Computor Went Boom!! @#/%*$ 2020!!

 Well this year keeps cranking out the hits. The extended time between posts this time was the unexpected crashing of my computer. Thing was working fine, I shut it off, then went back later to work again and the big bad blue screen say that booting up was unsuccessful. This was the 2nd computer I had die on me in 2020. My "download machine" quit working a couple months ago (I think the power supply went). So not wanting to spend the money on a new power supply (or tearing into it without doing some modifications) I started using my music computer (built mainly for music editing and listening). So it went down.

When I bought it I was like oh HP support assistant software included, ok. It includes a built in recovery system. It took a little time but I figured out how to get the recovery system to work but finally had the system rebooted. The recovery system resets the operating system to original factory so I had to re-install my programs. I got the system up and running like it just came out of the box. It crashed 2 more times. It was really frustrating to have finished just to have it not boot up the next day.

I think I have it figured out, each time it happened was shortly after my computer ran the Windows 7 Roll Out Update For 2020. I've come to believe that the damn thing has a time bomb in it to make Windows 7 fail so you have to upgrade to Windows 10. Apple did it more than once, Bill Gates is not above anything to make a dollar.

Anyway we have some new stuff posted. More Experimental/Improvisational Jazz from Nels Cline Singers this time with the addition of The Rova Saxophone Quartet. Another Third World Jazz show from Jon Hassel & Maarifa Street.

A double dose of Ronnie James Dio for Rosebud's Salute to Her Favorite Singers. A 3 CD set that collects together 3 Hammersmith Oden shows. Also a 3 CD set of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow rehearsing for their 1976 World Tour.

For my salute to Prog-Rock another show from ELP side project 3's only US tour. Then a Jem of a boot with 2 Classic British Prog Bands Caravan & Gong (a British/French outfit actually). 

We also have our first post from Detroit's Was(Not Was). A music project from famous producer Don Was. This is a classic BBC broadcast and is offered in tribute to lead vocalist Hillard "Sweet Pea" Atkinson who died May 5, 2020 from a heat attack.

Then for good measure we threw in a 2018 Rock Hard Festival appearance from Uli Jon Roth.

That's It For Now!

Rest In Peace co-lead vocalist Hillard "Sweet Pea" Atkinson who died from a heart attack May 5, 2020, he was 74.

It's so hard to really explain Detroit's Was(Not Was) to the uninitiated. When I try to, I'll say take some great Funk, Soul, and R & B rhythms and harmonies. That rich soulful singing perfected by the likes of David Ruffin. Add to that a little electronica (bits). Lyrics so tongue in cheek Frank Zappa would be proud, delivered completely serious. All of that filtered through a crystal clear Don Was production. That's as close as I can get then I pop in a CD. That's truly the only way. But since it's free just download this one for one kick ass version of The Temptations Smash "Pappa Was A Rollin' Stone". Oh yeah I almost forgot they had a hit MTV video and single with "Walk The Dinosaur".

I originally downloaded this show from the Live Jazz Lounge, a great site for unreleased Jazz shows. I have downloaded quite a lot of music from there and have shared a few of them. I really recommend my Jazz friends visit the lounge to see if there is anything you might want. There most likely will be.

As for this particular show, it's 55 minutes of great Ambient Jazz. I love listening to Jon Hassel music with the lights dimmed, some nice weed and a glass of mead or wine. If you liked the last Jon Hassell show I posted or the previous Nils Petter Molvær shows your going to like this one too.

Continuing with my salute to Progressive Rock Bands, we have a double shot of Prog on one boot with Caravan & Gong. 2 bands you don't here half as much as you do Yes, Genesis or E.L.P. The British Isles really took the lead when it comes to Progressive Rock. Not to say that other countries didn't have some Great Prog-Rockers but from my own ear's perspective it seems like the British Prog scene just birthed so many talented bands and new sounds (not to mention giving us the genre to begin with).

Rosebud's Tribute To Her Favorite Singers continues with The Godfather Of Heavy Metal Ronnie James Dio, or Dio as his fans call him. Dio, a name  when mentioned in Hard Rock/Heavy Metal circles gets you a flash of the Meloik and story of a first Dio concert experience. Some will say it was with Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. Some will say it was fronting the mighty return of Black Sabbath (Me included JD). Then there are those who say it was fronting his eponymously named solo outfit Dio. A chosen few can say they saw the man fronting Elf. A rare few can say it was as Ronnie Dio fronting the Doo Wop group Ronnie & The Red Caps. No matter where and when they saw him, it was always agreed the man had a presence larger than his 5 foot 4 inch frame. His distinctive voice, phrasing, and inflections were boosted by a power that most singers could not muster on their best day.

