Roots Of Heavy Metal post # 12

Not one single Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band exists that doesn't owe Cream's Heavy Rock (as it was some times referred to in those days..) a huge debt of gratitude. Like Led Zeppelin, Cream's music and live performances inspired all the Guitar God guitar solo's and lengthy drum solos so prevalent in the world of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal.

This one should keep everybody entertained through their hump day.

This recording is huge on a few levels. Just in shear size of the file set, the length of the show, the STAR POWER! I mean it runs from 7:30 PM to 4:55 AM with headline length sets from The Allman Brothers, Southside Johnny, and Dave Edmunds. With the rest of the performers playing opening act length sets (around a half hour each). From comments made by one of the DJs it comes out part of the show length was due to The Allmans insisting on using their own soundman and equipment. The rest of the bands used the promoters rented equipment and the house soundman.

The show starts off with a great set by The Edgar Winter Group followed by a blistering 2 hour set from The Allman Brothers Band. At the end of the show one of the DJs comment that Steve Forbert just showed up at the theater so they gave him an acoustic guitar then threw him on stage (he sounds like he's enjoying it) as the roadies changed the stage equipment (He got the Richie Havens treatment...Richie wasn't scheduled at Woodstock). His nice Folkie set settles the crowd down to only be lit on fire again by Gary "US" Bonds. Gary "US" Bonds, who Rocked the 1950s with his #1 Hit "Quarter to Three", made his come back in the 1980s after Steven Van Zandt & Bruce Springsteen produced 2 LPs for the Legend. Bruce even wrote a Top 10 Single for his hero and inspiration called "This Little Girl". This fan thought it was a perfect fit (like Patti Smith singing "Because The Night"). Dave Edmunds must of been in Heaven sharing a stage with Gary "US" Bonds. His brand of Rock & Roll just drips with 1950s influences. Jack Bruce is one of my musical heroes. Cream's Disraeli Gears & Wheels of Fire were huge influences on me wanting to play Heavy Music. "Sunshine of Your Love" was one of the songs I sang to audition for my first professional band (paying gigs and all!). Jack kicks ass here playing his Classic R & B/Jazz/Blues Rock that made him the Rock Icon his is! Finish that night off with an hour of Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes high powered horn driven, dance floor filling Rhythm & Blues. Now try dragging yourself home at 5:00 AM after all that Rock & Roll!!

This set is HUGE so it has been divided into sections to make downloading a little easier. All parts can open separately. They are inter changeable too, so you can down load one of each at a time.

For those who already downloaded the show I have uploaded the news articles by themselves

justdave's notes:
This show is edited from files uploaded to the net by Leslie Mountain. It was 5 files with out the tracks being indexed. I decoded the files and used Goldwave v6.52 to index the files. No EQ or noise reduction was used. No remastering, remixing or volume adjustment was done. After the tracks were indexed Traders Little Helper was used to encode the waves to Flac Level 8, aligning sector boundary errors. The file set came with a CD scan and I found a scan of the Cue Sheet on the net so I included it as well.

This is one of those Re-broadcast King Biscuit shows, where they re-broadcast classic shows. This one only has one flaw, each bands portion of the show is too short.

justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to raise the volume and clean up the fade in/fade out at the beginning and end of the recording. No EQ or noise reduction was used.

What a great show! After I downloaded and watched the MKV file that I made this DVD from, I knew I had to share the audio here with all my fellow Jazz fans.
