Enjoy tonight's party if you're going to one! Well, simply enjoy whatever you're doing, especially if it involves sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll!

I also wanna thank you - especially the regulars and the guys leaving comments or using the shoutbox - for sticking and bearing with me. Your honest interest and friendly words are really keeping me going and are making this worthwhile!

Keep on rocking in the new year!

John Fogerty - Lucca Summer Festival, July 26th 2009

2009-12-31T06:15:00.000-08:00

[Radio-Broadcast]

John Fogerty - Lucca Summer Festival, Lucca, Piazza Napoleone, July 26th 2009

You can't go too wrong with John Fogerty in my opinion. He's still a brilliant and dedicated singer and musician and he has so many classics up his sleeve, the chance that one of his shows will turn out boring is very small.

Compared to some other shows he has played in the last decade, he is playing not too many of his standards. Nothing wrong with that, nice to see he isn't solely relying on stuff written 30 years ago, although I wouldn't mind a set consisting of classics only! You know what I mean...

I'm sure you will enjoy this show, from the first powerful seconds of "Up around the bend" on you'll know that this is a goodie! Enjoy!!!!

01 - Intro
02 - Up Around The Bend

Blue Cheer - Bonn, Harmonie, Crossroads Festival, April 11th 2008

As most of you will know, Dickie Peterson died in October. In his memory, here's a more recent Blue Cheer show. It was recorded in Germany, where he has been living for a while already.

I don't need to explain the importance of this band for rock music to any of you. The impact they caused with their first album can still be felt and who knows what we might be missing today if it had never been recorded (except for the great album itself, of course!!!). All of you who have seen Blue Cheer live will remember the powerful show and their very sympathetic front man. You could tell how much he was into what he was doing.

He'll be missed!!! Please enjoy this show and remember Dickie!

Ike + Tina Turner - Portland, University Of Maine, March 24th 1974

Something a little bit different for you... When it comes to Tina Turner's career after her comeback in the eigthies - I couldn't care less!!! It obviously was a huge success with millions of people out there, but I just can't stand it. If she wants to cultivate a hedge on her head, fine with me! Sadly, that alone won't make her money I guess....

Whatever - this is a nice show, check it out! Tina doesn't join the band until "Sweet Soul Music", so don't let her absence during the first track confuse you! The crows seems to enjoy this a lot, I hope you will, too!

Hey everyone,

I know I haven't been posting a lot this month, but there wasn't much I could do about it. Don't wanna go into details and bore you with them, but I wanna do things right and if I can't I'd rather not do (post) anything at all...

Anyway, here are some new boots for you! I'll try to start posting on a regular base again, but I have tons of stuff to catch up with, so forgive me if things are moving a bit slow at first - thanks!

Ka-boom!!!

I'm terribly sorry, but I'll have to take another break for a day or two. My computer obviously got infected by a virus from a friend's USB-stick. Damn!!! Gimme a day to fix this and I'll be back posting!

Isn't that just great? It seems that just when I started to feel okay again, my 'puter decided to get sick....

I'm posting this from a friend's machine, but I can't (ab)use it for uploads, of course.

Thanks for voting!!!!!

On a different note: Thanks to everyone who has voted for or against full DVDs or admitted being lost wherever! I really appreciate it. I honestly didn't expect that many people to vote! Cheers!

Consequently, my next post will be a full DVD, I think will probably post one every week or maybe every other week depending on the number and size of files.

Thanks again for understanding and participating!!!

P.S.: Don't worry, the pic above is not a pic of my computer! Gladly, most known malware won't cause it to catch fire!!!

The Black Keys - Chicago - Taste of Randolph St. 2006-06-17

2009-11-27T01:51:00.000-08:00

[Great Audience]

Isn't it amazing how much two guys can rock if they know how to do it? Well, The Black Keys surely know how to rock! Their - among others - Zep-influenced tunes won't give you the idea that there are only two guys playing! The pics alone will show you that these guys are the real deal! Just wait 'til you've heard them play (that's in case you're not familiar with their music!).

