Another gem of a recording from Mike Millard. I'm willing to bet that me posting a Todd Rundgren show might be a surprise because I only post what I listen to. I actually do listen to Todd Rundgren, I'm not a fanatic but there is some of his stuff I do appreciate. It wasn't always that way though. I had heard "Hello It's Me" and "I Saw The Light" on the radio but no more. It changed one day when my cousin Jamey and I were walking to the corner store to play video games. Under a bush by an intersection I saw a record. It was Todd Rundgren's Something/Anything and it was in pretty good shape. I took it home and listened to it. I was not to impressed then and put it away and did not play it again for a long time. It was after my guitar player played me Todd Rundgren's No World Order in 1993. I revisited Something/Anything with the same mindset I did when I listened to Frank Zappa's early records with the doowop stuff. As a musician that quickly became bored with the 2 and a half minute POP Song Format. When I first listened to the album I had no idea what Ant-Pop was. I do now I guess...Anyway this is a great sounding audience show that should be in every Todd Rundgren fan's collection.

I remember hearing Joe Jackson's "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" on the radio, thought it was good and bought the 8-track of Look Sharp. I loved the album. It was so much more than the quirky Anti-Pop of "Is She Realy Going Out With Him?". For me as a teenage musician wanting to write songs Look Sharp & I'm The Man were eye opening. I would put them as just as important to budding 1980s song writers as Elvis Costello's My Aim Is True or Patti Smith's Horses. Personally for me it sent me down a more raw approach to my lyrics and music. It helped when I started turning to writing Heavy Metal songs. I used the influences of what Patti Smith, Joe Jackson, Wendy O. Williams, Motörhead and The MC5 had taught me. It worked pretty good for me and a lot better for some others...Hope this energetic show helps you get over the hump this week....

JustDave's Notes:

Art from Discogs, my scanner is too small for LP art.

Transfer:
LPs cleaned with the HumminGuru Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaning system. The album was then treated with D4+ and a Zerostat Positive Ion gun was used prior to LP playback. Large pops/clicks removed manually in Goldwave. Play back was a flat/raw transfer no added bass, treble or EQ.

Sound Quality:
Sound Quality is very good to almost excellent. Almost sounds like a monitor mix except for a moment early in the show where the mic gets covered for a second. Over all a very enjoyable recording that I don't see at The Traders Den, other torrent trackers or blogs.

Noted Flaws:
1. Side Two has a bad flaw at the beginning of "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" causing loud pops and skips. The section is in the first 18 seconds of the song then plays fine afterward. I tried to ease the loudness of the pops but the skips are still there (but softer). This is the only real flaw in this recording. The flaw looks like little bubbles in the vinyl.

2. Incomplete show...setlist.fm shows a total of 31 songs played. "Eat The Rat" as show starter missing."I Just Want To Have Something To Do", "Too Tough To Die", "Mama's Boy", "Animal Boy", and "Wart Hog" all played between "Glad To See You Go" and "Surfin' Bird" missing.

Digitally encoded by JustDave on December 19, 2022

I am also torrenting this at The Trader's Den which I am happy to say is not closing down. They have found who they need to save things.

I have had this record for some time now but only just got around to finishing the encoding. You actually could mistake this recording to be a monitor mix instead of from the audience. Yes it is in stereo and I do believe a bit of an exlusive for The New JDP. The performance is furious, I know I say this a lot but it is very true this time...Everyone who listens to The Ramones needs this show in their collection!!!!!!

This happens to be in my opinion the best sounding version of this recording that I have heard. I have a few in my collection and I compared them this version won out.

When I was in High School showing up to school in a concert t-shirt the day after the show was a badge of honor. However I had to be a little different due to my well deserved Bad Boy image. So I went to Junior High wearing a Styx Grand Illusion t-shirt. I was stopped almost every other step "Wow, You went to Styx!!" I had by this time become quite good at sneaking out my bedroom window, over the fence, through the vacant lot to my friends waiting car. From there it was minutes to the highway and we were on our way. I would just tell my parents later that I had a friend by the shirt for me. Worked every time..

It is not short on amazing performances by a talented and precision unit who have honed their craft to the point of masterful. From the wonderful rendition of the Gershwin Classic "Summertime" to the arrangement of the Late Legendary Carla Bley's "Ictus" it doesn't get any better than this. Except for the lengthy take on "The Meaning Of The Blues". I listened to this show last night and I had to repeat "The Meaning Of The Blues" a second time to take it all in...I know that a lot of our Jazz Friends are going to love this for their Sunday Morning Jazz!!

