justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to adjust some track marks. I also muffled a loud guitar cord pop at the end of a track. No other work was required on the wave files. Even though the DVD is marked as having a lossless sound option, the actual broadcast source is lossy. That being the case the waves were encoded to MP3 320kbps using Trader's Little Helper.

Another great post for our Roots Of Hard Rock & Heavy Metal series. Finnish Progressive Metal Legends Amorphis chose their name correctly. The band was initially a Brutal Death Metal Band called Abhorrence. They released a demo called Disment of Soul before breaking up. Some of the members formed Amorphis a little after. The bands first release was a Melodic Death Metal album. The second album added a twist to the Death Metal with lyrics written based on an ancient Finnish Epic Poem, The Kalevala. They also added clean vocals and keyboards, as well as Finnish Folk rhythms. The band would continue to expand their sound with every album. Eventually dropping the Death Metal elements from their new material. After lead vocalist Pasi Koskinen left and Tomi Joutsen was hired they returned. They kept the clean vocals, keyboards, saxophone and flute as well. The bands still uses The Kalevala for inspiration as well. Amorphis has been a big influence on the Heavy Metal scene, expanding the boundaries of the genre. Think of Amorphis like Opeth but with shorter songs.

I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to adjust some track marks. I also had to remove 8 commercials between tracks, and move the conductor interview to the end of the recording. I did not remaster or re-mix the audio. There was no EQ or Noise Reduction used. The DVD had lossy audio so the waves were encoded to MP3 320kbps using TRader's Little Helper.

This is a pretty nice sounding recording. The Symphony and Coral arrangements are fabulous, complementing the songs perfectly. The performance is nothing but superb all the way.

Our Salute To Progressive Rock Bands Series entry this time is from Kansas touring to support their 3rd album Masque. Kansas' debut and sophomore efforts were a little at odds. The Hard Rock leanings of Steve Walsh clashed a little with Kerry Livgren's Prog-Rock leanings. Masque seems a little more like Steve & Kerry were coming to a common ground. "Icarus - Borne On Wings Of Steel", "Child Of Innocence", "Mysteries And Mayhem" & "The Pinnacle" are long standing fan concert faves. This common ground worked for 2 more albums that would put Kansas on the radio and the charts. Leftoverture and Point Of Known Return are both certified Platinum 4 times each. Kansas' habit of writing chart friendly music gets Progressive Rock purists in a bit of a snit. They call them and other Prog bands that achieve commercial airplay and large arena shows Pomp-Prog. Well this Kansas, Saga, & Asia fan says purists can kiss Steve Walsh's Platinum Records and shut the hell up.

I downloaded this show from the now defunct Viva Les Bootlegs blog.

Like I Said it's Pre-FM Season so every post set will have a Pre-FM recording included. This time we have featured some early Troops in the 1980's Heavy Metal Revolution. Thanks to early battles fought by such bands as Mama's Boys, Loudness and Y & T the Heavy Metal Battle For The Airwaves was won. Although it would take Jethro Tull stealing a Gammy from Metallica to bring really heavy music to radio.

Mama's Boys came from Northern Ireland and the core trio are brothers. They later expanded the line-up. They got there start playing pubs and being discovered by Berry Devlin of Horslips. They were the opening act for Horslips' 1979 tour. They released 3 self financed albums before getting a big label deal. They achieved moderate success with the singles "Needle In The Groove" and "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" (the Slade track). The band folded in 1993 when Tommy McManus passed away after a life long battle with leukemia, he was 28.

Loudness formed in Osaka, Japan in 1980 after guitarist Akira Takasaki left the Japanese band Lazy. Takasaki & original drummer Munetaka Higuchi disliked the Pop Idol music the band played. Loudness was signed to a major Japanese label by 1981, releasing 4 studio albums all sung in Japanese. In 1985 Loudness released their 1st international album Thunder In The East. American audiences loved Akira Takasaki's Eddie Vanhalen-esque guitar shredding. However the bands English translator wasn't very good so their lyrics were a thing of constant ridicule. (They used the word pile instead of mosh and a bit of other silly things). The band went through some line up changes but they are back to their original line up less Munetaka Higuchi. He passed away from liver cancer November 30, 2008. He was 49.