A friend of the guys came up with the name, it describes people you can't trust. They get compared to The White Stripes a lot, but I guess nobody would do that if they weren't a two-piece. In my humble opinion, the blues influences in The Black Keys' music is much higher, but that's just my two cents....

This show was recorded at the Taste of Randolph St. Open Air in 2006. It sounds awesome, credits go to whoever taped this, you did an awesome job! Check this out and enjoy!

The Alarm - Toronto, RPM Club 3-01-86

2009-11-26T01:10:00.000-08:00

[FM-Broadcast]

I gotta admit that when The Alarm from Wales appeared on the scene in the 80s I was judging a book by its cover, in other words their looks made me think they were another one of the loads of New Wave or U2-clone bands... There were many of them back then and while there were some really good ones, there also were a lot that just didn't rock.... At least not in my opinion.

Not much later I saw them play a few songs live on TV and was blown away!!! A guy I knew taped it and so I listened to it over and over again. These guys ROCKED with so much raw energy and enthusiasm I was speechless. Shame on me for judging them by some funny hairdos!!!! I learned a valuable lesson as a music enthusiast: Close your eyes and open your ears and heart for the music!!!

Anyway, I went to buy their records and they were great, too. In later years they changed their sound a bit towards a classic rock sound without betraying their roots, but with less success than they deserved... I also went to see them live several times - ah, good times!!

Here's a fantastic show from 1986, I'll post some more in the future. Enjoy!!!

2009-11-25T02:56:00.000-08:00

[FM-Broadcast/Soundboard]

I couldn't let you go without more Mellencamp!

Here's a silver boot from 1992, released on the Italian Living Legend label. I really like this one. The sound quality varies a bit on this one, as if it was copied from an audio cassette (it probably was!) instead of the master(s). It's still very enjoyable and it sounds as if John and the band are having a blast, too!! He's cracking jokes, laughs a lot and you can't help but get into a good mood yourself while enjoying this great boot!

There's a mistake on the cover though: Track 12 is not "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A." but "Crumblin' down" and 15 isn't "Hurts so good", but "Rumble seat"!!! I have to admit that I forgot about that when I was ripping the CD, so the MP3s are mislabelled, too. Please rename it for now, I may upload it again with the correct title one day....

This one goes out to Kyra!

The Vines - ABC Studio 262, Sydney 27-04-2006

2009-11-25T02:29:00.001-08:00

[FM-Broadcast]

Australia's The Vines have been described as "Beatles meet Nirvana" and while that's not too far from the truth, there's more to them in my opinion. Well, let's say they're simply a good rock band - no need for stupid labels!!!!

They were about to become super stars a few years ago, they were touring worldwide and their albums sold very well. They even made it onto the cover of Rolling Stone magazine:

Their singer/guitarist/songwriter Craig Nichols was thought to be the "next Kurt Cobain", also because he was acting strange at some times, told reporters crazy made up tales about the band and their future plans, some labelled him a psycho...

After he attacked a photographer and smashed her equipment and charges were pressed, it was revealed that he's suffering from Asperger Syndrome, a form of autism. The charges were dropped and Craig started getting treatment.

Since the diagnosis, The Vines have stopped touring, but have played a few shows in Australia. So here's one of the few chances to listen to them play live. This is a radio session they played in 2006. They're playing tracks from all of their albums, so it's a good chance to check them out in case you don't know them. For those who know and like them.... well.... it's a treat!

Enjoy!!

I received this show as one file, so I decided to split the file into the individual tracks, I think that's much more convenient for you! Of course, nothing's missing, it's the full show!

Tracklist:

- Nothings Comin'

- Vision Valley

Although it's an audience recording - and that's obvious - it sounds okay, because it's an acoustic show so there's much less risk of distortion and such... Anyway, just check the tracklist and you'll know you want this.

If you wanna find out more about the Bridge School Benefit Festival, here's the wiki page.

The artwork came with it, it's terrible I know - a true eyesore.... I'll create a different cover later today and will upload that, too so you'll have the choice!

