...and that's it for 2009!
Although I don't think that anything really changes just because it's a new year or even decade, I still wanna wish all of you a happy new year! I hope it'll be all you want it to be! 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!
...and don't forget to boogie!
WHAT'S NEXT: I'm just uploading another DVD for you guys to start the new year properly: with rock music!

Blue Cheer - Bonn, Harmonie, April 11th 2008
[TV-Broadcast]
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!
Tracklist:
01 - Parchment Farm
02 - Rollin' Dem Bones
03 - Out Of Focus

Ike and Tina Turner - Portland, March 24th 1974
[Soundboard]
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!
Tracklist:
01 - Intro - Space Race
02 - El Burrito
03 - I Feel Allright
04 - Shaft
05 - Sweet Soul Music
06 - With A Little Help From My Friends

Before the decade is over....
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!!! ...and thanks for voting!
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!!!

Otis Redding - West Hollywood, Whiskey A Go-Go, April 10th 1966 (Late Show)
[Soundboard]
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!!!
Tracklist:
01 - Intro
02 - Your One and Only Man
03 - Security
04 - Good to Me
05 - Respect
06 - Ole Man Trouble
07 - I Can't Turn You Loose

John Mellencamp - Sessions At West 54th Street, Oct 2nd 1998
[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
[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!
Tracklist:
01 - Intro
02 - Night Dancin'
03 - Sugar Marie
04 - American Dream
05 - Tonight
06 - This Time
07 - I Need A Lover
08 - Great Midwest

Alice Cooper appears in new German commercials
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....

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
[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.
Tracklist:
- Outlaw Pete
- Out In The Street
- Working On A Dream
- Seeds
- Johnny 99
-Interview
