I love The Who Live! It took them a while to actually get a decent representation of their live power on a studio album. The critics all agree that Who's Next was that album. I agree with them on this point. Still, my favorite Who album is Live At Leeds. Basically it was the second Who release I owned. It was on 8-track tape...so yes I am old (lol). I was also given a little before that the American release Magic Bus The Who On Tour. A compilation of early Who tracks that were from singles or EPs. The early recordings sounded real thin to me but Live At Leeds blew me away. The power reminded me of bands like Vanilla Fudge, The Jeff Beck Group and Led Zeppelin.

I can't remember when it was but not too long ago Pete Townshend made a statement that The Who had invented Heavy Metal with Live At Leeds. It was some what controversial with some Metal Heads and critics. Now me I believe a little more like this: The Who was definitely an influence on Heavy Metal and on Punk Rock. The tones and performance on Live At Leeds were just as instrumental as the more accepted Metal influences. The MC5, Blue Cheer, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Vanilla Fudge and The Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart are all accepted as Proto-Metal Hard Rock Bands. The thing I found interesting is how many US Punk Rockers I met that loved The Who and hated almost every one else. Anyway this is another version of a very well known Who show, but it sounds real good!

Sorry We Have Been So Slow Posting Stuff This Summer

Sorry things have been so slow with the posts. Rosebud and I have been very busy working on a project for our family. As many of you know I have been medically retired for the past 5 years. This due to an injury unrelated to my cancer, that happened from a fall at work due to faulty equipment. With my retirement money blown on medical bills and unable to work I had to apply for my Social Security Benefits. I am not 65 so I had to actually get a lawyer so I could get the benefits I paid for. It took 5 years so they had to pay me 4.5 years of back pay. It really is harder than most people think to get your SSD.

They paid me my back pay and I put it to work for my family. I bought us a house, not just a house but a new one. A new construction which is close to being done. I have rented all my life so this is something I have dreamed of. With the economy scaring people the housing market has really slowed down. I found a very good price then I actually found a good fixed rate by shopping around (a 2 month mortgage search actually and Rosebud actually found it). So my plans for this summer got turned upside down by this. Now I will be packing for that move which is most likely coming in September. This means packing up my music room, a huge job. The last to go will be my computers and hard drives so that there will be playable music in the house. The picture above was taken by my oldest son Spider just 2 days ago. It shows how far they have gotten in the build. I may actually be moving in mid August by the looks of it

Thank You So Much For Your Patience As We Prep For And Make This Move

Roger Glover – bass
Jon Lord (R.I.P.) – keyboards
Ian Paice – drums, percussion

Disc One is the same show as the classic Deep Purple bootleg Ritchie's Blues. It's listed as an audience recording but it is actually a soundboard recording. "Kneel And Pray" is an early version of "Speed King" which will soon be recorded on the In Rock album. "Child In Time" is pretty much the same song that will be recorded for In Rock but of course stretched a little bit here. The "Paint It Black (Rolling Stones)" is done in an instrumental form basically using the main theme of the song as a vehicle for Ian Paice's drum solo. The song will remain in the set until "The Mule" is recorded for the Fireball album. "Mandrake Root" fades just as things are getting started. The important part is the "Wring That Neck" track being included here. It is usually left off uploads because it is thought to be on the New, Live And Rare release. The version of "Wring That Neck" on that album is actually from the Deep Purple's opening set from The Royal Albert Hall during the Live With London Philharmonic Show. The same live tracks from the American Powerhouse compilation release.

Disc Two is a passable audience recording from Deep Purple's tour of Germany in 1970. It's of course a great performance as MK2 had not started to splinter yet. The recording of and tour for the In Rock album is regarded by most members of the band as a time when everyone was in harmony. You do get the full versions of "Wring That Neck" and "Mandrake Root" both almost a half hour each. The interplay between Jon Lord's organ and Ritchie Blackmore's guitar was already developed from 3 years of touring with the MK1 line up. On these performances it was the driving force as the new members Ian Gillan & Roger Glover found their area in Deep Purple's live shows. Ian Gillan's voice would become another lead instrument in the show. Roger Glover had the hardest task of them all. He would hold down the rhythm as Ian Paice plays drums in a much faster pace than most other drummers of the day.