Another great show from My very deep Jazz Archive. This one also comes from the now terribly missed web site, BigO. The Legendary Cannonball Adderley with the also Legendary George Duke in his band put on one hell of a show here. I actually have this one spinning right now enjoying my coffee and My Sunday Morning Jazz. What BigO said about this show is bellow.

What BigO Said:
From the Miles Davis Sextet in 1959 to appearing on the Kung Fu TV series in 1975; and even getting a tribute by Joe Zawinul on Weather Report’s Black Market album, that’s a big arch for anyone, but probably all in a day’s work for Cannonball Adderley.

This is a fine electric jazz show from a finely-honed unit. Keyboardist George Duke has some stellar moments on "Black Messiah" while Cannonball’s brother, Nat Adderley, gets to shine on "Hummin’". Meanwhile, "Soli Tomba" entrances with its Asian feel. For those not familiar with this show (seems well circulated among Cannonball fans), you will be easily tempted to leave it on repeat mode.

Thanks to dan_augen who shared the tracks on the net back in 2006.

A great sounding recording of Michigan Homeboy Del Shannon during his 1980's comeback. In the 1980s there were a few music stars who's careers ended in the 1970s or earlier made come backs. Chubby Checker, Mitch Ryder, Tina Turner, John Fogerty and Gary "US" Bonds to name a few. I personally didn't know Del Shannon was included in that list until I found this recording. I downloaded it from The Traders Den maybe 4 days ago. What a show too! Del is in fine voice, the band plays great and the set list is top notch. The cover of The Beatles Classic "From Me To You" is worth the download alone!!!

To most Yes fans looking back at Tales From Topographic Oceans, the biggest disappointment wasn't the album, tour or Rick Wakeman's departure after the tour. It's that no soundboard or broadcast recordings exist from the tour. There are however 73 different bootleg releases of the tour. All audience recordings of differing quality from unlistenable to this great Mike Millard audience recording. In my humble opinion if you want one good recording from this tour this is the one to have. The sound is really good, Mike the Mic had a great position and with The JEMS Team's great work with the transfer you have an awesome listening experience!

Rosebud & I feel very lucky that we were able to see Ray Charles in concert together. He played at Pine Knob Amphitheater with a pretty funny comedian as opening act. Ray was escorted out by the Raelettes to his piano to join in what I think was his old instrumental track "Booty Butt". Before playing his first song Ray said it was his birthday which my memory thinks he said his 70th. The man played and sang like you would expect the King Of Soul to. After his second song he says "They tell me we have plenty of seats available in the pavilion so any of you on the hill want to get a little closer management says you can come on down." The hill was pretty well sold and not a lot of people got up so Rosebud and I walked down the hill and got 12th row center seats for the best concert we would see that year.

Steve Perry – lead and backing vocals
Neal Schon – guitar, backing vocals
Gregg Rolie – keyboards, backing and lead vocals
Ross Valory – bass guitar, backing vocals
Aynsley Dunbar – drums

This recording comes close to when Aynsley Dunbar leaves Journey. It's actually the start of the one by one loss of everyone, except for Neil Schon, that had anything to do with bringing Journey from No Name to Fame. Next to leave will be Gregg Rolie, then Ross Valory. The music would also go through changes as the members came and went. When Steve Perry came in the music went from a Progressive sounding Hard Rock to a more radio friendly sounding Album Oriented Rock or Arena Rock. This in turn was the reason for Aynsley Dunbar's departure. When Gregg Rolie left and Jonathan Cain came in, the music evolved to a synthesizer driven Pop Rock. When Ross Valory left the band become a full on Adult Contemporary Ballad band. Unfortunately the band has slipped into the same swampy farce as the 1980s Hair Metal scene. With members and former members engaging in law suits over the bands name, Steve Perry released a solo album  and claims he never felt like a real member of the band and refused to take part in their Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame performance...Now that's said, screw it and let's just enjoy some great music....

Les Binks – drums

Early broadcast from Judas Priest on their Stained Class tour. A lot of Judas Priest fans prefer the recordings with Les Binks on drums. Each time Judas Priest changed drummers there was a change to the music as well. When Les Binks joined The Priest actually took a heavier turn. Heavier and faster, but when Dave Holland joined Priest took a more commercial turn. The songs seemed to be written for a more radio friendly sound. When Dave Holland was replaced with Scott Travis Judas Priest returned to a Heavier sound. Not sure if these were calculated moves or just what happens when a band changes one ingredient in the mix.

