Sorry About The Delays In The New Music Posts!!

 Since reactivating this music blog I have been sharing with you my fight with prostate cancer. That is actually 1 of the things that distracted me from the blog the last few weeks. My original cancer Doctor retired, but before doing so had told me there was some growth in the cancer. He referred me to a surgeon who I was waiting to see the last few weeks. So lots of nervous anxiety was hanging over the house. Rosebud's been a nervous wreck. Well I have seen the Doctor who told me that the growth was minimal and we came to a treatment agreement. I first need to have an MRI to confirm before we can treat. I then will be undergoing a cryosurgery to remove the tumor without removing the prostate. Which should make me cancer free....

Rosebud & I, to anyone of our readers struggling with cancer or any other terrible disease, Wish You Our Love And Prayers!! Keep Fighting!!

Enjoy the new music, Kiss, Jethro Tull, Lyle Lovett, Gill Scott-Heron & Pantera. Sorry I have no Jazz prepared for this week. I will deliver twice the Jazz Next Time, I Promise.

We Send You All Love, Respect, & Prayers For A Long Healthy Life Filled With Your Favorite Tunes

I had to edit out blank spots at the end and beginning of tracks on this one before sharing it with you. I downloaded this from a website called Flac.xyz. It has a lot of commercially available music for download there but you can also find bootlegs. The cool thing about this collection is that it showcases both Ace Frehley and Bruce Kulick on guitar. They both play different styles and it's nice to be able to compare. Also Ace Frehley and Bruce Kulick are very responsible for the life of this band. After Ace left Kiss had a bit of a revolving door for the lead guitarist position. Dick Wagner, Rick Derringer, Robin Ford, & Vinny Vincent filled in when Ace missed recording sessions. Vinny Vincent became the Egyptian Warrior to be the first Ace replacement on stage. The band then dropped the makeup in the 1980s, when the guitarist was Vinny Vincent, no Mark St, John, no Bruck Kulick....Are You Listening Tommy Thayer!? They didn't try to mimic Ace. They brought their own influence to the fold. Vinny and Mark were shredders to the core bringing the Heavy Metal/Hard Rock influences back to the music. Bruce Kulick besides being a great player and writer, brought stability back to the band.

The Flac version is a large file set so I have uploaded the CDs separately

Draftervoi's notes:

Digitized from the five sided, 3-LP syndicated radio disc. Side 6 was blank.

Flac files of wavs.  300 dpi scan of the cue sheet and disc label.

The show is hosted by Perry Stone.  This version does not have commercials on it.  There was also another version of the show with national commercials.

All tracks are recorded live at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena on December 11, 1980 during Jethro Tull's "A" tour. The internet says this concert was previously released in 1981 as one of the 3LP "A Night On The Road" syndicated radio broadcasts (ANOTR-581).  The "A Night On The Road" version includes three songs missing on this Captured Live! show: "Working John Working Joe", "Protect And Survive", and "Locomotive Breath", but is missing "Batteries Not Included" and "Uniform" (included on here).

I don't have the ANOTR version, but I'll keep an eye on EBAY.  It'll turn up eventually, and if so, I'll throw a bid at it.

The Internet also tells me that Perry Stone erroneously mentions Peter-John Vettese as the keyboard-player where it should be Eddie Jobson. The Internet is a bit of a know-it-all, isn't it?

The tracks on the syndicated broadcast are in a different running order than the original concert.

The original set was:

Slipstream Intro
Black Sunday
Crossfire
Songs From The Wood
Hunting Girl
The Pine Marten's Jig
Heavy Horses
Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of A New Day
Flute Solo
Guitar Solo
Keyboard Solo
Batteries Not Included

Instrumental finale / Black Sunday reprise

Bungle In The Jungle

Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena was built in Exposition Park in 1959 and featured an elliptical transverse steel truss roof with a span: 315 feet x 430 feet. The structure was demolished in 2016.  It had a capacity of 22,400 seats and cost $5.2 million to build.

