I know is that it's an EXCELLENT soundboard from 1982."
Buck's sending in so much stuff I haven't got time for my own.

Cheers Bro!

Another set sent in by Buckeye.
He's spoiling us with UFO here at HRC.
He's added his own artwork too.
Here he is...
"Another one from UFO (I love this band!!!!).(SO DO WE)
Live in Birmingham, January 26, 1981. Yet another of those "was it recorded on a cheap recorder & cassette,
or a really hi-gen soundboard" shows. This show cooks, because it features Paul "Tonka" Chapman on guitar!
Man, could that guy tear it up in the day or what! I did the artwork myself a few years back, so if it sucks,
don't blame Rocket or Smoker."
Well another great show,Thanks Buck.

Alright, due to overwhelming demand here's the last two of the Classic Album series.I've had tweets,emails,harassed on facebook,and even people at my door begging for more of this stuff.
Or I could've just made all that up and I just wanna SHARE!!!
First up, one of the best selling albums of all time.
Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd.
Or if you're quite relaxed, Dark Side by The Floyd, Maaannnn...

Night Of The Wolf...

2012-01-25T13:42:00.000-05:00

Here's another excellent upload sent in by Buckeye.
When their 1st album came out they were slated as a Led Zep rip off.Even called Kingdom Clone.
I remember reading that
Lenny Wolf denied even having heard of Zep.
Personally I think this was just the famous German humour we hear so much about!!
Here's Buck..."Here's a band I've never seen on HRC
- Kingdom Come. Even though their popularity in
the States isn't what it used to be (they were hot in '88),
they still seem to be pretty big in Europe. This one's an
FM broadcast from Swiss (or is it Suisse?) radio,
so the sound quality is damn good."
Quality Hard Rock.

Also, Supposed to be some 1st Solo LP Outtakes as well, But Really Couldn't Tell You Which Is Which!

If You're a Petty Fan - You'll Want This!
Overall - Real Good Sound Quality (1 or 2 Not Quite Up To The Overall Standards) But, It's Just Interestin' To Hear The Man At Such an Early Time In His Long & Successful Career...

Too Many Reality (Yeah Right?) Shows Is ALL That Seems to be on...
And, To ME, They're ALL Boring!
Maybe It's JUST Me? Don't Know - But, I Don't Watch Much Television, BUT, I WILL Listen To Them...

Nice SBD Recording (Although The First Song The Vocals are a Little Low, But That Gets Fixed By The Sound Guy, I Reckon, Rather Quickly...) From Tom Verlaine (Oh He Of The Plexiglass Guitar) And Crew!
Is It Punk? Rock? New Wave? Rock & Roll? - It's ALL That And More! Plus Some Cool Covers!
Here, on these 2 Discs, you get a Show and a Half...
The Main Attraction Is The Dec. 29th Concert And Then Some More Songs From Another Dec. '76 Show As Well!
NOTE: We're Tryin' Different File Hosts While Things Are In Turmoil, after the MU Deal...AND, Now It Seems Filesonic Is ONLY Open for Their Registered Users:

This one I upped to Mediafire, And Will Still Be Using Multiupload As Well (Probably)...

Nice compilation from back in the 80's.
Various bands from various venues in Glasgow as captured by Radio Clyde.
Now I don't know what's up with Tom Russell while introducing these tracks.
He's a bit shouty to say the least.
Maybe he was forced to do some overtime.Maybe he was in a hurry to get to the pub? I dunno...
So, from Marillion to Whitesnake have a Rockin' Time!!
Thanks to Kevin for the tape.

Title post translation = Yes,More Nazareth...
Very short but very sweet (audio) performance from Nazareth.
In front of a studio audience.Don't know too much about this TV programme.Seems it was a different artist every week shown on Scottish television.
Funnily enough this is introduced by Jay Crawford.Who did a Rock Show on Radio Forth (Edinburgh) back in the 80's.Somebody else I grew up listening to.He went on to become a big player in radio land.
Just read recently he is unwell.So get well soon man.
And thanks for not playing Kiss when I wrote in to the show...no hard feelings! LOL.

This time Beggar's Banquet by The Rolling Stones.
Another show broadcast on BBC Radio 6.Just to let you know these shows were broadcast years ago, probably on BBC Radio 1 or 2.They were rebroadcast,I think, last year when I grabbed them.

Here's another upload sent in by Buckeye.The Man's on fire!
I'll let him tell you what it's all about.

"Since there seems to be a flood of Seger boots
on HRC (one from '73, and another from his most recent
tour), here's one from about the middle of that road. Recorded
in Providence, RI March 2, 1996, it's a great sounding
audience recording from when Bob was starting to get
burned out a bit ( IMO). But don't worry - you get all
the good stuff here from his career. It's a two disc set,
but all are included in one file".
Another cracking show.
All I had to do was make some artwork for this baby.
I also evened up the cd's so they're pretty much equal length.
Thanks Buck.

