I Saw This When I Logged In Today!!

 I saw this when I logged in today to post some hard hitting bands to help get everybody through Hump Day. These can not be real hits. About 2000 were from The US, a decent amount from European Countries, over 3000 from Singapore. They were pretty high all over the map actually. I've never seen a number that large when checking my stats. That says 9280 visits! I just had to share it. It was like, "Holy s#@t Batman look at those numbers!"

God I Love The Title Of This Boot! My Dad would say it was because of the weed I listen to Slayer. Or was it because of Slayer I smoked weed? No, it was because I listen to music like Slayer he knows I smoke weed! That's it! He also said that about Queen, The Ramones, Devo and of course Black Sabbath. When he heard my Morbid Angel CD playing in my car (Death Metal for those not in the know) he said "I love you but, God I'm glad you live on your own now son!"

Another great show from the mighty Blue Öyster Cult! I've had the luck of having seen Blue Öyster Cult live more times than I can actually remember. See there is a haze around when this was broadcast. Well, they say "... If You can remember the 1980s You weren't there." I beg to differ. If you can remember the 1980s You did not participate enough (or was that too much) and should have tried harder (remember or not remember we are all getting old so soon none of us will remember!).

The Motor City Madman Ted Nugent released his first album in 1967 with the Detroit group The Amboy Dukes. The album of Psychdelic Garage Rock spawned a hit with the Big Joe Williams song "Baby Please Don't Go". Ted would keep the song in his live sets even after going solo. Ted would use The Amboy Dukes name until 1975 when he released what would be his first solo record. The original Ted Nugent Band was supposed to be just that , a band, it was for the first album that the band part was left off the name. This would be a constant needle in the side to St. Holmes and Davies who would leave the band after the Cal Jam 2 performance. Cliff Davies would stay with Ted until the Scream Dream album. The original up-loader of this show gives the classic line up for this show. I don't know if this is correct or not. St. Holmes was on the album and tour but Dave Kiswiney played bass on the album and Carmine Appice played drums. I actually attended this show with some friends. It was my senior year in high school and we road the bus down Michigan Avenue to Cobo Arena listening to a cassette of the new album all the way. I don't remember who played the drums or bass due to the amount of partying we did. I do remember that summer a couple of fans stole a politicians (I think Mayor Colman Young's) limo and refused to give it back till "Wango Tango" was made the official song for the state of Michigan. That didn't pan out to good for them.

This show was a presentation of The Source Radio Network and comes from the tour to promote the Nugent album. The song "No, No, No" was the lead single. 5 of the 11 tracks featured here are from that album the rest are classics from the Derek St. Holmes era.

Two Piano Jazz Legends on the same stage inspiring each other to such heights of performance that you just have to sit and take notice. One of my favorite set of bootlegs in my collection is the soundboards from Billy Joel & Sir Elton John's Head To Head Tour. This performance, this pairing of players equals and I personally would dare to say tops those recordings. It really comes through, the fun, friendship, and mutual musical respect, in this show. This show started my Sunday Morning Jazz wake up. I think it will be a great show for yours...

About 4 or 5 inches of snow has fallen this week. It's snowing right now and everything out back looks so peaceful as I sit here drinking my morning coffee. This show from quite a few years ago is playing on the stereo. One of my favorite Jazz Fusion outfits playing on yet another program usually reserved for Rock and it's many off shoots. So many Metal Heads I know are into Return To Forever, it would amaze you. Most say it's for the guitar playing no matter which guitar player is in the group. My guitarist in Psychosis said it was for the song writing. My bass player of course said it was for Stanley Clarke. I have to agree with my guitarist that it's for the song writing. This remaster is a great example of the awesome live performances that also made Return To Forever a favorite of many....

JustDave's Notes:
- I got this from another collector who gave me all the info he had on the show which was not much, it was given to him the same way. As 6 unedited flac files, 2 cue sheet scans, some cover art and an audio checker text which said it was lossless.
- I decoded the files and indexed the tracks. After that I re-encoded them to FLAC Level 8

Known Flaws:
- Original rip lineage unknown but the tracks were cut on sector boundaries when checked prior to indexing tracks.
- Vinyl noise can clearly be heard, it looks like Westwood One used the BBC Transcription Albums to make this Two CD set.

Robben Ford is a self taught guitar player who has done session work for Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, and Rickie Lee Jones to name a few. I came to know of Robben Ford while reading about the band Kiss. While they were recording Creatures Of The Night, Ace Frehley was a no show in the studio. The band used several guitar players to record the album and Robben did the lead guitar on "Rock And Roll Hell" and "I Still Love You". Robbens solo material is Blues Rock and this fine recording should be a welcome addition to your collection.

A good sounding recording of a live in studio broadcast. Bob & the band seem to be having a good time jamming. Of the 10 songs performed only 4 were ever recorded by Seger. The rest are just songs they liked playing together. The Borneo Band, or My Band as they were fist called, was Bob's first backing band. The Last Herd or The Bob Seger System, as they are better known, was a band with Bob being the main song writer. When Bob first went solo he used Teegarden and Van Winkle, or played with just an acoustic guitar or piano. He formed the Borneo Band to record the Back In 72 album. This was the beginning of his long musical relationship with Alto Reed, then called Tom Cartmell. By the end of 1973 Bob would fire The Borneo Band for being too unreliable. Simms, Oldecker, and Levy joined Eric Clapton's band, Bob formed the Silver Bullet Band, at first without Alto Reed. He wouldn't join the Silver Bullet Band till Beautiful Loser.

