Draftervoi's Original Notes:

Run out groove: WW1 LG 84-04-A (cursive R, followed by RM mechancial stamp)
Run out groove: WW1 LG 84-04-B (cursive R, followed by RM mechancial stamp)

This version has some surface noise issues on several tracks.  Specifically, "Tennessee Rose", "If I Needed You", "How High The Moon", and "The Boxer" have audible surface noise.  It's not bad, but it's not perfect, and usually my digitizations are better than this one.  In this case, the vinyl had more noise than I could remove without spending a year cleaning it up.  Eventually I'll find a better copy...so until then, this is the best that we've got of this show.  It's not bad... it's just not PERFECT and I always try and give you PERFECT digitizations.

Let's see...what else?  Oh, yeah, we've got a commercial with football legend Roger Staubach and Dodger's coach Tommy Lasorda!

Live From Gilley’s was a single LP syndicated radio show featuring country and country-rock acts that ran from 1981 until 1989 featuring live performances recorded at Gilley’s Club in Pasadena, Texas.  In 1986, performances recorded at venues other than Gilley’s were occasionally included, and as it’s ridiculous to say “Live From Gilley’s presents the Judds recorded live in Holland!,” announcer Jim Duncan would call out the show as “Westwood One Presents” instead of “Live From Gilley’s.”

At the same time, they continued to use the “Live At Gilley’s” record labels on these shows, but began identifying the non-Gilley’s recordings on the cue sheet as “Westwood One Presents.”

In 1989, the disc labels were switched to “Westwood One Presents” until the end of the "Westwood One Presents" show in 1990.

Emmylou Harris had broadcasts on "Live From Gilley's" in 1983 as show #83-14, on this show #84-04, and on "Best of Gilley's" compilation shows #83-44, 85-35, and 86-44.

There is a bit of a hum that runs through out the show. It sounds like an amp hum, it sucks while Peter Wolf talks but you don't here it during the music. That being said, it is a Monkey Island era soundboard recording. Not a lot of those out there.

Shawn Crahan percussion, drums on "Dogfish Rising"

justdave's notes:
Slipknot recorded these tracks for a planned first album. Instead it was used as a demo with only 1000 copies printed. Copies were given away to industry insiders to shop for a record deal. Pale One Music and other labels have released it unofficially. Slipknot has yet to release this demo tape officially.

For this installment of The Roots Of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal is one of the most successful of the Neo-Metal scene, Slipknot. Slipknot is in every respect an Ozzfest success story. 1999, the first year they were on the tour, they were an as yet unsigned band. They played for free that year as well. Appearing on the side stage with such other Ozzfest successes as (hed)P.E., Static-X, and Fear Factory. Slipknot's adrenaline fueled music & stage show mayhem won over the crowd fast. By Ozzfest 2001 Slipknot had graduated to the main stage this time touring to support their sophomore effort Iowa. They played Ozzfest again in 2004, this time headlining the side stage. Since then they have sold millions of albums and headline their own touring festival, Knotfest. This demo started it all. With only 1000 copies pressed it sure payed off. Most of these songs have surfaced on later releases in modified form. So all you Slipknot fans that have yet to score yourself a bootleg copy of this coveted demo hear is your chance.

All right here's an BBC Live recordings (at least I haven't seen it on any blogs myself). This one from the British group Love Sculpture. Before there was Rockpile there was Love Sculpture. Dave Edmunds formed Love Sculpture in 1966. The members of Love Sculpture would feature in future Edmunds recordings. Terry Williams of course would play in Rockpile (as well as Dire Straits). John David and Mickey Gee would play on a lot of Dave Edmunds sessions and some of Nick Lowe's. The music of Love Sculpture is just what you would expect from Dave Edmunds, Blues Boogie Rock & Roll. Every fan of Dave's should add this recording to their collection! The band did at least 3 Peel Sessions. These recordings are from those sessions so the sound is real nice. I really don't understand why this band didn't sell that many records.

