I am not sure where I got this show from but it is a Hell of a show! If I remember what I read it came from a guy who was a soundman who would sub at shows sometimes or something like that. Anyway there was a habit of recording the Front Of House Mix I guess for the band. That is where this tape came from allegedly. The recording came with pictures of a cassette boom box taped to soundboard equipment. The original uploader text is included for your reading pleasure. No matter if the story checks out or not, we get to listen to a soundboard recording from Foghat circa 1975!!! Call Me Happy!!!

Roy Haynes died November 12, 2024, following a short illness, he was 99.

I was made aware of Roy Haynes passing by one of our readers, mikeL. There was no cause given but at age 99 it was probably natural causes. It also would have him around age 85 when this awesome show was recorded. It's only 20 minutes but it's the only show I have of Roy as band leader. Roy Haynes was the sideman to the stars...even being the favorite drummer of Charlie Parker. That in itself is huge, Roy Haynes name is listed on so many classic Jazz releases I would need a separate blog to name them (a slight exaggeration). So add this to your Sunday Morning Jazz playlist you won't be disappointed.

This short but very sweet recording has just that one flaw, it's too short. I really could enjoy a full show of this quirky quintet. I mean trombone, accordion and sousaphone, along with organ, sax and percussion, when I read the instrumentation I had to hear it. With just the right amount of humor "Three-Legged Tango In Jackson Square" sounds like it could either be the soundtrack to a montage of Jerry Springer clips or your Saturday morning walk through the park to find a good seat before a Jazz Festival starts. This is some lighthearted music that will get your Sunday Morning started on the good side...

Alright here is where it gets a little wierd...how does a Metal Head post a show from the Eurythmics a Synth-Pop band. Blame it on my guitar player in Psychosis. The 2 of us were the main song writers of the band and we would listen to anything but Heavy Metal when we were in writing mode. We didn't want to sound like the other Metal bands around. I would listen to Joe Walsh, Joe Cocker and Bob Seger he would listen to a lot of Talking Heads, Frank Zappa and Eurythmics. I fell in love with Annie Lennox's voice. I have very few Eurythmics releases but the ones I have are in rotation still. This is a great listen and fans of Annie Lennox and The Eurythmics will love it!!

This show really takes me back. In 1982 I was still in High School and was driving my first car a Chocolate Brown 1972 Chevy Nova SS that had a very loud stereo in it. The 1st Aldo Nova album was played a lot in that car. Aldo Nova released an album that helped start a wave of commercial Heavy Metal music from America. Love the fact that Aldo Nova covers Grand Funk Railroad's "Foot Stomping Music" during his set, Michigan pride you know.

Now here is a nice find that just popped up at The Trader's Den recently. Gamma was always a great live band. The music always had that little bit more of an edge most Hard Rock bands had live in the 1970s. Producers back then kind of neutered Hard Rock bands in the studio. Ronnie Montrose couldn't win when it came to critics and the masses. Everything he did was held up against the monstrous debut from Montrose, I mean Paper Money wasn't even good enough. That was essentially the same band doing the same thing but for most it wasn't good enough. For me those 2 albums are Proto-Metal Gold straight from the mine!

This recording shows it's age a little, but is still a very enjoying listen!

- Show Incomplete, late set cuts out at song seven


I was very surprised when I logged into The Trader's Den to see what new goodies had been posted and found this hidden gem. A Three Dog Night soundboard with Check Negron still in the group!! What a great find!! Even the casual Three Dog Night Fan needs this show in their archive!!! When it comes to Three Dog Night shows on the net there are very few. I creep all over the net and I've seen hardly any.

This is a true soundboard with very little audience noise heard. The mix is actually pretty good despite it being a dry soundboard, on a soundboard recording the mix can be uneven. The band is in great form and voice. The only big fault of this recording is that it cuts off at the seventh song of the late set. I guarantee you will have this one in heavy rotation. It's playing right now as I make this post!

