Notes:
Nice sound quality, the problems mentioned in the track list are equipment problems not sound or broadcast. King's X is a big favorite around our house and circle of friends. When your circle of friends are your Thrash Metal band, longtime roadies and other bands you tend to listen to a lot of things not Metal. When we were touring or writing new material we never listened to bands that make the same kind of music. Myself it's lots of Bob Seger, Joe Walsh (You Bought It You Name It is Genius!!), and King's X. My guitar player turned me on to them. He had read that they were the favorite band of Slayer's vocalist Tom Araya. He said it was one of his everyday go to bands. Unfortunately this is the tragedy of King's X. They seem to be a big musicians band but never quite caught the large audiences their music deserves. This band has vocal harmonies that would make The Beatles, Beach Boys, and Eagles take notice their mix of Hard Rock and Power Pop Melodies really set the band apart from most bands who debut at the same time. For those who haven't heard King's X I have a few of their shows on the blog (here). Check them all out, each show is worth it!!!

justdave's notes:
I had to remove about 2 minutes of noise from the end of track 06 "Moanjam". After removing it I re-encoded the files to flac level 8.

Short set but any soundboard recordings from King's X are worth collecting. King's X is "One Of Those Great Should Have Been So Much Bigger" bands. They are often called a musicians band, because of the many famous fans they have. Even Slayer front man Tom Araya calls King's X one of his favorite bands and that he and the rest of Slayer listen to King's x regularly on there tour bus. There is a saying "Even God Listens To Slayer". Well there should be one that says "Even Slayer Listens To King's X." I absolutely love there blending of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal with vocal harmonies, and great hooks that would make The Beatles jealous.

justdave's notes:
I compiled this from different bootlegs in my collection. Quite a few bands have covered Jimi Hendix songs over the years. My choices are not meant to represent the best of these cover versions just ones that I like. The surprises out of the recordings showcased here would have to be Concrete Blonde's version of "Castles Made Of Sand" or Earth, Wind & Fire's cover of "Machine Gun". Some sources were lossy and some were not so I encoded everything to MP3 320kbps. All recordings were of soundboard quality (ie Pre-FM, FM & Soundboard). I tried to adjust the volume of the tracks so they were more uniform using Goldwave.

Hope you enjoy it, I have a couple similar projects in the works.

notes:
Westwood One In Concert #92-38 also featured The Cult, however this encoding only features the King's X set.

This is one of my favorite bands, one I feel is terribly under rated. King's X deserved to break bigger than they did. This great Pre-FM recording should be a welcome addition to all music fans collections!

This is a great show from a band that never attained the heights it should have. King's X was a hard band to market. All three members sang lead, giving the band a vocal sound that set them apart from their Hard Rock peers. The band also had a spiritual element to their lyrics that would label them as a Christian Rock band, although the band resisted this classification. The band scored some publicity from Slayer's Tom Araya when he stated in an interview that King's X was his favorite band to listen to on Slayer's tour bus. This brought the band to the attention of the Heavy Metal Underground, and a very loyal underground following.

If you have never heard King's X think Classic Hard Rock Power Trio with at vocal harmonies that would make The Beatles proud. This show would also serve as a great introduction to King's X if you are new to them.

A nice sounding broadcast recording from underrated Hard Rockers King's X. King's X are considered a musicians band. Most of their fans are musicians. Tom Araya of Slayer counts them as one of his all time favorite bands. I haven't met one vocalist who doesn't rave about the bands vocal harmonies. All three members sing harmony and lead. The band is loved by critics as well, earning rave revues for their albums and shows. With all this King's X still haven't earned the type of commercial success that they deserve.
