Robin Trower with James  Dewar on bass and vocals on tour to promote the Twice Removed From Yeterday LP. This line-up would only last one more album and tour then Reg Isidore would be replaced by Bill Lordan. This is a fabulous performance featuring not only tracks from Twice Removed From Yesterday but you also get early versions of Bridge Of Sighs tracks. "Lady Love", "Little Bit Of Sympathy", and "Day Of The Eagle" (which has slightly different lyrics) are all given the live test before being recorded. James Dewar would front the Robin Trower Band for 10 years and 9 albums. James became disabled in 1987 after a botched medical procedure and could no longer perform. We lost James Dewar to a stroke May 16, 2002 at the age of 59. Reg Isidore would reunite with Robin Trower to record the album Truce which also featured Jack Bruce. Reg Isidore passed away on March 22, 2009 from a heart attack, he was 59.

When Fleetwod Mac was inducted into the Rock & Rol Hall Of Fame, Bob Welch was not included. This was a serious blow to Welch who had been the guitarist/vocalist for Fleetwood Mac for 3 years and 4 albums. Bob Welch left the group in 1974 to pursue different ventures.  First was the Hard Rock power trio Paris, which recorded 2 albums before disbanding. Bob then released his first solo album French Kiss. French Kiss reached #12 on the US Charts and spawned 3 hits, "Ebony Eyes" #14, "Sentimental Lady" #8, and "Hot Love, Cold World" #31. Bob Welch died on June 7, 2012, from a self inflicted gunshot at the age of 66. Welch had suffered health issues and was told by doctors he would not improve.

A short but sweet recording from Lynyrd Skynyrd's tour to promote Second Helping. The bands second album would be the last to feature drummer Bob Burns. Burns left at the end of the tour because he didn't like life on the road. Artimus Pyle would join as his replacement before the recording of Nuthin' Fancy. Guitarist Ed King wold leave the band during the tour to promote Nuthin' Fancy for the same reasons. His replacement would be Steve Gaines. On October 20, 1977 we lost Ronnie Van Zant age 29, Steve Gaines age 28, and Cassie Gaines age 29, when the bands airplane went down due to loss of fuel. Allen Collens survived the crash but seemed to be plagued with bad luck afterwards. He lost his wife Kathy suddenly in 1980. The resulting depression and downward spiral into drugs and alcohol culminated in an auto accident that took the life of his girlfriend and left Allen paralyzed from the waist down and unable to play guitar. He died January 23, 1990 from chronic pneumonia. Keyboardist Billy Powell was lost to us at the age of 56 to a heart attack on January 28, 2009. Bassist Leon Wilkeson died at the age of 49 from natural causes related to his long term lung and liver disease.

Soundboard recording from Toto's tour to promote their 4th studio release Toto IV. The album was Toto's commercial breakthrough,  with 3 Top Ten Singles, "Rosanna" #2, "Africa" #1, and "I Won't Hold You Back" #10. "Make Believe", "Waiting for Your Love", and "Afraid of Love" were also released as singles to lesser degrees of success making a total of 6 singles. The album itself hit #1 in Australia, Canada, and Norway, #4 in The UK, USA and Italy and #3 in Japan. Toto IV is certified platinum 3 times over, and earned a total of 6 Grammy Awards. We lost Jeff Porcaro at the age of 38 on August 5, 1992 from heart failure. Jeff had sprayed insecticide in his yard and became very ill, dying later that day in the hospital. The band cites an allergic reaction as the official cause of death, while a Coroner's report lists the cause as a heart attack from atherosclerosis induced by cocaine use. Bassist Mike Porcaro is no longer touring with the band after being diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, which now has him confined to a wheelchair.

When Steve Mariott left The Small Faces in 1968, in the middle of a gig, the band was left without a lead singer and guitar player. The problem was solved by hiring Rod Stewart to sing and Ron Wood to play guitar. The band changed the name to The Faces, in part because Rod & Ron were much taller than the rest of the band. The bands music had evolved too so a name change was due. The band lasted for 4 studio albums and one live one. The members of The Faces also took part in the recording of Rod Stewart's solo albums that were released at that time. The band split up in 1975 as Rod Stewart's solo career began to overshadow the groups efforts. We lost Ronnie Lane June 4, 1997 to pneumonia, a complication from his multiple sclerosis, he was 51. We lost Ian McLagan December 3, 2014 to a stroke at the age of 69.

This is one of the few Grateful Dead bootlegs that I have. It's a nice Pre-FM recording from their 1990 tour. The band was just recovering from the loss of keyboardist Brent Mydland to a drug overdose. Mydland had been with the Dead for 11 years, longer than any other keyboardist. The loss of Mydland greatly affected Jerry Garcia, who believed the chemistry of the band would never be the same. Jerry's drug use increased during this period to the point where several rehab stays came in the following years. Jerry's health also started to decline. We lost Jerry Garcia on August 9, 1995 to a heart attack, he was 53.  Keyboardist Vince Welnick was a former member of The Tubes before joining the Grateful Dead in 1990. He continued to play keyboards for the band until Jerry Garcia's death. Welnick also played with Bob Weir'sRat Dog after the Dead split up. Vince Welnick commit suicide on June 2, 2006 after a long bout of mental and physical illness, he was 55.

Nice sounding recording from Black Sabbath's tour to promote the Headless Cross album. The first of which to feature the powerhouse talents of drummer Cozy Powell. Cozy would play on 3 Black Sabbath studio albums, Headless Cross, Tyr and Forbidden. Cozy was quite the Rock & Roll journeyman playing on over 60 albums in his life time. Stints with Rainbow, The Jeff Beck Group, The Brian May Band, and E.L.P to name just a few had made the man quite famous. Cozy Powell died at the age of 50 in a car crash. It's estimated that he was traveling in excess of 100 miles per hour, while talking on a cell phone in bad weather. All these factors contributed to his accident.

