Another band who is more known for the fact that a future member of Uriah Heep came from their ranks. The band is more of a Hard Rocking Blood, Sweat & Tears than an early Hard Rock group like Toe Fat. I think all lovers of the 1970's Jazz Rock & R & B bands will like The Keef Harley Band.

This is our first ever Jazz On Sunday post picked by Rosebud. Rosebud usually picks Heavy Metal or Hard Rock bands with the occasional off pick here or there. She's usually note much of a Jazz fan. When I was previewing this recording for posting Rosebud spoke up saying "I really like this one, they've played some pretty melodies. This is the kind of Jazz I like, not the kind that sounds like nobody on stage is playing the same song (lmao). She then said that I should post this one on the site. I told her that was a great idea, I hadn't thought of that.

Alan Gowen passed away in 1981 from leukemia, he was 47.

For this weeks installment of our Tribute To Progressive Rock Bands we have a nice one from the British Prog-Band National Health. This was still pretty early in the bands career having formed in 1975. This incarnation of the band never released a studio album. The self titled first album was released in 1978. By then Bill Bruford had left National Health and formed Bruford. His replacement was Pip Pyle formerly of Gong. Bass player Mont Campbell left before the first album as well. He was replaced by Neil Murray who later went on to Rainbow and Black Sabbath. National Health actually worked with members of Henry Cow for their second album (awh man to have some soundboard quality recordings of Henry Cow).

The music is mostly instrumental, vocalist Amanda Parsons really sings mostly octave vocalizations when she does sing. Download this show for a glimpse at a quick passing ship in the prolific career of Bill Bruford

Notes:
Out of print King Biscuit Flower Hour release. King Biscuit Records went out of business some years ago. Lemmy never considered this a legitimate release. It remains out of print due to Lemmy's dislike of this era of the band. Lemmy did release the 1983 show from The Manchester Apollo with the Remastered Deluxe Edition of Another Perfect Day. That's why this is a great pick for Rosebud's Tribute To Her Favorite Singers. It was also scheduled to be up loaded for my series of Out Of Print Live Albums. Lemmy's "been up all night smoking and drinking whiskey" vocals may not be everyone's choice for a fave vocalist but Rosebud loves Lemmy and Motörhead. We have seen then many times together. I came home from work one night, washed then sat down for dinner (I worked later than her and thankfully she would make dinner for us before I  got home). I found tickets to Motörhead on my plate. She's surprised me that way a lot, including Emerson, Lake & Palmer (main floor 6th row center!!), Morbid Angel, Frank Marino, Charlie Daniels, Cryptopsy etc...I Love My Wife!!

Alright this is truly a rare find. It's difficult to even locate a Toe Fat album, but a bootleg, wow! Toe Fat to some are a footnote in the Rock And Roll History Book referencing other bands. Two members of Toe Fat, Ken Hensley & Lee Kerslake, left to form Uriah Heep after the first album. John Glascock went on to join Jethro Tull. Brian Glascock went on to play with Captain Beyond, Iggy Pop, The Motels & The Bee Gees. Alan Kendall went on to play lead guitar for The Bee Gees. Of course there was Lee & Ken's first band The Gods with future E.L.P. member Greg Lake. The Gods first single is included here. The main body of this disc is the BBC appearances of Toe Fat. Toe Fat's Psychodelic Hard Rock was vital to The Roots Of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal.

This installment of Rosebud's Tribute To Her Favorite Singers may be a bit of a surprise. Then again we did just have a Country Music show pick by Rosebud so Gordon Lightfoot isn't such a stretch. You would be hard pressed to find someone who grew up in Michigan that doesn't know "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald". The song or the shipwreck that inspired it. Gordon Lightfoot's music was also all over Michigan Radio Stations. The Legenday AM Radio Station CKLW out of Windsor, Ontario, Canada would play Gordon Lightfoot all the time. The station carried American artists but had a Canadian artist first policy. A lot of Michigan artists would open an office in Canada just to get radio airplay on CKLW. Legend says that the station wired it's transmitter to The Windsor-Detroit Tunnel making the Detrot River a transmitter. This made the station heard as far as Scandinavia. In actuality the tunnel was wired so that CKLW could still be heard in the tunnel. If that helped boost it's signal I don't know. Now the tunnel is wired so that WJR Detroit AM can be heard while driving in the tunnel.

justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to raise the volume, edit track marks, and take care of a few noises from  Massimo Morante's microphone when he turns it on to speak. No noise reduction or equalization was used. There is a bit of his during in between tracks and a amplifier hum as well. This does not however take away from the enjoyable listening experience that this recording is.

So when I say the word Goblin what comes to mind first. A B rated horror movie, or a green bad guy in a Spiderman comic. If I said it's a band's name do you think Cheesy 1980's Hair/Glam Metal. You don't immediately come to a Jazz Influenced Progressive Rock Band from Italy that specializes in movie soundtracks. Now that we have arrived to this point I can tell you this Goblin show is a great installment in our Tribe To Progressive Rock.

