justdave's notes:
I ripped the audio with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to edit some of the track marks. I tried to edit as much talk as possible from the actual music tracks. I also tried to smooth out some spots where the audio was a little hot, to the point of clipping. No EQ or noise reduction was used. The DVD had lossy audio so using Traders Little Helper, the waves were encoded to MP3 320kbps.
Ritchie and Candice live streamed these 2 shows from their home studio for their fans during the Covid-19 quarantine. Ritchie drinks beer and jokes while Candice interacts with the fans on line. They actually take requests from the live audience as well as pick songs themselves. Ritchie suggests Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A Changin'" saying it's from his idol. That and "Fires At Midnight" are the only songs played both shows. The tracks titled "New Song" are songs from Blackmore's Night's up coming album that they did not announce the names of. "Vacuum And Dust" is a Covid-19 parody of the Joan Baez song "Diamonds And Rust". The idea came from a phone call with Whitesnake's David Coverdale. David commented that since the lockdown started all he's done is vacuum and dust.
This one is for aking who asked if I had any Blackmore's Night. As far as soundboard or Pro recordings was this DVD. I had not ripped it yet so I did this rip a few days ago. The rest of my Blackmore's Night recordings are audience recordings. I will have to review them to see if any are worthy of posting here, we are kind of picky.

Rosebud's Tribute To Her Favorite Singers continues with a double shot of Steve Walsh and Kansas. Not that she doesn't appreciate the vocals of co-vocalist Robby Steinhardt. It's just that she likes Steve's soaring vocals a little bit more. When a band has more than one lead vocalist it's not unusual that one may find a little more favor with Fans than another. It's like in Kiss I prefer Peter Criss' whiskey & cigarettes Soul vocals to Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley or Ace Frehley. The Beatles, I prefered John Lennon's vocals to Paul's. This was especially in the later years. John Lennon's vocals had an angst to them that was adopted with great affect by Punk Rock Vocalists. It spoke to me more than Paul's Syrupy Soulful delivery for some reason. Don't hate because I love Paul just a matter of personal taste.
This is a bit of an upgrade from the prior posting of this show. For one thing that one was posted in MP3 192kbps, this one is in Flac and MP3 320kbps. This one also has a clear lineage and is supposedly from The Original 48 Track Master.

My Tribute to Progressive Rock Bands continues with Italian Prog-Rockers Premiata Forneria Marconi.
Milan, Italy, not a city that Rockers around the world would think of as a hot bed for international Rock bands. Actually that may just be a USA Rocker's point of view. Don't hold that against us. The US record companies for a long time have treated Non-US bands like something that snuck in while the door was open. I mean they cut up the first two Classic Beatles albums to make one for America. Promotion was another thing. I didn't hear about Premiata Forneria Marconi until maybe 3 years ago. I guess it was hard to figure out a way to market Italy's first international band. A Prog-Rock band that incorporates flute, violin, Classical Music and Traditional Italian Melodies. I can just imagine a record company PR man tearing his hair out screaming.."What the hell? A flute...violin, Italian folk melodies...A name you can't pronounce after 5 doobies...I still don't know how to market Focus now this!!" After a pile of cocaine the record goes out without promotion. I really have no idea how many times PFM toured the USA. I do know however that I missed out on some great live music. Oh and I know the name translates to Award-Winning Marconi Bakery.
