Keith Jarrett piano

Keith Jarrett solo on the piano in front of a live audience. I love listening to that. Keith Jarrett had 2 strokes in 2018. One in February then another in May. Since recovering Keith can only play piano with one hand. His left side of his body is partially paralyzed. For those who never caught Keith Jarrett live there is thankfully some very nice recordings to at least hear him live.

This show was originally downloaded from The Live Jazz Lounge. Every once in a while I post a show from his site because there is so much stuff there that Jazz fans really need to visit the site. I am sure there is stuff there I may not like but you will. So you may never know it was downloadable until you visit the place.

It's been a little while since we posted any Country Music and it just so happens I had a taste for some Outlaw Country last night. Around the time of this recording Hank Williams Jr.'s star was burning as bright as the end of a home grown roll in the country moonlight. Hank was crossing over into the mainstream quite a lot because Southern Rock was huge on Album Rock Radio stations. Before I retired I had this young redneck kid working for me that I really liked (and I say redneck having a family that came from Kentucky to Detroit for Auto assembly work so no hate). His parents named him Sawyer as in Tom Sawyer. He hated it. With no middle name to go by he started calling himself Bubba (truth!). He couldn't understand that Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker, Pure Prarie League, and Hank Williams Jr wasn't played on Country Radio. The same way others his age can't imagine why they would be played on Rock Radio. So anyway here is a great look at Bocephus when even my Grandmother knew who he was.

Like everyone else, there are some bands that I only like certain periods of. Some bands go through a lot of style shifts in there career. At these times some long time fans leave the circle of appreciation as new ones enter. It happens, as I said, to me too. I have appreciation for early and late Rolling Stones  but my only CD purchases when upgrading my collection was The Mick Taylor era. I was a Metallica fan from the demo days. The last Metallica CD I bought was Master Of Puppets. I was gifted And Justice For All, which I like but that doesn't count as the last of theirs I bought. I have the Remaster Box Sets, but I don't listen to any Geneses after Abacab. I don't own a Rainbow album after Down To Earth, or a Ted Nugent album after State Of Shock. I gave up on Rod Stewart when Blondes Have More Fun came out. U2 I discovered on an early tour of America when they played Harpo's Theater in Detroit. I hung out there a lot because I was in a Metal band and Harpo's was a Metal/Rock bar. When U2 played I went, it was cheap. I loved it, I went to a Harmony House the next day to buy some U2. I think it was Boy, it was a hell of an album. I did not buy Achtung Baby, my last U2 album was Rattle And Hum.

This is over 2 hours of Rattle And Hum era live U2. U2 are joined on stage buy the Legendary B.B. King (R.I.P.) and his orchestra. Can't miss with this CD which is a compilation of a 3 day run of shows in Dublin, Ireland. It doesn't get much better.

Rosebud & I share a great love for all things Motown. We've seen The Temptations with The Four Tops many times together. When our ticket agent (yep I had a ticket agent on call then) called and said that we could get some Stevie Wonder tickets before the public sale we said hell yes. I called my buddy Snot (his nickname lol) to ask if him and his then wife would like to go. They said yes, I told them I can get hill tickets for 75 US dollars (he was playing Pine Knob Amphitheater). They agreed so I purchased the tickets. The night of the show Rosebud was ill, but she told me to go without her. Stevie Wonder tickets are hard to get. In the Detroit area they sell faster than a 1 penny rock of crack to Tyrone Biggums. I went to grab Snot and his wife before the show. They wanted to follow me because they hadn't been to Pine Knob before. Snot's wife had on a mini skirt and spiked heals. I reminded Snot we had lawn tickets and his wife snapped. She wasn't going to sit on the hill for 75 dollars. I told her she could use the tickets for trade in value at the box office for better seats if any were available. I then told her pavilion seats started at 250 dollars. I also said if you don't use the tickets you're still paying me for them. They went and my God it sucked having her complain about everything. The distance to the bar. Her heals digging int the dirt. Sitting in the grass with a skirt. The mosquitoes were biting her legs. Finally Snot said he was taking her home, 5 songs into Stevie's set no less. They left, there had been this couple in front of us smoking weed and enjoying the night. After Snot and his wife were gone the woman turns to me, hands me a fat joint and said "I thought that bitch would never leave". So Rosebud's Tribute To Her Favorite Singers continues with Stevie Wonder.

Rosebud & I first saw Disturbed live during their first time on the Ozzfest Tour. The Ozzfest advertisement said there would be some unsigned bands on the tour that year. Disturbed, Slipknot, and Apartment 26 (featuring Geezer Butler's son) were all on the side stage that year. I remember those 3 were unsigned at the time of joining the tour. Also on the side stage that year (if my memory is correct) were, Incubus, and hed P.E. Disturbed sounded great the sound was nice and clear, so you could actually here them play. Rosebud & I both liked them. Their escaped psychiatric ward stage look was a nice touch, orange jumpsuits and all. We made a note to keep an eye out for the CD release. Slipknot followed Disturbed. I remember turning to Rosebud after they started playing and said "These guys are gonna be huge." to which she said "And Disturbed will have to find a new stage look." Incubus followed Slipknot, and hed P.E. followed Incubus. My buddy John the 3rd who was with us just said "To much going on with the turntables, didgeridoo, and rapping", then turned to go eat lunch. We didn't find him till after Black Sabbath's  encore. When Rosebud & I went for lunch, we sat down in the only 2 chairs open by each other. They were at hed P.E. singer M.C.U.D.'s table. We sat and talked with that guy for a while. He was very cool. Any way Rosebud's Tribute To Her Favorite Singers wouldn't be complete without David Draiman being represented.

