We had a request for some Molly Hatchet a little while back, sorry it took me so long to get this up but it was worth the wait. This is a nice recording of Molly Hatchet kicking out their brand of Southern Rock Boogie with a Hard Rock heart. This one comes from the bands tour to promote their debut album Molly Hatchet. Ronnie Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd fame was a big fan of Molly Hatchet and had a lot to do with the band being signed to a recording contract. As a matter of fact Ronnie was scheduled to produce Molly Hatchet's debut album but died in a plane crash before the sessions began. The band pulls out a cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Gimme Three Steps" in tribute. Lead vocalist Danny Joe Brown passed away March 10, 2005 from renal failure at the age of 53. Danny had long suffered complications from diabetes and had a massive stroke in 1995. Duane Roland passed away a little over a year later June 19, 2006 from natural causes. He was also 53.

Awesome collection from Jeff Beck's Blow By Blow Tour. You get 2 great performances, one from Detroit and one from Milwaukee, and a guest spot by John McLaughlin. Jeff uses a Talk Box, probably a  Kustom Electronics Talk Box, for the vocals on "Superstition" just like on "She's A Woman". This early Talk Box was a bag worn over the musicians shoulder. If you have ever seen a live video of Nazareth playing "Hair Of The Dog", you have seen Dan McCafferty wearing such a device. These are dry soundboard recordings with very little audience noise.

Our first post from REO Speedwagon post at The New JDP comes from their 1977 appearance on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. The band was promoting the release of their first live album Live: You Get What You Play For. REO's star was on the rise, the next 6 albums would keep REO on the charts well into the 1980's. Their biggest success will come in 1980 with Hi Infidelity. That album would reach #1 on The Billboard Hot 200 and stay there for 15 weeks. 6 singles would be released and all 6 charted. I downloaded this from the old Hear Rock City blog so thanks go out to them!

I got this from Arizona Jones's's bootleg blog. This is the complete 2 day event. 2 of the biggest bands in rock at the time, in 2 very long shows. Lots of great jams. The Grateful Dead shows have some audience patches, The Allman Brothers Band shows are pure soundboard. I must confess I've never been a big Dead fan, I own 1 greatest hits collection and 2 live albums. My mom bought them for me for my birthday. She thought with a name like Grateful Dead and all the skulls and roses it had to be metal. We were both surprised. I've been a fan of The Allman Brothers Band since I first heard "Whipping Post" on the radio when I was quite young. This collection of recordings shows the reason why these 2 groups have always packed their live shows. Each band showing how they can jam on a theme, and deliver a hook that will catch you and keep you entranced. Plus Ronnie Montrose jumps on stage with The Allman Brothers Band for "Mountain Jam"  on June 9th.

This is a large file set so I have divided the download into 3 parts, all 3 parts needed to unzip.

Great but all too short recording from Savatage on The Wake of Magellan Tour. This audio comes from a bootleg DVD that is the only know pro shot footage of that tour. It might be short but this performance is a great representation of what Savatage was like live in the 1990's. The transformation into Trans-Siberian Orchestra is almost complete. The large arraignments and vocal cannon are all in place, the only thing missing is the orchestra. So fans of Trans-Siberian Orchestra who haven't actually heard Savatage should definitely check this one out.

Killer performance from Orange Goblin's appearance at the 2004 Roadburn Festival. Orange Goblin get lumped in with the Stoner Doom Metal bands but the band also has some Hardcore Punk in their system as well. Picture Motörhead if Lemmy was into Weed, Beer and Black Sabbath instead of Methamphetamine, Whiskey and The MC5 and you kind of get the picture.

* Scott Ian was with his wife who was having a baby so Andreas Kisser of Sepultura substituted. This  makes drummer Charlie Benante the only original member of the band at this performance.

** In early 2011, Jeff Hanneman contracted necrotizing fasciitis. According to the band, doctors say that it likely originated from a spider bite. Gary Holt of Exodus substituted. Jeff never returned to the line-up. He passed away on May 2, 2013 at the age of 49, from liver failure. The cause was determined to be from alcohol-related cirrhosis. Gary Holt has since been named a permanent member of Slayer.

justdave notes:
I edited the whole thing to run as one continuous show. Both DVD's ran for over 2 hours. This is a large file set so it has been divided into 2 parts, both parts needed to unzip.

This is a great example of what Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show were like live. This is before the disco influence took over, when the band was a rowdy mix of Country Music and Rock & Roll. During the show the whole band walks off stage together, then the whole band streaks back across the stage buck naked. Streaking was a huge fad in the US in the 1970's and Dr. Hook did it a lot at their shows. This is a great performance and a nice recording. If you are a Dr Hook fan you really do need this show for your collection. Billy Frances passed away, at the age of 68, May 23, 2010 from complications after stomach surgery. Jance Garfat was killed in a motorcycle accident November 6, 2006, he was 62. John Wolters died at the age of 52, June 16, 1997, from liver cancer.

justdave notes:
Sound quality is really good with a slight (very slight) trace of radio hiss at times. No drop outs or tape fades. The bands performance is excellent (of course).

Ripped from a white label vinyl bootleg LP. For those who don't know what a white label boot
is, it's just that, a record with a white label and no print on the jacket. Sometimes you would get a paper insert that told you the title and track list, most times the store owner wrote title and band name on the jacket. When I first distributed this recording I didn't have a date or location due to the fact that no info was on the jacket. A recent upload at The Traders Den has given me that missing info. That being said I must say this is my own encoding from my personal copy of this great bootleg.

The album was prepped with Pfan-Stat No.Sa-14 and the D4 ZeroStat Positive Ion Gun. Then played on a Sony PS-LX300H Turntable. It was tracked to a Maxell CDR-Music Pro disc with a Sony RCD-W500C CD Recorder using the super bit mapping setting. The waves were then imported to GoldWave v.5.04 for a passive pop/click fix ( I have found agressive pop/click fix will mess with sound quality) and track separation.

Shock Rock can trace it's lineage back to the flamboyant Screamin' Jay Hawkins, so it's rather fitting that Arthur Brown's cover of "I Put A Spell On You" is included here. Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson, Kiss, & King Diamond/Mercyful Fate all owe Arthur Brown money. Arthur Brown's extreme for the time stage make up definitely influenced the fore mentioned artists whether they admit it or not. His habit of finding new ways to set himself aflame on stage caused many promoters to force Brown to prove he had insurance against accidental fire damage. Many Heavy Metal artists have recorded versions of "Fire" most notably Ozzy Osbourne. The man has made a pretty big influence on the vast music scene, pretty good for a so called one hit wonder. Even Peter Gabriel admits a great debt to Brown for influencing his live performance style.

Nice sounding recording of a special show for Progressive Metal band Amorphis. The band plays a 30 minute acoustic set before plugging in for another 50 minutes. Of special note is the acoustic "clean vocal" version of "Sign From The North". The song  comes from Amorphis' debut album The Karelian Isthmus, which was a pure Death Metal album, the Progressive elements would come in later releases.

A Hans Devente tape as edited by Draftervoi

 
Draftervoi's Notes:
One of Hans Devente's tapes, posted in December 2014 to a blog that's no longer there...I removed a bit of hiss, chaptered the songs, cleaned up a few pops...it's still hissy, but there's not much available from this early in the band's history.
