I know that I have stated on this blog before that I am not much of a Bob Dylan fan. I am not a huge fan but I do like some eras of Dylan's music. I really love the Christian Rock Era of Slow Train Comin' and Saved. I also absolutely love Bob Dylan & The Band's live album Before The Flood. I'm not such a fan of the solo guitar Folky stuff but electric Dylan is pretty good. My Dad loved the song "Lay Lady Lay" so he had a tape of Nashville Skyline on 8-track in his car. I have a deep connection with that one and some of my earliest childhood memories. It reminds me of when my Dad came home from the Viet Nam War. He left the year I was born. He came back when I was 5. That year I met my Dad and never needed another hero.

 
The title of this bootleg comes from the fact that Mike Bloomfield died shortly after this gig.

Now my first copy of Bob Dylan & The Band's Before The Flood came from my cousin Jamie who I have written about on this blog (Rest In Peace My Droog & Brother). He called and said he had some tapes for me that he had "found some where". Which I confess could mean an open car window. He came over with my Grandparents holding a bag of 8-tracks saying "I'm pretty sure I seen these bands in your collection." There was Jethro Tull's War Child, Rory Gallagher's Calling Card, Edgar Winter Group's They Only Come Out At Night, and Before The Flood. We popped in the Rory Gallagher because he was the only one I didn't know. Instant fandom, I mean Calling Card blew me away. I had just received my first musician biography as a present, it was about Bob Dylan (I still have it). I figured I would listen to Before The Flood while I read it. I laughed my self silly when I read that during his High School days Bob Dylan wanted to be Little Richard & Jerry Lee Lewis. There was a story that he wanted to impress some girl so he played her his whole Little Richard catalog with all the moves included (can you see Bob Dylan with his leg on a piano singing Lucille?). Can't remember the outcome but he did go Folk soon after that.

This is a fabulous sounding show, and the performance is the very one that made me a Be-Bop Deluxe fan. The first time I heard this broadcast in the 1970's I thought they were a great Guitar Rock Band with an ability to write a Pop hook that just will not let go. Be-Bop Deluxe was one of those bands that is hard to believe they are not huge. Here in The USA Be-Bop Deluxe is almost unknown. I would get out one of their records to play for a friend and they would have a blank look on their face. Usually they would say something like "Be-Bop Deluxe? I know you like a lot of odd shit, are they a Disco or Dance band?"....I've converted some of my friends to fans of this great group. None of us have ever caught Be-Bop Deluxe live so my bootleg collection helps us at least hear how they sounded.

This is a very nice sounding encoding as well. There is a minimal amount of audible vinyl pops. With you're surround sound speakers situated right this recording gives you the feeling of sitting close to the stage with audience and ambient noise all around you. Unfortunately you can not encode Quadraphonic to MP3 so I ripped the audio to 2 channels so that if you want MP3 you at least get the same mix just not the real separation of the Quad. Trust me so far every encoder I've tried has said ERROR WAVE incompatible: too many CHANNELS. It's been frustrating.

The Quad Flac file set is rather large so I divided them into 3 parts. ALL parts must be downloaded to unzip them. The links are interchangeable so I recommend downloading one from each server if you can.

This post is for an Unknown visitor that requested the Be-Bop Deluxe be the next Quadraphonic show to be uploaded. Here you go my friend, and everyone else too of course!

This is the first in a few Quadraphonic recordings to come from Pink Floyd. This 2 source audience matrix was a great choice for the Quadraphonic treatment. The choices and process are lain out in detail in the info text included with the upload. To try and sum up, both tapers used mono recorders. Both taper's missed songs and had some songs cut. Each had 4 songs they taped in their entirety. They happened to be the same 4 songs. Only the 4 songs both successfully recorded were used.

Taper #1 was close up to the stage and the tape has very good sound in itself. It has been used for many bootleg releases due to it being the most complete, best sounding source. Taper #2 was sitting pretty far back so his tape was used to give the recording it's ambiance. This ambiance is used to great effect, giving the feeling of being in the audience. With your surround speakers set up right the music comes mainly from the front. The sound effects and voices of audience members engulf you from all around.

As I said with the Genesis Quadraphonic show, I have a few of these coming. These will include more Pink Floyd, more Genesis, Caravan, Santana, Barclay James Harvest, Premiata Forneria Marconi, Robin Trower, and Ronnie Lane & Slim Chance to name a few. Most are Pre-FM, some are Soundboard and some are Audience. I found a very generic cover to use since there is no real cover art for a Quad source.

Just like the Genesis recording I can not encode Quadraphonic into MP3. For an MP3 upload I had to use Goldwave to convert the recording to 2 channels. They do have the same matrix mix but are not quadraphonic encoded.

