- "Rock And Roll" starts when the song is almost over.
- Jimmy Page breaks a string during "Over The Hills And Far Away" which delays the start of "Misty Mountain Hop".
- The transition between "Misty Mountain Hop" & "Since I’ve Been Loving You" is a little rough.
- Recording is missing "Moby Dick" and what ever the encore may have been.

It's been a little while since we posted any Led Zeppelin on the blog so here you are. This is a pretty good sounding recording from Zeppelin's 1973 Tour of North America. I haven't listened to any shows from this tour in a while so that's why I picked this show. The fact that "The Song Remains The Same" is not the show opener was weird but that's the way the 1973 tour went. I think it may have changed by the end but I may be wrong. John Paul Jones also keeps his solo vehicle, "No Quarter" to 12 minutes, kind of short. It remains my favorite song from the Houses Of The Holy album. The acoustic part of the show has also been side lined for this tour. No worries though "Dazed And Confused" is it's normal half hour beast.

The one thing that bothers me about Led Zeppelin is Jimmy Page & Robert Plant's complete disavowing of their influence on Heavy Metal. They point at some of the mindless dibble that posers put out during the Heavy Metal domination of the industry. As always there are a lot of bands that jump on a band wagon and put out sub par music. Happened to the Grunge and Alternative scenes. Rap and Country Music have not been immune to the same over saturation. But I digress, if Led Zeppelin had not been, Heavy Metal may very well have ended up the mindless dibble they pointed out. Because of Led Zeppelin Heavy Metal/Hard Rock has melody and texture. The light and heavy ethos of Zeppelin created the power ballad. Heavy Metal music can have texture if you will, such as Metallica slowing to a crawl in the middle of "Master Of Puppets" only to speed up to a face melting end. Every guitar player I worked with in my decades in Heavy Metal has given Jimmy Page as much credit as Tony Iommi. I don't want to forget that Led Zeppelin may have helped to invent Progressive Heavy Metal as much as Rush (since Rush was influenced by  Led Zeppelin), with "Kashmir" alone (not to mention "Achilles Last Stand").

I have been looking for another Van Halen soundboard that dosen't sound like crap other than The US Festival boot. I mean just the David Lee Roth era not the Sammy Hagar era. Sammy's time in Van Halen is well documented with a few nice sounding boots as well as a live album. The David Lee Roth era is pretty undocumented in comparison. Almost every soundboard bootleg that I have come across to me sounded like crap. This is a soundboard I have been waiting to hear. I have actually heard some bad copies of this show so was surprised. It sounds pretty good, however this brings up a different discussion.

David Lee Roth has always been a sloppy live vocalist. I wouldn't put him in the category of say present day Vince Neil. Dave could enunciate the words that came out of his mouth, when remembered. Vince Neil has recently been fired by a once again re-united Motley Crue for his sloppy singing. Vince has always been a little sloppy but he's gotten bad. Check him out on Youtube some embarrassing stuff. David Lee Roth wasn't always too drunk to remember the words ala US Festival 1983. He danced around so much that he wasn't singing on cue or missing verses. Now I'm not saying that Sammy Hagar era Van Halen was better live than the Roth era. That's like comparing Syd Barrett Pink Floyd to Gilmour/Waters Pink Floyd live, two very separate beasts. Sammy and David are two very different performers. Now my 1st chance seeing Van Halen was opening for Black Sabbath on Ozzy's last tour with them in 1976. I don't remember Dave being sloppy that night but I do remember Black Sabbath sounded stale after Van Halen's set. The rest as they say is history...

Rosebud & I have had the pleasure of catching TOOL in concert a few times together. We saw them play at Ozzfest two nights in a row. Both nights they had King Buzzo from The Melvins guest with them. They would get into this long jam in the middle of their set. A large silver grey dome would come down and cover the whole band as the jam would wind up in a fury. A bunch of lasers were then shot at the dome that reflected them like a disco ball all over. Now we had seats in the pavilion, the same seats for both nights, box seats for Rosebud's job. The same couple was next to us both nights and the girl grabbed my arm both nights and said "My God what are they trying to do summon the mother ship?". The second night I said to her.."You asked that yesterday...I think they are the mothership."

This great performance comes from TOOL's appearance on the Alternative Rock Tour Lollapalooza 1993. I think it's a little too ironic that Layne Staley of Alice In Chains guests on "Opiate". By this time in Alice In Chains career Michael Starr had already been kicked out of the band for his growing drug habit. In 1994 Layne Staley would enter rehab for heroin. After getting out the band entered rehearsals for their delayed tour. Layne started using again during rehearsals, the tour was canceled. Layne's final live performance would be only 3 years later. July 3, 1996, Alice In Chains opened for Kiss. After the show Layne overdosed on heroin ending up in hospital. The band never toured again and Layne died from an overdose of heroin and cocaine on April 5, 2002.

My first exposure to the music of Paul Butterfield was on the Woodstock Soundtrack Album. It was a song called "Love March". It was actually not one of my favorite tracks on the album. The jam in the song was good enough I figured that there had to be something to him. So I decide to ask the lady at The Fox Hole Record Store. My Mom says this woman had been there since the 1960s, you could just hum a small bit of a song or say a small bit of lyric, she was able to find it for you! So I asked about Paul Butterfield's music. She walked to a bin, pulled out The Paul Butterfield Blues Band (their first album) I took it home, listened, then bought another when I earned enough money. It wasn't just that Butterfield could blow on the harp, the band was great too. Everyone plays something real tasty on that album. It's the same on this live recording, it definitely satisfies!

Oldest bootleg not yet commercially released by Pink Floyd. Some Pink Floyd databases say that it has terrible sound. That it's not worth listening to....But it is! It's actually not a terrible recording just not a perfect recording. To hear what they were doing live with Syd Barrett as their leader makes this even better. I played it for Rosebud and she said that I should go ahead and post it, just not with her name on it. When I play her any Pink Floyd before Dark Side Of The Moon she's not too interested. She did comment that Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd is much different live than on The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn.

At this time I am reading a book called Saucerful Of Secrets The Pink Floyd Odyssey by Nicholas Schaffner. In it he describes arguments between Syd, the rest of the band and the bands management that they should be playing their hit singles. Syd wanted nothing to do with it preferring the Psychedelic Experiments that The Floyd had been playing before being signed. Syd Barrett was in charge then, he wrote the songs, he was the star, he got his way (thank God!). I'm actually re-reading the thing. I am right at the part where Syd is starting to break, which is during a tour with Jimi Hendrix. If you like books about bands I recommend it, I'm re-reading it using bootlegs of each period as reading music. I have a lot of Pink Floyd bootlegs.

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).

Another nice sounding audience recording from Geoff Tate former lead vocalist of Queensrÿche. 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!!

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!!
