Draftervoi's Notes:
The Fools Recorded at My Father's Place, Roslyn, NY, April 1st, 1980

The cue sheet is missing. I've included a 300 dpi scan of the disc label.

Flac files of .wavs.

Here are two bands that should have been more successful than they actually were...for different reasons.

Eddie & the Hot Rods were on the cusp of Punk Rock, there at the very start, but were essentially a Pub Rock band playing high-energy blues-based rock & roll.  They were unfairly left behind as the times moved on, and bands like the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and the Jam took the center-stage in the eyes of the British musical press.

One thing to note is the cover of Bruce Springsteen's "The Ties That Bind" in the set list.  This syndicated broadcast was on October 12, 1980...and Springsteen's "The River" wasn't released until October 17, 1980. The song is not on any of their albums at the time, although a studio version was recorded and eventually released in 1992 on "The Curse Of The Hot Rods," a collection of previously unreleased studio recordings. Did Springsteen pass the song along to the Rods before "The River" was released?  It seems likely.

The Fools were a solid New Wave band, but were undermined by the "novelty record" aspect of their comic cover of the Talking Heads "Psycho Killer," re-imagined as a song about fast-food chicken meals. Their parody cover is fun but silly...and after you record a song that's on the Doctor Demento radio show, you're pigeon-holed as a novelty act. They soldiered on, and are still performing today, however.  

Lesley Palmiter was an American radio disc jockey, appearing on stations in the American Northeast (Connecticut and Massachusetts). Lesley broadcast on WCOZ in 1975 along with George Taylor Morris, who has also appeared on prior shows I've digitized.  The Internet tells me that she's now working as a real estate agent.

This is a great sounding broadcast recording with Jean-Luc Ponty kick major ass! This is a great show, Jean-Luc is in fine form playing songs from his Legendary Atlantic Records recordings. The recording does have a few little hiccups but if you don't know where to look for them you won't notice.

The flac files set is a little large so it is uploaded in 2 parts both parts open separately.

Sepultura on their first visit to Finland. It's a pretty good sounding soundboard recording, most likely a broadcast recording. The success of the Arise album gave Sepultura the push they needed to become a Worldwide Heavy Metal touring band. My 1st time seeing Sepultura was on this tour at The Harpo's Concert Theater in Detroit, Michigan. The show was so packed that people were standing on the pool tables trying to get a view of the stage. If you know anything about Harpo's, you know the pool tables were in a room of their own that you couldn't see anything from. The follow up to Arise would be the hugely successful Chaos A.D. which saw the band develop a more Groove Metal sound. This all in preparation to ready fans for the big change to Neo-Metal with the album Roots (a big shift but IMHO Roots was an un-Fuckwithable Masterpiece).