The Flac files were huge so I had to divide them into 5 equal parts. You will need all five parts to unzip the files. The links are interchangeable so I recommend downloading one from each server at a time if you can.

This is supposed to be a rehearsal for the upcoming tour. I'll tell you, it's a damn good performance. The band is really tight and Mick sounds good. When this tour rolled through Detroit it was a huge deal. The Rock Radio stations had Rolling Stones A to Z Days, playing the whole catalog of songs in alphabetical order. There were contests for winning tickets by radio and TV stations. I had to work that day and it sucked. I didn't have tickets, I worked at a gas station right of the freeway at the first exit saying stadium traffic this way!! It was the worst day ever. Between people constantly asking for directions, yelling to hurry up, and asking if I knew where to get any weed (that one happened a lot too) the over time was not worth it.

I don't know why I haven't shared this show yet. It's a killer show from Sir Paul, with a nice selection of songs. I was at my friend Gypsy Dan's house where a Knebworth Party was going on. There was quite a few of us gathered there to listen to the broadcast. We yelled, screamed & applauded just like we were at the show. There was brats, steaks & burgers on the grill, 2 kegs in the bath tub, and a case of red wine in the kitchen. It however was B.Y.O.B. bring your own bag! No problem there since everyone there smoked. Gypsy Dan had parties like that all the time. He lived out in the country so we didn't bother anyone. We actually started having concerts on his property every Friday & Saturday. Always three local bands, 5 dollars US, 4 dollars US for women, 8 dollars US if you were under drinking age. I was in charge of booking bands. If I couldn't find a total of three acts for a night I would have my band play. I wouldn't get payed but the rest of the band would. See I already collected a salary, it was that well organized, and Dan was not going to pay me twice.

JustDave's Notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to add a fade in and fade out at the beginning and end of the show. I also re-edited some track marks. No EQ or Noise Reduction was used. No remastering or remixing was done. The sound is pretty good, maybe a little muddy in bottom end, but a good listen. The show had lossless audio so it is available in both Flac Level 8 & MP3 320kbps.

The set has a nice collection of Fleetwood Mac & solo material. Stevie also includes a cover of Tom Petty's "I Need To Know". Listening to this show brings back memories of my first car, graduating, and my first experience at being on tour. Looking back it was a terrible mess, but I wouldn't go back and change anything. We were one of the early bands in the growing Underground Power/Speed/Thrash Metal scene. It was hard getting bands like us in the more upscale clubs where all the "cover bands" played. Our bands however had to play the sleaziest dives you could think of. We got the Gay Bars (not all were in bad neighborhoods but they booked Punk bands a lot!), Biker bars (2 things seem universal at biker bars love of Motorhead and Waylon Jennings) and a lot of Teen Clubs (bars that lost liquor licenses). All of which seemed to be exclusively in the worst parts of town. One place was so bad they had armed guards with dogs walking people to and from the parking lot! The bands had to have someone in their bus/truck/van/station wagon at all times to guard against theft.

Okay I will get on with the good part.

Quadraphonic Digitization of Pop Special - BBC Pop Spectacular Featuring Genesis In Concert 137492-SQ from a DVDA downloaded from a Russian Torrent Tracker. For those who prefer MP3 encodings I used DVD Audio Extractor to rip a dual wave instead of a quad wave rip. This gets the same mix but only in stereo since MP3 can not be encoded to SQ-Quadraphonic only Flac works in this situation, unless you want a DVD audio encoding.

Okay that info is out of the way. Of course this Pre-FM SQ-Quadraphonic DVDA comes from our friends at The Genesis Archive. They of course find the best sources of well known shows. The DVD had not only the Quad Pre-FM but the audience recording in stereo but it was not something I thought I would listen to more than once. I didn't even finish it.. You will definitely enjoy this BBC Special Broadcast in your collection...I know I was real happy when I found this.

The SQ-Quadraphonic Flac set is huge so it is broken into 4 parts ALL parts unzip separately. The Stereo Flac Is in 2 Parts and will unzip separately as well.

I just watched a documentary about Jeff Healey's Blues Club in Canada. I had no idea that he had a club.  That he was successful at it and had to move from his initial club to a larger one. That new club hosted a lot of great musicians. It also gave Healey a chance to kind of road test new material before taking it on the road or recording it. The documentary taught me a little about the full on hometown pride that Canadians had in Jeff Healey. Quite a few call him Canada's Answer To Stevie Ray Vaughan. I myself am still pondering that comparison. I am a big fan of Stevie Ray Vaughan, I also really like Jeff Healey's music. My only problem with Jeff Healey was like Robert Cray, their albums seemed a little over produced, too polished maybe. In comparison both sound a little too clean next to Stevie's studio output. Now I have attended quite a few shows and own a lot of bootlegs...both Jeff Healey and Robert Cray have all the grit and fire in a live situation (I really feel that so no hate please)!

