This time Rosebud picked our post for the Salute To Progressive Rock Bands Series. This is what she had to say about it....

Dave took me to my first Yes show about 2 years after we met. It was a show that focused more on the Radio hits I knew like "Owner Of A Lonely Heart", "Long Distance Runaround" etc. Unfortunately for some reason the sound was off in the theater balcony. You could barely hear and people kept shushing each other. The Next time we saw them was at Pine Knob Amphitheater which is a larger venue. We had like 8th row seats (Dave pulled some strings to get). They opened with a song I never heard before. When they announced the next song Dave said  something like "....Yes! Tales" lit a joint and passed it to me. Then said "You're most likely to hear the more Proggy side tonight". He was right they were awesome, I recognized "Roundabout" that was it LOL! On this recording there's a little hum sometimes from amplifiers but the band plays so well and it's not real noticeable when they play.

Okay this is kind of cheating but with this show you get entries into 2 of our running themes right now. I selected this Rush recording to be the next in our Salute To Progressive Rock Bands. I then realized that it is also an entry in our Roots Of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Series. Quite frankly Rush is the biggest influence on the Progressive Metal genre. You could almost say that without Rush there wouldn't be a Dream Theater, Fates Warning etc. As a matter of fact Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater counts Neil Peart as one of if not the greatest influence on his playing. This choice also gives me another chance to say genre purists don't quite accept Rush or any other Progressive Metal band as true Prog since it's Heavy Metal..I also get another chance to say I don't care for purist's rules for music.

This recording is a compilation of the 1978-1979 Tour Of The Hemispheres. Each track was chosen to give the best performance and sound quality representation. I personally love it. This was the 1st tour I seen of Rush's so it's great to get a "Live Album" from that tour.

Though a little different in musical scope this should entertain all that have downloaded his music before. It's a nice blend of Jazz and the music of his Vietnamese heritage.

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.

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.

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.
