justdave notes:
When I got this it had all the voice overs and the tracks had not been indexed. I removed all the voice overs, commercials and added cross fades with GoldWave v.5.04. I then encoded the wave files to flac level 8 using Traders Little Helper aligning on sector boundaries.

Stoner Doom Metal in the true Black Sabbath tradition. If you are a fan of such Sabbath sons as Sleep, The Obsessed, Kyuss or Witchcraft to name just a few, then Orchid is the band for you. I can't recommend this band enough, I have been obsessed with this recording for a while now, it has been in my car CD changer since I encoded it.

Thanks to a great DVD bootleg those of us who could not catch that historic tour in person can here that special performance.

justdave notes:
Hans uploads his tapes as 1 long file per tape side. The flac files are also in 24 bit encodings so they are fit for audio DVD's. I separated the tracks and also made a 16 bit option so that it could be burned to CD. This is a great sounding version of this famous Van Morrison radio show so if you already have a version you should check this one out it just may be an upgrade in sound for you.

Rosebud has been a little busy lately so she hasn't been contributing as much but she had to share this one with you. It's another acoustic performance to promote the Operation Mindcrime II release. You get 2 tracks from Operation Mindcrime "Eyes Of A Stranger" & "The Mission" plus "The Hands" from Operation Mindcrime II. It's a short one but well worth the time to download.

Been a while since we brought out the Sabbath so Rosebud has picked this one from the Ozzy Era. Made up off 2 Pre-FM recordings from the British Biscuit show. The recordings are from the Technical Ecstasy & Never Say Die Tours but you only get one track from either of those LPs "Gypsy". Still this is a great classic era concert recording that all Black Sabbath fans should own.

Note:  Hans uses the date convention of M/D/YYYY pm his cassette case, I use the ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format.

justdave notes:
This is a Hans De Vente tape that has been edited by justdave. The recording was originally encoded to 2 long files, one per tape side. I decoded the files with Traders Little Helper, then edited the individual tracks with GoldWave v.5.04. There was a drop out in the very beginning of "Across The River" that I fixed. Also a tape flip occurred at the 3 minutes 51 second mark of "Family Snapshot" that I spliced. Other than that I didn't alter the recording with any EQ, noise reduction, or remastering.

original uploader notes:

I've tracked the commercials so that you can delete them if they're of no interest to you. These are flac files of waves, digitized directly from the 3-lp set, and manually declicked one click at a time in Audacity. I've included scans of the box, a record label, the cue sheet, and affidavit. There are a couple of celebrity commercials in there, Whitney Houston and also Manhattan Transfer.  Minute Maid Orange Soda is no longer manufactured.

Tracks from this concert were broadcast several times by Westwood One. Show #89-13 has the same set list but with Shoot The Moon in the place of Riptide. Show #90-07 restores Riptide and drops Shoot The Moon...Show #04-28 is a shorter, one hour show, drawn from the same source with the tracks in a different order. There may be more, my list is not complete.

Right now, Palmer's late 70s and 80s output is in print on CD over at Culture Factory, in limited edition mini-lp format. My understanding is they have a print run of about 3,000 copies, so if you like this, hie thee over there and get 'em before you have to pay silly-money on Ebay.

Note:
There is a 1/2 second long vinyl defect in track 10 Every Kind Of People that could not be fixed. It wasn't a skip or debris embedded in the grooves, it was a pressing defect. I flattened the volume on the KRRRRSSSSS noise that was there to make it less annoying.

justdave note:

Although I didn't get this one directly from him or his site I do beleive this encoding is a Draftervoi product. It has all his signature touches to it.

Great sounding recording from Kansas' tour to promote Leftoverture, an album that peaked at #5 on the US Album Charts and went quadruple platinum. The PRRP people did a fine job putting this one together. They not only remastered a Pre-FM source for the Kansas show, they also included a radio interview with Kansas about the show (this was from an alternate source). Also from an alternate source is a recording of the nights opening act Ambrosia.

I got a feeling this one is going to be popular. Alvin Lee & Mick Taylor together jamming, what more should I say other than that. This boot is Air Guitar Heaven trust me.

from the liner notes:
Alvin Lee and Mick Taylor only toured together one time in 1981, for late October through early Dec. They started out in Europe and then played some shows in the U.S.A. very few recordings of this rock royalty pairing exist. The Firenze Show is perhaps the best soundboard of the tour.  Mick Taylor plays rhythm and lead guitar on the full show.  Alvin Lee has never let any other guitarist do full shows with him.  Only someone as great as Mick Taylor, who is a long time friend of Alvin Lee, would get the call from Alvin to tour for two months of shows.

The newest of my Avenged Sevenfold bootlegs is a soundboard DVD audio of the bands 2013 Rock Am Ring performance. A7X have appeared at the festival a few times now and have become quite the crowd favorite. At times the audience is singing along louder than M. Shadows. A great performance that includes a their latest single "Hail To The King" and the track "Burn It Down" which doesn't get played often. So all A7X fans download this one or your collection is not complete.

Originally from Niagra Falls Ontario Canada, hence the name, Honeymoon Suite formed in 1981. The band went through the various line up changes any knew band does, till lead guitarist Derry Grehan joined and became the bands main songwriter. Grehan wrote the song "New Girl Now" which the band submitted to and won an unsigned band competition by Q107 FM. The band was signed to a label and re-recorded "New Girl Now" for it's debut LP. The single reached #57 in the US and #23 in Canada. The band continued on for 3 albums before the split of the original line-up. Derry Grehan soldiered on till a reunion of the original line-up in 2007. The band was still active as of 2008 releasing the Clifton Hill CD. I got this one from Hear Rock City a while ago so thanks go out to them.

A nice sounding recording and a solid performance, from John Cafferty & Company at the peak of their success. I got this from Hear Rock City a while back so thanks go out to them. The Springsteen-esque sound of John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band was the perfect soundtrack to the story of Eddie and the Cruisers, a fictional band from Jersey that makes it big only to have it's lead vocalist disappear mysteriously. The band rode the success of the movie and soundtrack into the charts. More soundtrack work followed in Sylvester Stallone's Cobra and Rocky IV. Download this show that is full of all the bands hits  and a fine performance, too.