2012-01-18T17:40:00.002-05:00

Here's another vintage Friday Rock Show for you.
This one dated 3rd July 1987.
The show features live sets from Wasp,Warlock & Saxon.
All originally from 1986 I believe.So...once again, relive your youth
or check out what UK Rockers were listening to back then.

NOTE: I Love The Fact That WE at HRC CAN Give TWO Perspectives on Rock Music! From The U.S. and the U.K.
I, Personally, Never heard the Friday Rock Shows That smoker & others heard, except for NOW in these Awesome Recordings - I DID have a great Rock Station in S.C. (Z96) + a Cool College Station (University Of South Carolina) to Listen to...Rocket

Here's a Band I'd Heard Of, BUT Never Heard!
They fall Squarely in the Category of AOR - Along the lines of Giuffria... In Fact It's Rumored That Gregg Had a Hand in Producing Some Of Their Music Including These 3rd Album Demos, Which are Unreleased!
You Can Get To Their Website By CLICKin' The Photo Below:

On Their Web Pages You Can Learn About Their Past:
During the heyday of early 80's "Hollywood Hair Metal", there was a core group of bands destined to become the next big rock and roll heavyweights. Mötley Crüe, Ratt, and Great White, you probably already are familiar with... but there was another group. One that some of these bands even opened for a few times.
That group was ... WHITE SISTER
Internal problems and fate would eventually tear the band apart shortly after they were signed by EMI America in 1984. Despite it all, White Sister managed to attain a legendary cult status that has not faded to this day.
As Well As Their Future Plans...
6 (Six) Studio Quality Tracks of Quality AOR!

Down For The Count...

2012-01-18T06:30:00.007-05:00

This is a Great FM Radio Broadcast Recording from the King Biscuit Flower Hour - Live from The Agora Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio!
It's Franke & The Knockouts (Pre-"the Hitman" Tico Torres {Bon Jovi}) I Believe He Joined The Following Year...
They Were a Pop/Rock Outfit:
From http://www.frankeandtheknockouts.com/
Franke Previte was born in New Brunswick, N.J.
In the early ‘80s, Franke decided to combine his rock and R&B roots for some blue-eyed soul-style rock ‘n’ roll, and started Franke & the Knockouts. The band was signed to Millenium Records (RCA), and its first hit single, SWEETHEART, reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1981. YOU’RE MY GIRL and WITHOUT YOU (NOT ANOTHER LONELY NIGHT) quickly followed, topping the charts at #14 and #16 respectively.

When the president of the label, Jimmy Ienner, decided to close his label in 1985, Franke & the Knockout were sold to MCA, which released the band’s third and final album, Makin the Point.

Late in 1986, Franke was contacted by the same Jimmy Ienner to write a song for a little movie called DIRTY DANCING, and so the song (I’VE HAD) THE TIME OF MY LIFE was written. Franke’s other DIRTY DANCING hit, HUNGRY EYES, originally had been on Previte's demo reel as a new Franke & the Knockouts track while he was shopping for a new record deal for the band. “Hungry Eyes” found its home in DIRTY DANCING, and became Franke’s second smash hit for the film. The song “(I've) Had The Time Of My Life” earned Previte an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Grammy nomination."

Short, But Great, Set of Power Pop Goodness!

Everyone Remember the Movie: Eddie and the Cruisers...
From IMdb:
"Maggie Foley is a reporter who's interviewing the surviving members of a rock band whose music is being revived. Memories of the band's leader Eddie Wilson are being relived as Frank Ridgeway is reunited with the old members of the band. As the memories are relived on the screen, it becomes clear that someone is looking for the lost unpublished tapes of the band's final recording and that someone might be Eddie! "
Well, John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band Supplied the Music, Playing the part of the mysterious rock band in the flick...

On The Dark Side was a Big Radio Hit For Them...(always reminded me of Springsteen...)
So, IF you like your Rock & Roll With That Heartland-Working-Class-Small-Town-Bar-Band Sound (Sax and All!) Like "The Boss" and Southside Johnny, The Michael Stanley Band, Then, These Guys are for YOU!
Excellent FM Radio Recording from 1986...Recorded Live on the Southern Illinois University Campus in Carbondale, Illinois!

Another Great Rose Tattoo, IF You Don't Have It - Grab It NOW!
This Show "Commodore 78" reminded me of How Far we've Come in the Computer Dept.

Instantly it reminded me of the old Commodore 64 - With a Whopping 64 KB Memory..."Who would ever need more?"
And Did You KNOW: They Are Still In Business with a NEW "Old" Model?

