justdave's notes:
Show was received in SHN it's been converted to flac for this distribution.

Wonder Funk, was there ever a better live band from Motown? One could rightfully say The Temptations were equally as great live. Their vocal harmonies, spot on dance moves put them in a live category with a lot of greats. Rare Earth could also jam on a song forever live and you wouldn't get bored. I've been lucky enough to have seen The Temptations, Rare Earth and Stevie Wonder in concert. Wonder Funk is on that list of "...if you could go back in time for one band in concert, who would you see?" The MC5, The Rationals & Wonder Funk are right up there for me...There is one show I tell my friends about to this day and they all say they wish they could have been there. Stevie Ray Vaughan was the opening act for Joe Cocker. Both played headline length sets, then for Joe Cocker's encore they played together for about a half hour...Those are the type memories I hope I bring back to people with this blog. Anyway ramble ramble ramble get on with the music JD.....

So let me just say that you should not let the AUDIENCE word keep you from downloading this great set. The sound is awesome for audience recordings. The taper must have sat in the same place each night. That or had access to The Garden so he could place his mics, because the sound doesn't vary much. If you do not have this collection you really should because Bruce and band are on fire, delivering one excellent performance after another.

3 long shows stretched over 9 CDs for over 8 hours of Rock & Roll. That means this is a really big file set so the downloads have been broken up a bit. All zip files will unzip separately.

The End Is Near! So one of my favorite bands is calling it a day at the end of their current tour. Without Black Sabbath there would be no Heavy Metal as we know it. So as The End Tour makes it's way around the world we are going to give you some cool Black Sabbath related boots.

This is a rare one here...Bill Ward playing with The Bill Ward Band. This audience recording might not be the high quality Pre-FM recording that you are used to getting from The New JDP but is listenable and enjoyable. And should be a welcome addition to any Black Sabbath fanatic's bootleg collection.

This is one bad ass performance, for those who love this era of Santana. The band has moved into a very Jazz oriented music mode leaving, for the most part, the Latin Rock behind. The audience response is kind of a little laid back. The local news paper critics (remember those?) all were not impressed. This package must have been put together by Draftervoi (some of you will get the joke) because you get a few of these news articles included with the cover art. Obviously in hind sight the Jazz era of Santana is seen as just another phase of a Great Musicians musical journey...which continues o. If you haven't heard any of the soundboard releases from the Las Vegas Residency you need to seek them out. I have 3 but I do believe they are commercial releases so I can not share them here. Only a one word review needed AWESOME!! So find them.

Even though the title says this is a "FM broadcast" it is actually a soundboard recording. The audience noise is really low in the mix which is why I believe this to be so. That being said this is a nice sounding recording. I have another version of this show which has terrible noise problems. This one is enjoyable throughout.

justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to edit some track marks and add a fade out to the last track. No EQ or Noise Reduction used. No Remixing or Re-mastering done. Even though the DVD listed an LPCM audio as an option the files tested as MPEG-3 95% probability so they were encoded to MP3 320kbps using Trader's Little Helper.

I Am Morbid is a project started by David Vincent after his second and final departure from Morbid Angel. This departure was due to to the critic and fan response to the reunion album Illud Divinum Insanus. It was a disappointing mixed bag of songs that even had founder Trey Azagthoth call some of them "silly". David Vincent formed I Am Morbid with Tim Young who played drums on Illud Divinum Insanus. David Vincent stated I Am Morbid will not play any Morbid Angel songs he did not write. For this I Am Morbid tour Pete Sandoval who played drums in Morbid Angel from Alters Of Madness to Heritic is in the line-up. Pete had been let go from Morbid Angel after having back surgery and converting to Christianity. David Vincent is also involved in the Blackened Death Metal Band Vlitmas. Vlitmas also has Flo Mounier, drummer from Cryptopsy and Rune "Blasphemer" Eriksen, former guitarist of Mayhem.

We lost Dickey Betts when I was off-line. Can't tell you how sad it makes me feel to know Jaimoe Jai Johanny Johanson is the last remaining member of the Duane Allman led era of The Allman Brothers Band. I'll never forget the first time I heard The Allman Brothers. I was at a party and this one drunk kid kept yelling "Play The Woofin Poof" till the sound of "The Whipping Post" came through the stereo. Oh man that voice, the organ and the damn guitars combined to make a Blues Soaked Southern Rock Howling Moan like I had never heard. Odel (that was his name) never lived down the woofin poof call. We were all in our teens and had drank this concoction of Kool-Aid and booze mixed up in a cooler...Ah the 70s!!!

JustDave's Notes:
I downloaded the flac from https://flac24bitmusic.com/ when I do I like to check if the files are lossless or not. The files were lossless but not decodable without error so I decoded then re-encoded them, there are no errors now.

