Singer/Songwriter John Hiatt doing what he does best in front of a very appreciative live audience. This show comes form the tour to promote John's breakthrough release Bring The Family. John Hiatt is a songwriters songwriter, meaning artists who are considered great songwriters themselves feel the need to record and interpret John's songs. Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Joan Baez, Eric Clapton, Nick Lowe & Emmylou Harris to name just a few. This is a fine sounding recording and should be a welcome addition to anyone's collection.

As our tribute to Ronnie James Dio rolls on we come to the man's solo career. The DIO solo material fit quite nicely alongside his Rainbow and Black Sabbath material. At the time of this recording Ronnie had a deep back catalog to go through. Along side fan favorites like "Man On The Silver Mountain", "Heaven And Hell", & "Holy Diver" the man pulls out "The Sign Of The Southern Cross" and the rarely played "Gates Of Babylon". Ronnie is in fine voice and the band is playing quite well together. A nice addition to anyone's DIO collection.

Ripped from the bootleg DVD, a fantastic sounding show. Peter addresses the crowd in their native Portuguese, using pre-written notes, receiving chuckles from the crowd when he has to correct himself. The broadcast took place during a storm so there were some problems, the most notable is just after Peter's introduction to "The Rhythm Of The Heat", the music fades in after a burst of static. I removed the static, the fade occurred naturally, I did not add it, nor did I delete it. CD2 track 4 is a speech given about Peter's work with such charities as Amnesty  International, I left it for continuity. If you don't play this track you don't miss any music. My track list is different from the art work because I didn't separate the song intros from the songs like the DVD author, and I didn't encode the 10 minute introduction.

Our next offering for our salute to Ronnie James Dio is from his days with Black Sabbath, more specific, the Heaven & Hell World Tour. This set offers tracks from 3 different shows over 2 packed CD's.

When Black Sabbath re-united the classic line-up after many years apart, Bill Ward commented that the way the band played had changed. He said during his time with the band they had played by "feel". When Sabbath started playing with different drummers the band started playing "time". This was hard for Bill to get used to as he still played by "feel" and never plays a song the same way twice. This great collection gives us a chance to compare the drumming of Bill Ward and first replacement Vinnie Appice. CD1 is Vinnie Appice and CD2 has Bill Ward. The second half of the CD is of special note, being an unknown soundboard from the USA tour.

The file set was almost a gig so I split the flac in 2 parts all parts needed to unzip.

With the anniversary of Ronnie James Dio's passing comes closer Rosebud and I have decided to pay tribute the man with bootlegs from his various bands. Up first is an offering from his days in Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. More specifically the Rainbow Rising line-up. Considered by many to be the definitive version of the band, which would only last to the recording sessions for the follow up album started. This 2 CD bootleg is comprised of tracks from 3 Japan shows. The concerts in Germany and Japan during the Rising Tour were recorded to make the On Stage live album. With a heavy metal sound and the improvisational skills of MK2 era Deep Purple, it's no small wonder this line-up is loved by so many.

This nice sounding recording of Cypress Hill in concert should have been part of our 4-20 celebration, but I got high and forgot about it. Any way better late than never. This recording comes from Cypress Hill's tour for there 3rd album Cypress Hill III: Temples of Boom. The album hit #3 on both The Billboard 200 & Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. The album was a departure from the first 2 in that the tempos were slowed down and eerie effects were used to convey the uneasy feelings within Cypress members. Sen Dog had temporarily left to pursue some other projects. The band was also having a feud with rapper Ice Cube who Cypress Hill thought was stealing material from them.

The last installment of the Draftervoi Neil Young Westwood One Project.

Draftervoi's notes:
Attributed to Jones Beach in the credits, but five of the songs are recorded elsewhere.
I cross referenced this with the Jones Beach set list at http://www.sugarmtn.org/,
and I've marked the songs that weren't played at Jones Beach.

All of these tracks are attributed to a variety of European shows on the "Old Gringo" bootleg...but very clearly identified here as being from Jones Beach.

These songs are the same tracks as on the "Old Gringo" bootleg, but the version of "Ohio" included
here has a long spoken introduction that's not on that bootleg.

This is the latest addition to my Don Kirshner's Rock Concert DVD collection. The DVD is made from a pre-broadcast source. The audio was pretty good but I brought the high end up a little, as it was hard to hear Stewart Copeland's high hat, which is an essential part of the bands sound. As to the performance, the band plays around with some of the arrangements to great effect. Sting's soaring vocals are a little road weary but still sound good. I must admit I missed this performance when it originally aired so to have it now is pretty freakin' cool!

Great sounding recording of a fabulous Eric Clapton gig. Eric was on the road promoting his Behind The Sun release. The album had 3 top 20 singles, "Forever Man" #1, "See What Love Can Do" #20, "She's Waiting" #11. The album was the second release after Eric kicked his alcohol addiction, and the first of two collaborations with Phil Collins.

Continuing with our 4-20 celebration postings we have Stoner Rock legends Kyuss turning in a typically kick ass performance at The Bizzare Festival. Kyuss is one of those bands that everyone in their genre cites as an influence. They are also one of those bands that didn't quite get the recognition they deserved until it was too late and had broken up. Queens Of The Stone Age, Vista Chino, and other bands came from the ashes. A re-union without Josh Homme called Kyuss Lives! was halted by Homme with a lawsuit.

This is one of the best Slayer gigs I've heard in a while. I say this because it's been a long time since Tom Araya hit the scream at the beginning of "Angel Of Death" but he does it here. This is actually the best that I've heard Tom sound in a while. As far as the set goes Slayer is like Ac/Dc or Motorhead you always know what your gonna get, a greatest hits package with a couple new ones thrown in. Since Slayer hasn't released anything since World Painted Blood there is nothing new. Performance wise this thing kicks ass like only Slayer can.

Like many bands, Kansas used radio concerts to get the word out that they were a live act worth putting your hard earned money down see. This CD captures two shows from the early years of the bands career and shows just why they grew to the heights they did. Kansas was always a great live band, who let their audience know they really appreciated the chance to perform for them. The music was always well written and the lyrics thought provoking. In one college music theory class, my professor chose "Carry On Wayward Son" as an example of a perfectly crafted song.
We got this from Dino at D & P's Bootleg Tunz World so you know it's a Quality Recording!

First off look at the cover art that is above this post. Rick James, Van Morrison, & The Kinks, that's a pretty diverse line-up. The Pub Rock of The Kinks, the Funk & Roll of Rick James and the Jazzy Bluesy take on Rock & Roll of Van Morrison. Sounds like something Bill Graham would book at the Filmore. Now no 4-20 celebration would be complete without Rick James belting out "Mary Jane" the man's love song to his favorite smoke.
