Fields Of The Nephilim was the first Gothic Rock band a Heavy Metal Head would say if you asked him to name one. Now it's Type O Negative or Fields Of The Nephilim (most Metal Heads kind of avoid the Goth music scene). The music of course was stylistically very different. This soundboard recording features the original line up of Fields on tour promoting their 2nd release album The Nephilim. 8 of the albums 9 tracks are presented in a 14 track set. The band is firing on all cylinders here. 3 years later the original line-up of the band would break up. Carl McCoy would later resurrect the name in 2000, releasing a new single. Not one original member was in the band for the album the came shortly after. Original bassist Tony Pettitt has had an in and out and in and out relationship with the new Fields Of The Nephilim line up. Anyway to hear the original Fields Of The Nephilim live we have a show for you

Opeth is one of my favorite bands. They have gone through some changes in their career musically, like all Progressive Rock/Metal bands do. Some of Opeth's original fans (myself included) dislike the fact that the Death Metal vocals have been completely stricken form the newer music. I however still love the band and have loved every musical change Mikael has taken Opeth's fans on. I mean they still play the old stuff live too so no harm done. The music is still a complex combination of styles.

This CD was given as a promo CD with every copy of Rock Hard Magazine #292-9/2011. The official studio track from Opeth's album Heritage has been removed. So enjoy some free professionally recorded and mixed Progressive Metal. There are 15 more Opeth shows on the site. If you would like more Opeth music click here.

With the people of the state of Georgia having been thrust into the world spotlight because of American politics I figure everyone is in need of a Big F#%king Joint! This awesome performance from Les Claypool & Sean Lennon's Psychedelic Progressive Rock project is perfect accompaniment for sitting back and floating. It's perfect that they are playing Georgia's Sweetwater 420 Fest, on 4/21 no less (if I have to explain the being late joke you have never smoked). Les & Sean do apologize for their tardiness. The bands set is peppered with some great covers. King Crimson's "The Court Of The Crimson King", Pink Floyd's "Astronomy Domine", The Who's "Boris The Spider", all from their EP Lime and Limpid Green. The set also includes The Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows" which the band has not recorded or released.

If you missed it we have 1 more show from The Claypool Lennon Delirium. The bands performance which includes a cover of "Up On The Roof" by The Fearless Flying Frog Brigade at The Outside Lands Music Festival from 2016 click this link.

This is some great Progressive Psychedelic/Space Rock, so now everyone with me...headphones on, press play, light up and meet me in the Cosmic Akashic Wave.

This weeks installment of Rosebud's Salute To Her Favorite Singers brings us 2 from Elvis Presley. For the 2 of us Elvis was among the first records we owned. Personally I was a huge Elvis fan from a young age. Elvis records out numbered a lot of bands in my collection back then. I looked forward to the summer when a local channel would have an Elvis Movie Week. For my birthday one year I unwrapped a copy of Elvis' Separate Ways LP, that had an autographed birthday card from Elvis to me. My Aunt had somehow swung this when Elvis' last tour had come through Michigan. I still have that card in my memorabilia collection with the rest of the autographs I collected over the years. Right next to Alice Cooper (signed copy of Alice Cooper's 1st Comic Book), all 4 members of Fear Factory (Ozzfest Ticket), Max Cavalera of Soulfly (CD insert from 1st album Soulfly), Nergal & Orion of Behemoth (back of my Still Satanic Tour Shirt), Charlie Martin of The Silver Bullet Band (flyer from a Christmas show Charlie sang at), Lord Worm vocalist of the Death Metal band Crytopsy (limited edition of Once Was Not CD).

This brings the total of Elvis shows on The New JDP to 6. To see the rest including 2 Christmas collections just click here or the Elvis Presley link to the right of the posts. All Elvis Presley shows are now back on line.

When we pay Tribute To Rosebud's Favorite Singers we have to include another fav that her and I share, Elvis Presley. Elvis really helped to make Rock & Roll acceptable enough for white American parents to hate but tolerate. Before that the representatives of Rock & Roll, the architects and innovators, where black. It was not okay for Fats Domino to be black and ruin little Johnny's mind. Now a nice white boy from Tupelo is quite a different story. Before Elvis, the records were not even tolerated in the house, now they allowed their kids to watch Elvis on Sullivan while they parentally expounded on the dangers of that sexual swagger.

Elvis helped to clear the debris and pave the way for The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. More dirtier white boys than he, they too were allowed in the house. Soon came a time when we welcomed Otis Redding, The Temptations and The Four Tops. Polite talking, suit wearing, men of color who sang about the sweetness and pain of love. Then came James Brown, wearing his sexuality as a neon sign as Little Richard had before him. This time it was allowed in the house. James had helped to bring it full circle.

Chuck Berry, Little Richard are just as important to the development and popularization of Rock & Roll as the others mentioned in this narrative as those mentioned and not. Elvis was declared the King Of Rock & Roll. This at one time was used by both whites and blacks as a symbol of the racism ingrained in this country. A point that no one can successfully argue against if you look at the evidence. I however have always saw it differently and I offer this different narrative here. I see it as an example of the power of music to bring people of all color together. Jazz and Blues in the 1920's brought colored musicians into the white clubs. Rock & Roll and Blues brought the white kids to the black clubs in the 1950's. One of those country boys fell in love with that music. His dream was to perform the music he loved. Some record company people saw this as a chance to make money (of course). Rock & Roll ended up conquering the world. We haven't conquered racism yet, but I believe in the power of music to help bring us all together in the end.

I ripped the audio with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to re-edit some track marks and to double the volume. No EG or noise reduction used. No remixing or remastering done. The waves were lossy so using Traders Little Helper I encoded them to MP3 320kbps.

I am a Stanley Clarke fanatic, love his playing. He's the kind of bass player that makes others lay down their instrument and bow. Just to watch him play is amazing. The way he holds his hand looks like he's making duck shadow puppets not playing bass. The most amazing sounds come from that duck shadow puppet plucking hand. When you have Mother Pluckers like Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, Les Claypool, Flea, and Bootsy Collins calling you an influence, you are good at what you do. Anyway I digress a lot. Combine the Legendary Stanley Clarke with the very talented, criminally underrated drummer from The Police Stewart Copeland with 2 young highly talented young players, what do you get? A hell of a concert that's what! A lot of Rockers want to try playing Jazz. A lot of them do try it. A lot of them suck at it. The 3 members of The Police have all stretched out in Jazz. All 3 of them, according to the shows I possess, have done it very well. Sure it's Stanley Clarke playing another solo in the middle of "No Mystery". Every other performance on this tape is just as good!

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.
