Jimi Hendrix died September 18, 1970 at the age of 27, from asphyxia by choking on his own vomit, while intoxicated on barbiturates.

Nazareth on tour to promote their 15th album, The Catch. Nazareth was back to it's classic 4 man line-up after the departure of Billy Rankin. Billy would be asked to return to Nazareth after Manny Charlton announced his retirement in 1990. Billy remained in the band until 1994 when Jimmy Murrison joined the fold. Through out the guitar player shuffles the rhythm section remained intact with Pete Agnew & Darrell Sweet holding down the bottom end. Darrel Sweet passed away April 30, 1999, at the age of 51, from a heart attack while on tour in the US. Pete Agnew's son Lee took over on drums. Pete is now the sole founding member left in the band after Dan McCafferty announced his retirement from the band. Dan suffers from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and can no longer find the strength to tour. He hand picked a his own replacement and said he will always be involved with Nazareth. Some where I have a recording with the new singer, I'll find it then post it later.

The Ramones on tour to promote End Of The Century. The Ramones 5th studio album was recorded with legendary Wall Of Sound producer Phil Spector at the helm. The band admits that End Of The Century was written to broaden their audience. The grab for commercial appeal was not welcome to a lot of core Ramones fans. The album was the bands highest charting of their career. The reviews were mixed, as some critics praised the effort, while others simply trashed it. Sadly we have lost all 4 founding members of The Ramones. Joey Ramone died on April 15, 2001 from lymphoma at the age of 49. Dee Dee Ramone, who left the band in 1989, died from a heroin overdose June 5, 2002 at the age of 50. Johnny Ramone died at the age of 55 from prostate cancer September 15, 2004. Original drummer Tommy Ramone, who left the band in 1978, passed away July 11, 2014 from bile duct cancer at the age of 65.

This is one bad ass performance from Savatage as they promote their Gutter Ballet release. The album was a turning point for the band, as Jon Oliva was steering the band toward a more theatrical style of music. This release actually was the first step toward the band morphing into Trans-Siberian Orchestra. As the arraignments got bigger another guitarist/keyboardist was needed so Chris Caffery was recruited for the job. He had been touring with the band before hand but was kept off stage, for The Gutter Ballet Tour Chris became a full member of the band. Chris would bounce in and out of the band a couple times but has been a permanent member since 1995. Jon Oliva would actually leave the band in 1992 to focus on the band Doctor Butcher and work on a Broadway musical. Zachary Stevens would be named as Jon's replacement. Sadly Chris Oliva was killed on October 17, 1993 in an auto accident when a drunk driver struck Chris's car head on, he was only 30.

My first exposure to The Cramps was when I watched Urgh! A Music War on IT-TV when I was in high school. The movie had performances from quite a few bands that would shape the Punk/Post Punk/New Wave scenes in The US and The UK. The Dead Kennedys, The Police, 999, X, and XTC to name just a few. If you haven't seen it and you love the early stuff, seek it out you won't be disappointed. Most of the bands were featured in one performance, The Police being the only featured more than once. After seeing the movie I sought out material from the bands I had seen. Now the first Cramps album that I had was the 1986 release A Date With Elvis and it was one of the first CD's I bought when I started upgrading my collection to that format. This short BBC broadcast features 4 songs from A Date With Elvis. Sadly The Cramps are no more. They broke up after Lux Interior passed away February 4, 2009 from an aortic dissection at the age of 62.

The video for "Sabatage" was nominated in 5 different categories for the 1994 MTV Video Awards but lost every category. The band would release 4 more studio albums before Adam "MCA" Yauch would pass away from salivary gland cancer May 4, 2012, he was 47.

One of the then more controversial performances on Kirshner, the New York Dolls performance didn't go over well with the California audience. The crowd noise is dubbed from a Rufus and Chaka Kahn performance that same evening that was a lot better received. The Dolls were promoting their second Mercury album Too Much Too Soon but included tracks from both LP's. Mercury would drop the band from their roster shortly afterwards.

Formed in 1971, the Dolls got there big break when Rod Stewart invited them to open for his London show. Sadly, original drummer Billy Murcia died of accidental drowning shortly after the gig, when he passed out from a combination of drugs and alcohol. After auditioning Marc Bell (later Markey Ramone), they chose Jerry Nolan and the line up that would influence/kick start the New York Punk Rock scene was complete. 2 albums later and the Dolls would fray and unravel under a haze of drug addiction and disillusion.

David Johanson would go on to a respected solo career, and to perform as Buster Poindexter (earning him his biggest hit with "Hot, Hot, Hot"). Arthur "Killer" Kane would struggle with addiction to emerge a clean and sober member of the Mormon Church. He passed away from leukemia at the age of 55 on July 13, 2004. Johnny Thunders would go on to form The Heartbreakers with Jerry Nolan earning punk legend status before dying from an overdose of heroin and methadone at 38 in New Orleans on April 23 1991. Jerry Nolan would pass at the age of 45, on January 14, 1992 from a stroke brought on by bacterial meningitis.

David Johanson and Sylvain Sylvain continue to tour as the New York Dolls to this day.

1976 was not the best of years for Elvis Presley. His health was in serious decline from the prescription drugs he constantly took, he suffered from depression over his failed marriage and paranoia, he thought Priscilla's new boyfriend was trying to kill him. Elvis also lost interest in recording new music, much to RCA's dismay. Elvis's live performances suffered as well. He would forget lyrics or deliver them in a slur. Elvis had become so weak at times he would hold on to the mic stand for dear life. By time 1977 came Elvis was over weight, and his health was failing due to heavy drug use. A tell all book written by 3 fired employees made known Elvis's drug use, which made Elvis even more depressed. On August 16, 1977 Elvis Presley passed away in his private bathroom. It's still a hot topic as to how Elvis actually died. It's said he died from a drug overdose, it's also said it was an accidental overdose due to over prescribing, yet another doctor says that it was a sudden and violent heart attack not directly related to the 14 drugs that were found in his system.

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.

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.

"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.