In 1972 Y&T started off in Oakland, California U.S.A with the name Yesterday & Today. After releasing 2 albums the band shortened it to Y&T since that was what fans would chant for encores. Y&T gained some FM airplay with the track "Mean Streak". They however didn't receive wide spread radio airplay until "Don't Stop Runnin'" off In Rock We Trust. The next album Down For The Count brought fame with the Hair Metal-esque single "Summertime Girls" in 1985. The fame kind of waned in the 1990's but Y&T are still playing shows. Joey Alves passed away March 12, 2017, at 63 from ulcerative colitis and inflammatory bowel disease complications. Phil Kennemore passed January 7, 2011 at 57 from lung cancer. Leonard Haze passed away September 11, 2016 at age 61 from complications of COPD. Dave Meniketti continues on with a new line up.

This is a very nice sounding recording. The New Standard Trio released their 1st album in 2014 (all songs were recorded in one take!). The intention was to write new compositions using the older/classic forms of Jazz. The standard trio musical format is in play but with a small twist. Jamie Saft switches from piano to Hammond B3 organ on a few tracks. That being said the music is more say Chick Corea than John Medeski. Steve Swallow is actually featured on 9 shows posted on this site. 8 of those shows is as the constant bass companion to Carla Bley. 1 of those shows has Steve leading his own Quintet, with Carla Bley at his side. The duo have been romantically involved since the early 1980's and constant musical partners since the 1970's. Those shows can be found here. Jamie Saft and Bobby Previte are new on my radar but I will be seeing if I can find more of their shows having heard this recording.

Our Roots Of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Series brings us to one of the reasons why Thrash Metal bands play fast. It was the Punk Rock influence. Hardcore Punk Rockers Black Flag were one of the biggest. For me it was Black Flag, Dead Kenedys and The Plasmatics. The Misfits play a hand in it as well as The Meatmen. I remember when I first heard Black Flag. I was in High School studying art prepping to become a High School Art Teacher. That didn't happen because of my music career, but that has no bearing on the story. I had a 3 hour commercial art class and our teacher signed us up for a scientific study on how music affects learning. We were allowed to listen to whatever music we brought in. The class across the hall listened to nothing but Classical Music and the control group listened to none. I have no idea of the study's results, it didn't interest me then. We did however like the teacher said bring in whatever we wanted to listen to. A friend in the class said he was going to bring in some Hardcore Punk to see if the teacher would play it. It was a Black Flag 12 inch record with like 4 songs per side. The teacher noted it didn't have a speed marked on the label. He asked my buddy what speed, and he said he wasn't sure. The teacher first played it on 33 then on 45. It was meant to be 45 but hell I thought the slower speed sounded great. When it was played at 45 I flipped out, I was a Black Flag fan for life. This recording is from the last Black Flag show, they broke up in the van afterward. This was my only chance to have seen Black Flag. I didn't make the show (didn't even know they played). My band Psychosis was headlining Blondie's that night (we sold out). Hey I still get to hear it though thanks to a lucky taper who caught lightning in a bottle.

For our next segment in our Salute To Progressive Rock Band's we have Coloseum II with Guitar Legend Gary Moore. Coloseum II was a continuation of sorts after Coloseum broke up. Coloseum drummer Jon Hiseman felt that the public wasn't quite done with the band so he formed a new line up. The music this time was all instrumental with a Jazz Fusion style. They released 3 fabulous albums but sales just didn't come their way (some people just have to catch up to music). The band broke up, Gary Moore went back to Thin Lizzy, Don Airy to Rainbow. Jon Hiseman would reunite with the original Coloseum in the 1990's. The band on this recording doesn't sound like it would splinter in another year, they sound great. You should definitely download this show.