NOT sure about this computer mag? What it is They were Tryin' to Get Across OR Just Sell Some Mags Based on the Front Cover?
Just thought it was weird & interesting!

Also, While We're At It, some of you may remember the TANDY line of computers sold through Radio Shack...

Check that setlist out! DAMN!
The Tats do many songs you'd expect, and a few you might not, BUT, they give them ALL the Rose Tattoo Stamp of Excellence!

Here's a nice UFO show sent in by Buckeye.This is what he has to say about it.
"Haven't seen alot of UFO boots pop up around HRC lately, so here's one from Fresno, CA 4/15/80.Either a crappy FM recording (you know, like on one of those cheapo recorders -w- a cheapo tape) or a really good audience recording (using good equipment with a good tape). Nice sound either way, so enjoy this gem of a show from the No Where To Run tour."
Thanks Buck!

More Y & T sent in by my and your good friend...Buckeye.Of course he's going to tell you a bit about it right now."Great soundboard from the mighty Y&T!
Not the classic line-up, but the Menneniketi/Kennemore/DeGrasso/Burns line-up. They still kick ass,
even though it's in a smaller venue (where, I don't know).
All I know it's from San RaFael, CA 3-8-98,
touring behind the Endangered Species disc."
Another Rockin' Y & T show to add to your collections! Thanks Buck!

Hometown Heroes...

2012-01-15T12:37:00.002-05:00

Well last night was a trip out to see Nazareth play a charity gig in their hometown.Dunfermline,Scotland.We had to travel over the water and into enemy territory.(It's a football thing) if you're into football.
Me,Brian & Beastie officially known as "The Rock Club".Also Beastie's mate Big Dave (guitar and getting trucks stuck under bridges) along with Brian's son, up and coming Rock vocalist,Young Scott.
So off we headed to see Scotland's best and most legendary Rock Band about 30 mins from home,so that was cool.
This is a Hear Rock City exclusive as this is my recording of the show.
It's for all the Naz fans here and for anybody who's into quality Rock music.
I'm happy with the recording I think it turned out great.I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Finally had the settings set correctly.(you should always read the manual!!)
This will not be posted anywhere else so if somebody takes it and posts it on another site give us a namecheck.
This is the mp3 version I will post it in flac later in the week.
Enjoy and Keep Rockin'!!

Chatbox

2012-01-15T12:14:00.000-05:00

As you know we have gotten some nasty comments on the chatbox.
We have an idea of who it is.
The person or persons are well known for this type of thing.
They go from site to site annoying people and winding them up.
Any sites they have been a part of have contained nothing but drama.
They've also been booted from numerous sites.The best thing to do is just ignore it and don't reply
until Rocket can boot them from chat or disable it for a while.
There is no need for anybody to leave the site because of this.
We all love HRC and nobody is going to spoil it for us.
The music will continue...Keep Rockin'

Classic Album

2012-01-13T15:57:00.001-05:00

Another classic album another BBC radio 6 broadcast.
Hear the story of this album as told by Tom himself.
Record company troubles, courtroom dramas all add up to help make this a great album.
If anybody has the chance seek out the "Running Down A Dream" film by Peter Bogdanovich.One of the greatest music doc's ever made.

Eric And Albert...

2012-01-13T14:02:00.001-05:00

Tape Rip.
BBC Radio 1 Broadcast.
Eric Clapton & orchestra live at The Royal Albert Hall back in 1990.
This was the last show of his series of gigs there.
Listening to this it's missing the second part of the show.Which was a couple of specially written pieces for guitar and orchestra.
Anyway...what is here is rather fine.
Clapton playing perfectly as usual and nicely augmented by the orchestra.
I know a few bands have done the orchestral thing now but I guess it was pretty new back then?
Thanks to Kevin for the tape.

Here's one Buckeye sent in and this is what he had to say about it,
"Excellent sounding double set from Y&T kicking ass at the TT Festival (I believe), June 24, 2009. It's an audience recording but it's EXCELLENT sounding! The band touch on damn near every disc they've ever done, including Down For The Count and Ten. Did I mention this was excellent sounding?"
He's right, this is one of those powerful audience recordings you don't come across too often.
Dave's feeling a little under the weather at this show.You wouldn't know it tho' as he still Rocks to the max!
Thanks to whoever recorded and shared this one,it's great.Thanks Buck.

Vinyl Rip.
Some 80's Glam for you here.I bought this album when it came out back in '85.I mean,look at the cover why wouldn't I...!!
This is darker and heavier than what most Hair/Glam Metal bands were doing.
I was looking for this on cd to buy but it seems to be rarer than a Hard Rockin' Bon Jovi album these days.
It has been released on cd w/bonus tracks but I can't find it.
So here it is, another could've should've made it band.
This album doesn't feature track 4 "On The Run".
Roadrunner label 1985.