This boot was released on the Good Karma label in the early 90s, the same label that released the excellent Jackson Browne boot I posted yesterday.

Here's another one of my fave boots! I really recommend this one, it sounds great and the performance is outstanding. I actually bought several copies of it back then in 1991 or 1992 and gave them away as presents because this is so great...

As on any release on the Good Karma label, the quality is first class, but no recording date or venue is mentioned. Well, I found out it was recorded in San Francisco in 1986, so I can give you that much info....

Update: I was informed by a visitor that it was recorded on 8-23-1986 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA! Thanks to the anonymous visitor for the info!

Do you remember this short lived band Izzy Stradlin formed after "leaving" Guns 'n' Roses. They released a pretty good self titled album and went on a worldwide tour. I went to see them play in a pretty small club back then and it was a good show, a lot of fun!

For those who remember and those who'd love to, here's a nice silver boot from 1992, released on Klondyke Records. It sounds really good. I'm not sure if this is a good audience or a soundboard recording.... Unanswered questions, so let the music do the talking!

[FM-Broadcast]

Besides posting stuff from all the "old heroes" I also wanna post more boots from "new" bands like the Earl Greyhound post not too long ago.... It's always good to find some fresh blood! New doesn't necessarily mean bad or trendy - there are a lot of bands who are combining a (more or less) fresh sound with what rock is (or should be!) all about...

The Gaslight Anthem is one of them! They are a band that some of you may have taken note of when Bruce Springsteen joined them on stage at the Glastonbury Festival. They say that Bruce Springsteen has been a big influence for them, but they are combining their New Jersey roots with the power of melodic punk rock and a lot of feeling in their music.

Today I'm gonna post two radio sessions they played last year. Actually, it's just their singer Brian Fallon - who has a great voice! - playing acoustic versions of the title track of their current album "The 59 sound" and an amazing cover version of "Atlantic City" by Bruce Springsteen (surprise!).

Check this out, you won't regret it!

It's from the same era and again, the sound quality is great. It may be just due to the mix, but the band seems to rock a bit harder on this one.

I think both are great and worth checking out.

Not too long ago I posted Neil's show from Farm Aid 2008, here's the one from the previous year! John Mellencamp introduces him as "one of the most terrific songwriters of our times" and who'd want to argue with that!? Not me!!!!

Neil played a really great and enjoyable set, he's also talking a lot about why he's supporting Farm Aid and seems to be in a good mood and happy to play the fest. Yeah, this one's great!

The sound is great, makes you feel as if you're among the crowd enjoying the great music. That's what you should do: Enjoy!!!

Well, I like to post something a little bit different once in a while, so here's a great show by Otis Redding recorded in 1966 at the legendary Whiskey a go-go in Hollywood.

A lot of you probably think of Otis as another one of those laid back soul singers etc etc... You'll be surprised by this performance, it's full of energy and a lot of fun, very enjoyable indeed! He's even playing songs from The Beatles and the Stones!

There's some tape hiss on this one, but it doesn't spoil it. Let's say it makes it sound more authentic, after all this is 43 years old!!!! As always: Enjoy!!!

John Mellencamp - Sessions At West 54th Street, Oct 2nd 1998

2009-11-01T03:05:00.000-08:00

[TV-Broadcast]

After all the audio, it's time for another video! Here's a fine, energy filled TV-session from 1998! The kinda unusual setting fits the enthusiastic performance perfectly! I forgot to make a setlist, sorry. I'll post one later, but I remember that they kicked it off with "Lonely ol' night" and the last tracks are "Small town" and "Rain on the scarecrow".

Enjoy this video!!! By the way, I have seen a 28 mins version in some trader's list, so if you got that one already, get this one, too - it's five mins longer!!!

