Original uploader julsay told this story about his recording:
I recorded the early show via my discreet soundboard patch (cables plugged in and “hanging out” under the seat directly in front of the board). I had no plans to stay for the late show, but then my friend the soundman told me that Bill Bruford was looking to borrow a DAT to record the late show.

I was then introduced to Bill, and he told me the story: they had rented a mobile recording truck to record the tour, but they got stuck in bad weather in Rochester. Bill loved the sound of the venue from the early show and wanted to chronicle the late show in some (inexpensive) way. We struck a deal whereby I would “go home to get my DAT” (I of course did not tell him that I had it with me or that I recorded the early show) to record the late show and, in exchange, I could run a cassette version for myself (he offered to send me a cassette copy of the DAT, but I suspected that would never actually happen, so I told him I’d bring a cassette deck as well).

So I did in fact go home, picked up my trusted Sony TCD-5M, dropped off the early show master DAT tape, and went back to the venue. I then proceeded to do as arranged: I recorded both to DAT (for Bill) and cassette (for me). I’ve made hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of board masters, but I can’t recall another time of a British Prog Musician actually allowing someone to patch in.

Pretty cool...Bill actually allowed this recording to be made by a fan and now we have it for our collection.

If you enjoy the work of  Nils Petter Molvaer your gonna want to try this show out for size. Jon Hassell blends Minimalism, Electronics and World Music with Jazz to create a very ambient form of Jazz called Fourth World. I don't care what they call it, I love it! I got this show from BigO, I really recommend that site for MP3 downloads of all kinds.

What BigO Said About This Show:
American trumpet player and composer Jon Hassell is known for developing the musical concept known as “Fourth World,” which sees him unify ideas from minimalism, various world music sources, and his electronic manipulation of the trumpet. He has collaborated with artists such as Brian Eno, The Theatre of Eternal Music, Talking Heads, Farafina, Peter Gabriel, Ani DiFranco, and Ry Cooder.

justdave's notes:
I used Goldwave to convert the video MP4 into a 16 bit wave. I also used Goldwave to make track edits and fix some volume consistancy issues. No EQ, noise reduction or remastering was done. The MP4 had lossy audio so the waves were encoded to MP3 320kbps using Traders Little Helper.

I have 2 versions of this video. This version had the best audio, but the video is blurry. The second version has a clearer picture, although the audio has a lot of issues. This is the only soundboard recording I have by Lacuna Coil that has not been officially released.

justdave's notes:
I ran my DVD player through my stereo which is a Sony TA-AV561 AV Control Integrated Amplifier. I recorded the audio on a Maxell CD-R Music-Pro using a Sony RCD-W500C Compact Disc Recorder, using the Super Bit Mapping funtion. Track edits and fades were made with Goldwave v.5.04. The DVD had LPCM Lossless Audio which was confirmed using Gspot v2.7a. I then used Traders Little Helper to encode the waves to Flac Level8 and align the sector boundaries.

justdave's notes:
 I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to even out the volume and to re-edit a couple track marks. I also  had to smooth out some transitions where commercials were obviously extracted. No EQ or noise reduction was used. The waves were lossy so I used Traders Little Helper to encoded them to MP3 320kbps.

All The Jazz! Half The Metal! And Speedy Too!!!

 Sorry it's been a while since we posted anything but Rosebud and I have been a little busy both on the blog and in our life. First The Blog.

First bit of blog news is We want to drop a line here about our Good Friend at So Many Roads To Ease My Soul. Our Friend Speedy has written a book Ten Rules Of The Road I Learned At My First Concert ...An Ordinary Guy's Life Time Of Live Rock And Roll and it's been published!! Speedy is a great guy and has some awesome stories from his own Rock & Roll Life Experience. I will be putting a more permanent link in the near future but for now...

Order Speedy's Book Ten Rules Of The Road I Learned At My First Concert ...An Ordinary Guy's Life Time Of Live Rock And Roll Here!!

We have new posts from Jean-Luc Ponty, Return To Forever, and The Black Crowes. We have The 2nd Installment of Rosebud's Salute To Her Favorite Singers. This time it's 2 shows from Geoff Tate (freakin' vocal God) and Queensryche. Coming up in that series is shows from Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Paul Rogers, David Bowie, Grace Slick, Freddy Mercury and more. We also have the 1st show from Prog-Rockers Marillion to be posted on the blog.

As for old post that need new links, all of the Jazz links have been fixed so it's time to go through that archive to see if you missed anything. We have also started re-posting links for all Hard Rock and Heavy Metal shows. We are about halfway through that archive so the Metal will all be back soon as well. We are almost done, we have Classic Rock, Prog-Rock, Funk, Soul and R & B shows to re-post but we have a big amount of that mountain of work chopped down.

I had a biopsy recently, which was one year since the cancer diagnosis. The preliminary results show some growth in the tumor and my blood work shows all the bad numbers (PSA etc) have gone up (which explains why I'm so damn tired lately). The past few weeks I have been thinking over all the treatment options that my Doctor has put forward. I will be meeting with him again on the 29th of September to discuss them again at length. Rosebud and I Thank You So Much for letting us share this part of our life journey with you.

