This is a Before The Fame Post...The Red Hot Chili Peppers were on tour to promote their album Mothers Milk. This would be the album that broke the band to a much wider audience. The bands cover of the Stevie Wonder track "Higher Ground" would gain heavy rotation on MTV when they used to play music videos. The album hit it's top by making #52 on The Billboard 200, eventually going Platinum.

Now I know most people know The Chili Peppers, but some may not know the bands type of humor. If school boy locker room sex jokes offend you do not download this show. The song title "Special Secret Song Inside" is what the band had to rename a song on The Uplift Mofo Party Plan when the record label refused to release the album with the songs original title on the jacket. I only go into this because there was a lady who tried to download a show here when I was trying out Fikper as a service. They had some popups that were porn adverts and she said she was not comfortable downloading because of my porn fetish. I don't want to offend, just share good music. So look The Red Hot Chili Peppers can offend some people so....

I know we have a lot of Carla Bley fans among us so there is no reason to try to sell people on this show from 1978. Carla Bley wasn't just a talented keyboard player and song writer, she was an excellent arranger. Charlie Haden who's no slouch at all three himself had Carla Bley arrange his compositions for The Liberation Music Orchestra (a great band). Carla also worked with Jack Bruce when he decided on delving into Jazz. It was a sad day when the World Of Jazz lost Carla Bley in 2023. On October 17, 2023 she passed from brain cancer at age 87. This is for all you out there who still miss her like I do...

By the way I downloaded this from the blog The Luxor Dream which is hosted by Titus. Titus has a vast array of music on his site. He also did the fantastic remaster of this show and others on his site...check him out.

I remember getting on the bus one summer afternoon to get to Detroit's Hart Plaza. 101-FM WRIF Detroit's RIFF were holding free concerts at Hart Plaza all summer long. It became an annual thing in the following years. A lot of the shows were local bands, some were nationals with a local band opening. I attended quite a few of them but this day was kind of special. It was a free show with Detroit's own Marshall Crenshaw. Marshall Crenshaw had been popular in the Detroit New Wave Clubs, especially with the Neo-Rockabilly set. I hadn't been able to talk any of my friends into seeing him until the Hart Plaza gig. The man and the band kicked some major ass!! Plain and simple!! It was really cool to see this guy break out of Detroit and end up playing Buddy Holly in La Bamba.

This show was originally broadcast on WLIR-FM but the BBC picked it up for it's syndicated radio show the BBC College Concert. That as they say is how we get here....This is an awesome recording and an awesome show A Must Have!!!

Yep it's a Draftervoi! meaning a nice listening experience. As I'm sitting here posting this show I am listening to X's final album Smoke & Fiction which I got yesterday. The fact that when my friend gave it to me he said it was X's last album is why I decided to post this show. I haven't lived with it a few days yet but after 2 listens I like it. I mean it's not Los Angeles (X's debut album) but how many times can someone catch lightning in a bottle. My high school Heavy Metal band did a cover of "Johnny Hit and Run Paulene" at the end of our 3 song set in the battle of the bands part of the Homecoming Celebration. We were told it was totally inappropriate, so yeah that was a success!!

I had only heard The Waitresses songs "Christmas Wrapping" and "I Know What Boys Like" before hearing this recording. I must say I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. Actually I thought I would hate it but, I don't. I actually liked it enough to listen twice! Anyway friends Enjoy!!

This is the latest Mike Millard Master Tape released by JEMS. Emerson, Lake & Palmer were on tour for their Brain Salad Surgery album, considered by many fans to be their best work. My go to E.L.P. album is Tarkus but then again I have an eccentric taste I've been told. I mean my go to Black Sabbath albums are Sabatage, Never Say Die and Born Again. My go to Pink Floyd is Meddle, My go to Aerosmith is Draw The Line, with Santana it's Caravanserai and with Bob Seger it's Seven.

At the end of this tour the band would take an extended break to plan their next move musically. It wouldn't be till 1977 that the follow up album to Brain Salad Surgery would be released. Works Volume 1 came with mixed reviews, seen as "bloated and self indulgent" by most due to the "solo sides" by Emerson and Lake mostly. Myself I say, like Guns N' Roses Use Your Illusion 1 & 2, between Works Volume 1 and Volume 2 you can make one good album. But hey that's just my opinion other's are just as valid.

