The cover art says the date was in 1984 but the date is actually 1983. There was a really good website with all the tour dates Kansas did in their career and if any recordings existed of the show. Alas when I checked it before this post the site was no longer available. This is a great show from this period, Kansas would go on hiatus after this tour.

A nice sounding set from The Keith Jarrett Trio. I've always liked hearing Jazz artists take on Rock or Pop songs. I'm not a big fan of Bob Dylan myself, I like some stuff but one greatest hits collection and a CD my wife got for free from Victoria's Secret (no lie they were giving them away with purchase, it's called Dylan Love or something like that) make up my Dylan collection. That being said I love the versions of the 2 Dylan songs performed here and I think any Dylan fan might too. The "Unknown Title" seems to be an improvisation, a highly recommended boot.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor (formerly punctuated Godspeed You Black Emperor! and commonly abbreviated to GYBE! or GY!BE) is a Canadian Post-Rock band which originated from Montreal, Quebec in 1994. The band took its name from God Speed You! Black Emperor, a 1976 Japanese black-and-white documentary by director Mitsuo Yanagimachi, which follows the exploits of a Japanese biker gang, The Black Emperors. The band uses film projections as an integral part of their live shows. They are also a taper friendly band allowing fans to tape & share shows.

Many Post-Metal bands cite Godspeed You! Black Emperor as a big influence on their sound. Such bands as Nuerosis, Agolloch, Wolves In The Throne Room, ISIS, Pelican, and Mogwai among others claim Godspeed You! Black Emperor as well as Dead Can Dance, were a bigger influence than any particular Metal band.

This is the band mentioned in Michael Moore's book Dude, Where's My Country? that was held on suspicion of terrorism while on tour in the USA. After stopping at a local gas station for fuel in the town of Ardmore, Oklahoma, during their 2003 tour of the United States. The station attendant working that day believed the group of Canadians to be terrorists. She quickly passed a note to another customer also getting fuel to call the police. When the local police appeared, the group was held until they could be questioned by the FBI. Although the police were suspicious of the band's anti-government documents and some photos they had (such as those of oil rigs), they found no incriminating evidence. After background checks were run, the ensemble was released from custody and continued on their way to their next show in Columbia, MO. Efrim Menuck later spoke to the crowd about what happened to them during their appearance in Missouri and speculated that their origin was a motive for being released quickly ("It's a good thing we're nice white kids from Canada"), hinting at racism in the police force.

The bootleg is titled Unreleased Radio Broadcast but the show was actually never aired. Kiss was the opening act for Rory Gallagher and WMMS-FM broadcast Rory's set but not Kiss'. This is the gig mentioned in the Kiss biography where Peter Criss III passed out on his drum riser. The riser rose during the ending of "Black Diamond" and Peter was overcome by the smoke from all the on stage explosions. Most of the stage banter has been edited out by the bootlegger, but the music is all there for us to get a peek into history when Kiss was young and hungry.

According to the liner notes to the remastered re-released Aldo Nova CD, Aldo got his big break while portraying George Harrison in a Canadian Beatles tribute band. He was offered a chance to collaborate with a local recording artist. That relationship failed but Aldo was offered a contract with ATV Music Productions on the strength of the songs themselves.

Aldo started recording demos and shopping them around landing a contract with Portrait records in 1981. The label sent the demos to Rush producer Terry Brown who sent them back saying Aldo needed no help and should produce himself. The demos themselves were pressed as Aldo Nova's first LP after being remixed by Tony Bonjiovi. In exchange for the mixing help Aldo agreed to help out Tony's cousin Jon Bonjiovi who was working on his own demos. Aldo laid down guitar on what would be Jon Bon Jovi's first hit single "Runaway". Uncredited and unknown to most Bon Jovi fans is that Aldo also provided the high pitch vocals on that song as well, not Jon.

Aldo's following 2 LP's failed to reach the success of their predecessor due to the American Heavy Metal explosion. Aldo's Pop Metal music was lost in a sea of similar sounding Metal releases. Aldo went on to work with Lita Ford and the very Non-Metal Michael Bolton. He also helped Jon Bon Jovi write and record his Blaze Of Glory LP. Bon Jovi re-payed the favor by helping Aldo with his comeback LP Blood On The Bricks. After that LP failed to catch on Aldo became a producer songwriter. He now has the very Non-Metal position of playing synthesizer and guitar for Celine Dion. He has also written and produced many songs for her including her comeback smash "A New Day Has Come". Aldo also wrote Clay Aiken's number #1 Hit Single "This Is The Night".