For our Out Of Print Music this week we have the very first Pantera demo/album, Metal Magic. I know you Pantera fans that don't have this were hoping it was coming up after I posted Power Metal. Those of you who don't know the past of Pantera are probably wondering what the big deal is. This release with former lead singer Terry "Terance Lee" Glaze is a far cry from the Pantera of Far Beyond Driven. This is Pantera in full grip of their Glam Metal influences. This album and the 2 that follow, Projects In The Jungle & I Am The Night (yes to be posted soon too) sound more like On Through The Night era Def Leppard (with a firm agreement from m that the first 2 Leppard albums are their best). Terry Glaze can hit the high notes that Phillip Anselmo can't. Those high pitched screams on Cowboys From Hell killed his voice when Pantera started to Road Dog it to promote their official debut. On this album and the next 2 following you get to hear Diamond Darrell out play every guitar player in the 1980's Glam/Hair Metal craze as his brother Vinnie lays waste to their drummers. If these guys had followed this path into stardom we may not have had a lot of those Glam/Hair bands. Their guitarists would through their guitars away or go back to the drawing board. Also the sound and influence of the band Exhorder may not have escaped the Metal underground.

I love Gil Scott-Heron's music. Great Funk/Jazz/Soul music with such world conscious lyrics. No innuendo hear Gill really wants you to hear and understand his message. The great thing is like Maven Gaye's politically and socially conscious What's Going On" You can really enjoy the music for the music as well. Since the dawn of the evolution of mankind music has been the way to bare your inner soul. To To celebrate your successes, to raise your spirits in times of strife, to morn your losses. Music is the only thing in life known to stimulate and activate the entire brain. Music is scientifically proven to help you learn because of that very unique active brain state (I invite you all to check of the book "This Is Your Brain On Music by Daniel J. Levitin) So the politically charged music of Wood Guthrie (This Land Is Your Land is a very political statement), Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Jefferson Airplane, Gil Scott-Heron, N.W.A., Public Enemy, Rage Against The Machine etc was/is very effective in spreading the political and socially messages of their times.

It's a unique sound with piano, vibes, and trombone playing "Come Together", but rather enjoyable. This has become my new favorite tribute concert recording (they change with my whims of course). I recommend this one, no really I do.

I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I used Goldwave to adjust a couple track marks. No work was done to the audio itself. No EQ, noise reduction, remastering, remixing, or volume adjustments were needed.

Thrash Metal from The Legendary Flotsam And Jetsam. After giving up one of their main song writers to Metallica (Jason Newsted) Flots recovered quick but never rose to the heights of Metallica. Then again Flotsam And Jetsam have stuck to their Metal Roots, like Testament, instead of chasing Chart Number Glory by Mellowing their style to the point of being unrecognizable. Flots still sound as great live today as they did back in the 80's with Eric A.K. still able to belt them out. Even hitting some impressive high notes on the older material, unlike some other singers of the era (Joey Belladona).

For this weeks History Of Hard Rock And Metal we have Michigan's Grand Funk Railroad. Grand Funk Railroad were a big influence on a lot of Hard Rock/Traditional Metal bands. At one point in their career, Grand Funk outsold Led Zeppelin in America in records and concerts. One concert in particular lives on in Michigan Rock And Roll History. Grand Funk was the opening act for Led Zeppelin at Detroit's Michigan Palace (now a parking lot). After Led Zeppelin took the stage, the loyal Detroit Grand Funksters booed, demanding Grand Funk come back for more. The crowd was so rowdy and demanding Led Zeppelin left the stage, the concert halted. It actually happened, I have witnessed Detroit fans run off some of the sturdiest of bands. When Ozzy Osbourne first played Detroit after leaving Sabbath it was at The Masonic Temple Theater with Motörhead and Detroit's own R.U.R opening the show. The Detroit Ozzy fans booed so hard Hometown boys R.U.R didn't finish their first song. Motörhead took the stage with Lemmy saying "We Are Motörhead, We are the best band in the world and we are finishing our set!" The Detroit audience said "Challenge accepted, hold my beer" as they pelted Motörhead with everything they were holding, including their beer. I personally got into a fist fight with a guy that hit me as he attempted to pelt Lemmy with a handful of change. Motörhead left the stage in the middle of their 3rd song. Ozzy came out and threw raw meat at the audience, people just rolled on the floor in it. Detroit!?

It was even a C.P. as well (Carl, Cozy ok I laughed).