This collection of BBC recordings is available at Amazon but it is not an official recording. I downloaded this from a chat box on a blog I follow. The blog specializes in hard to find pressings of some hard to find artists. They have both of Love Scuplture's studio LPs hosted for download. It's called Rockasteria and they have a chat box where followers can post links to share as well. I recommend checking them out. I have joined their chat group to share my music collection as well. There is a sister site called Plain and Fancy which is great too.

Rosebud & I watched an awesome documentary on Jaco Pastorius recently. It's on the streaming service Peacock and it's called Jaco. It covered his childhood, time in Weather Report, his solo career and battle with mental illness. There was some performance clips from all eras of Jaco including his days with the Word Of Mouth Big Band. It reminded me I had some Word Of Mouth recordings that I hadn't shared yet. This recording set is in raw soundboard form. This means some instrument levels are real up front while some are lower in the mix. Both more than normal, but it's an enjoyable listen. Some of the levels fluctuate as well but like I said this is an enjoyable listen.

2 of The New JDP's favorite Jazz players, saxophonist Chris Potter & bassist Dave Holland are joined by tabla player Zakir Hussain to create some out of this world music. Over an hour and a half worth to be precise. I love it, and Rosebud who normally likes Fusion or Traditional Jazz enjoyed it as well. You don't have to be really into different music to enjoy it either. The music though a little different is still open and warm like an old musical friend. I have enjoyed repeated spins of this show. I have also ordered the CD of their debut Good Hope.

Using the best recordings from Led Zeppelin's 4 night stint at The Capitol Center in Landover, Maryland the maker of this compilation created a great composite live album. The liner notes cover what songs from what day was used. They also state that the makers used a hybrid matrix recording for all tracks. In doing so they have created the 1977 era Live Album Led Zeppelin should have put out. Yeah I think it's that good myself, but you don't have to take my word for it, you can download it. The flac is in 24bit so it is ready for a audio DVD if you like.

Since Rosebud picked a Led Zeppelin recording it's also going to be this weeks entry in our Roots Of Heavy Metal/Hard Rock Series. Although Led Zeppelin disavows their illegitimate Metal children just like illegitimate road children there's no denying their influence. You can not deny that the chunky, heavy riff that starts "Whole Lotta Love" didn't launch thousands of Metal bands. Has anyone heard of Kingdom Come or Great White? Also "Stairway To Heaven" is the very blueprint of the Power Ballad. Every 1980's Metal Band had to prove that just because they were Hard, it didn't mean they couldn't still be Soft. On VH1 Classic's series on the roots of Heavy Metal the host set up an interview with both Jimmy Page & Robert Plant. When he arrived the lawyer of both artists greeted him saying Led Zeppelin denies having anything to do with the Heavy Metal genre. Since this interview was to be on their influence on the genre it is being cancelled. Jimmy, Robert, you can deny us, but we know the truth.

Supertarmp is another band that a lot of purists say isn't true Progressive Rock. They are amongst the Prog bands branded Pomp-Prog because they write songs that skirt the rim of Prog Rock and Arena Rock. But since we here at The New JDP don't care about purists Supertramp is our next offering in our Salute To Progressive Rock Bands. Since this recording is also a Pre-FM vinyl rip it makes 2 Pre-FMs for this installment of Pre-FM Season.

I remember the first time I heard Vanilla Fudge. I was pretty young and my favorite Aunt gave me an 8-track tape of their first album. I popped it into my player and the first song I heard was their cover of "You Keep Me Hanging On". I was already a young Hard Rock fanatic after her gifts of The MC5 - Kick Out The Jams and Frijid Pink - Frijid Pink. I hadn't heard Black Sabbath yet but the experience would be the same as my 1st time hearing Vanilla Fudge. They had broken the song down to the riff, slowed it down to a dramatic crawl turning the vocal line into an anguished plea for mercy. The dire plea being made even more poignant by the cries of Mark Stein's Hammond screaming as he ripped the sadness from it's very core like some phantom player in the dead of night. A host of Hammond stranglers would arise in the wake. Ken Hensley and John Lord quickly come to mind. John Lord & Ritchie Blackmore were such fans of Vanilla Fudge that they copied the format for early Deep Purple. Recording dramatically changing songs from The Beatles, Donovan and Tina Turner on early releases. When Led Zeppelin opened for them in 1969 the audience screamed "You suck! Bring on The Fudge!" It was documented in The Hammer Of The Gods book. I laughed when I read that actually. I mean can you imagine telling your future friends "I once booed Led Zeppelin so I could hear Vanilla Fudge". Irony...

