This is The Steve Miller Blues Band, a far cry from the Space Rock of Fly Like An Eagle. It's more on par with the style of Blues Rock that most Blues inspired musicians of the 1960's were performing. That being said this is a kick ass performance of some of the best Blues Rock to be played by a Rocker of the 1960's. This is the same line-up that backed Chuck Berry at the Fillmore West and played at the Monterey Pop Festival. This is also before the addition of Boz Skaggs. So download this show now if you love stuff like Ten Years After, Paul Butterfield, etc. Also download this if you never heard The Steve Miller Blues Band and learn why he was called Stevie "Guitar" Miller by such worshiping fans as a young George Thorogood (true story Steve Miller heavily influenced George, see the DVD included in the Fly Like An Eagle deluxe edition).

Pretty sure I originally got this from Hear Rock City so thanks go out to them (a great Rock, Hard Rock Metal blog by the way, now a forum)). When Motörhead guitarist left to pursue other ventures he was quoted as saying he wanted to make music that he could be proud of. This was a slam against Lemmy's decision to record the Tammy Wynette song "Stand By Your Man"  with Wendy O'Williams of The Plasmatics. The album spawned two radio hits that actually received MTV air play in "Say What You Will" and "Easy Living". Successful tours followed but the band never received the attention Clarke's former band did. Dave King now fronts Celtic Punk outfit Flogging Molly, "Fast" Eddie Clarke emerged in 2011 with another line-up of Fastway and released the CD Eat Dog Eat.

OK first off I got this from D & P's Bootleg Tunz World so you know it's a quality concert. So the question of whether it is a good recording is answered right of the bat. It's also a great performance from early in the career of this Genesis side project. If you don't have this show in your collection you simply should that's all there is to it.

Also on the bill for this show were West, Bruce & Laing and Procol Harum, Mahavishnu Orchestra was the opening act. This show was professionally recorded and John McLaughlin loved it so much he tried to have CBS release it. Alas it still hasn't been officially released, which is sad because this is a kick ass performance. To have this recording come out with a professional mix would be fantastic. Since that is not the case we have this remastered version of Firepower Records bootleg. If you love John McLaughlin and/or Mahavishnu Orchestra I can not recommend this recording more.

Bear With Me


Sorry the posts are coming a little slow this month but Rosebud & I are in the process of moving. After 20 long years in a townhouse in the city, we are moving to a house in the country, on a lake. The move is going really well and is almost over, but is taking a large chunk of our free time. In a short time everything should settle down and we will be able to dedicate more time to The New JDP. So check back. The posts will still be coming, just a little slower for a short while longer. Thank you every one for your patience...

Supertramp's Progressive Rock was always tempered with a Pop Music sensibility making them a little more accessible to the masses. It was the more commercial material of Breakfast In America that delivered the bands biggest selling album. The album spawned 4 hit singles "The Logical Song", "Goodbye Stranger", "Take the Long Way Home", and "Breakfast in America". The band embarked on a very successful world tour which was captured on the live Paris album. While recording the follow up album ..Famous Last Words Rick Davis and Roger Hodgson's personality conflicts grew. Roger decided to leave the band during the tour. This is the final gig Roger Hodgson played with Supertramp, he even says this to the fans while dedicating "Give A Little Bit" to them. The sound of this show is great and the performances are so good you wouldn't know a key member was leaving if he hadn't told you.

Draftervoi's original notes:

Instead of trotting out the usual “hits plus new songs” set list, Mellencamp takes a tour through his record collection and opens up with four cover songs. His taste is more eclectic than you’d expect. He starts things off with “Heartbreak Hotel.” Yes, the Elvis Presley song... but he’s doing a note-for-note clone of John Cale’s ominous arrangement from the Slow Dazzle album.

Next up is a pretty standard cover of The Animals’ “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” (but he beats Elvis Costello’s cover of the same song by a good two years), followed by a quick run through the Left Banke’s 1966 baroque-pop hit, “Pretty Ballerina.” He finishes up with Lee Dorsey’s “Ya Ya.”

Then he gets down to what you’d expect: songs from John Cougar, Nothing Matters and What If It Did, and American Fool. But he’s not done with showing off his good taste yet: at the end, he pulls out a cover of Richard Thompson’s “Shoot Out The Lights,” and calls him “one of the best songwriters writin’ songs today...” John Mellencamp was taking valuable air time on a nationally syndicated radio show to promote Richard Thompson. Pretty cool...

So this is something a bit different; you get five cover songs, none of which were ever officially released. I also did a painstaking manual removal of each click and pop, so this is about as perfect as this show will ever get. I included scans of the disc label, affidavit, cue sheet, and front cover.