This bad ass 3 CD set collects together 3 killer Dio performances at The London Hammersmith Odeon. 1 with Vivian Campbell on guitar, 2 with Craig Goldie. All 3 are a nice mix of Dio's career from Rainbow, through Black Sabbath, to his solo career. I remember when I first heard the Holy Diver album. My friend we called Tripper (not because of LSD though) brought it over to my house the same day I had bought Motörhead's Another Perfect Day. We smoked a couple joints and listened to the Motörhead first. Neither one of us loved it on the first listen (it's 1 of my top 5 of Motörhead now0. It was a bit of a change of direction, more melodic. We then put on Holy Diver, it was actually a love at first sound thing for both of us. I did comment it was a bit more commercial than his Black Sabbath material (just like Ozzy). We both, however, agreed it was the perfect bridge between his Rainbow and Sabbath music. Like any fanatic of Ronnie James Dio, I was more than pleased to find that live it was just that. All 3 sets here are loaded with Rainbow, Sabbath and Dio tunes. Enjoy!!

Rosebud's Tribute To Her Favorite Singers continues with a double shot of Ronnie James Dio. Both recordings are 3 CD sets as well. This one is from Rainbow's rehearsals for their 1976 world tour. It's been called a for fanatics only collection because of it's shortage of complete performances. I say anyone curious about how the band prepped for a show should check it out. It's a free download of a very expensive bootleg CD, but if this one isn't for you show #2 from this double shot will be.

justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to re-edit a couple track marks. No EQ, noise reduction or remastering was needed. The DVD had lossy audio so I used Goldwave to encode the waves to MP3 320kbps.

Uli Jon Roth aka Ulrich Roth played guitar for The Scorpions from 1974 to 1978. Uli played lead guitar on all releases from Fly To The Rainbow to The Tokyo Tapes live album. Uli then left the band and formed the band Electric Sun. Fans were of course upset, those 5 albums had earned Scorpions a nice sized cult following. To this day that cult following still follows Uli Jon Roth's career. The split of course gave Uli a solo career plus allowed The Scorpions to evolve into the hit making 1980's Metal Icons that they are.

This recording catches Uli cranking out a set of Scorpions classics from his era. "The Sails Of Charon", "Fly To The Rainbow", & "In Trance" to name a few. Of course Uli throws in 2 covers of his idol, Jimi Hendrix. "Little Wing" & Jimi's cover of the Bob Dylan penned "All Along The Watchtower" finish of this set. All Scorpions fans who haven't heard a lot of the older material should check this one out. All fans who, like me, have been there since Lonesome Crow are going to love this show!!

We Got The Blues And More!!

Well we have finished re-posting all the Blues shows which brings us ever closer to a finished archive. FileFactory says we have over 2500 files stored, a little over 600GB stored, already. So when we fixed the Blues shows like all the other re-posts some shows were upgraded to Flac, can't remember which but some. Anyway just so you know this round of re-posts included such artists and shows like: The Foghat Blues Tribute Show featuring Otis Blackwell, Eddie Kirkland, Honey Boy Edwards, Paul Butterfield, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, & Johnny Winter, WOW! We also have a team up of Alvin Lee & Mick Taylor, Ten Years After, Bonnie Raitt, B.B. King, The Jeff Healey Band, John Hiatt, Kenny Wayne Shepherd,  The Blues Rock of Humble Pie, Robin Trower, & Sass Jordan. A show where Johnny Winter Hosts Blues Legends Muddy Waters, James Cotton & Pinetop Perkins. 10 Stevie Ray Vaughan shows! 3 from brother Jimmy Vaughan & The Fabulous Thunderbirds. More Blues Rock Guitar from The Pat Travers Band, & Beth Hart. We can't forget the Legendary Rory Galagher's 6 shows including his Don Kirshner's Rock Concert Performances from 1974 & 1975. We also can't forget 4 Roy Buchanan shows have been re-posted as well.

We also have some new stuff for you as well!

Our Jazz offerings this week come from The Pat Metheny/John Scofield Quartet, and the more Experimental Improving Jazz of The Nels Cline Singers.

Because we have 1 unconventional Jazz offering we are going to blur the lines again with the Funky, Jazzy, Soul of Tower Of Power (Rest In Peace Francis "Rocco" Prestia 1951-2020)

 Rosebud continues to pay Tribute To Her Favorite Singers by personally approving 2 Queen shows with The Legendary Freddie Mercury. One from 1981 and the other from 1988.

Since Rosebud Picked 2 Queen shows I figured I will have a running spotlight for a while featuring Progressive Rock. I am also going through a Prog Rock Phase at home making it convenient as well. This Weeks Progressive Rock offering comes from British Prog Rockers Gentle Giant. Finding one from my collection that Gentle Giant has not officially was pretty hard they have released quite a few Official Bootlegs. Check out their website for purchasing.

For Jimi Hendrix Fans we have The Ross Tapes: Tape # 6, which is like The Bob Terry Tapes.

For our Metalhead Friends (you are not forgoten) a 1985 FM Broadcast from Rough Cutt.

We are working on the Classic Rock selections from the archive now. A through c are zipped and uploaded already just waiting for me to link them!

Thank You To All Of Our Visitors!

Another great Queen & Freddie Mercury show as Rosebud salutes her favorite vocalists. This recording comes from an AM Radio station not FM so there is a sound difference. This is however a great show so don't let the AM Radio thing hold you back. The artwork included is the best I could find but rather cheap. Hopefully I will find something better in the future.