Another great show from Rosebud's Chicago collection. Rosebud, like many others, knew of Chicago because of their Radio Hits & MTV videos when I met her. After we married and my music collection moved in (she freaked out at the size of it) she learned of the Immortal Terry Kath . We have seen Chicago in concert every summer since then at Pine Knob Amphitheater. On the date of their 30th straight year appearing at Pine Knob they issued special shirts for the event. They also played one of the longest sets I have ever caught them play. But I digress, The Terry Kath era of Chicago, in my opinion, is the best the band sounded. If you own Chicago Transit Authority re-listen to the Terry Kath penned song "Introduction". Terry Kath's soulful voice and great guitar playing are just the half of it. Each player in the band is given a small solo section to literally introduce you to the players. The awesome thing about these solos, Terry Kath wrote the too! He wrote each soloists solo specifically to show off each players talent. In the early days of Chicago, Peter Cetera has often said, the members would always play to each other's talents. If Robert Lamm wrote a song but thought Peter Cetera would sing it better it was done so. That's why Peter Cetera sings Robert Lamm's "25 Or 6 To 4" or Terry Kath sings James Pankow's "Colour My World". That's why a lot of Chicago fans feel the first 9 albums are the best.

This is one of the many shows recorded for The Road To You, the Pat Metheny Group's 1993 live album. I have no idea what songs were used from each date and could find no info. This is a great sounding recording from a fabulous concert. The band is playing at peak performance. At the beginning of the show Pat assures the audience they will hear the songs they want to hear because they plan on playing a long time. The band then proves Pat to have understated it, this show is two and a half hours long! The audience definitely get their money's worth and more. So all my Pat Metheny fan friends, sit back with a nice glass of wine, turn the stereo to a nice volume and enjoy!

I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to adjust some volume issues and smooth out some transitions between tracks. The DVD audio was lossy so the waves were encoded to MP3 320kbps with Trader's Little Helper. Some sources are a little muddy but the whole recording is an enjoyable listen from beginning to end.

I just finished this one recently hope everyone enjoys it!

This next post in our Roots Of Heavy Metal Series comes from Dutch Hard Rockers Golden Earring. This power house band that's criminally under rated and under represented on American Radio. That being the case in the US Golden Earring is known more for "Radar Love" & "Twilight Zone" than there name. Now the song "Radar Love" in America is considered to be one of the Greatest Rock songs to drive to. It's also in the top 10 songs that make you get a speeding ticket. Now the other thing about "Radar Love", with that riff Golden Earring spawned thousands of Hard Rock/Hair Metal bands. Hair Metal band White Lion even hit the charts with their (rather lame) cover of "Radar Love". This posting is dedicated to George Kooymans. On February 5, 2021 Golden Earring announced they were putting the band to bed. The reason is that George Kooymans has been diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and can no longer tour.

Gary Wright was opening for Rick Wakeman on this tour. This is the only solo Gary Wright show that I have come across in my days of collecting. I usually don't post audience recordings but a Dan Lampinski recording is different. Dan Lampinski and Mike Millard both were audience taping superstars. Their recordings were clear and very listenable. Some even get mistaken for soundboard or FM recordings because of the quality. This recording is no exception to that rule, it Rocks. The music is clear, you can hear everything even the vocals. The bass is nice without being muddy as well. I recommend downloading this one, really it's a great listen & like I said Gary Wright shows are kinda rare.

The Flac is in 24bit so it makes for a large download. I separated the Flac into 2 parts both parts will open separately.

What can I say about The Legendary Herbie Hancock that I haven't said already. For that matter the same goes for Wayne Shorter and Dave Holland. There are 17 Herbie Hancock related shows on the site (here), 10 Wayne Shorter related shows (here), and a staggering 21 Dave Holland related shows (here). So I am going to concentrate my comments on the awe inspiring performance on the drums by Brian Blade. Brian Blade has recorded/performed with more Jazz artists than I want to name here but Chick Corea, Joshua Redman, Brad Mehldah & Daniel Lanois have all used Brian for drums. Brian is the perfect anchor for the wandering improvisation that Herbie, Wayne & Dave want to present here. The man can go from powerhouse to soft inflections on a dime. The intricacies are superbly accented & supported by Brian's playing. This is another show from the quartets Forensic Music Tour. If you want more the 1st one posted on the site can be found (here).