3 songs in 43 minutes, it's short on titles not on outstanding performances. I am really enjoying the fact that a Detroit born and bred Kenny Garrett is playing sax on this one. Chick Corea only plays with the best, knowing that he picked a Detroit musician is a point of pride. I love it when 1 of us makes it out of The D. Detroit has always been a deep ocean of talent with a rich musical history. Oddly enough with with that rich history it's always been a scene that was hard to break out of. A lot of the music that came/comes form Detroit was/is seen as empty of anything but energy. The MC5 seen as a huge influence on Garage Rock, Punk Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Alt-Rock and Grunge were dismissed in their day. Their are more stories than that but The MC5 are the best known example, also this isn't Jazz talk so I will end this little rant by saying enjoy the music and check out those sax solos!!

One of my favorite concert memories was going to the Yes Union show at The Palace Of Auburn Hills. There was 9 of us that went in one van to make transportation easier. We all had scattered seats having bought them late. Only 2 of us sat together, Me and my great friend Gypsy Dan. The Gypsy and I have known each other a long time, bonding on our mutual love of all things Rock n Roll and marijuana!! We worked together in a production company called Red Eye Rock Productions that ran a weekly Red Eye Rock Fest in a big field in Northern Auburn Hills. He was also my weed man for decades...We sat together and were about 5 rows back from the rotating stage. Dan bought a program which I used to roll some really big joints. We lit one up just as a girl in front of us lit a cigarette. That's when we noticed an usher was only 2 rows behind us. The usher waled forward and told the girl to put her cigarette out. Dan and I kept smoking, she didn't say anything. We lit up another around the 3rd song and this girl in front of us lit another cigarette. The usher leaned over my shoulder while I had the program open in my lap with weed on it, tapped the girl and said "Next time I see you you will have to go stand in the back" then walked away. This girl then turned around and said to Dan and I "What the hell?" Dan and I just lit another doobie and offered her a hit. We never got bothered.....

The Haunted was formed out of the ashes of At The Gates. At The Gates was one of the most influential bands to emerge from Sweden. At The Gates was one of the founders of the "Gothenburg Sound" or Melodic Death Metal. Not only did At The Gates influence other Melodic Death Metal bands such as Dark Tranquility and In Flames but were the most influential band on the Metalcore genre. In interview after interview early Metalcore bands more or less said their was only one good band in the world At The Gates. If you listen to early albums by Shadows Fall, All That Remains etc you will hear direct copying of At The Gates riffs. The Haunting brought those elements to a tight groove and kicked all their asses again!

My Metalhead Mind told me that I have been forgetting my fellow Headbangers with my posts lately. To remedy that I have a couple great Metal Bands for you this time around. We start with one of my favorite early Metal Underground Bands Helloween. Helloween's debut full length Walls Of Jerico was and still is one of my favorite Heavy Metal albums. Walls Of Jericho blew me away, it was fast yet precision with Kai Hanson's vocals striking a different tone than the rest of the Speed Metal/Thrash Metal bands. Kai didn't growl he sang with a voice that could hit some very nice high notes. I was surprised when the band hired a front man. I thought Kai Hansen's vocals were great for their music. Michael Kiske could really hit the highs and sang very smooth. So yeah when I bought Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part 1, I was still hooked. This show really takes me back to The Heavy Metal Take Over Of The 1980s. So many different sounds emerging, Thrash Metal, Death Metal, Black Metal the list goes on and on....Relive those days with Helloween.

*There are a few glitches in the recording I believe from a cable issue.

I downloaded this recording for two reasons. #1 I love Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp #2 Because Speedy at So Many Roads To Ease My Soul is looking for recordings from Farm Aid. So hey 2 birds killed with one big rock. I don't post audience recordings unless they are worth listening to more than once so after downloading this I had to audition it before posting. I was sitting in my music room listening to this and Rosebud came in and sat on the couch. It was during the Willie Nelson set and something Willie sang or said made her giggle. I asked if she could hear everything okay and she said yes that she was enjoying it. I then asked would she listen to it again she replied yes. The sound is pretty good, some times a little distant sounding with some bottom end booming but all in all a very enjoyable listen.