What shouldn't be over looked at this time though is E.L.P.'s triple live album. Welcome Back My Friends To A Show That Never Ends...Ladies And Gentlemen Emerson, Lake & Palmer. It's a 1970s Live album with no overdubs!! Like Deep Purple's Made In Japan and Grand Funk Railroad's Live Album nothing on the album was fixed!! In a time when live albums were either heavily overdubbed like say Judas Priest's Unleashed in The East where all Rob Halford's vocals were re-recorded. Some live albums like Kiss' Alive and Peter Frampton's Frampton Comes Alive were basically re-created in the studio. The live recordings for ELP's Welcome Back My Friends were also used for the King Biscuit Flower Hour broadcast. This post is turning into the script for Ben Hur so I'll end it by saying Enjoy the music.

This recording from Mike Millard had gone largely uncirculated due to the fact that Mike himself gave the recording a poor rating. From what people say he was his own worst critic (aren't we all). The recording is anything but poor, the audience is a little rowdy, which is why I give it a Very Good Audience rating rather than an Excellent Audience Recording rating.

This is a great show from this tour, which was cut short by the way, an accident with Ozzy on a motorcycle, I mean the guy didn't learn his lesson either given his quad runner accident in the early 2000s. This show was actually recorded as a favor to Mike Millard's concert going friend/recording partner Jim. Mike actually decided to record the opening act Ruby Starr & Grey Ghost, a Southern Rock band fronted by Black Oak Arkansas backup singer Ruby Starr. Which is also available on the blog (click here).

For Your Sunday Morning Jazz this is a re-post and Flac upgrade of an earlier post. I originally shared an MP3 copy that I downloaded from BigO (the home of Sunday Jazz). This is a copy of the Flac set that BigO used to make their MP3s from. This show is one of my favorites. I'm very open about the fact that I partake in my state's legal medical and recreational marijuana laws. So I like to get a doobie, a glass of wine and some music like Jon Hassel, Nils Petter Molvær, Pink Floyd and relax between my speakers.

This show is beautifully sculpted making an awesome listening experience even without mind altering substances. Enjoy my friends!

Some Notes From The Uploader:
Completely reworked from a Mid - 80's Cassette. Normalized, deglitched and retracked by drmuzk March 2007. (There is more included in the info file).

So this is supposed to be a different source than a soundboard bootleg titled Across the Bridge Where Angels Dwell, which I haven't heard so I don't know about that. I do know it's a great show from Van The Man! I don't have a huge amount of Van Morrison boots nor have I seen him perform live. I will say I haven't heard a bad Van Morrison show just bad recordings. Also as a casual Van Morrison listener I have only a few of his albums. You know, the popular stuff you heard on the FM back in the day. That being the case I always have a nice pleasant surprise when I listen to different eras of Van on bootleg. He is an amazing talent who I seem to be listening to more and more.

There is a little jump in the volume during "Help Me" and "Tupelo Honey" is only a snip-it that fades out. These are the only blemishes to this recording. It also has one more song than Across the Bridge Where Angels Dwell, "Wavelength". Across The Bridge also is missing "Tupelo Honey" but since it's only a snip-it I won't count that as a bonus (LOL!). This show is an awesome listen and a great addition to any collection!

I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to edit some track marks. No EQ or Noise Reduction was used. No remastering or remixing was done. The DVD had lossy audio so I encoded the waves to MP3 320kbps using Trader's Little Helper.

More from my growing collection of Hellfest 2024 bootleg DVDs. This time a Rosebud Approved Pick...Megadeth!! Rosebud is a bigger Megadeth fan than I am which is saying a lot. I was a fan from the 1st album Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good. Just like with Metallica their 1st album is a Thrash Metal Classic. The music on both hangs right on that edge of going of the rails at any moment. When both sophomore albums were released there was actually a big change not discussed anymore. It was huge back then with Metal Forces having the headline "Why Did Metallica Change?" Some said both Ride The Lightning and Peace Sells ... But Who's Buying are more perfect examples of Speed Metal not Thrash. Hear me out and don't tear into me either....The playing, recording and production of those 2 albums is so tight you know that they had the music tightly under control. A lot of bands followed the example like Destruction's Infernal Overkill and Voivod's Killing Technology. Others doubled down on the Thrash such as Slayer's best, Reign In Blood.