In the end what we really want to say is ..there is a lot more free music available from The New JDP and there will be a whole lot more to come...

Don't Forget Requests For Links To Be Fixed Are Always Welcome!!

Thank You All!!

Our 1st post from British Prog-Rockers Marillion is a fabulous Pre-FM Recording from the tour to promote their 2nd LP Fugazi. I learned about Marillion around 1984/85 through this kid Mike who my 1st wife had babysat in the past. He lived next door to wear she lived when her and I started dating. He had this great record collection, which was full of imports, minor label  and local releases.

We discovered Raven, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, & Manowar together. Every weekend I would spend a few hours talking music with Mike. One day he pulls out a few new albums he had ordered which included an album from Manilla Road, Marillion and Onslaught (British Thrash!!). He played a little of all 3 before he had to leave. I borrowed the Onslaught album and taped it. At the time I wasn't into Prog-Rock. I didn't come back to Prog-Rock and Marillion till the 1990's when I saw the Yes Union Tour (Awesome!!).

This Pre-FM from the Tour for Fugazi takes me back to those days when al of us Hardcore Punk Rockers and Metal Heads got together to create a new Music. Prog-Rock had no part in the Thrash Metal Movement. Like Punk Rock we wanted our music without the over indulgence that Prog-Rock could get bogged down in. Thank The Gods Of Music For Bands Like Marillion who kept the flag of Prog-Rock going.

So download this Pre-FM show from Marillion when they were considered The Rising Stars Of Neo-Progressive Rock.

No source information was given with this show except that it was a Pre-FM source and the lineage. I posted this show before but it was an MP3 224kbps encoding of a FM Broadcast Recording. I am so happy to have found a Pre-FM source to share. If you downloaded the previous version you're going to want this sonic upgrade. If you're just starting your Keith Jarrett collection this is the best show to start with. I included the artwork BigO made for the previous FM version.

Great sounding Jazz Tribute To The Grateful Dead. The group has been together for some years and has had a few line-up changes but they always kick ass. There are a few shows in circulation, this one was my first taste of the band. You can't miss with members of Mahavishnu Orchestra, Weather Report, & Dixie Dreggs. I don't really know much about Widespread Panic (didn't they have a radio hit in the 1990s?) but keyboardist Jimmy Hearing does an awesome job. Throw in guest appearances by Merl Saunders (the show's opening act as well) and Jeff Mosier, well you get the point. Download this awesome show now.

The second in Rosebud's Tribute To Glenn Hughes is a great show from Glenn's South American Tour playing a Deep Purple MKIII Set. When asked why he was out touring playing these songs he said (and I paraphrase here) "Someone has too". I agree wholeheartedly. At one point there had been talk of reforming the Deep Purple MKIII line-up. Ritchie Blackmore however said it would be hard to convince Ian Pace to do it. Lars Ulrich of Metallica offered to play if Pace wouldn't. The idea was put to rest when John Lord passed away. Personally as a Metallica fan (pre-Black Album sorry) I would rather see another drummer do the job. Lars can not swing like Ian (all drummers say Ian's swing style is hard to cop). That being said this backing band kicks ass. I wish Hughes & Coverdale would tour this material together but damn does Glenn do a great job with out him. It's interesting to hear him sing songs Dave took the main lead on like "Sail Away" & "Mistreated".

This post serves up a package of 2 different versions of the recording. Both versions start with the originally posted FM Master recording. The first version is edited to remove as much DJ chatter as possible without losing music. The second version is also remastered as well as edited. It makes for a fine package, added is the cover art that BigO magazine used when they hosted the original master at their site.

This is a very large file set, both flac & MP3. The flac CDs have been uploaded separately, the MP3 was uploaded in 2 parts. All parts will unzip separately as well.

Recorded as an intended Black Sabbath album or a Tony Iommi solo album, that's still in contention but these sessions stayed unreleased for a long time. Tony Iommi finally re-recorded most of it (keyboards & drums) for the DEP Sessions CD. Dave Holland's drum tracks were wiped because Iommi wanted to distance himself from Holland. Dave Holland (of Judas Priest) had been convicted of molesting a mentally challenged 17 year old boy in 2004. The boy had been taking drum lessons from Holland. Dave maintains he is innocent. Dave Holland was living in A Fonsagrada, Spain when he died January 16, 2018. It was later reported that he had died from lung cancer, Holland was 69. Additional keyboards were also added by Geoff Nichols & Mike Exeter before the official release.

This is the first in a couple Rosebud Picks in tribute to another favorite singer of hers Glenn Hughes. Like me Rosebud feels the Glenn Hughes-David Coverdale era of Deep Purple is very underrated by a lot of Rock & Rollers. Some Purple fans love Deep Purple MKIII some don't. Personally I am a fan of all Deep Purple line-ups but one. The line-up with Joe Lynn Turner, if Ritchie Blackmore wanted to make another Rainbow album he should have reformed that band. I'm not a big fan of Rainbow's Joe Lynn Turner era either but that's just my opinion (it's not that I hate it either just my least favorite I guess), Rosebud loves it (LOL).
