This is a very listenable audience recording recently added to Rosebud's Queensrÿche collection. Like me if she won't listen to it more than once she will not share it here. Geoff Tate has been more prolific in his music career since his "separation" with Queensrÿche in 2012. Tate has released 1 album under the Queensrÿche name, Frequency Unknown (which is pretty lackluster to say the least). A solo album, Kings & Thieves which was in production when the breakup came (and is a great album!). 3 albums were released with his band Operation Mindcrime (which are also kick ass!). Then also made 2 very killer albums with the band Sweet Oblivion (some of the best material Geoff has been associated with since the break-up). Sweet Oblivion actually headlined over Queensrÿche in at least one Festival situation.

To be fair Queensrÿche has released 4 albums with the modified line-up fronted by Todd La Torre. Todd La Torre has turned into a very active participant in the writing and recording of every album. Todd also played drums on 2019's The Verdict since Scott Rockenfield it seems will not be returning to the band. That leaves 2 founding members in the band, however guitarist Mike Stone has returned. Mike was first to fill the empty guitar chair when Chris DeGarmo left. There has been a few big money offers to re-unite the Classic Era Line-Up of Queensrÿche, all but Geoff Tate has dismissed them. Geoff states if they could sit in a room and talk it over maybe, but for the remaining members it would have to be about the money, which they don't really need. It's not going to happen, fans need to move on and enjoy the music while they can, the boys are not getting any younger!

Thrash/Speed Metal from U.S.S.R (Soviet Era Russia)

JustDave's Notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to add a fade in/fade out at the beginning and end respectively. I also edited track marks and doubled the volume. No EQ or Noise Reduction was used, no remastering or remixing was done. The DVD had audio that was lossy so I encoded the waves to MP3 320kbps using Trader's Little Helper, sector boundaries were aligned.

Круиз (Kruiz) was one of the State Allowed Bands in Soviet Era U.S.S.R. The went through more than one state allowed musical direction too, while using the same name. Their first was as a Soft Pop/Rock band in the early 1980s. The U.S.S.R. revoked the bands license to be a band during a brief time western music became banned again. When they could reform it was as a Speed/Thrash Metal band after hearing smuggled American Thrash records. The last incarnation was as a Grunge band sounding a lot like Stone Temple Pilots.

This recording comes from my favorite era of the band, The Speed/Thrash Metal era (of course). Круиз (Kruiz) had a fresh take on Speed/Thrash Metal, maybe due to their Pop Rock sense of melody. I actually didn't hear of them till recently when I had said to a friend that Heavy Metal had started to get stale for me and I had to move on to Acid Jazz or Free Form Improvisational Jazz or even Drone/Noise Music to find something challenging. He gave me the name of some bands he liked that I had to research to find. They were from Ukraine, and when looking on a Russian torrent tracker for them I found Круиз (Kruiz). I loved them upon first listen, I then found out only a small amount of the extensive catalog I had downloaded was of the Metal variety I loved. So I deleted what I didn't like.

One of Rosebud's favorite female lead vocalists. She has a respectable amount of Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, and Starship stuff. I can go with almost all of it, but when it became Starship (without Paul Kantner) I lost interest. I had hoped for a continuation of Freedom At Point Zero's Hard Rock but that was not to be. I really love this performance. It includes material like "Fast Buck Freddy", "Rock 'n' Roll Is Good Time Music", "Jane" (a personal fave of mine) and "Fooled Around And Fell In Love" (a freakin' great song). The sound is pretty good as well, there are a few flaws already pointed out above. Enjoy Everyone, Rosebud did pick another great  one!

JustDave's Notes:
I ripped the audio with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to edit some of the track marks and add the fades as needed at the beginning and end of the show. No EQ or Noise Reduction was used. No remixing or remastering done. The DVD had lossy audio so I encoded the waves to MP3 320kbps aligning all sector boundaries, using Trader's Little Helper.

The sound of this DVD is pretty good for being a TV recording. Instruments are pretty clear in the mix, from the cymbals to the lows of the bass. Not to low as to muddy up the mix either, just right to make the sub woofer go bump.