Now Dave Mustaine seems is having a bit of a rough night vocally sometimes but everyone plays really tight. The set even includes 2 songs from Killing Is My Business, "Rattlehead" and "Mechanix" so I'm happy (lol) Enjoy my friends!

Mike Millard is known to most bootleg collectors, the new collectors will know him in time as we do. As one of the greatest Audience Recording Tapers ever. He has recorded countless shows all of which are sought out by bootleg collectors. This great recording comes from one of the greatest live acts of their day Rod Stewart & The Faces. Their Drunk At The Pub brand of Rock was perfect for the live stage. Lead singer Rod Stewart had blossomed into quite the charismatic frontman. A big difference to his hide behind the amplifier days of The Jeff Beck Group. He also learned to control his singing so as not to lose voice all the time (he was plagued by this in The Jeff Beck Group). Ronnie Wood's time in The Faces was the perfect pre-audition for his future as a Rolling Stone (it got his foot in the door not to say it was handed to him). As for the rest of the group, this team of musicians were able to write and record enough music for 2 careers to blossom. The Faces as a band & Rod Stewart as a solo artist. So this combination...great song writing and a high energy we are just You on stage attitude, audiences everywhere were hooked. Enjoy my friends!

Our second Hard And Heavy Hump Day post is a re-post and Flac upgrade of an older Opeth post. This 5 song performance shows every reason that Opeth is one of my all time favorite bands. Opeth has been a constantly shifting musical force from the beginning of their recording career. Constantly changing with each LP, their particular brand of Progressive Metal includes elements of Progressive Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Death Metal, Folk Music and more. The songs are usually over the 10 minute mark but never feel overly long. Once on tour opening for Glenn Danzig, Opeth was given 20 minutes a night. There just happens to be on their 2nd album Morningrise a song that is 20 minutes long. That song, "Black Rose Immortal" was played every night of that tour (but never again). I kick myself in the backside every time I think about not going to that freaking show!!

For our first Hard And Heavy Hump Day Post we have a short but absolutely sweet Pat Travers radio broadcast. This one is from Pat's 1981 tour to promote Radioactive, his follow up to the successful Crash And Burn. You get only 4 songs but each one is considered a Pat Travers Classic. My favorite of the 4 is the stomping "Snortin' Whiskey". My absolute favorite Pat Travers song "Stevie" unfortunately not on this recording.

The Pat Travers Band is another of those Hard Rock bands that is common ground between Classic 1970s Hard Rockers and the Heavy Metal Heads of the 1980s. Every Metal Head I know has a copy of 2 Pat Travers albums in their collection, Live Go For What You Know and Crash And Burn. As a matter of fact Kirk Hammett of Metallica cites Pat Travers as a major influence. In the 1980s Detroit bar scene almost every Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band at one time or another included "Snortin' Whiskey" in their set.

This will be a quick download so there is no excuse for not downloading (except if your not a fan, everyone is free to their own opinion of course).

For Your Sunday Morning Jazz Pleasure!

McCoy Tyner is a Jazz Legend and if you only want one bootleg from his Quintet this is the one. It's a very clear recording that has no flaws that should be noted (in my opinion). The band is in great form, tight and well rehearsed. You can just sit back and listen to a fabulous flawless performance.

My Sunday Morning Jazz posts started out because of BigO. They started posting Jazz shows on Sunday morning calling it Jazz On Sunday I think. So yeah like anybody will do with someone else's good idea, I stole it. I really enjoyed downloading their Jazz On Sunday posts. It was a great way to sit and enjoy my coffee in the morning. At the time I started Sunday was my only day off work. I couldn't sleep in on Sunday like Rosebud could so I would make coffee and sit in the living room or weather permitting my back porch and listen to the newest Jazz show I had. Even though I have been retired for a five years I still get up at 5AM.

So don't hold the stolen idea against me especially now that BiO is no more...Let's just say I'm carrying forward the tradition. Enjoy my Friends!!!

justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to edit some track marks. I also tried to even the volume some as it fluctuated quite a bit. No EQ or Noise Reduction was used. No remastering or remixing was done. The DVD had lossy audio so I encoded the waves to MP3 320kbps using Trader's Little Helper.