Nice but short acoustic performance from Cry Of Love. The band sounds great and seem to be getting along rather well. However in 1994 at the end of the World Tour for their first album Kelly Holland would leave the band. The band wouldn't release album #2 until 1996. For that album former Lynch Mob vocalist Robert Mason was recruited. We do have more Cry Of Love music posted on the blog here.

justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to raise the volume a little. No EQ, or noise reduction used. No remixing or remastering done. This is my first attempt at encoding anything in surround sound. The editing process on Goldwave was interesting working with 6 channels at once. I hope that I have achieved an enjoyable listening experience for all. I made the DVD from an MKV file downloaded from the net so I know the audio is lossy. Traders Little Helper's MPEG test said the audio was 100% CDDA. So I encoded the waves to Flac Level 8, the flac will most likely be banned as lossy if you try to share it at The Traders Den or other such trackers.

The MP3 format would not encode as surround sound just stereo. The format will not accept a 6 channel wave. I tried all the popular formats and only flac would encode as surround sound, so the MP3 is just in stereo.

This show is also part of The Salute To Rosebud's Favorite Singers. Christina Scabbia has a fantastic voice, very fitting to the Goth-Metal sound of Lacuna Coil. Rosebud and I first heard Lacuna Coil live at Ozzfest. We attended every Ozzfest they had in Michigan. If they had 2 days in a row, we went both days. It was 1 of the 2 years Crazy Town played. We always arrived when the gates opened so we could catch every side stage band. We saw Crazy Town get run off the stage 4 times. They played 2 years in a row. Each time they opened with "Butterfly". Each time they got pelted with everything the audience could throw, the power was cut, and the band left the stage. As a musician I felt bad for them. I however do not care for their music. I also felt it was really stupid of them to try and follow Slipknot the first year and Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society the second. I would have offered Zakk a 12 pack of beer and a fifth of whiskey to let me go on first. It would have worked. I remember Limp Bizkit had to follow Black Label Society after Zakk led the crowd in a chant of Limp Bizkit Can Suck My Dick. Fred Durst came out of the bands stage prop toilet and said "Fuck you we know we suck but you bought the record anyway". Detroit respects a band that fights back.

This Show Is For Our Friend Bud_e_luv_bomb For Putting Me On The Trail Of An Edge Of Thorns Era FM Broadcast From Detroit.

I introduced Rosebud to Savatage, I am a huge fan and yes I own every release on vinyl & CD. I have everything from The Avatar Demos to every Trans-Siberian Orchestra release. I have the original Combat label copies of Sirens and The Dungeons Are Calling. I had to "special order" them through Sam's Jams, a huge record store in Ferndale at Woodward & 9 Mile Road. The Mile Roads were named for how many miles they were from downtown Detroit. Like I said Sam's Jams was a huge record store. The original building is now converted to a strip mall with 15 smaller stores in it. If they didn't have it the world order it. They also would carry releases any and every local band that scraped enough money together to record. Damn I miss that place.

Anyway Rosebud fell in love with Savatage. She prefers the Zachary Stevens era to the early Power Metal of Jon Oliva. Edge Of Thorns was the first album without founding member Jon Oliva. Jon had left the band to focus on his band Doctor Butcher. Jon hand picked Zachary for his replacement. Jon also co-wrote every song on Edge Of Thorns. The music continued it's evolution to Progressive Metal. Zack's voice is deeper, more dramatic and soulful, fitting the dramatic music. So any Tribute To Rosebud's Favorite Singers needs to have Zachary Stevens represented.

Edge Of Thorns would be the final album with Chris Oliva on guitar. 2 months after this show Chris Oliva and his wife Dawn were hit head on by a drunk driver who crossed over the in their lane. Chris was killed instantly, he was 30. Dawn recovered from her injuries, but passed away in 2005. The band continued, the brother's had made a pact if one dies, the band carries on. The music changed, they still made great albums but Chris Oliva's guitar is missed. This fabulous show, though too short, is a perfect example of Savatage live. A must have!!!

When I met Rosebud the extent of her Otis Redding knowledge was he sang "Dock Of The Bay". When we started living together, I moved in my rather large music collection. I have every Otis album on vinyl & CD. Not only did I play her the "Big Hits", I played her "Deep Cuts" as well. Were talking "The Hucklebuck", "Coffee And Cigarettes", and "You Don't Miss Your Water". She was hooked. She started asking for me to make Otis Redding CDs for her car (my discs don't leave the house, ever!). So when celebrating Rosebud's Favorite Singers Otis had to be featured. This is a collection of performances from radio, television and concert soundboards. There is no real "deep cuts" but some awe inspiring performances non the same.

