First Posts Of 2018

Sorry about the lag in between posts but with the Holidays, the Flu (yeah we had it) and our heat going out in our home during Michigan's coldest winter in years (-30 degrees Fahrenheit WOW!) it was a little while before we could sit here at the computer.

 

But hey for the first posts of 2018 we have, a 3 hour Return To Forever Pre-FM/Soundboard from 1974, an FM broadcast from The Tony Williams Allstars (featuring Ronie Montrose & Billy Cobham), German Thrash Metal Pioneers Destruction, another soundboard from the Reunion Tour of Live with Ed Kowalczyk, Lampedusa (a Super Group featuring Steve Earl, Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Patty Griffin, & Buddy Miller), and Highlights from The Azkena Rock Festival featuring Black Country Communion, Kyuss Lives!, Queens Of The Stone Age, Primus, Thin Lizzy and more!

I hope everyone had a great New Years Eve and Christmas Holiday Season and we are looking forward to another year of sharing music with you! Thank you all for your Holiday wishes as well!!

justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to smooth out some volume issues and smooth out some of the song transitions. No EQ or noise reduction was used. The waves were nencoded to MP3 320kbps because the DVD had lossy audio.

Nice compilation recording, you get some Classic Hard Rock (Black Country Communion, Thin Lizzy) , Stoner Rock (Kyuss Lives!, Queens Of The Stone Age) , Rockabilly (Brian Setzer), Punkabilly (Reverend Horton Heat), Alternative Rock (Paul Weller, Bright Eyes, The Avett Brothers, Band Of Horses) , and Primus (who are a genre unto themselves!)

That's right over 3 hours of Return To Forever, and a Pre-FM recording at that! That being said I must add that this is not your typical Pre-FM recording. This recording comes from the complete original soundboard tapes. These tapes are a little raw and some levels can be uneven at times. That being said this is a great listening pleasure for all of us who love Return To Forever.

This recording also is from just before Bill Connors leaves the band. When Bill Connors leaves Detroit Jazz Artist Earl Klugh joins the band temporarily. Earl Klugh's time in the band is very short and Al Di Meola steps in to solidify what most fans consider the definitive line-up of Return To Forever. So clear some time, sit back and listen to some awesome music.

This is a very large file set so both early and late shows have been split up for easier downloading, all files can be opened separately.

I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to re-edit some track marks and double the volume. No EQ or noise reduction was used. The waves were then encoded to MP3 320kbps because the DVD had lossy audio.

Killer performance from German Thrash Metal Pioneers Destruction. Performance includes some former members as well as Tom "Angelripper" Rosenmerkel of German Thrash Pioneers Sodom! If your an Old School Thrash Fan you need to download this, dig out your old denim vest and form a pit, it's time to MOSH!