Okay how to explain the Norwegian band Shining to the uninitiated. First off they are not the Black Metal band Shining from Sweden. They are a band that really likes to experiment with many different musical genres in on song. The band combines elements of Industrial Metal, Extreme Metal, Drone, Noise, and Free Jazz plus more. If you are studying music in school this is a definite must listen (lol). The vocals are delivered in screams and growls like Industrial and Extreme Metal music. The guitars are loud and heavily distorted the drums pounding. The rhythms and time signatures are all over the spectrum, don't look for a 4/4 count (lol). When band leader Jørgen Munkeby drops his guitar & grabs his saxophone all bets are off. The music seems to hang right on the point of going off the rails. If you like the Improvisations of King Crimson, the Mwandishi era of Herbie Hancock, The Nels Cline Singers, and Industrial Metal, combine that with Boris and I still haven't explained it right...you have to check it out for yourself...but to me it was no surprise that their Blackjazz album has a cover of "21st Century Schizoid Man".

I almost did a happy dance when I obtained this recording, seriously! I am a huge Foghat fan. I have worn out untold numbers of 8-track tapes, cassettes & vinyl copies of all Foghat releases since seeing them on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert.

A point of agreement between Me, my close Metal Head Friends & my close non-Metal Head Friends (I do have those lol!!) are copies of Foghat Live, Fool For The City, Night Shift and Stone Blue. When I played a Foghat Mix-Disc I made for my son Spider he says to me "These guys are one of the old school bands that made you guys want to play faster aren't they..listen to the double bass drums Dad! That's awesome shit" end quote. I replied "It now seems like a natural step from Foghat to Anvil but a lot of my friends didn't see it that way back in the early days of the Heavy Metal scene".

Anyway this is yet another great Mike Millard Master Recording. A little less audience noise in this one compared to the Joe Walsh recording. Enjoy Friends!!

Another great Mike Millard recording for your listening pleasure. This time from my favorite member of The Eagles (sorry I was a Joe Walsh fan before I was an Eagles fan). My first time hearing Joe Walsh was when a girl brought the 45 single for "Rocky Mountain Way" to school. We were in elementary school and we could bring in records to play during class free time and for recess if we stayed inside. I remember I bought my own copy soon after. My first time hearing The Eagles was when I was still in elementary school and heard "New Kid In Town" on the radio during the bus ride home. I know Joe Walsh was in the band a short time compared to the rest of the band, my favorite of the Joe Walsh-less era is of course Glenn Frey, what a great songwriter!

This Millard recording is as great as all the rest. The audience is a little chatty but not too bad. The listening experience is not affected by audience so. enjoy!!!

I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to edit track marks, lower the music volume a little, raise the interview volume and add fade ins and outs. The DVD had lossy audio so the waves were encoded to MP3 320kbps using Trader's Little Helper.

How do I describe King Woman to you and make you curious enough to want to check them out. I could quote you the little blurb on the CD...King Woman is an experimental musical vehicle for the Performance Artist Kristina Esfandiari featuring elements of Doom Metal and Shoegaze with raw vocal emotion...For fans of Jarbo era Swans, EARTH, Big Brave, SunnO))) and Boris...I mean that gets us in the ballpark (since I like all them it was an easy sell).

I could also describe it to you like I tried to with Spider & Rosebud. "There are long drawn out throbbing guitar & bass riffs, powerful drums all while Kristina Esfandiari bares here soul in a mournful croon. The music always builds in power as the performance progresses akin Post Rock/Metal as Kristina's vocals increase in emotion akin to Old School Gospel/Soul Singers." In the end it's better to just let you check the music out for yourself. I have picked up all 3 of the bands available releases and their 2017 release Created In The Image Of Suffering is my latest CD obsession.

Dickie Peterson died October 12, 2009 from liver cancer caused by prostate cancer that had metastasized, he was 63.

Paul Whaley died from heart failure January 28, 2019, he was 72.

Blue Cheer gets brought into the conversation about the Roots Of Heavy Metal about as much as The MC5 does, frequently but not quite enough. They both also get thrown into the mix when discussing Proto-Punk and Proto-Grunge. Dickie Peterson must be looking down from Heavy Metal Heaven with a big grin. Can you imagine Dickie Peterson and Paul Whaley jamming with The MC5 and Motörhead in Heavy Metal Heaven? Maybe that's why clouds turn black....

This show came to me in flac form but was tested as 100% MP3 based so I only shared it in MP3 320kbps...sorry.