2012-01-08T12:05:00.001-05:00

Vinyl Rip.
Bought this when it came out and I still give it a spin occasionally.
Cool little mini album from 1984 on the Ultra Noise label.
Don't know too much about these guys (and girl).
I did find out that the singer Frank Starr went on to sing for The Four Horsemen.
Unfortunately he died in a motorcycle accident in 1999.
So,enjoy this little slice of Space Metal? see you on the other side.

Here's an album I really like.Some cool stuff from Ike & Tina Turner.It's got a bit of everything as the post title suggests.Sounds to me like Mother's Finest would've been influenced by this kind of record.
Mixin' Soul with Rock etc.
There's some big hits on here & some cool cover versions.
If you're not jumping around to "Baby Get It On" you haven't got dancing feet at the end of your legs!!Compilation is from 1984 and is on the Stateside label.

Here's one long time contributor Buckeye sent in.This is what he has to say about it.
"Radio broadcast of Lynyrd Skynyrd from their grand opening of the Beer & BBQ in Las Vegas, NV, December 8, 2011. Small crowd (only 300 were invited), so it's a pretty intimate show."
Excellent stuff from the legendary Skynyrd.
Thanks Buckeye.
It's funny, but me Rocket and Buck go back a few years.

Say What You Will About Chuck Berry, Call Him An Asshole (Which Would Probably Be Well Deserved!) Say He's A One Trick Pony (But, Damned If He Didn't Ride That Horse All The Way To The Bank And Into Rock N Roll History, When We Wasn't Drivin' Into Town In a Big, Long Cadillac, That Is...) Call Him a Tax Evader (Yep, He Even Pleaded Guilty to That One!) Call Him A Junkie & Pervert (And Those Titles Have Fit Him, As Well...) BUT, Don't Forget to Call Him One Of The Greatest Rock Innovators Ever, While You're Talkin' About Chuck!
Probably One Of The Saddest, Most Unbelievable Things To Happen To Chuck Berry Over The Years Is The Fact That He Had ONLY 1(One) Single to Hit The Number One (1) Spot on The Charts - And That That Record WAS - My Ding-A-Ling!

Here's a Great Soundin' Show From The BBC!
It was Recorded Back in '72 in London As a TV Broadcast...
So The Sound Quality's Great, And Surprisingly The Is Pretty Tight!
The Band, Rocking Horse Do A Great Job Backin' Up Chuck (Heh! Heh! I Said Upchuck...)...
Usually His Concert Are Pretty Loose Affairs, Where He Takes Off On a Riff And Whatever Band's Behind Him Just Follows Along The Best They Can...

Marc Would Go Off On Weird Guitar Rants Right In The Middle Of A Song...

Alice Cooper Live In New Orleans - 1973!
Plus a Few Bonus Tracks From Portland, Oregon From About a Month Later...
Believe It Or Not (Ripley) BUT, This One's Got A Really Good Sound For '73!
It's a SBD From The Old Days - Not Perfect, Not Crystal Clear, But The Few Flaws Are Easily Overlooked For A Killer Show Like This One From Back When Alice Cooper Was a BAND!

From Wiki:
The classic Alice Cooper group line-up consisted of singer Alice Cooper (Vincent Furnier), lead guitarist Glen Buxton, rhythm guitarist Michael Bruce, bassist Dennis Dunaway and drummer Neal Smith. With the exception of Smith, who graduated from Camelback High School (which is referred to in the song "Alma Mater" on the album School's Out), all of the band members were on the Cortez High School cross-country team, and many of Cooper's stage effects were inspired by their cross-country coach, Emmett Smith (one of Smith's class projects was to build a working guillotine for slicing watermelons). Cooper, Buxton and Dunaway were also art students, and their admiration for the works of surrealist artists such as Salvador Dalí would further inspire their future stage antics.

Anyway, this is Gary Moore from the TV show Sight & Sound back in '84.Tearing it up as usual.
The cover...I was hoping to find a pic of Gary smiling.So I could prove to G-Atari that he did smile sometimes.Couldn't really find one.Guess Gary just wasn't the smiling type LOL!!
Enjoy...

Hope Everyone Had Some Great New Year's Fun, And Is Ready To Give 2012 a Go!
This 1st Post Of The NEW YEAR was sent in by Feelgood (Thanks, I Thought I Had Everything by Rose Tattoo...)!
He Also Passed Some Info Along With It (And The Complete Artwork!):

Citation from Rose Tattoo's official website (BIO - 1993):

"Around 1979, Mick and Georgie took leave of absence and the band continued on as a tour piece with guitar godfather and the early seventies' leader of Melbourne's infamous Coloured Balls Lobby Loyd on incredibly loud bass.
That lineup went to the U.S. in 1980 and recorded in the Hollywood studios of ex-patriot Australian hard rock king, Billy Thorpe. Those sessions which included the use of synthesizers and backward guitar techniques were the advance blueprint for the 1982 album. Scared For Life have never been released and remain in the vaults. In 1981, the band regrouped, recorded the Assault And Battery album and carried out a search and destroy mission on Europe and the U.K. to capitalize on the glowing response imported copies of the first album had received in those parts.

