Roots Of Heavy Metal post #4

This period of Rush where the band expanded on their Progressive Rock tendencies was crucial in the development of today's Progressive Metal scene. Such bands as Fates Warning, Tiles, and Dream Theater may not exist. The band was experimenting with longer songs and more complex time signatures, elements that would live on in today's Progressive Metal.

This show captures, if what Geddy Lee says is true, Rush's first visit to Tuscon, Arizona. The band performs all the long tracks, "2112", "Xanadu", "Cygnus X-1", and "Hemispheres". The entire Hemispheres LP is included in the set as well. The show is also notable because the audience has to be told a few times to calm down and step back because people are being pushed up against the barricades. Geddy Lee tries a few times stating that the stage was starting to lean. When Geddy is unable to get the crowd to stop surging forward, a  roadie for the band comes out and tells the audience that if the stage falls people could be killed, that seems to do the trick and the show continues.

Roots Of Heavy Metal post # 3

While Don Dokken was in Germany in 1981 recording tracks that would become the first Dokken album Breaking The Chains, he was approached by the German Metal band Scorpions. Scorpions' lead vocalist Klaus Meine was undergoing surgery on his vocal cords and it wasn't clear when or if Klaus would be able to return to the band. Don Dokken worked in the studio with Scorpions on the demos which would become the bands commercial break through LP Blackout. Depending on the stories you hear Don Doken was or was not supposed to replace Klaus Meine as vocalist, however Klaus returned to the band, Don Dokken was used as a backing vocalist and returned to his own career.

This recording does show a  little age but is listenable and enjoyable.

Roots Of Heavy Metal Post #2

New York Thrash Metal pioneers Overkill were included on Metal Blade Record's Metal Massacre Vol.V. From there the band released a self recorded EP which got the attention of Megaforce Records. Megaforce signed the band and released their Feel The Fire full length debut. Atlantic Records took notice of the Underground Heavy Metal scene and inked a deal with Megaforce Records to release Megaforce LPs as joint releases. The first album to be released by Megaforce/Atlantic was Overkill's second full length Taking Over. Overkill did not reach the commercial success of other first wave Thrash Metal bands such as Metallica, Slayer, & Anthrax but have had a long career with a very loyal following (one of my favorite f@#king bands JD). The band continues to this day having released their 17th album White Devil Armory, in 2015. A recording from the bands 2015 Rock Hard Festival appearance can be downloaded here.

This is Roots Of Heavy Metal post #1

The info text included with the bootleg when I received it stated that Ruthie's Inn  was in Sn Francisco California. Thanks go out to Draftervoi and The L-RV for giving me the correct info. Ruthie's Inn was located in Berkley, California. Please update the info text included in the download to reflect this new info.

Slayer had not yet released their break through album Reign In Blood when this recording was made. As a matter of fact they had only just released their EP Haunting The Chapel. This recording has the first ever live performance of "Necrophiliac", which would be included on Slayer's second LP Hell Awaits. The other cool thing about this Slayer show is the inclusion of "Chrionics" in the set list. This song was rarely played live as Tom Araya states in the songs intro. To have a soundboard quality recording of this track is a real treat for a Slayer fanatic.

This is a great sounding performance from a band in transition. Fleetwood Mac had undergone quite a few line up changes in their career, with those changes would come musical style shifts. The band had just lost singer guitarist Bob Welch to a solo career. In his place they hired Lindsey Buckingham who insisted on his girlfriend Stevie Nicks be hired as well. The bands music would take another musical turn when the Buckingham / Nicks songwriting machine got into high gear. The bands popularity would skyrocket after the release of the multi-platinum Rumors, which has sold over 20 million units world wide.

Makoto Ozone is a Jazz & Classical piano prodigy. He started playing organ at the age of 2. At the age of 12 he switched to piano after hearing the great Oscar Peterson's records. At the age of 19 he entered Berklee College of Music. This project finds him arraigning Mozart's 9th Piano Concerto for Jazz Orchestra & Piano. You do not have to be a fan of Classical Music to enjoy this recording, the arraignment is pure Jazz. This recording comes as one long file, and since the performance is continuous I decided not to index the tracks and left it as is.

With Tuckerized The Marshall Tucker band tried to court the Country Radio Top 40 Charts. The band had always been a blend of Country Music, Jazz, R & B, Blues, and Rock & Roll. The Country Music elements were brought more to the fore, while the rest was minimized. The band also allowed the producers to supply most of the songs, writing only 2 themselves. Toy Caldwell's "Sea Dreams & Fairy Tales" and George McCorckle's "Sweet Elaine". The rest were written by outside writers including the Randy Newman penned "Mr. President". Only 2 more studio albums would be released before the band would fracture. Doug Gray and Jerry Eubanks remained but the rest of the band left after 1983's Greetings from South Carolina.