This recording does show it's age or maybe more correctly it's generation. I would love to get a hold of a 1st Gen copy or the master because this is an awesome early performance from Priest. It is an enjoyable listen, but has a few little flaws...

Ray Price, Waylon Jennings, Bobby Bare, Johnny Cash, Sami Smith (she had a hit with "Help Me Make It Through The Night"), Janis Joplin, Joe Simon, Patty Page, Jerry Lee Lewis, Rod Stewart, and Elvis Presley just to drop a few of the names of singers who have recorded and had hits with Kristofferson's songs. He wrote one of my favorite Country songs ever. The the typical Country Music Story which nobody ever wrote better, "Sunday Mornin' Coming Down". I mean Ray Stevens released the 1st version of that song in 1969. Ray Stevens the guy best known for "The Streak" recorded that song. So did Johnny Cash, a great songwriter himself who needed no help writing a hit, recorded a Number 1 Hit Single with "Sunday Mornin' Coming Down". When a songwriter records one of your songs, you know that you did something right. Kris Kristofferson reached a kind of immortality. His songs will carry his name into an infinite future....Rest In Peace Kris Kristofferson.

OK, Rosebud had to work today, the leaves are changing color in my backyard, and it's raining. I needed something bright on this grey morning. So I picked this Pat Metheny Group show to start my Sunday Morning Jazz time. The combination of Pat's guitar tone and the keyboard sound of Lyle Mays do paint a bright picture in the mind. For Me the music they create always has a calming uplifting effect like lying on a grassy knoll in the sunshine on a warm summer morning. A light breeze makes the leaves dance, birds sing and you have not a care in the world....Enjoy Your Sunday My Friends!!!!

Now you just can not go wrong with some live Joe Cocker, and Pre-FM to boot. This Pre-FM comes from the collection of Krw_co a group of collectors that have a great collection of tapes and discs. They released quite a bit at The Trader's Den which is were I think I got this one from. Their encodings are always top notch as a rule I check out all their releases even audience. This is just like the rest, a great encoding of an awesome Joe Cocker show!

Oh Yeah! Krokus on tour to promote Hardware. The first Krokus album I bought was One Vice At A Time. I heard "Long Stick Goes Boom" on the radio, on the late night program. The late night program on WRIF-FM was different than the Day shift. Late night you might get whole albums played. They were a little looser with what they would play. When The Plasmatics Beyond The Valley Of 1984 was released they played it in it's entirety. When The Clash released London Calling they did the same. Some nights just what ever the DJ wanted to play and requests. I got them to play Black Sabbath's "Spiral Architect" when the only Black Sabbath you heard on the radio was "Paranoid", "Iron Man" and "Heaven And Hell". Hell I got them to play ELP's "Tarkus" dude on the phone sounded as high as I was...am

So my first chance to see Krokus came when they opened for Def Leppard at Joe Louis Arena. I think the Krokus set might have been broadcast. I read an interview with Marc Storace where he was quoted saying "We were kicked off the Def Leppard tour. They were jealous because we got a better reaction every night." Now Krokus kicked ass, mind you it's a foggy memory, but I remember Def Leppard being just as good. The second time I saw them was at The Fox Theater in Detroit. They were on a tour with W.A.S.P., Metallica and some other band that I can not remember. Metallica was still underground on tour to promote Ride The Lightning. You couldn't walk out of The Fox that night without some kind of impression of Metallica. They were in the middle of the show, louder and so much heavier than the rest. I had already been a fan since Kill' Em All. Already playing Thrash myself. There were a lot of people that, unlike me and a few others, had never heard Metallica. That was my last Krokus show, my band started getting regular shows in the 1980s, I caught some shows missed a lot....

Grace Slick is one of Rosebud's favorite singers. This comes from her recently expanded collection. Like i said in an earlier post The Trader's Den is closing. I have a fairly good share ratio which I am using up downloading as much as I can before October 19. They need someone that can help write code and update the site on a more modern platform. Sucks but I'm not a coder if it wasn't for the ease of blogger's dashboard we wouldn't be here.

Back to this show. It's nice sounding recording for it's age and only a 1st Generation tape, makes me want to hear the master. Hope you enjoy it!