I am a huge fan of Nazareth, Dan McCafferty was such an inspiration to me. My Thrash band Psychosis, some of our early shows were opened with a hyper speed "Razamanaz" (think Slayer Reign in Blood era). It was in our set for a while till we gave into the play Metallica screams, then it was replaced by "Trapped Under Ice" ("they don't play it, we played it faster" he said with a snicker).

Sorry to only offer this in MP3 but the waves tested 100% MPEG so it's here in 320kbps. It's our first appearance on The New JustDave's Place for Patti Smith. It was recorded for King Biscuit Flower Hour. It has been bootlegged by many, this is the only copy I have so it will have to do. I loved Patti Smith's music, I bought a couple of her records by chance. It was through this add in a magazine that gave you like 6 records for a penny if you bought like 8 more at regular price in a certain amount of time. 2 of them I ordered was The Patti Smith Group's Horses & Radio Ethiopia releases. I now own all her stuff, but her early records are my favorite.

A lot of my favorite memories are my parents reactions to some of the bands I watched on TV. One of my favorites is my Dad's reaction to seeing Gilda Radner spoof Patti Smith on Saturday Night Live. The character was Candy Slice when it was done my Dad said "Son they are just bad" and went to bed. I can't remember the real musical guest on that show but Gilda's spoof was great. Just as great as John Belushi spoofing Joe Cocker and Mark Blankfield spoofing Bruce Springsteen on the show Friday's!

So I haven't been taking care of my fellow Funk Fans in the recent past so I thought I would correct that. One of the best ways I figured I could do that is share this Funky Jam at The Wanee Music Festival in Live Oak Florida, USA. The story is a volcano eruption in Iceland forced the closing of air space and restricting flights. Due to this, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings were to play the Wanee Music Festival but couldn't make it. The Funky Meters and Dumpstaphunk were to be before and after Sharon Jones so they decided to meld their bands together and cover the time for the promoters. The result is some very Funky Improvisation by musicians that don't normally play together. I mean You can hear someone in between songs laughing about the organ player having a wah-wah peddle on his organ. I can't get enough of this show, it has a vibe of pure pleasure to it.

This is not only a very fine performance but it sounds damn good as well. It's right at the time when Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies were hitting their stride as song writers. That just right mix of Prog-Rock and Pomp-Rock that they fine tune to create their next 3 albums. There are also quite a few live staples in this show. Personally if I don't hear "Rudy", "School", "Ain't Nobody But Me" and "Crime Of the Century" it's not a Supertramp gig.

I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to re-edit some track marks, add a fade out at the end of the show. No EQ or Noise Reduction was used, and no remastering or remixing. I also double the volume to give it a little more punch. There is a TV hum which is most audible during the non music parts of the recording.

Pat & band are in great form for this show. The band actually only rehearsed one encore but pulled off an awesome rendition of their Paul Revere & the Raiders cover "Just Like Me" from Pat's 1981 album "Precious Time". This show marks the sound turn for Pat Benatar's music. She move to a more MTV Top 40ish direction that I didn't follow her into. She did however, despite my not buying one of them, continue to make hit records.

So this is the earliest live recording I have from Pat Benatar. It comes just two months after the release of her debut album. I didn't realize that seven of the ten songs on In The Heat Of The Night, including the title track, were cover tracks. The show you are reading about now has six of the nine songs are covers. To varying degrees of success Pat makes the covers hers enough to snag some FM radio attention for "I Need A Lover", "No You Don't" and "Heartbreaker". Pat Benatar's debut along with her next two albums, Crimes Of Passion and Precious Time, will establish her as one of the pioneers of Women in Hard Rock & Heavy Metal. Us leather jacket boys fell for Pat Benatar for her music just as much as her sex appeal.

I received this in shn but converted it to flac. It's always traded/posted as a soundboard recording but listening reveals it to be an excellent audience recording.

Rosebud is a big fan of Queensrÿche, she has a big collection of bootlegs from them as well as everything they released...that is up till the split with Geoff Tate. We both stopped supporting the band after that. At any rate...Rosebud usually grades her Queensrÿche shows on how well Geoff Tate does the scream in "Take Hold Of The Flame". She rates this one very highly since he pulls the scream off pretty well. For me this is the best era off the band, since it was the most blatantly Heavy Metal era. The band actually became a Progressive Metal Force To Be Reckoned With, but the Queensrÿche E.P. and the Warning album were released right as I was 18 out of school and owned my first real hot rod a 1972 Chevy Chevelle Malibu and those 2 records were blasted real loud through those speakers quite a lot.