We lost Tim Bogart on January 13, 2021, from cancer. He was 76.

Draftervoi's Notes:

This show was bootlegged as "Stand By Me" The Internet says this was 1 LP, 200 copies, with the first 100 copies on red vinyl. issued in 1988 on the Diamond Sound label as DS001, out of West Germany. That bootleg called it a "Live Concert - Somewhere in US 1986."

Take that all with a grain of salt (English idiom meaning it may not be true.)

Here's what I've observed:

The Westwood One Pop Concert series ran from about 1983 to 1988.  At the time, Westwood One
had several "concert" shows:  "Superstars In Concert," "In Concert," "Pop Concert" and "Live At Gilley's" (which evolved into "Westwood One Presents.")  The first three featured rock and pop acts, while Gilley's/Presents was Country.

The "Pop Concert" series is the most confusing, as it looks like the shows varied between "live concerts" and "artist profiles" (which featured studio tracks).  The "Superstars In Concert" and "In Concert" shows usually featured harder rock acts, while the Pop Concerts were a bit lighter.

However, there's a lot of overlap.  Elton John, Robert Palmer, Jefferson Starship, Bruce Hornsby, Moody Blues, Stevie Nicks show up on all three of these "rock" shows, while Melissa Manchester, Julian Lennon, Sade, and Spandau Ballet turn up only on the Pop Concerts.  Greg Kihn turns up on "In Concert" and "Pop Concert."

As for the show... it's pretty good. Julian suffers by comparison to his father, but hell, so do most groups and singers.  If his name was Gordon Potrzebie we would probably consider this a triumph!

Of interest is the end of the concert, where Julian tackles his father John Lennon's legacy
with a run through Lennon's cover of "Stand By Me," (to my ears, not as good as his
father's version of the song, but a pretty good shot at it), the Beatles "It Won't Be Long,"
(a solid rendition of an underappreciated Fab Four track), and "Day Tripper," done in a synth-pop arrangement that doesn't work for me.  It's not bad... it just painfully begs a comparison with the Beatles hard charging original and comes up short, in my opinion.

Anyway...FLAC FILES OF WAVS, people!  With a 300 dpi scan of the record label and cue sheet!

HBO recently aired a new Tina Turner documentary that Rosebud & I liked. It was pretty in depth but not quite as much as the recent Aretha Franklin docudrama. They didn't mention Tina's cancer, or kidney failure but did mention her conversion to Buddhism during treatment. What they did get into was her life with Ike & after. They also showed a lot of performance clips and studio session film. Anyway if you have HBO I recommend the documentary, it's really well done. The tape itself shows a little age but is a very good listening experience. This performance was chosen for the songs chosen to perform. It's also chosen because it was recorded before the Private Dancer sessions. This is an FM recording not the bootleg Acid Queen, the artwork was just provided for those who would like to have a cover.

Rosebud & I recently watched the National Geographic Genius: Aretha Franklin miniseries. The multi-part drama takes you from Aretha's childhood days to her death August 16, 2018 from pancreatic cancer at the age of 76. It gets into some of the darker side of her life as well as the triumphs. We really enjoyed it so we thought we would post some live Queen Of Soul music for our friends here. We chose this one because of it being fairly early in her Secular Music career. It was also picked for the song selection. If you like Aretha's music this is a great show to have for your collection.

Our next post in our Tribute To Progressive Rock Bands is the British band Renaissance. Renaissance combined Rock with elements of Classical, Jazz and Folk to come up with their sound. If you liked the Curved Air show posted not to long ago you'll like Renaissance. Their some what Operatic, some what Classical approach brings to mind a Yes, E.L.P. hybrid with a female vocalist. This show had me with the epic opening track "Can You Hear Me?". It sets the tone for the next 2 hours of awesome, epic Progressive Rock.

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.

justdave's notes:
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.