Liner notes for the "Nice Boys Don´t Play Rock´n´Roll" Compilation 1992 by Murray Engleheart"

Rose Tattoo "The Lost Album" also know as Scarred for Life The Lost Album

RoseTattoo-TheLostAlbum
LINKS Removed By Request
Can you take down the Rose Tattoo "Lost Album" please?
Aztec Music are planning an official remastered release of this album for later this year with the complete cooperation of Angry Anderson.
As the only surviving member of this particular RT line up, he is waiving his own royalties and is planning to split any profits between the families of his deceased former band mates.
To have the album posted here may deprive the families of Loyde, Royall and Wells of that income.
Thanks,
Cobb

Feelgood Also Sent This One Along For The Ride As Well...
(Used to be Posted Here on the Blog a Long, Long Time Ago...)
With More Great Info On The Band:
Great collection of rare B-Sides, a BBC Radio 1 studio session and alternate versions from the bands classic era.
No Tatts collection is complete without it.
A notorious Australian Rock n' Roll institution founded in Sydney during 1976. With AC/DC's global success opening the doors many Australian acts, the heavily tattooed ROSE TATTOO's raucous street level brand of slide guitar driven highly charged Rock won over many fans. Front man Angry Anderson, bald, tattooed and mean, is an instantly recognisable figure across the world. However, his rebellious persona has another side as Angry Anderson's work with youth projects and as a cultural ambassador for his country has earnt him the Order of Australia medal. The original ROSE TATTOO, created by former BAND OF LIGHT bassist Ian Rilen, consisted of vocalist Tony Lake, ex-BUFFALO guitarist Pete Wells, rhythm guitarist Leigh Johnston and drummer Michael 'Stork' Vandersluys. Wells had previously been bassist with BUFFALO and appears on four albums.
Before long both Lake and Johnston were out and in came guitarist Mick Cocks and the diminutive ex-BUSTER BROWN singer Gary 'Angry' Anderson. Although small of stature, Angry's image and demeanour perfectly suited his character and gave ROSE TATTOO a unique focal point. ROSE TATTOO put in their inaugural live performance on new year's eve 1976. The band's early live sets included numerous covers including the ROLLING STONES' 'Street Fighting Man' but by mid 1977 the band had enough original material to go into the studio.
Working with the famous Harry Vanda and George Young partnered Albert Productions team, upon recommendation from AC/DC's Bon Scott, the band, now with another former BUSTER BROWN man Dallas 'Digger' Royall on drums, cut the 'Bad Boy For Love' single. However, just as the single was issued in October of 1977 founder member Rilen opted out to create Punk band X. Although 'Bad Boy For Love' entered the Australian top twenty the band were undergoing line-up ructions. Down to a quartet, Cocks manoeuvred over to bass until another BUFFALO refugee Chris Turner stood in on guitar. Eventually Anderson & Royal's BUSTER BROWN colleague Geordie Leach filled the four string position allowing Cocks to go back to guitar.
ROSE TATTOO hit the Australian club scene and soon became steadfast favourites. The debut album, again produced by Vanda and Young, 'Rose Tattoo' was issued in November 1978 provided a quite awesome statement of intent. The band also contributed two live tracks, 'Bad Boy For Love' and 'Rock n' Roll Outlaw', to the 'Canned Rock' compilation.
Leach quit the band in early 1979 to be followed shortly after by Cocks. ROSE TATTOO retired to rebuild itself and by October had announced a fresh line-up of Anderson, Wells, Royall, and former COLOURED BALLS, BUSTER BROWN, PURPLE HEARTS and WILD CHERRIES bassist LOBBY LLOYDE. By 1991 Leach was a member of the reformed SOUTHERN LIGHTNING.
ROSE TATTOO meantime issued an independent single in 1980 with this line-up 'Realise Legalise', a split single in aid of Marijuana legalisation in alliance with Colin Peterson. The same year ROSE TATTOO recorded an album in Los Angeles, which to this day has never been released. Undaunted though, by the end of the year ROSE TATTOO had secured international major label deals although a further setback occurred when Lloyde left the band. Leach was quickly re-enlisted in time for shows in Europe where the 'Rock n' Roll Outlaw' single was charting in Britain, France and Germany.
ROSE TATTOO arrived in Britain at the height of the Punk explosion and the band's image certainly assisted their cause in a climate obsessed with street culture. The band put in two sold out gigs at London's Marquee club and appeared at the prestigious Reading festival. Demand for the band in Europe was high and in 1981 ROSE TATTOO guested for RAINBOW.
The band's debut album was retitled 'Rock n' Roll Outlaw' for the European market where its follow up 'Assault And Battery', released in September 1981, also saw strong sales and generated a brace of Australian hit singles with 'Out Of This Place' and 'Manzil Madness'. In spite of their progress the band's line-up remained fluid as that same month Cocks bailed out to join HEAVEN, his position being taken by ex-REDHOUSE man Robin Riley. The projected recording schedule was put on ice though when Riley broke his arm in a motorbike accident.
'Scarred For Life' in 1982 enhanced ROSE TATTOO's standing in Australia where it went on to sell nearly 100'000 copies producing a hit single 'We Can't Be Beaten'. ROSE TATTOO put in their first American dates by guesting for ZZ TOP and AEROSMITH. The escalating upward turn of events did not prevent the band splintering once again though and in early 1983 Wells, Royal and Riley jumped ship. Wells founded SCATTERED ACES with his former BUFFALO vocalist Chris Turner issuing the 'Six Pack' EP in 1984.