Update: Just watched it again, so here's the tracklist:
-Lonely ol' night
-Eden is burning
-Your life is now
-I'm not running anymore
-Ain't that America
-Small town
-Rain on the scarecrow

John Mellencamp - My Father's Place, Roslyn, NY, August 23rd 1979

2009-11-01T02:12:00.000-08:00

[Soundboard]

A new month and here's even more Mellencamp for you... Some of you may already know this boot, it ciruclated quite a lot for a while. If you don't have it, get it now!

The sound quality has suffered a little throughout the years, sounds like a 2nd generation tape or something like that. In other words, the sound is not crystal clear, but still absolutely enjoyable. Definitely not a reason not to get this one! The performance is good and John seems to be in a good mood, too!

The pic above came with the boot (and was obviously chosen because the club this was recorded at is called "My father's place"), but I should point out that Harry (actually Harry Perry) Mellencamp was of course not John's father but his granddad. They had a very close relationship, he was the guy John turned to whenever he needed advice or someone to talk to until Harry died of lung cancer in 1983. This sad incident completely changed his father from being a dictator to a really nice guy, John recalled in an interview...

Enjoy!

Alice Cooper appears in new German commercials

2009-11-01T02:05:00.000-08:00

Check this out:

Alice is the new "mascot" of Saturn, a German electronics store. The spots are shown on TV and in theatres. Check out the shitty voice they gave him when they dubbed this! Oh my....

Do the potential customers in Europe remember him? Well, some sure do, but a mayority??? I wouldn't bet on it! In other words, for most, especially younger people, he's just some eerie looking whacko appearing in these commercials....

Springsteen Interview added!

2009-11-01T01:21:00.000-07:00

[Soundboard/FM-Broadcast]

More great music from John Mellencamp to kick off the day (I'll probably post some more stuff later today!)....

It's Halloween and everyone seems to post some very special Halloween stuff today so I decided to do everyone bothered by Halloween, Halloween posts etc etc a favor and stick to posting the same music I'd post on any other day of the year! This way you have the choice what to go for... All Hallow's Eve or just some good music!

....and good music is what you're gonna get. This is a silver bootleg from 1993 featuring both the Timothy White Session from 1991 as well as a show from Lincoln, Nebraska 1983. Two tracks from the latter where available on the "John's Garage" boot which is more or less the same as the "Welcome to the garage" boot I posted recently with different bonus tracks. Instead of just 2 you'll get 10 tracks here - enjoy!!!

Sound quality is excellent!

Oh yeah, please note the quite interesting set lists for both shows:

Tracklist:

01 - Get a leg up
02 - Carolina Shag
03 - Again tonight
04 - Love and happiness
05 - Under the boardwalk
06 - Cherry Bomb
07 - Cold sweat
08 - 30 Days in the hole

09 - Ain't even done with the night

10 - Thundering hearts
11 - Hand to hold on to
12 - Fire and water
13 - Hurts so good
14 - Jack and Diane
15 - Night dancing
16 - I think I'm really in love

17 - I need a lover

01-07: Timothy White Session 1991

08-17: Lincoln, Nebraska 1983

PLEASE NOTE: I have just noticed I have accidently named Track 16 "I need a lover", too. Don't worry, it IS "I think I'm really in love" - my bad! Just rename it and enjoy!

Due to the various sources, the quality varies, but the sound quality of most of the tracks is great, some of the live tracks sound a bit raw, but not too bad.

Bruce Springsteen - Carhaix, France, July 16th 2009 - Radio braodcast

2009-10-28T01:29:00.000-07:00

[FM-Broadcast]

While all of the nice audience recording from Bruce's recent tour are circulating all over the internet and beyond (and really don't need to posted here again), I thought some of you maybe interested in a few pro recorded tracks, so here's this nice little thingy from France:
The French radio station France Inter broadcasted a special featuring Bruce Springsteen this summer. Except for the songs listed below, they did an half hour interview and talked about Bruce a lot and played some studio tracks.

I have stripped this recording of the intro and outro for two reasons:
-it's all in French (which I don't speak and according to my visitor statistics most of you don't speak French either!)
-AND because of the studio tracks they played, because they're available on official releases.