I just love early Bruce Springsteen music. My favorite era is from the first album to The River. For me it seemed Bruce had reached a point where everything he had tried to do with the early albums culminated and he had to start anew. It's not that I don't like the post River albums but Bruce himself has said he had to try some different things in song writing to keep it fresh for himself. Tunnel Of Love and the tour that followed is a wonderful example of my point. Bruce had changed things around admittedly to shake things up. Don't get me wrong please, I think Bruce did a wonderful job transitioning from the 1970s to the 1980s and beyond. We love you Bruce...Thank you for decades of great music!!

Pretty nice sounding recording from Neil's 2002 appearance at Rock Am Ring Festival. It can be a little "thin" sounding. It almost sounds like an excellent audience recording instead of an FM broadcast. That being said this is a must have show for Neil Young fans!! It's a great set with a 27 minute performance of "Down By The River". I actually replayed just that song 5 times yesterday!! You also have a great cover of Bob Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower" (a fabulous version)! This is 2 hours of Neil at his best and just look at the line-up of musicians. The Legendary Booker T. Jones, Donald "Duck" Dunn, & Steve "Smokey" Potts of Booker T. & The MG's. Rounding out the line-up The Mighty Frank Sampedro of Crazy Horse. This adds up to over 2 hours of musical greatness!!!

No remixing or remastering was done. The DVD had AC3 MPEG 256kbps sound which is lossy. The waves were then converted to MP3 320kbps using Trader's Little Helper.

I first heard of Loudness when I read a review for their first live album in Cream Magazine. The review was more than good it was praising. The reviewer put Akira Takasaki in the Guitar God category, comparing him to one Edward Van Halen. He said the only drawback was that the band sang in Japanese. I didn't let that bother me so I ordered Live-Loud-Alive: Loudness in Tokyo from my local record store. When I got it I was more than pleased. Loudness never received the status in the US that they should have.

This show is short but well worth the listen!!!

Testament live...one of the best experiences a Thrash Metal Fan can have. They were always so spot on that the only thing that made Testament live any better was who they were packaged with. One of my favorite shows I've ever been at was Testament opening for Slayer, who was opening for Megadeth. Slayer played the entire Seasons in the Abyss album. Megadeth played the entire Rust in Peace album. Testament played a killer set which spanned their entire recording career. What a night, my 3 t-shirts from that night hang in my music room.

Killswitch Engage is another band from the New Wave Of American Metal Bands. The NWOAHM bands were a wave of American bands that surfaced around the same time after the wave of American Neo-Metal or Rap Metal bands. The NWOAM bands returned to the sound of Thrash Metal bands with a touch more Hardcore and influences from the Melodic Death Metal scene especially from At The Gates. If you listen to the first albums from most of those bands they are packed with At The Gates riffs as much as 2nd wave Thrash Metal bands lifted Metallica riffs. Killswitch Engage is one of my son Spider's favorite bands because they mix in a bit more melody than most from that scene.

Not sure where I found this, it might be The Luxor Dream, but I am more than pleased that I did. Big Big Train is a band I have been enjoying for a few years now. I think I was told to check them out about 4 years ago. I told my friend with a name like Big Big Train they probably will not be for me. So what's in a name right? Big Big Train are an awesome Progressive Rock band in every 1970's sense of the word. Take the best things about Peter Gabriel era Genesis (David Longdon has a very similar voice) and Fragile era Yes (especially the bass lines). I love this band and say every fan of 1970's Prog-Rock should check them out. Unfortunately we have lost David Longdon on November 20, 2021 from complications to a fall, he was 56.

Download this nice sounding audience recording and check out Big Big Train for yourself. I wish I could have provided a soundboard recording for your introduction to them but this is all I have. I am looking for more

Ahhhh! I love early Bruce Springsteen! From Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. to The River is my favorite era. The River is one of my favorite Bruce albums. I go back to it a lot. To me it kind of seems like a culmination of everything Bruce had become as a songwriter during his early days and foretold his songwriting future. "The River" with it's true feeling of the repression happening in America at the time touched on musical areas felt as far back as "Adam Raised A Cane". While "Hungry Heart" written for and in homage to The Ramones showed everyone that Bruce Springsteen was destined to hit the charts hard with his next effort. With Born In The USA Bruce took his social commentary to the charts. Then the world new what we all new. Bruce Springsteen can write a hit song and still tell a story that needs to be said. Also Bruce Springsteen can Rock with the best of them!!

I remember the first time Rosebud heard Primus. It was live at an Ozzfest. Primus played the main stage and had Bucket Head as a special guest guitarist on one song. He also played with nunchucks during "My Name Is Mud". Rosebud thought it was some of the oddest music she had heard, but loved it! We have been lucky enough to catch Primus live quite a few times. Never a bad show!!

This awesome performance is just too short, that's the only short coming it has.
