Wadada Leo Smith's Great Lakes Suites project is kind of special for me having lived in Michigan all my life. Like almost anyone who grows up here The Great Lakes was where my family spent our summers vacations, camping, boating, fishing, and swimming. Wadada's compositions are both as deep and wide as the vast bodies of water that inspired them.

BigO had hosted this show in MP3 format. I have included the artwork that BigO had made for their version of this show....so thanks go out to them for the cover art.

I love hearing Jazz bands take on the songs of non-Jazz artists. Bob Dylan couldn't be farther removed from Jazz (in my humble opinion). Absolutely Sweet Marie was formed to examine the music of Bob Dylan through the eye of a Jazz Composer. For this show the band is promoting their 2nd CD Another Side Of Blonde On Blonde. I'm not a huge fan of Bob Dylan's work (please no hate comments). I own 1 Greatest Hits CD and a CD that was being given away for free when ladies bought lingerie at Victoria's Secret. I also have Bob Dylan & The Band's Before The Flood and Basement Tapes albums on vinyl. That being said I love this performance. If you love Bob Dylan you should download this one to check out the arrangements the songs are given. If you love Jazz this one's for you too!

I also have a great show by The Kieth Jarrett Trio performing the music of Bob Dylan available on the blog here if you are interested in hearing a Jazz Piano Trio's take on Dylan.

Bob Weir has joined "the band in the sky". Seems we are losing our Muiscal Heros left and right. I cried when Ozzy Osbourne passed. I know a lot of people cried when Bob Weir passed. I found solace in Ozzy's music. This is for all Rosebud and My Friends who are morning the passing of Bob Weir (like We did Ozzy) in the hopes it helps to give you solace (like Ozzy's music did Us). I think it's kind of fitting that Jerry Garcia couldn't sing and was hanging around in the background playing guitar driving the band while Bob Weir carries the flag for the day. Why? because I'm betting that is the way Deadheads saw it when they went to see Bob Weir with The Dead & Co. That Bob Weir was there carrying the flag for the day while Jerry Garcia was hanging somewhere in the background playing guitar driving the band. If you have never heard it you're going to love this performance. I mean a 23 minute Jam on the Motown track "Dancing In The Streets". Plus with Jerry Garcia not having to sing, he was free to really play some inspired stuff!! So this is Our Love to all Our Friends out there mourning Bob Wier. We hope it helps..........

That's right Rosebud isn't just a fan of the more commercial Heavy Metal. Oh No! she loves Morbid Angel. Morbid Angel was the first Death Metal band I introduced Rosebud to. They were also the first Death Metal band she ever saw in concert. I came home from work one day to find Rosebud had bought tickets to a show headlined by Motörhead with Morbid Angel as the opening act. She says "I got us tickets to see Morbid Angel!!" I looked at the tickets and said "You forgot to say Motörhead would be headlining." She says "We've seen Motörhead 3 times I bought the tickets because Morbid Angel will be there."

Sacred Reich had in the early days of The Metal Underground what I would kind of jokingly call a "hit single" with "Surf Nicaragua". I don't care who you met where they didn't always know about the same bands. In the long long ago before the internet your next door neighbor might not know about the same bands as you, and that as they say is not bulls**t. Metallica had not yet broken the Glass Ceiling of The Record Companies thinking TRUE METAL was not profitable. Hell American record companies didn't even want to sign Ozzy Osbourne to a solo deal (can you imagine being a AandR Manwho passed on Ozzy). No matter where you were or who you met, they all knew "Surf Nicaragua".

If you were a Metalhead in the days of the True Metal Underground, you can relive it with this boot. If you were too young or not even born then you can see what the "old guys at the shows" are running their mouths about. Granted this show was recorded in the 1990s but these guys were their back in the beginning when it was all new!

Ike & Tina rock the house in their typical high energy style. It's rather ironic that they chose to cover Alice Cooper's "Only Women Bleed", a song about spousal abuse, given the known history of the relationship. The raw emotion can be heard in Tina's voice when she cries .."Please don't make us bleed!"

The title of the CD is Europe 1993 but Black Sabbath didn't play a single show in 1993. Recorded in 1992, this boot wasn't released until 1993, hence the name and another example of bootleggers caring about the money not the music or the facts. Anyway, this is a very clean sounding soundboard. You can hear all the instruments clearly, however the bass is a little thin (IMHO). Black-Sabbath.com says this boot comes from the masters of the original TV broadcast tapes, I say if your a Sabbath fan and you don't have this..... You Should !!

I really enjoyed listening to this collection. It's a lot of  great music packed into one sweet little package. I keep coming back to the memory that the guy who turned me on to Tom Petty also turned me on to Devo, Black Flag and The Meatmen. Looking at it with an older mind it actually shouldn't really of surprised me actually. The Punk Rock movement was brought about by music fans that felt Rock music had gotten too bloated and self-indulgent. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers music was anything but bloated and self indulgent. The wrote great Rock songs with great stories in the lyrics. No tours with a 100 piece orchestra and Benmont Tench wasn't surrounded by 60 synthesizers. The same reason their music made some of their influences want to record and tour with them. Bob Dylan, George Harrison, to name a couple. Plain and simple Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers were dA Damn Good Rock & Roll Band. Hope you enjoy this collection!!