About the interview, it's dubbed in French, too but in case some of you may want it anyway, I have uploaded it, too so you can choose if you want the complete package or just the music!

The live tracks were recorded on the day mentioned above at the Les Vieilles Charrues Festival in Carhaix.

- Outlaw Pete
- Out In The Street
- Working On A Dream

- Johnny 99

More quality rock music from John Mellencamp for you guys!

I bought the "Workingman's Rock & Roll" silver boot when it came out on "Royal Sound Music" back in the early nineties. I've enjoyed it ever since, but a few years ago I discovered a more complete version of the same show he played during the "Whenever we wanted" tour.

While the CD has 14 tracks only, here are 25 of them! I guess it's safe to assume that this is the complete show and it's another winner, be sure to grab this one if you're into Mr.Mellencamp's music! I think this version was available as a boot named "The 4th of July" for a while...

Although I am not posting the CD-Rip here - I'm sure you'll prefer to download the full show, I'm posting the artwork anyway, thought you might want to check it out:

[Audience]

Fair Grounds Race Course, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, May 3rd 2009

Neil has played this year's New Orleans Jazz festival along with other "famous Jazz artists" like Bon Jovi and Kings of Leon. Nothing wrong with these bands, but just like Montreux, the term "Jazz Festival" seems to lose it's meaning....

Neil played on Sunday, the final day of the festival, before the Neville Brothers delivered the closing set (as every year btw!).

This is an audience recording, but a quite good one. Part of the set is electric, part of it is acoustic and he's also playing some songs from the "Fork..." album. Recommended!

01 - Intro + Tuning
02 - Love And Only Love

Stones anyone? There's always room for another vintage Stones recording, isn't it? I'm not sure anymore when this boot was released, but I think I bought it in the late 80, s - must've been one of my first CD bootlegs, if not THE first I ever bought.

Anyway, that's not the only reason I like this one, it's really enjoyable and fun to listen to. The sound quality is quite good for a 40+ years old recording. Get it and enjoy!

[FM-Broadcast]

Sometimes the stuff you don't really expect to impress you, the stuff you get "just to check out" or because somebody recommended it to you or whatever turns out to be the best.

This is a perfect example. I remember finding this a few years ago and the description on the site I got it from (no idea what site that was though, so if it was yours: THANKS!) sounded kinda interesting, so I downloaded it "just to check it out" and was VERY surprised how good this turned out to be.

I guess what makes this so appealing in the first place is the fact that you can tell how much fun Leo had playing this show and this makes it fun to listen to it, too. It just makes you wanna listen to it as a whole instead of skipping forward to check out the songs you know.

The performance is tight and full of "positive energy", putting a smile on your face when you least expect it. This boot is definitely one of the big surprises you can experience if you listen to a lot of shows. Enjoy!!!!

The Bottom Line
10-10-1980

The "Live USA" silver bootlegs were released about 20 years ago and sold dead cheap at record stores, mainly in Germany. Some of them were actually really good and this is one of them! As you can see, the packaging is kinda shoddy (note the misspelling of Mellencamp!!!), but for about five Euro/seven bucks you couldn't go too wrong.

Since this is my first Mellencamp post I wanna let you know that - not matter what he was calling himself at that time: Johnny Cougar, John Mellencamp, John Cougar Mellencamp etc - I'll label all posts "John Mellencamp" so you can easily find all posts using the guide on the right. I'll post more stuff from this guy really soon!

Ryan Adams Killers - Ann Arbor, Michigan, 2003

2009-10-16T02:00:00.000-07:00

[Great Audience]

Ryan Adams seems to be pretty much underrated, of a lot of rock fans obviously have a low opinion of him. Maybe because he is releasing so much stuff and has done a few poppy and some strange songs, too. I have to admit that I never bothered about his output too much myself until I discovered this show a few years ago. It managed to change my opinion of him during the first listen.

I'm not sure where I got this from, I think I found it on some blog (probably defunct, because I don't remember its name or seeing it again recently) about five years ago, so cheers to the original uploader/poster.