We get 2 shows for Pre-FM Season this week. The 1st was from Country Music Legend Bobby Bare. This one is the debut appearance of the Alt-Punk band DFX2. DFX2 to me sounds as if The Rolling Stones had came out in the Era of Snotty Punk Rock like The Sex Pistols. At My first listen I commented to my friend, "They sound like Jagger & Richards playing The Sex Pistols". I still stand by that statement. That being said don't let that scare the less Punk of readers. DFX2 are as accessible as The Ramones music. If you like Garage Rock or Pub Rock you should enjoy DFX2. Oh and the secret meaning of their name, 2 members are brothers Douglas & David Farage 2 D's and 2 F's. = DFX2.

This is a Draftervoi encoding so it is of the best quality like we are used to. The only difference is he didn't add any notes on the project. I kinda miss those when he doesn't use them, because then I have to make something up.

For our installment this week in our History Of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal we have a compilation from the leaders of Progressive Metal Dream Theater. Dream Theater embraces both the aggression of Heavy Metal and musicianship of Progressive Rock. Extended solo passages and grand lyrical themes are the rulers of the day. Championing the musical tendencies of such influences as Rush, Genesis & Yes, Dream Theater have carved out a very successful career for themselves. A very loyal following has been amassed and rewarded for that loyalty by the band allowing fans to tape live shows. The band practices a don't see don't tell policy on tapers. If they don't see you they don't care. If you are not selling bootlegs but just trading with others, then no harm no fowl. Dream Theater has also helped to bring Progressive Metal to the masses by crafting package tours with other's from there genre such as Queensryche, Fates Warning & Tiles to name a few. This package is a compilation of 3 separate tours of Japan. Every recording is example of exactly why Dream Theater fans are so loyal...They give the fans 100% every minute of every gig!

"Top 40" in your town wasn't the same as in my town.  There was the NATIONAL USA Top 40,
but that's not what we heard...we heard what was on the local radio, and that may have been very different.

For example... consider Jerry Jeff Walker. He never had a Top 40 hit.  But he was a hit in certain markets.

I direct your attention to the wonderful ARSA website at http://las-solanas.com/arsa/

This great site compiles LOCAL charts of hundreds of radio stations. Do you remember those little radio surveys distributed by every radio station at your record store back in the 60's and 70's?  Well, this site compiles them into a database.

To see all the data, you have to register, but go ahead and do it...they don't send you a bunch
of SPAM if you sign up.

Now, the data isn't perfect, they only track what's been uploaded, so there are gaps, and those surveys fell out of style so the data is better for the 60's and 70's isn't much use after that.

For a guy like Jerry Jeff Walker...with NO Top 40 Billboard Hits...search under the ARTIST category, and you find 168 radio surveys for "Mr. Bojangles," and 30 surveys for "L.A. Freeway."  You can sort by chart position: "Mr. Bojangles" was Top Ten in San Francisco, "L.A. Freeway" was NUMBER ONE in Sacramento, CA on two stations (KNDE and KROY) and was Top 10 in San Francisco and Dallas/Fort Worth.

Where I grew up (Northern California), Jerry Jeff actually had hits.

Anyway... here's a Live From Gilleys syndicated radio show of Jerry Jeff Walker & the Lost Gonzo band playing at Gilley's ("the worlds largest night club") back in 1985.  The vinyl was a bit rough, but I cleaned it up as best I could.  I've included a scan of the very inaccurate cue sheet, and the scarred and defaced record label.  Why write on the label AND attach a sticker?  Pick one or the other, not both.

This weeks installment of our Tribute To Progressive Rock Bands is from The Moody Blues. The Moody Blues brand of Cosmic brand of Progressive Rock grew from a base of R & B and Psychedelia. Together with mind expanding lyrics and pseudo-symphonics the Moody's have crafted a very recognizable sound. This sound and style has carried them from the 1960s to the 2000s with a very loyal following. The bands haunting 1967 single "Nights In White Satin" is still in Heavy Rotation on all Classic Rock Radio Stations and is one of the most recognizable singles from the Classic Rock & Classic Prog-Rock eras. The album it came from 1967s Days Of Future Passed was an experiment in the modern stereophonic sound & recording techniques. This experiment grabbed the attention of the 1960's Pop/Rock audiences now experimenting with mind expanding substances. As the growth in experimentalism in mind expanding substances & spiritual expanding teachings grew so grew the experiment in Progressive Musical Soundscapes. The two would forever be linked.