Curved Air is another great British Progressive Rock band. Curved Air blends Rock with Classical & Folk musics with a good helping of Fusion & Psychedelia thrown in for good measure. 2 things set Curved Air apart from the rest are violinist Darryl Way and lead vocalist Sonja Kristina. Darryl Way, like Jean-Luc Ponty & Jerry Goodman, plays an electric violin. Darryl's violins were custom made by soundman Shaun Davis' father. The sound the man gets from his violin at times sounds more like a guitar being played with an E-bow. An electronic "bow" that fits in the palm an vibrates the stings as the guitar player uses a bowing type motion. Vocalist Sonja Kristina is also a unique performer. A former croupier at the London Playboy Club she was not afraid to use her sexuality as part of the performance. Dressed in lace, feathers, beads, fur with mini skirts and small tight shirts she looked the Mod Sex Symbol part. He voice is some times quiet and reflective. Sometimes soaring and passionate. Sometimes  aggressive like a Prog-Rock Punk Princess pissed, ready to kick you in the balls. The music, the best I can describe is say members of Lindisfarne, Mahavishnu Orchestra and Focus walk into a pub, knock back a few pints and write some music.

justdave's notes:
This show is edited from files uploaded to the net by Leslie Mountain. It was 5 files with out the tracks being indexed. I decoded the files and used Goldwave v6.52 to index the files. No EQ or noise reduction was used. No remastering, remixing or volume adjustment was done. After the tracks were indexed Traders Little Helper was used to encode the waves to Flac Level 8, aligning sector boundary errors. The file set came with a CD scan and I found a scan of the Cue Sheet on the net so I included it as well.

This is one of those Re-broadcast King Biscuit shows, where they re-broadcast classic shows. This one only has one flaw, each bands portion of the show is too short.

Ah, I love this period of Savatage. It was just as the bands Progressive Metal leanings started to come into their song writing. The Gutter Ballet is one of my favorite albums. So much passion was put into the lyrics, and performances. The band then started it's eventual morphing into Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I have been a fan of Savatage since the very early days when I received a copy of the Avatar demo in the mail. This was back in the day of snail mail tape trading. I was privileged enough to have seen them a few times, before the death of Chris Oliva at Harpo's in Detroit, Michigan. A small, dirty relic of a theater from the Punch & Judy Days that became a Heavy Metal Hole In The Wall for decades.

For post #2 of this installment of Rosebud's Salute To Her Favorite Singer's we have the duo of Grace Slick and Micky Thomas. Marty Balin & Grace Slick had left the band so Micky Thomas of the Elvin Bishop Band was brought in (this show has him belting out one of my favorite songs "Fooled Around And Fell In Love"). The music also changed to something more commercial. More of an Arena Rock kinda thing. When Paul Kanter felt like it was time to move on, he actually quit the band. That forced the modification of the name to Starship. That version of the band also had a few hits before it ultimately broke up. Paul Kantner later resurrected the band, while Mickey Thomas tours the State Fair circuit with Mickey Thomas' Starship.

For our next post from Rosebud's Salute To Her Favorite Singers we have the Legendary Grace Slick. This show from a Classic Line-up of Jefferson Starship having Marty Balin on co-lead vocals. Rosebud came to Jefferson Starship through the MTV period of the band. I have however schooled her on the difference between that era and the 1970's version of the band. The thing I always liked about this era of Jefferson Starship live was that feeling of chaos that could fly out of control at any moment (and sometimes did). That's the thing that drew me into the Hardcore Punk Rock scene. That feeling that every concert was a living breathing example of Intermitant Explosive Disorder (the more violent version of The Call Of The Void). This show from Jefferson Starship is a perfect example of that raw Rock n Roll energy.

All the members of The Modern Jazz Quartet have passed on. We who never saw this Legendary Quartet live are lucky we have shows like this to listen to. The recording was shared on The Traders Den torrent tracker by julsay. However julsay did not know the track listing. Luckily PBuzby another Traders Den member, was able to supply that for us. This one, I can guarantee that any Jazz lover or novice collector will love this recording.

justdave's notes:

Track 01 incorrectly named "Beginnings" on the cover art
Track 02 incorrectly named "South California Purple" on the cover art
Track 08 Part C incorrectly named "c) Beginnings" on the cover art

The medley of "I'm A Man/25 Or 6 To 4/Introduction" is not from the Toronto Rock 'n' Roll Revival. To me it sounds like it was constructed by the label from performances on this CD. Others think it is from another performance from the same era.

I bought this for Rosebud (Chicago is one band Rosebud & I have seen every year since we got together 22 years ago) one day while I was out shopping for music. I actually bought this from an FYE for 4 dollars U.S. It's one of those grey area bootlegs. It's been around for so long it's more or less accepted as a commercial release. There have been numerous versions of this recording released over the years. The albums & CDs always say it was leased from some other company that's never been heard of before. Because of this these semi-legal bootlegs could end up in any chain stores cheap CD bin.