I love that Jean-Luc Ponty's music was deemed Rock & Roll enough to be on The King Biscuit Flower Hour. It's a short set, barely over 30 minutes, and Jean-Luc's performance makes it go by way too quick. In  other words he leaves you wanting so much more. Fans of Jean-Luc Ponty would be very wrong to let this one slip by without downloading it.

This is a Request from our friend Andy, so hear you are my friend! This great show from Whitesnake comes from when the band was still quite young. The set actually still has 2 MKIII Deep Purple tracks in it. "Might Just Take Your Life" wont last too many tours but "Mistreated" still pops up in Whitesnake setlists. Anyway after 2 solo albums David Coverdale
formed Whitesnake. At first the band was billed David Coverdale's Whitesnake but Dave stressed it was a band not a backing band. The band would release 5 Heavy Blues inflected Hard Rock albums. In 1984 there came a change in the music. The Blues inflected Hard Rock evolved into a Commercial Heavy Metal sound. This happened with the Slide It In album. Actually it came with the American version of the album. The album was not only remixed to have a heavier sound but parts were actually re-recorded. Guitar and bass parts were re-recorded by John Sykes and Neil Murray respectively. Both are great players and have recorded some awesome music but the change hurt a lot of original core fans. The bands transformation to a full on Los Angeles Hair Metal sound was completed by the 1987 self titled album. The fans Whitesnake lost were replaced by new ones, Coverdale's gamble paid off. The 25th Anniversary Version of Slide It In contains 8 of the original UK mixes (got it), the 35th Anniversary version includes them all (have to have it).

Draftervoi's Notes:

Tracks from the Greg Kihn Band's 1981 Country Club show were broadcast at least twice by Westwood One. Westwood One In Concert 81-10 with the Greg Kihn Band is sourced from the same concert at Wolf and Rissmiller's Country Club. Five songs are duplicated on both shows, but 81-10 has seven unique songs, and 82-12 has four unique songs.

The set list for 81-10 is:
Rendezvous (repeated on 82-12)
Womankind
Valerie
Trouble In Paradise (repeated on 82-12)
The Girl Most Likely
Sheila
Higher and Higher (repeated on 82-12)
The Break Up Song (repeated on 82-12)
Can't Stop Hurting Myself (repeated on 82-12)
For Your Love
Around and Around
Things To Come (repeated on 82-12)
Roadrunner

Billboard Magazine of Sept. 19, 1981 mentions that the August 28, 1981 Kihn show at the Country Club was filmed for MTV. There is a YouTube video of When The Music Starts that matches this WW1 performance.

justdave's notes:
Just one of the many Pre-FM recordings encoded by Draftervoi that Rosebud and I have in our archives. I decided that we have way too many of them just sitting there on hard drives doing nothing. So for the next month or so we will be including a Pre-FM show in every upload. These are all prime encodings of some great shows so that means you are in for a lot of good stuff starting here with The Greg Kihn Band and Southern Rockers Point Blank....Yeah That's Right A Point Blank Pre-FM ... Ever think you would see that ... Well we have Draftervoi to thank for it. He gets in bidding wars for Pre-FM vinyl and CD sets then carefully encodes them. The vinyl ones he meticulously de-clicks them in Audacity 1 click at a time. So download and sit back and listen to some great music

Today's post in our Salute To Progressive Rock Bands is by Focus. The Dutch Progressive Rockers are known by most New JDP readers, we have featured them before. Their Jazz/Hard Rock mostly instrumental brand of Progressive Rock is a favorite of mine. I love this show in particular because it consists of just one song, a almost 50 minute version of "Eruption" off of Focus II or Moving Waves as it was called in The U.S.A. It was my first Focus album purchase, of course bought for "Hocus Pocus" which was the only song I ever heard from Focus on American Radio. I soon however, began spinning side 2 of that album over and over again. The single track on side 2 was "Eruption" and I loved to get stoned and listen to it, like "Echoes" on Pink Floyd's Meddle.