I am so glad that there are so many Deep Purple bootlegs out from all eras. My first chance to see any live Deep Purple was on the California Jam TV broadcast when the MK3 line up was on tour for Burn. My first chance to see Deep Purple live in person was with Tommy Bolan in the band when they played in Detroit. I thought they lacked the energy of the Burn line up, of course we know they were all done with Deep Purple by then. Some of my first shows were seeing classic bands in a state of flux. Deep Purple MK4, Black Sabbath on the Never Say Die Tour, Journey on their first tour with Steve Perry, Foghat after Rod Price left, Ted Nugent with Charlie Huhn, Aerosmith on the Draw The Line Tour. I didn't catch the Deep Purple MK2 line up until the reunion in the early 1980s.

Our second Sunday Morning Jazz offering comes from the Legendary Charles Mingus. Charles Mingus worked with Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Paul Bley, & Lionel Hampton just to name a few of his more famous sessions. Charles Mingus is considered by many as one of the greatest American Jazz Composers. He also received many honors including having a United States Commemritive Postage Stamp released in 1995, and is in The Down Beat Jazz Hall Of Fame, The Grammy Hall Of Fame, and The Jazz At Lincoln Center Nesuhi Ertegun Jazz Hall of Fame. Jeff Beck recorded a version of Charles Mingus' "Good-Bye Pork Pie Hat" for his Wired album. Andy Summers of Police fame payed tribute to Charles Mingus & Thelanious Monk at the 32nd Deutsches Jazz Festival by playing a set comprised of songs by both artists (available here). This fine sounding soundboard recording should be included in all Jazz fans archive.

Updated info!! Please read all who already downloaded. Thanks to our friend SteVe my questions about the songs in the 1969 set list have been answered. The recording is actually from January 24, 1970 not January 24, 1969. This is just one of the reasons I think I have the best visitors & friends a blog like this can have. The help in figuring out when I make a mistake. I still wonder why The Allman Brothers Band was playing at a venue the size of The Whiskey A-Go-Go. Was it some kind of showcase gig? Was it a prestige thing like playing The Bottom Line in New York City? I remember reading an issue of Rolling Stone when I was a school kid (my Mom made sure I had a subscription from the age of 10 or 11 till I moved out of the house) about Bruce Springsteen playing The Bottom Line and I laughed because the place was way too small for the ticket demand. I figure it would be the same for The Allman Brothers Band playing at a venue as small as The Whiskey.

I have always loved "Dreams", the lyrical theme and the kind of haunted feel of Gregg's vocal delivery. It could easily be called one of my favorite Allman Brothers songs. That being said I have to say I absolutely love the Molly Hatchet version. They didn't just cover it, they made it reflect their own musical dreams. The vocal deliveries of the 2 differing versions really makes the feel of the entire song. Gregg Allman seems to channel the haunted feeling of a man far beyond his young years at the time he recorded the original. Molly Hatchet lead vocalist Danny Joe Brown's delivery is that of a young man not yet bent by the odds against his dreams fruition. One summons a character devoid of hope almost ready to pack it in. The other summons the image of a young man, fist tightly clenched saying not today damn it. The song itself was written with so much passion built in it every rendition is bound to pull you in somehow.

It's a nice sounding boot from the Prince Of Darkness. I like this line-up as well, I've seen them at a few Ozzfests, they are a great live unit. They used to play a medley of Ozzy era Black Sabbath songs in the middle of "Suicide Solution". It was kind of Ozzy's idea, he told the band that he didn't want a featured guitar solo. Hence the medley was invented. It had a funky beat ala Faith No More or Infectious Groves, Joe Holmes is Ozzy's under rated guitar player for the way he played Ozzy Sabbath material across those funky rhythms. Everyone was into it so hey Ozzy was right on that. The guitar solo did come back after Zakk Wylde returned to the fold.

One could argue that the set list is a little stale for this tour. The only non Ozzy live staple is "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath". It is not a usual choice for Ozzy since the high pitch vocal is hard on/for Ozzy's voice. Ozzy was on the road a lot between Ozzmosis and Down To Earth. Six years between studio albums is a long time. I do remember Ozzy and the band playing around with the sets because of the lack of new material. I remember one Ozzfest the keyboard player (not sure which one) was visible on stage, stage right front, in the top of a skull. The set list that night (I'm sure every night of that tour) was keyboard heavy. I swear as I was lighting a big doobie the show opened to "Diary Of A Madman". It was quite some time ago so it's blurry but I am pretty sure they actually played it. None of Mine and Rosebud's friends were there that night so I can't verify the memory.....

- "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.