Van Halen played the Oakland Coliseum for two days so they could film live footage of the band for shows like Kirshner, Midnight Special, etc. According to the band only these 3 live tracks exist because of glitches during filming. However this doesn't sit well with fans because the show was filmed with multiple cameras not video taped. This means that every camera would have to of malfunctioned at the same time. This is believed to be imposable. It is believed the performances didn't hold up to the bands standards instead. This seams to be more probable as Dave could sometimes get a little too drunk to remember the songs. I refer you to the much bootlegged US Festival show for an example of this. So you get 3 live songs and an interview with David Lee Roth in between. The promo video for "Oh! Pretty Woman" was also aired but since the audio is the official album track it was omitted.

Awesome set from alternative kings appearance at the ill fated 1999 Woodstock. This was the Moshpit Generations Altamont. The festival ended in fires, riots, and rape. This set isn't mired by any bad vibes at all, giving way to a chant of Love, Love, Love, a testament to the charisma of lead vocalist Ed Kowalczyck. Ed hits the stage with a mile wide grin and delivers each emotional song with that same smile, truly enjoying this experience, and feeding that energy back to the audience.

The Wavey Gravey segment is an attempt by the promoters of Woodstock 99 to connect to the festival of the past. Wavey Gravey was given a microphone and would go through the audience asking them to say something to Woodstock. The resulting quotes would be shown on the screen during bands sets.

I recently joined the MetalMadness ed2k link tracker. It hosts nothing but True Heavy Metal Music. Glam and Neo-Metal bands are not hosted there. Most of the stuff is commercially available material most of which is hard to find. I personally have been a fan of the Metal Underground since my teen years. Back when if you wanted a Motörhead, Iron Maiden or Venom record you had to order it from England at a record store or out of the back of a magazine. When I bought Iron Maiden's "Women In Uniform" E.P. I had to convert my American currency To English currency then mail it off to a company in England that advertised in the back of some Heavy Metal music magazine I read.

In the early days of Thrash Metal's surge from below of course I listened to Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax but another band that caught my ear early was Overkill. Named after the Motörhead song of course. I have been to quite a few Overkill concerts and they always are a killer live act. This collection I downloaded from the MetalMadness tracker is a collection of shows recorded for the radio. That includes a very early show from 1986 when Thrash Metal was as poison to radio as Hardcore Punk but Overkill made it onto the radio way back then in the long long ago before times....

Recorded while Sly & The Family were promoting the Fresh album, the band was just 2 years away from breaking up. Sly and the rest of the band had been heavy users of cocaine and PCP for years and it was taking it's toll. Live gigs were on the decline due to the fact that members wouldn't show up for gigs. They would pass out during gigs, and Sly had a habit of just leaving in the middle of shows. After a really bad show at Radio City Music Hall, which sold only one eighth of the tickets forcing the band to scrounge up the funds to return home, they called it quits.

This is the complete set from Black Sabbath at the first California Jam. It is however a little edited as some of Ozzy's on stage banter has been censored. Cannibis Confusion is regarded as the best sounding source of the recording however the boot Metal Mess contains the unedited stage banter. This comes from Rosebud's silver CD and is one of the first bootlegs I ever bought her. That's right I payed like $50 US for it, but now you won't have to.

This is a very interesting boot. It has very good sound quality and a fabulous performance from all involved. What makes it interesting is the band itself. Formed By Emerson & Palmer with Robert Berry, 3 only released one album 3 To the Power of Three. There was a very short tour, with some shows being billed as Emerson & Palmer, no mention of Robert Berry. They were also augmented by a second guitarist and a backing vocalist. The show focused on the LP's material with a couple E.L.P. instrumentals thrown in, as well as The Byrds "Eight Miles High" and The Four Tops "Standing in the Shadows of Love". As for the original material itself, it is a mix of Prog and AOR. 3 disbanded in 1989 when Emerson and Palmer reunited with Greg Lake for the Black Moon release. Berry went on to a failed attempt by Steve Howe to replace Steve Hackett in GTR. Berry's current band Alliance is composed of Gary Pihl from the band Boston on guitar, David Lauser from the Sammy Hagar Band on drums and Alan Fitzgerald from Night Ranger on keyboards.

The sound on the first song "Hard Driver" is a little sloppy as the radio and the stage sound man try to quickly adjust the faders, it does improve. This would have been the day to be at this annual festival. The main stage headliner was Stevie Ray Vaughan. Also on the bill was The Stray Cats, Dave Mason, and Molly Hatchet touring for their last album to feature vocalist Danny Joe Brown. I personally never attended a Badlands concert. I actually attended a few shows they were the opening act for but missed them each time. That is why I love having the shows that I do. It's odd, my least favorite era of Ozzy Osbourne is with Jake on guitar. I saw Ozzy twice with Jake. The Bark At The Moon tour with Motley Crue & Ratt. Then The Ultimate Sin tour with Metallica. On Bark At The Moon the keyboards were just too dominating in the mix, and Ultimate Sin was too Hair Metal sounding. I love Jake's playing with Badlands, he's perfect for this Bluesy Hard Rock sound.