Ronnie James Dio formed the band Dio after leaving/being fired from Black Sabbath (depending on who is telling the story). The band Dio's music fit well right between the Power Metal of his Rainbow days and the Doom Metal of Black Sabbath. This made it easy for Ronnie to feature songs from the most popular eras of his career. Ronnie's Elf material as well as his Do Wop days were left untouched. Ronnie James Dio was diagnosed with stomach cancer November of 2009. Ronnie underwent treatment and was reported to be responding well. Ronnie lost his battle with cancer on May 16, 2010, the disease had metastasized through out his body.

Nice recording made by King  Biscuit Flower Hour while Kiss was on tour to promote their 12th studio album Animalize. Animalize was the debut of Kiss' 3rd lead guitarist Mark St. John. Mark had been a guitar tutor and session player before joining Kiss. Mark's tenure in the band was rather short. He was diagnosed with Reiter's Syndrome while the band rehearsed for the up coming tour. Bruce Kulick was enlisted to sub for Mark, who started out on the Animalize Tour. Bruce would wait in the wings ready to perform if Mark was unable to. Mark played his final gig with Kiss on November 29, 1984. Mark St. John died on April 5, 2007 from a brain hemorrhage bought on by an accidental overdose of methamphetamine, he was 51. Eric Carr, who replaced Peter Criss in 1980, died from heart cancer November 24, 1991 the same day as Freddie Mercury, Eric was only 41.

It's with a heavy heart that I make this post in tribute to Joe Cocker who lost his battle with lung cancer December 22, 2014 at the age of 70. Joe Cocker's music is very important to Rosebud and I. I sang "You Are So Beautiful" to her the night I proposed. If you have been around The New JDP since the beginning you might remember from an earlier post that I proposed to Rosebud at a Black Sabbath/Pantera show. Well I was a little more romantic once we got home from that concert. I turned on a karaoke tape of "You Are So Beautiful", sang the song and went down on one knee.

Joe Cocker followed and played a stellar headlining set. For the encore prayers were answered and Stevie Ray Vaughan came out and jammed with Joe Cocker and his band. I am so glad that I actually was able to see those awe inspiring sets. Rest in peace Joe, Rock & Roll Never Forgets!

Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter met and married in 1969. Jessi had a career in Nashville as a songwriter under the name of  Miriam Eddy. After marrying Waylon she changed her name to Jessi Colter and signed to RCA Records as a solo artist. Waylon & Jessi had one son Waylon Albright "Shooter" Jennings. Waylon took time off the road in 1997 to be with his family, and earn a GED diploma to set an example for his son about the importance of education. Shooter ended up a musician any way. We lost Waylon Jennings on February 13, 2002. Waylon died in his sleep from complications from his diabetes, he was 64.

Metallica on the ill fated tour to promote Master Of Puppets, their third studio release. I got to see Metallica on this tour supporting Ozzy Osbourne at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. There is a bootleg DVD of this gig floating around, part of which is included on Cliff'em All, Metallica's first home video release. The sound check and set up was taking long and the doors were opened a little late. The crowd outside started chanting "Let's Go Damn It!" and pushed the barricades into the street blocking traffic. The doors were opened and as I entered the main floor area I noticed the chairs were not even set up. The crew was still setting up the barricade in front of the stage, as well. The crowd started chanting for Metallica and soon the group was on. A mosh pit stated which surprised the Joe Louis Arena security who had Metallica stop the show. The front barricade was moved back another 3 feet and the concert started again. When Ozzy came on after Metallica the barricade was moved back another 3 feet by security. You have to remember Metallica was one of the first Thrash/Speed Metal bands to play such an arena, most of their piers were still playing clubs. The security for Joe Louis Arena had no idea what to expect, such shows are common place now. Metallica along with Anthrax and Slayer lead the underground, extreme at the time Metal bands out of the underground to the commercial masses. We lost Cliff Burton on September 27, 1986 in Dörarp, Sweden when the bands tour bus lost control and flipped multiple times. While James, Kirk, and Lars sustained only minor injuries, Cliff Burton was killed when the bus landed on top of him, he was 24.

This is a great performance from Ray Charles and a nice sounding recording, too. This wasn't a very good time period for Ray when it came to commercial success, his record sales and air play declined dramatically. One bright moment came in April of 1979, when Ray's version of "Georgia On My Mind" was made the official state song for the state of Georgia. I was lucky enough to catch Ray Charles on tour a few short years before his death. He said it was his birthday and the backup singers lead the audience in singing "Happy Birthday" to Ray. Ray Charles died on June 10, 2004 from acute liver disease, he was 73.

Did The Lizard King really die in that bathtub in Paris, or did he fake his own death to run off and live in Africa as a poet? There was always some kind of theory or story that supported that fact. There was an account of a hitchhiker in Rolling Stone magazine, that claimed he was picked up by Morrison and given a ride back to Morrison's hidden home where they indulged in women and drugs for days. The death of Jim Morrison will always be shrouded in mystery due to the fact no autopsy was performed. Also it's been said that when some one arrived in Paris to find out what happened, Jim was in a sealed casket and Pamela had a signed death certificate. The official ruling was Jim Morrison died of heart failure due to a heroin overdose July 3, 1971, he was 27. Ray Manzarek died from bile duct cancer May 20, 2013, he was 74.