2011-12-31T12:44:00.005-05:00

Here's a nice show from the boys of Y & T back in '85.
The audio from this show comes from their old vhs home video.So the quality's good.
I really liked them during the Earthshaker & Black Tiger era.
(Saw them when they supported AC/DC back in '82)
Two excellent Hard Rockin' classics.
Meanstreak was pretty good as well.
After that I thought their albums were pretty hit and miss but they were and still are excellent live.
So slide in that cd and crank it up!

Again I really liked the early Bon Jovi albums.Good Melodic Rock and Keep The Faith was a good album.After this one when's the last time they made a great album?These Days had a couple of good tunes but after that I'm scratching my head as to their next good rockin' album.
Who's buying their stuff now,housewives?
So,enjoy this one in front of a massive crowd, it's a good listen.

Now, EVERYBODY Should Have this ONE in Their CD Collection...
SO, NO - I'm NOT Postin' This One:
You Can BUY It Here, If'n You Ain't Got It!
I'm Gonna GO You One BETTER!
Tesla Started The UNPLUGGED Craze Some Years Back...
No, They Weren't The 1st Band To Do Acoustic Music In their Sets - Wings, Queen & Other Bands Would Sit Down For a Portion Of Their Show To Do Some Acoustic Songs...
BUT, Tesla Was Probably The 1st To Take Their ROCK Songs and Release A WHOLE CD Of Nothin' But Acoustic Songs - That's Just Crazy! And, If Not For Signs, It Mighta Been a Huge Flop...
Take a CLOSE Look At THIS Back Cover - You Can CLICK It To Enlarge...
NOTICE The Part Marked Through...

Well, Here's That ORIGINAL Show They Were Considerin' Releasin' All Those Years Ago!
Recorded Live At The Ritz In New York City!
Apparently Tesla Changed Their Minds And Released The OTHER Show As Five Man Acoustical Jam (Known Hear-in And Here-out AS 5MAJ)...BUT, Here's THAT 1st ONE!

Now I'm Sure Tesla's Tapes Recorded That Night Are Much Better Than This, BUT, I Gotta Tell Ya - THIS is One Mighty Fine FM Radio Broadcast Recording!
And, It's A Helluva Show As Well!
While Similar To The 5MAJ, But Very Different Also!
*Bet Some Of You Already Jumped Down To The D/L Links Already*
They Start Off With Cumin' Atcha Live (With Truckin' Included) Just Like 5MAJ...
One Difference Is Frank Hannon Plays a Bit Of Heart's Crazy On You During The Lead-In To Love Song...And Then Plays The Solo To The End With an Electric Guitar!
Also, And This Is Cool As Hell - Don Dokken Shows Up For an Acoustic Breakin' The Chains! And And Even Ultra Cooler George Lynch Blues!
IF You Read This Far - DAMN!
D/L THIS NOW!
A Fun Fun Cool Show!

Here's a Really Good FM Radio Broadcast Recording From The Red Rocker From The Standing Hampton Tour Back in '82 From Glasgow!

smoker and I Are Separated By an Ocean, But Not Much Else...Lots Of Similarities in Our Lives, Even Though We Grew Up A Long Ways Apart...Also, We've Never Met In-Person (Just Through Mail & Such...)!
Another Coincidence: We BOTH Live Near a Glasgow! Seriously!
Glasgow, Kentucky & Glasgow, Scotland!
From Wiki:
Glasgow is a city in and the county seat of Barren County, Kentucky, United States. The population was 14,200 at the 2000 census. The city is well-known for its annual Scottish Highland Games. In 2007, Barren County was named the number one rural place to live by Progressive Farmer magazine. Glasgow is the principal city of the Glasgow Micropolitan Statistical Area, which includes all of Barren and Metcalfe counties.

Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and third most populous in the United Kingdom. The city is situated on the River Clyde in the country's west central lowlands. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries Glasgow grew to a population of over one million, and was the fourth-largest city in Europe, after London, Paris and Berlin...successive boundary changes, have reduced the current population of the City of Glasgow council area to 592,000. The city has many amenities for a wide range of cultural activities, from curling to opera and ballet and from football to art appreciation; it also has a large selection of museums that include those devoted to transport, religion, and modern art. Many of the city's cultural sites were celebrated in 1990 when Glasgow was designated European City of Culture

This Show's NOT Perfect But It Sounds Real Good Quality-Wise, And Hell The Concert Itself - It's Sammy! YOu Know what To Expect!
I Always Loved Sammy Solo - After Montrose and Before Van Halen - Although, HSAS Was A Neat Little Side Project...
The 1st Song - Heavy Metal Is Cut Short From The Beginning - It's ONLY about 1:20 Or So...
But, After That - Nothin' But Red Thunder!

2011-12-31T12:00:00.000-05:00

Who Was It That Told Me About This Band?
Junkyard - I'd Never Heard Of Them, Much Less, Their Music!
Damn You! Whoever You Are, 'Cause Now I Got Another "New" Favorite Band AND I Can't Stop 'Til I've Heard a Bunch Of Their Music...
Besides Rival Sons, Junkyard IS About ALL I've Been Listenin' To These Past Few Days...
These Bootlegs And I Even Went And Bought Shut Up! We're Trying To Practice Offa Amazon...And It's Simply Awesome!
I'm Not Really Sure How To Describe Their Music & Songs & Style, But Here Goes:
They Got That Badass Swagger To Them...Kinda Like L.A. Guns Had That Sleazy, Gutter Type Music - Those Guitars & Everything Workin' Together Like A Hyped-Up Stones Or Super-Charged Aerosmith...
And The Singer's Got A Voice Like No One I've Ever Heard - It's Different, But Good Different!

This Is An Excellent Soundin' FM Radio Broadcast Recording From The Westwood One Folks...
From Their High Voltage Series...It's ALSO from 1989 (Seems I've Posted a Bunch From That Year Lately!)...
It's Just 6 Songs, But, DAMN! What a Set Of Songs It Is!
Simple Man (NOT The Skynyrd Tune) IS One Of My Absolute Favorites Of Theirs!
Also, Misery Loves Company Is Rockin' And Quite Catchy & Very Tuneful...It's Been Playin' In My Head Long After The Headphones Are Off!
IF You Don't Know About THIS Group - D/L This One!
It's a Small D/L - A Great Introduction To A Great Band!

*The Sound Fluctuates Some In Places

WELL, Now I've Given It a 2nd Listen - And DAMN! These Guys Are Smokin' Hot!
Everything You'd Want From Hard Rock Is Here...I Mean They are Bombastic!

Well, Not All - 'Cause Remember THIS Is Just a Sampler! (6 Songs, 25 Minutes...)

smoker IS Right On On THIS One (He's Got One Helluva Track Record For Pickin' Some Winners!)!

smoker says,
"Promo Cd that came with a recent issue of Classic Rock magazine. Rival Sons-6 Trax. Now I don't know how many cd's I've got from the magazine. I hardly listen to any of them. Who's gonna compare to all the classic bands I love? Thought I'd give it a spin as they're playing w/Queensryche & Judas Priest in July which I'm going to. And?...Yeah this band ROCKS!!! If you like your Rock retro but fresh soundin' grab an earful of this. Best new band I've heard in a long time."

Warrant Rock Out Live & Loud In The Excellent FM Radio Broadcast Recording!
It was Recorded In May of 1989, So, This Was Before Cherry Pie Really Broke Them (In More Ways Than One) Into The Mainstream Music Listenin' Public!
Sure They'd Had a Top Ten Hit With Heaven, But Not Like The Attention They Got With That One Single & Video...But, They Soldiered On And Produced More Great Music in Its Aftermath, As Well!

Paul Kossoff Was a Master Of Start-Stop Guitar Riffs...Leaving Holes For The Drums & Pauls's Mighty Vocals To Fill in Its Wake...All Handled With Grit & Expertise...
Sometimes - LESS Is MORE!
Hear Fire And Water & Alright Now as just 2 Examples From This Real Good SBD Bootleg...
But, Remember It's From 1970, So While It's Really Good, It's Not Perfect Or Stellar...But The Excellent Music Makes Up For Any Flaws Or Shortcomings in this SBD Recording...

