We Got The Blues And More!!

Well we have finished re-posting all the Blues shows which brings us ever closer to a finished archive. FileFactory says we have over 2500 files stored, a little over 600GB stored, already. So when we fixed the Blues shows like all the other re-posts some shows were upgraded to Flac, can't remember which but some. Anyway just so you know this round of re-posts included such artists and shows like: The Foghat Blues Tribute Show featuring Otis Blackwell, Eddie Kirkland, Honey Boy Edwards, Paul Butterfield, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, & Johnny Winter, WOW! We also have a team up of Alvin Lee & Mick Taylor, Ten Years After, Bonnie Raitt, B.B. King, The Jeff Healey Band, John Hiatt, Kenny Wayne Shepherd,  The Blues Rock of Humble Pie, Robin Trower, & Sass Jordan. A show where Johnny Winter Hosts Blues Legends Muddy Waters, James Cotton & Pinetop Perkins. 10 Stevie Ray Vaughan shows! 3 from brother Jimmy Vaughan & The Fabulous Thunderbirds. More Blues Rock Guitar from The Pat Travers Band, & Beth Hart. We can't forget the Legendary Rory Galagher's 6 shows including his Don Kirshner's Rock Concert Performances from 1974 & 1975. We also can't forget 4 Roy Buchanan shows have been re-posted as well.

We also have some new stuff for you as well!

Our Jazz offerings this week come from The Pat Metheny/John Scofield Quartet, and the more Experimental Improving Jazz of The Nels Cline Singers.

Because we have 1 unconventional Jazz offering we are going to blur the lines again with the Funky, Jazzy, Soul of Tower Of Power (Rest In Peace Francis "Rocco" Prestia 1951-2020)

 Rosebud continues to pay Tribute To Her Favorite Singers by personally approving 2 Queen shows with The Legendary Freddie Mercury. One from 1981 and the other from 1988.

Since Rosebud Picked 2 Queen shows I figured I will have a running spotlight for a while featuring Progressive Rock. I am also going through a Prog Rock Phase at home making it convenient as well. This Weeks Progressive Rock offering comes from British Prog Rockers Gentle Giant. Finding one from my collection that Gentle Giant has not officially was pretty hard they have released quite a few Official Bootlegs. Check out their website for purchasing.

For Jimi Hendrix Fans we have The Ross Tapes: Tape # 6, which is like The Bob Terry Tapes.

For our Metalhead Friends (you are not forgoten) a 1985 FM Broadcast from Rough Cutt.

We are working on the Classic Rock selections from the archive now. A through c are zipped and uploaded already just waiting for me to link them!

Thank You To All Of Our Visitors!

Another great Queen & Freddie Mercury show as Rosebud salutes her favorite vocalists. This recording comes from an AM Radio station not FM so there is a sound difference. This is however a great show so don't let the AM Radio thing hold you back. The artwork included is the best I could find but rather cheap. Hopefully I will find something better in the future.

Freddie Mercury – lead vocals, piano, guitar

John Deacon – bass
Roger Taylor – drums, vocals

Special Guest:
Fish (Marillion) - vocals "Tutti Frutti".

This is show in Rosebud's Salute To Her Favorite Singers is #1 for the Freddie Mercury segment. This recording from Queen's 1986 tour in support of the A Kind Of Magic album is considered to be one of the best from that tour. This is a 100% complete recording with no cuts or fade ins/fade outs. An added bonus is that "Fish", lead vocalist of Marillion, joins in on "Tutti Frutti".

When I sat with Rosebud last night to preview this recording before post, it caused a big emotional response from me. See my 5 year old Grandson lives in Japan with my daughter while her husband serves in the US Navy. I miss him terribly and will not see him for another 2 years. When Freddie sang "Is This The World We Created?" I cried. Reason being, with the way things are in my country, I think he's safest there. I don't want to turn The New JDP into a big political debate or my personal soapbox (it's my safe place) so I will just say..everyone in the world no matter their actual political view can see the US is not well. My Grandson is half way around the globe, safe. God I miss him.

This is a perfect recording to be the first Gentle Giant post on The NewJDP. This is a great sounding recording with good stereo seperation and a nice bass sound. Since Rosebud has posted 2 shows from Queen for her salute to her favorite vocalists I figured I would have a spotlight on Progressive Rock. So Gentle Giant are post 1 of that tribute.

JustDave's Notes:
All I have to say is if you loved The Bob Terry Tapes you'll love The Ross Tapes Too.

Original Uploader Notes:
"Ross was known for low gen newly circulated genuine Jimi studio jams and concerts. The songs on most of his stuff are at the right speed, it sure sounds clean, neat n complete. These pre-date DAT tape too. Anyway, Ross made a final offer one summer by providing an 11 tape series of all his studio stuff. My friend took #2, 3, 6, & 7. Shortly after buying these tapes Ross generally disappeared from the scene. These torrents are right off the raw cassettes, no altering at all."