I was a little surprised that Jeff Healey played The Ritz In Roseville. It's actually been a Heavy Metal Club since I can remember. Not just any Metal Club but Thee Hair Metal Club. During this time my Thrash/Speed Metal band, Psychosis could not play at The Ritz. We were banned by The Ritz before we played there. We were banned from Harpo's Cocert Theater for playing Thrash/Speed Metal on "Heavy Metal Nite At Harpo's". It was Heavy Metal Day so we were playing some of our heaviest stuff and 3 songs in they pulled the plug yelling "Who do you think you are!?!? The F4#king Sex Pistols?!? Get Off The Stage Now!! Take It Back To Blondies Where you belong!!!" The guy's hand was huge and it freakin' hurt as he physically pulled me from the stage. They had to pay us since they broke contract...then we left. Next day we bought a big red ink pad and 2 custom made stamps. One said "BANNED FROM HARPO'S!!" the other said "TOO HEAVY FOR HARPO"S!!". We stamped all our flyers with it. This was great publicity. We sold out a Monday at Blondies. After that we got all the Saturday Nights we would play...sorry got a little off track enjoy the Jeff Healey Band at The Ritz (Hair Metal Bar LOL).

This recording comes from Geoff's Big Rock Show Hits Tour which actually focused on more than just the hits (now I actually like these songs so now for my reactions to the choises) "Desert Dance" comes from the Tribe album, "Sacred Ground" comes from Q2K, "I Am I" & "Bridge" come from Promised Land (okay these are on the tail end of their hayday), "Cold" comes from Frequency Unknown, "Real World" comes from the Last Action Hero Movie Soundtrack, all of which comes after the bands "so called Hayday". All of which make this a real nice set from Geoff. I love Operation Mindcrime and Empire but damn there are other songs that would be nice to hear once in a while. Like this particular set. Rosbud actually pleasantly surprised by some of these choices. I mean "Cold" from Frequency Unknown. Geoff's Queensryche album with half of Hollywood's 1980's musicians playing on it. I own the original, not the remixed remastered re-release. It sounds like the demos for an album that haven't been fleshed out yet (I'm being a little polite). A really rushed affair, but "Cold" comes off sounding pretty damn good here. I hope his upcoming tours will include more of his solo material and material recorded with Sweet Oblivion.

Okay what do I say about this great little package....first I don't remember where I obtained it. Secondly with all the famous projects each of these 4 musicians have worked in together and apart. You know what this is going to be. Especially if I say, Acoustic Guitars, members of The Byrds, The Burritos & the Desert Rose Band etc..you can imagine the sound. As one of them says between songs "..Acoustic Music can be fun!"

This is a nice collection of both sets Flyte played while opening for Emmylou Harris. I don't know if Emmylou played acoustic.. I don't think I have a recording of her sets. I looked through the drives I have plugged in right now, none was found. Flyte really seems to enjoy playing together but this particular band didn't last long. It's a small chapter in a much longer musical story so enjoy!!

Now we come to this nice little gem! A nice little gem indeed! The fabulous Steve Miller Band running through a few songs at a rehearsal studio. It's a nice listen, something you will go back to for enjoyment time & time again. If you want The Blues or Rock it's got it! Oh I chose the picture of the band above because it looks like a bunch of students walking through a college campus heading to rehearsal.

Since the Charlie Haden post was a re-post I wanted to include something "new" as well. This is a nice sounding recording of yet another solo performance by The Legendary Keith Jarrett. The man was made for this, like Neil Young was made for all his solo tours. Kieth how ever will never tour again. He suffered 2 strokes and is now partially paralyzed on his left side. He has been able to rehabilitate his right hand by practicing that way I do believe it is twice a month. It's nice to know he can still do it a little in his private life. We do have tapes like this one to remind us how great he played. This should make you go and buy his commercial releases if you don't have them already! There is a lot of Keith Jarrett related shows on the blog check them out...he even played with Miles Davis for years!!

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.

two minor flaws, possibly of on-stage origin, neither during the music:
* d2-t1 one second analog static @ 3:44
** d2-t2 one second analog static @ 0:07

Grace Slick - vocals
Mickey Thomas - vocals
Paul Kantner - guitar, vocals
Craig Chaquico - lead guitar
Pete Sears - bass
Aynsley Dunbar - drums
David Freiberg - keyboards

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!