Okay Allman Brothers Band & Gov't Mule fans here's a nice rarity for you. Bass player Allen Woody leading his own Power Jam of sorts called Woody's Truck Stop. I'm not sure how many of these shows he did , at least some one recorded this one for posterity. Allen Woody died August 26, 2000 at the age of 44, from a heroin overdose. Makes it even nicer to have at least a C rated recording of this show than not at all. This is not the best sounding soundboard recording you'll listen to. This one is a little rough. You have sound level fluctuations, drop outs, and a bit of a muddy sound. It may be great for the True Gov't Mule Head, not so for the casual listener. It's not that it's complete shit but it's not something that will be constantly on your playlist.

I've been on a bit of a Joshua Redman kick lately. That of course means more Joshua Redman to download. This makes our 15th Joshua Redman related post. There are recordings of Joshua with The Bad Plus, James Farm, Pat Metheny, his Legendary Father Dewey Redman, and his own trios, quartets, etc. I guess you could say I'm a bit of a fan. The thing is, and Rosebud will back me up here, my ferret Chewy is a piano & saxophone Jazz fan. I know it sounds weird but animals do like music and piano & saxophone music makes him lay in front of the stereo, listen and fall asleep. Anything with horns is okay with him actually, including Earth, Wind & Fire. So when he's being a little too mischievous it's Joshua Redman or Joe Lovano time.

Ozric Tentacles are an Synth Driven Instrumental Progressive Rock Band from England. If you haven't heard them they sound kind of like the instrumental parts of early Porcupine Tree. Not that they are a Porcupine Tree clone, just that if you liked that era of PT you may like Ozric Tentacles. Some Prog-Rock Purists would say that Ozric Tentacles are too Heavy Metal sounding to be Progressive Rock. My understanding of Progressive Rock was to push the boundaries, break the rules. For me it always meant a band who's music is always evolving trying new combinations of genres, instruments, etc, but I'm not a purist so who cares, right? So I am including this Ozric Tentacles show in my Salute To Progressive Rock.

justdave's notes:
Out of print live album by band founded by Detroit Wheels alumni Jim McCarty & John "The Bee" Bandanjek. The Rockets were Rock & Roll music through and through. The bands national debut album had a hit with a cover of Fleetwod Mac's "Oh Well". It was this hit that prompted Fleetwood Mac to bring the song back into their live shows. With music steeped in the traditions of Little Richard & Fats Domino filtered through The Rolling Stones then smoked in a huge Detroit Doobie, everyone expected huge things for The Rockets. There were hits, the band was on RSO the same label as Eric Clapton & The Bee Gees. Everybody loved Jim McCarty's playing, he's the Jimmy in the Jimi Hendrix tune "The Jimi-Jimmy Jam" on the Nine To The  Universe album! He was also known for his guitar work with Cactus. With all that going for them The Rockets came to an end after touring in support of this very live album. They played 2 great shows at Pine Knob Amphitheater in Clarkston, Michigan then they were gone. There were a lot of rumors of certain band members recreational habits being the cause but since I don't know I don't repeat.

Enjoy this great out of print live album

justdave's notes:
When I downloaded this recording from The Traders Den the original uploader encouraged someone to re-track the waves. I trimmed off 1 minute of silence at the end of "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)". I then cut the beginning of the "Drum Solo" off of the end of "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" and placed it in it's proper spot. I also had to do this with "Crossroads", & "Mississippi Queen". I also reduced the volume of Leslie Wests comments because they were much louder than the music. I then added a fade in/out on the first and last tracks. No EQ or noise reduction was used, nor was there any remixing done.

Thank you Leslie Mountain for posting the original recording at The Traders Den.

Leslie West went into cardiac arrest on December 21, 2020. He passed away December 23, 2020, Leslie was age 75.

justdave's notes:
I used Goldwave to convert the source MP4 into a 16 bit wave. I then used Goldwave to adjust some volume issues and edit track marks. No EQ or noise reduction was used. The MP4 had lossy audio so Trader's Little Helper was used to encode the waves to MP3 320kbps.

On tour to promote their first album Eparistera Daimones, Triptykon (Greek for triptych) hits the Wacken Open Air stage. Rather ironic since a headlining slot at Wacken 2006 was part of Celtic Frost's return. That return was called to a halt when founder Thomas Gabriel Fischer left the band. Fischer stated he could no longer work with the members of Celtic Frost, nor bear to use the name anymore. Triptykon's 1st album is the rightful successor to Celtic Frost's Monotheist. It does take a further step down the Experimental Blackened Doom of it's predecessor. Unfortunately this is a short set with 2 tracks being covers. This means you get only 4 tracks representing Melana Chasmata and "The Prolonging" fades early (ironic if you think about it). It is however a soundboard recording from their first World Tour so gotta have it.

Sorry For The Lengthy Wait For New Posts

Sorry about the long wait between posts. I have been a little distracted since my Mom & Dad, My younger brother, his wife and their son were all diagnosed with covid-19. My Mother has recuperated well. My brother, his wife and son all are feeling better as well. My Father is not bouncing back and has been i and out of hospital 4 times. My Father is a 72 year old Veteran of The Viet Nam - American War. He was in the 1st Armored Division, clearing vegetation. My Father was exposed to Agent Orange doing his job there. He suffers from all kinds of ailments from this exposure. The least of which is glowing purple spots on his body under a black light. He has non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Parkinson's  disease also attributed to his exposure. He is now covid-19 free but it has brought along a lot of lingering complications due to his other illnesses. I use this blog as an escape of the real world sometimes so  I'll continue making posts but they may be a little sporadic for now.

Thank You JustDave
