My 1st exposure to Warren Zevon was when my cousin brought over the 7" single for "Werewolves Of London". After it finished I did what I always do to singles, I flipped it over to hear the B-side. After my cousin's objections that he would rather hear the A-side again I dropped the needle on "Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner". I loved it! I thought it should have been the A-side. I became a fan and looked into Warren Zevon's career as a song writer. The man is a genius. When song writers as good as Jackson Brown and Bruce Springsteen want to write with you, you know your good.

Before Meat Loaf recorded his breakout hit album Bat Out Of Hell, he temporarily worked with Ted Nugent. Dereck St Holmes had quit the group during the Free For All Sessions, he returned of course. During his absence Meat Loaf recorded vocals for 5 of the albums 9 tracks. He actually covers one of those on this recording, "Hammerdown" which is a bonus track not on the artwork. This recording from the Bat Out Of Hell Tour has really good sound. There is a couple pops in the middle of "River Deep Mountain High", but the show as a whole is rather enjoyable.

More Grand Funk Railroad, this one is the very well known ABC In Concert recording from 1972. I love this period of Grand Funk. It was in the 1970's (at least 1976 or later) that I 1st saw Grand Funk. Growing up in Detroit and waist deep in the Detroit music scene it was inevitable that I would grow up a Grand Funk freak, or hate them because you heard them on the radio a lot. There were only 2 artists played more on Detroit Rock Radio, Bob Seger and Ted Nugent. The Big 3 Of Detroit Rock's radio rotation was only eclipsed by the many Motown Greats! (too many to mention). But only one Detroit Rock & Roll band can claim that they opened for Led Zeppelin in Detroit, and Zeppelin's show had to be stopped due to the Detroit fans wanting there home boys back on stage. They kept chanting there name!. That band was Grand Funk Railroad (this comes from a Led Zeppelin documentary I watched on Tubi). Same thing happened when Zeppelin played the Boston Tea Party with Vanilla Fudge. The audience wouldn't stop the chants of Bring On The Fudge. (that comes from the book Hammer Of The Gods)

*Mark Farner – Guitar, Harmonica, Keyboards, Vocals

This record was never supposed to see the light of day. It's not included in the official Grand Funk Railroad canon. Mark Farner & Don Brewer recorded these demos in 1968 before actually forming Grand Funk Railroad. Lucky Eleven, the label they were on as members of Terry Knight & The Pack, released the album with out Mark & Don's permission. That being said, if you love Grand Funk like I do (which is a freakin' lot!), you really need this for your collection. Only one song was written by Mark but "We "Gotta Have Love", is a good song that shows the great writing to come. The only thing missing from this being a Grand Funk album is Mel Schacher's "bong shattering bass" (a paraphrase of Homer Simpson) Note the zip file is dated 1974 but the album was recorded in 1968 which is the date on the folder..so it doesn't confuse anyone (yes I was posting and smoking again)

The songs from the Nemesis Of Power demo are pretty cool to have. Musically they are somewhere between Vanity/Nemesis and Monotheist. The music from the Prototype demo must have been for Thomas Gabriel Fisher's Industrial project, Apollyon Sun. They are definitely Industrial/Techno music. Some actually border on Gabba. They are not quite my cup of tea but Celtic Frost fanatics should at least hear them. Well worth the download for tracks one through nine though.

About Filefactory Being Blocked In Some Countries

 It has come to our attention that some countries have blocked filefactory. We want suggestions of free sites that these counties can still access to use as a mirror site. We will continue to use Filefactory as the sites main service since We have paid for another year. We also Like to keep an archive of shows, so a Pro account at any site has to be used or they will delete files. Therefore a Pro account at Filefactory will be maintained. We do have a free account at Turbobit that We could use. There are options like Zippy Share as well. We're going to check what Speedy is using over at So Many Roads To Ease My Soul since it is the best, one of the longest lasting and one of the most visited bootleg site.

JustDave's Notes:
This show was  uploaded as January 9, 1968 Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Saratoga Springs, New York. The SPAC is an open amphitheater so the date is wrong. The SPAC calendar for 1968 has The Doors along with The Smothers Brothers closing the season on September 1, 1968. So if this show is from The SPCA it's from September 9th. The tape is pretty bass heavy and has some his but still it's a soundboard recording from 1968 that hasn't been released as a Doors "Legacy" Recording yet.

An acoustic simulcast show (live on the radio as it happens). There is a copy of it going around that claims to be Pre-FM but I wonder how a simulcast could have a Pre-FM source. Must mean they taped it from the radio's board as it happened. Or it went out over the airwaves again as a syndicated show. Either is possible, just a stoner thought that kind of made sense.

This is a great little show I didn't know existed until maybe a month ago. I did a search on it and as far as I can see Bruce hasn't released this one yet. He has released a few nice "Legacy" recordings (as bands call the these days). I like to call them remastered bootleg material. Which some collectors hate them, because it takes trading bait off the table. I love getting the professionally mixed recording myself, so I'm a little different I guess. I have quite a few of the newly released Bruce "Legacy" live shows and the ones I have sound great. No over dubs but definitely remixed very nice compared to the old bootleg versions. At any rate enjoy this nice piece of Bruce Springsteen history.

Like I said I have been on a New Wave Of British Heavy Metal kick lately and Iron Maiden is one of the most successful from that time period. This is a great sounding recording made from some of the radio broadcasts and soundboard recordings from the 1980's. So basically it's like another Live After Death but more locations and dates used. Meaning A Great Live Album Of That Era! Oh and yes I know it's a stolen title from an Alice Cooper song...it's a bootleg, rules don't really apply, and I didn't make it.

Quartz was "discovered" by Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath who took them under his wing so to speak. Iommi took Quartz on the road with Black Sabbath before this recording was made. He also produced their debut album Quartz. Not only did he produce the album but also contributed flute. Ozzy Osbourne guested on a track as well adding backing vocals. These were wiped from the mix by Iommi after Osbourne left the studio. Geoff Nicholls would leave Quartz in 1980 after Iommi asks him to replace a departed Geezer Butler. Geezer returned and Nichols was regulated to keyboards an 2nd live guitar, at side stage in the dark.

If you pay attention to "Mainline Riders" you can hear where Tony Iommi got the inspiration for "Heaven & Hell", "Country Girl" and "Headless Cross". All tracks written with Geoff Nicholls. "Heaven & Hell" is credited as written by Butler, Dio, Iommi and Ward. No credit to Nicholls. He does get one for "Headless Cross", both of which the rhythm and bass line sound very familiar to that of "Mainline Riders" while the guitar riff opening "Country Girl" sounds close to that of "Mainline Riders" too.

justdave's notes:
Deadline was to be the follow up album to Venom's Possessed LP. Possessed had not received very good reviews and sales were a little disappointing. With Deadline, Venom had announced they would be going in a different lyrical route. The songs wouldn't be about Satan or Satanism but drugs and other social type themes. The demos were as far as the band had gotten before guitarist Mantas left to go solo. Cronos and Abaddon decided to continue Venom and enlisted guitarists James Clair and Mike "Mykus" Hickey, to do so. Re-wring the songs from Deadline, Venom recorded The Calm Before The Storm. This album also caught flack, for being over produced. As a Venom fan from the start my personal opinion was both albums sounded a little half hearted. Maybe the band needed a break. They broke up after this album and tour cycle instead. James Clair & Mike "Mykus" Hickey joined Cronos' solo band Cronos. Abaddon formed a new line-up of Venom with original guitarist Mantas and Tony "Demolition Man" Dolan of N.W.O.B.H.M. band Atomkraft, but that's another part of the story.