Anyway, this is too good to pass by. This show really rocks and is full of energy, it's simply fun listening to it. The audience recording catches the vibe and spirit of the show really well, making it so enjoyable. Do yourself a favor and give this one a try!!!! Awesome stuff!

2009-10-15T02:13:00.000-07:00

[FM-Broadcast]

WMMS 100.7 Coffee Break Concert

"Cleveland's Premium Rock Station"

In my opinion, Aldo Nova never really got the success and recognition he deserved. Most people seem to write him off as "just another AOR/Melodic Hard Rock artist". This is simply not true and WTF would be wrong with it if it was??? Damn, I like his stuff and this is a great radio show some of you may already have, but to those who don't: Get it and enjoy!

01.Fantasy

02.Hot Love

03.It's Too Late

The Black Crowes - Handle with care - U.S.A./Pink Pop 1990

2009-10-15T02:03:00.000-07:00

[Soundboard]

This is one of my fave boots and I really recommend it to all of you.

There are two shows on it, one from their 1990 U.S.A. tour and one from the Pink Pop Festival in Landgraaf/Netherlands. They played the Pink Pop Festival on June 4th 1990, I'm not sure about the exact date of the other show. Netherless, they're great and so much better than their studio stuff. When I first listened to it, it blew me away.

Released in 1991 on Magic Mushroom Records, but you don't need any of those to enjoy this! :) Enjoy!

Tracklist:

01 - Thick And Thin

02 - You're Wrong

03 - Twice As Hard

04 - Sister Luck

05 - Jealous Guy

06 - Hard To Handle

07 - She Talks To Angels

08 - Jealous Again

09 - Struttin' Blues

10 - You're Wrong

11 - Twice As Hard

12 - Sister Luck

13 - Jealous Guy

14 - Hard To Handle

2009-10-15T01:44:00.000-07:00

[Audience]

Here's an audience recording from Eric's 2006 tour. You can hear people talk sometimes, but it's not really THAT annoying. The performance itself is not really suffering from it. Sure, it's annoying, but not as much as on a lot of other audience recordings.

I don't remember seeing this recording anywhere else yet, so I thought it might be interesting for some of you out there!

Tracklist:

01 - Pretending

02 - So Tired

03 - Got to Get Better in a little While

04 - Bell Bottom Blues

05 - Why Has Love Got to be so sad

06 - Everybody Ought to change some

07 - Motherless Children

08 - Back Home

09 - I Am Yours

10 - Nobody Knows You When you're down and out

11 - Running on Faith

2009-10-15T01:05:00.000-07:00

[Studio recordings]

Ripped from the silver CD of this interesting bootleg from around 1991. Interesting versions of some of the songs. In my humble opinion, "In through the outdoor" is far better than its reputation, so I was happy to find this boot back then.

Tracklist:

01 - Carouselambra

02 - Fool in the rain

03 - Light of your love

04 - In the evening

05 - The rover

06 - The wanton song

Hey everybody,

I'm sorry I didn't post anything for nearly a week. I got very sick and couldn't do anything except throwin' up, trembling, sweating, crappin' water etc etc..... I'm almost back to normal now and will prepare some stuff to upload later, so except me to start posting stuff again tomorrow!

Thanks for being patient and checking back!!!

Journey - Download Festival 2009

2009-10-06T08:17:00.000-07:00

[Great audience]

In my humble opinion, this is a perfect example for an audience recording that could beat most soundboard recordings hands down. Why? Well, the sound may be SLIGHTLY inferior to a soundboard recording, no doubt about that, but some (!) audience recordings manage to capture the spirit of the performance and make you feel as if you were among the crowd in a way that no soundboard recording ever could. Needless to say, this is not true for most audience recordings and some people may not share this opinion at all, but this is how I feel about it....

Anyway, if you are into Journey, I cannot recommend this enough! Close your eyes and you'll find yourself in the 10th row, clapping along and having a good time!!!

It's all about the vibe, no digital sound enhancer can create the vibe of a good live show!