Mick Ronson died April 29, 1993 from liver cancer, he was 46 (way to damn soon F#$K CANCER)

This Rocking little tape was Rosebud's introduction to Ian Hunter, Mick Ronson and the Mott The Hoople Legacy...I must be slipping and I apologized to her, Rosebud has some catching up so she is now learning about all that legendary music. I tell you as much as I love Southern Rock, I did not know Mick Ronson played on Pure Prairie League's Bustin' Out. He even did string arrangements for the album. I knew he had played with Lou Reed, Bob Dylan & Elton John but did not know he produced Morrissey's Your Arsenal.

The tape is a little aged but a damn nice listen if you ask me.

Phil Spalding died February 5, 2023, he was 65.

With Yes, Asia and solo albums you would think that Steve Howe had enough to keep him busy in the 1980s. Turns out he didn't, neither did Steve Hackett after leaving Genesis for a solo career. So what do you do, get a drummer, bassist and singer you already have 2 fantastic guitarists. I remember listening to an interview with the 2 Steves when they said they wanted to find a singer that could give the band an American sound. To do that they hire the British former lead vocalist of Bronz (the guy could hit some freakishly high notes in his day!). I guess they meant American sounding in the Styx, Journey kinda vibe. They tapped Marillion's former drummer Jonathan Mover and bassist Phil Spalding who's Prog-Rock cred was from playing with Mike Oldfield. Of course Steve Howe missed his Asia & Yes mates so Geoff Downes was brought in to produce. I bought the album after hearing "When the Heart Rules the Mind" and I love it, still play it am listening to it right now as I type this. The group failed to make a follow up album and the members went back to their other jobs.

The show is great performance wise but the tape suffers from his, radio background noise and simple age. Now that said do not be afraid to check this show out, it's still very listenable and enjoyable!!

What a great sounding recording for being made in 1974. I love listening to Ann Haslam sing, she has such a beautiful voice. I downloaded this recording in flac but when I tested the files to see if they were lossy it came back as MPEG 100%. I encoded the files to MP3 320kbps because I don't usually post a flac set if I know it's lossy. The only exception I usually make is if it's a recording from Satellite Radio. Satellite Radio actually broadcasts at a lossy rate, usually 256-320kbps. The only reason I make this exception is because you will never get a true lossless Satellite Radio recording. However now we seem to have more and more bootleg record labels releasing lossy CDs. Some reasons are they are recording them from lossy digital broadcast services, they are downloading them from bootleg web sites that host in MP3, or some of the modern noise reduction techniques/programs kill high end to reduce noise. Now I sit and think before deciding to not post it in flac. I still don't but I think about it. So if you get a lossy flac from me I most likely didn't test it. I actually don't always take the time to. At any rate enjoy this nice recording!

I personally can not get enough Boz Scaggs bootlegs. He's one of my favorite artists and except for television have never seen him perform live. I have never heard a bad performance from him either. I have numerous shows form him and have played them all to the point of annoying some people. Never heard a bad one. So of course you need this boot.

JustDave's Notes:
I have other versions of this show but this seems to be the most complete. Most say "The Best Of The Clash Live At The Palladium New York NY USA September 21, 1979". This one also has pretty good sound so therefore a great choice for share.

After I downloaded this boot and listened to it I went through a bit of a "let's rediscover this band" phase. I sat and listened to my Clash albums back to back from first to last, taking them apart as I listened. I came out with a new respect for the Sandinista and Combat Rock albums. I also watched a few Clash documentaries on TUBI (a streaming a free on line streaming service that I love). There were Rolling Stone reviews that the documentaries reminded me of. Both albums were called the worst thing that The Clash had released. They also went on to say that if this is them at their worst, they still kick mainstream Rock & Roll ass. I agree wholeheartedly!

That being said I can not believe this is the first bootleg I posted from The Only Band That Matters!!