Our Dio tribute rolls on with another offering from his days with Black Sabbath. This time from the Dehumanizer Tour. I have a few different versions of this gig and, this one I enjoy the most. When I caught this tour it was at The Capitol Theater in Flint, Michigan. The place held about 2,000 people so it was a great place to catch the tour. Every seat was like being on the main floor of an arena. Thrash Metal Titans Exodus were the opening act along with Skew Siskin. I crowd surfed and was thrown over the barricade in front of Dio. I had to be walked threw the back stage area, out side, then to the front door to be let back in. As we came around the side of the building, security and I ended up in the middle of a verbal fight between Exodus' and Skew Siskens' road crews. Kind of an interesting night.

Paul Rodgers recorded a tribute to Blues Legend Muddy Waters in 1993 (which sadly is now unavailable). Paul's fans loved the CD and Paul went on a promotional tour for it. This great sounding Pre-FM recording is quite simply an absolute must have for all fans. Paul belts out his versions of some classic Muddy Waters tunes as well as the tribute track "Muddy Water Blues" written by Paul. Also on offer is the Bad Company classic "Can't Get Enough" and Free's "Alright Now". Because they are playing Electric Ladyland Studios the band also throws in an awesome blending of "Little Wing" and "Angel".

Before Ronnie James Dio climbed to fame as lead vocalist for Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow he slogged it out in his local scene like countless other musicians. Ronnie started his musical career in a Doo Wop group called The Vegas Kings. The Vegas Kings changed their name to Ronnie & The Rumblers who changed their name to Ronnie & The Red Caps when they got their chance to record a few singles. The band changed their name yet again to Ronnie Dio & The Prophets before recording more singles and the album Dio At Dominoe's a local restaurant. The restaurant in question became Dominoe's Pizza and has a plague outside commemorating the event that states "WE ROCK". The Prophets became The Electric Elves, then The Elves till finally becoming Elf. Elf released a couple albums produced by Roger Glover who suggested the band to Ritchie Blackmore as an opening act for Deep Purple MKII. Blackmore like Dio's voice so much that he took on Elf (minus the guitarist of course) as the core of the first line-up for Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. After Rainbow Ronnie went on to become a Heavy Metal Icon as lead vocalist for Black Sabbath. The rest of course is history.

This is a soundboard recording from pre-fame Elf, with Ronnie already belting out "War Pigs", and also Jethro Tull, and Humble Pie covers. I have included some really cool bonus tracks that any Dio collector should not be with out. These bonus tracks regrettably are only in MP3 128kbps (sorry). I also have included a very good history of Ronnie's days as a starving artist.

A kick ass show from early in Bachman-Turner Overdrive's career. Tim Bachman is already out of the band by this time. Tim left shortly after the release of Bachman-Turner Overdrive II. Stories differ as to why Tim was not in the band,. One story is that Tim left to focus on music production. Another story is that Randy Bachman had gone through a religious revelation and insisted on strict no party (drugs & alcohol) or per-marital sex rules. Tim was asked to leave after he refused to follow the rules. Yet another comes from Rob Bachman who states Tim was asked to leave because he was not BTO caliber.

Continuing with our solute to Ronnie James Dio we have a fantastic show from the Rainbow Rising line-up of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. This tape is supposed to come from the personal archives of Cozy Powell. Cozy made soundboard and stage recordings of his many bands which have surfaced as bootlegs over the years since his death. This boot has two separate mixes of the same show the version on CD 1 being the most complete. Ronnie's vocals are amazing on this one. Personally I can never have enough live versions of Ronnie singing "Catch The Rainbow".

As our tribute to Ronnie James Dio rolls on we come to the man's solo career. The DIO solo material fit quite nicely alongside his Rainbow and Black Sabbath material. At the time of this recording Ronnie had a deep back catalog to go through. Along side fan favorites like "Man On The Silver Mountain", "Heaven And Hell", & "Holy Diver" the man pulls out "The Sign Of The Southern Cross" and the rarely played "Gates Of Babylon". Ronnie is in fine voice and the band is playing quite well together. A nice addition to anyone's DIO collection.

Ripped from the bootleg DVD, a fantastic sounding show. Peter addresses the crowd in their native Portuguese, using pre-written notes, receiving chuckles from the crowd when he has to correct himself. The broadcast took place during a storm so there were some problems, the most notable is just after Peter's introduction to "The Rhythm Of The Heat", the music fades in after a burst of static. I removed the static, the fade occurred naturally, I did not add it, nor did I delete it. CD2 track 4 is a speech given about Peter's work with such charities as Amnesty  International, I left it for continuity. If you don't play this track you don't miss any music. My track list is different from the art work because I didn't separate the song intros from the songs like the DVD author, and I didn't encode the 10 minute introduction.