Tracklist:

01 - Separate ways

02 - Stone in love

03 - Ask the lonely

04 - Change for the better

05 - Wheel in the sky

06 - Faithfully

07 - Don't stop believing

UFO - Don Kirshner's Rock Concert 1974 + Bonus

2009-10-06T03:35:00.000-07:00

[Pro-Shot Video]

UFO appeared at the legendary TV-show Don Kirshner's Rock Concert in 1974, precisely in Episode 11 of the second season, alongside with Focus and New Birth. Here's a video of the show - believe me when I'm telling you that this show rocks!!! If you are into this band or (hard) rock in general - get it!!! It's bloody impressive and one of my fave live vids.

The picture quality is good, probably ripped from a 2nd gen VHS or something like that. It's better than the screenshot suggests, trust me guys! The sound is okay, a little distorted at times, but absolutely listenable.

The mp3 version is available from the awesome Hear Rock City blog. Check it out!!!

Tracklist:

00. Boogie*

01. Give Her The Gun

02. Space Child

03. Doctor Doctor

04. Rock Bottom

05. Only You Can Rock Me#

*Bonus - not from Don Kirshner's Rock Concert (hence Track #00), TV-appearance from 1970 (pre-Schenker), I'm not sure about the TV-show they appeared on, but it's a great outstanding version, picture and sound are perfect. I meant to post this separately, but WTF, here it is!

#I'm not sure if this one is actually from the same show (nah, to be more precise I AM sure it isn't), but it usually gets listed as one of the songs they played although it'd be a pretty early performance as it wasn't even released back then. Can anyone shed some light on this? Nevertheless, it's also an awesome performance.

Them Crooked Vultures

2009-10-03T06:29:00.000-07:00

I'm sure most of you have heard about this new band or should I say gathering of legends!?

Anyway, for those of you who don't know, TCV are:
Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters)
Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age)
John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin)

They have played a few surprise shows at festivals recently and have announced worldwide dates as well as an album.

Here are 4 tracks for you to check out. They were recorded live, but I can't say where and when. I guess they at "Rock en Seine"-Festival in France on August 30th this year, because Dave or Josh says "Merci" after one song. (I'll get the full show tomorrow, so I'll be able to tell by then!) The sound quality is good and compliments the songs perfectly! Let these tracks wet your appetite for more and buy the album when it's out!

Marillion - Fish's first and last show

2009-10-03T01:18:00.000-07:00

Marillion - Bicester, Red Lion Pub 14-03-1981

Here are two goodies for fans of Marillion's Fish-era. First, this is the first show Fish played with Marillion only shortly after joining them.

I'm actually not sure if this is a soundboard or audience recording, my guess is the latter. The sound isn't really bad, but I guessn it has suffered from being copied several times from tape to tape. It's still quite listenable and an interesting document from the history of this band, of course! Hey, that's what you're getting it for, right???

Tracklist:
01 - Time For Sale
02 - Madcap's Embrace
03 - Grendel
04 - Snow Angel
05 - Skyline Drifter
06 - The Web
07 - Herne The Hunter

Marillion - St.Andrews, Craigtown Park 23-07-88

[Great Audience]

This, as you can see by looking at the cover, is Marillion's final show with Fish on vocals. It's a really good show, the sound is good although this is an audience recording, but I think it almost sounds like a soundboard recording, it gives you the feeling of being right there enjoying the show! It sure IS a great audience recording!!!

Tracklist:
see above! (saves me the trouble of typing it all again...)
Please note that the last three tracks are NOT missing! It's actually a medley, that's why they were encoded as one, but are listed as four tracks on the cover. You are not missing anything!

Yep, this is exactly the same recording posted on T.U.B.E. not too long ago. I didn't steal their files though. I actually contributed them, so I thought I might as well post them on here, too. If you got it from their site already, you don't need to download these files here.

The show is incomplete, but this is all that was broadcasted by the BBC, so it is the most complete version you'll find. Neil really played a great show and you can tell how much fun he had doing it. He just doesn't seem to want to stop! Check it out!