Tape Rip.From the Radio Clyde Rock Show (Glasgow) back in '84.
Gary Moore still in his Rock/Metal phase and as we all know he was one of the guitar greats.
Not the complete concert and it fades out near the end of Empty Rooms.But what is there...wow he could burn up and down that fretboard.RIP Gary.
Thanks to Beastie for the tape,Cheerz!

They're Not Reinventing The Wheel,But..

Here's my tip for the top. Rival Sons.
Bluesy Rock, it's not anything new but they do it so well. Never harmed The Black Crowes did it? I've seen them twice this year and they were excellent.(eh Brian?)
They've released two albums (go check them out).Or check out the promo cd I posted here a while ago.These boys should go far,catch them if you can.
Anyway here is a very listenable AUD recording imo from their UK tour in November, missing a song or two but very good.

KISS get back to basics on the Revenge club tour.From Brooklyn's Warehouse, May 10th 1992.Ripped from my silver cd and a nice sounding show.
A really popular era amongst Kiss fans.They were playing great and the Revenge album itself was pretty heavy Rawk n Roll.Full artwork included in download.

Hear Rock City = Music For Nations

Another vinyl rip from the dark and dusty archives.

The back cover had me nearly tearing my hair out!

Scanned it,cropped it, and put it back together.

Anyhoo a cool compilation I'm digging this big time.

From Ratt's dirty rock n roll to the epic Metal of Virgin Steele, Enjoy.

Here's one BUCKEYE sent in.A most excellent Pink Floyd soundboard show, from Torino,Italy.This is the Floyd as stadium rockers which I much prefer to their 60's psychedelic stuff.Of course this show contains Comfortably Numb (must be one of the greatest guitar solos ever.)Thanks Buck!

Krokus Has Been Called Everything From an AC/DC Clone to a Down-Right Rip-Off, Much Like Airbourne These Days...But, I Don't Really Give a Damn About All That...'Cause This Show Flat Out ROCKS!

Someone (Carb0nBase) Made The Front Cover - Much Like Timmy Turner, I "Found It On The Internet!" The Rest I Had To Put Together MyOwnSelf!

I Didn't Have an Exact Date When I Put Together The Back Cover, But I Found an AD from a Newspaper (Seen Below) Where Krokus & Saxon Were Opening For Cheap Trick...So It Looks Like July 5th, 1982 Would Be The Date Of This Show (Check Out The Ticket Prices!), And Would Also Explain Why It's A Short Set...Oh, But It's A Great Soundin' One!
Must Be a FM Radio Broadcast Recording from Erie, PA!
There's Just 6 Songs (One Of Them Their Version Of The Guess Who's American Woman) + an Interview...
In One Way, ALL Music Is A Rip-Off (To A Certain Extent...) 'Cause Bands Always Borrow & Draw From Influences Of The Past Whilst Makin' Music Here In The Present & For The Future!
Plus, AC/DC Didn't Invent Boogie Rock N Roll (They Mighta Got It Down To A Science During The 70s) Anyway - They Just Put Their Own Personal Spin On It!
Krokus Is About To Rock, And We Salute Them!

I Didn't Really Listen to Accept Much After The Metal Heart & Live EP They Did, Seems Like...
I Know UDO Left, Then Returned Then Left Again...Somewhere Along The Way...
Line-Up Changes Were Pretty Frequent From Then On...
This Was Recorded on The Objection Overruled Tour With UDO Dirkschneider Back Doing The Vocals (Or Growls, As He Was Known For That Unique Vocal Style...)!

This Is a Really Nice AUD Recording - I'd Call It Great, But NOT Excellent!
The Performance Is Top Notch - So No Marks Deducted on that...
The Vocals Are Just a Tad Low In The Mix (The Way I Like It Myself) But Some May Wish They Were a Little More Upfront...
But Just Check Out That Setlist - (Songs Like Breaker, Son Of A Bitch & Burning Help Make This A Special Concert To Listen To...) THAT and The Band's "On Fire" Playing More Than Make Up For Any Sound Quality Flaws to My Ears...
But, You'll Have To Give It a LOUD Listen & Decide For Yourself!

Great SBD Recording from The Original Metal Gods!
The First Metal Band To Play The Royal Albert Hall (Now They Know How Many Metal Heads It Takes To Fill It...)
Great Setlist, With a Few Tunes Not Heard Live In Many a Year...
This Was Recorded in London Back in '06, And It Had Something to Do With Tommy Vance (Some Kinda Tribute To Him...) As Is Mentioned In The Intro...And On The Back Cover Someone Made For This Set...
Many Classic Priest Tunes - But It Sure Is Good To Hear Tracks Like Turbo Lover & Take On The World!