This is show in Rosebud's Salute To Her Favorite Singers is #1 for the Freddie Mercury segment. This recording from Queen's 1986 tour in support of the A Kind Of Magic album is considered to be one of the best from that tour. This is a 100% complete recording with no cuts or fade ins/fade outs. An added bonus is that "Fish", lead vocalist of Marillion, joins in on "Tutti Frutti".

When I sat with Rosebud last night to preview this recording before post, it caused a big emotional response from me. See my 5 year old Grandson lives in Japan with my daughter while her husband serves in the US Navy. I miss him terribly and will not see him for another 2 years. When Freddie sang "Is This The World We Created?" I cried. Reason being, with the way things are in my country, I think he's safest there. I don't want to turn The New JDP into a big political debate or my personal soapbox (it's my safe place) so I will just say..everyone in the world no matter their actual political view can see the US is not well. My Grandson is half way around the globe, safe. God I miss him.

Gary Green - guitar, recorder, percussion, backing vocals

This is a perfect recording to be the first Gentle Giant post on The NewJDP. This is a great sounding recording with good stereo seperation and a nice bass sound. Since Rosebud has posted 2 shows from Queen for her salute to her favorite vocalists I figured I would have a spotlight on Progressive Rock. So Gentle Giant are post 1 of that tribute.

JustDave's Notes:
All I have to say is if you loved The Bob Terry Tapes you'll love The Ross Tapes Too.

Original Uploader Notes:
"Ross was known for low gen newly circulated genuine Jimi studio jams and concerts. The songs on most of his stuff are at the right speed, it sure sounds clean, neat n complete. These pre-date DAT tape too. Anyway, Ross made a final offer one summer by providing an 11 tape series of all his studio stuff. My friend took #2, 3, 6, & 7. Shortly after buying these tapes Ross generally disappeared from the scene. These torrents are right off the raw cassettes, no altering at all."

Eddie Van Halen has lost his fight with throat cancer. He fought and defeated tongue cancer from 2000-2002. In this fight he had about a third of his tongue removed.  Doctors declared him cancer free. In 2019 we found out Eddie had been fighting throat cancer. This cancer took Eddie Van Halen on October 6, 2020, he was 65. Rest In Peace Eddie.

justdave's notes:
A nice recording of Van Hagar firing on all 4 cylinders. There is a great scene in the movie Airheads. The lead characters tried to figure out if a guy was a rock manager or cop. They asked him a few questions. One question they asked him was what side he was on in the great Van Hagar vs. David Lee Roth band debate. He answered that both had good songs. They immediately identified him as a cop telling him "wrong it's David Lee Roth." I did appreciate the Van Hagar stuff, but favored the first two Roth solo albums he made with Steve Vai. I mean after having Eddie Van Halen as lead guitarist, you had to go with Steve Vai, right? Anyway, Eddie Van Halen's guitar God status goes unquestioned - PERIOD! Granted he was playing more keyboards in the 80's, but his guitar parts are still pure Eddie. Also, you get Sammy Hagar playing lead on his solo tracks (included in the set) with Eddie joining in. That's a nice twin guitar attack!

Time For Another Update On What's Been Going On

 First I want to say that we have finished re-posting all the links for all Funk, R & B, Soul, and Rap shows. A lot of these shows have also been upgraded to lossless as well. To name some of the bands we have re-posted from those genres.. we have Al Green, Ben E. King, Billy Paul, Bobby Womack, David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, The Temptations, Graham Central Station, Bootsy Collins, Lakeside, Mandrill, Rick James, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Eminem, The Brothers Johnson, The Commodores,  The Spinners and more!!!!

Next up are some new shows as well....Rosebud's Salute To Her Favorite Vocalists brings us 2 shows from Ozzy Osbourne's solo career. I usually don't interfere in Rosebud's Picks but I said if it's going to be 2 from Ozzy it has to be 2 from his solo career and from the Jake E. Lee era. This way I can pay tribute to Jake E. Lee with 3 different boots because I wanted to share the Badlands 1989 Soundboard Collection. I also wanted to share a 1981 Kool & The Gang show from London. We also have another Marillion Pre-FM show this time from 1987 in The U.S. For my Jazz friends we have another Funky/Jazzy show from John Medeski's Mad Skillet. For a more traditional Jazz show we have the Makoto Ozone Trio.

There You have it..all the music we brought to you this time. We dare to estimate that we are very close to completing the archive rebuild. We are going to concentrate on the Blues recordings next and then the Classic Rock stuff. Any requests for a broken link to be fixed will be welcomed of course so don't be afraid to ask. We are trying to have a lasting archive of boots here so..

Thanks Again For Everything!!

Oh Yeah, Buy Speedy's Book!!!

This is a remastered version of the same show as the bootleg The Drunkin' Show. The sound of this recording is really good. Ozzy's voice sounds really good as well, seeing how drunk her is rumored to have been at this show. You can actually hear Ozzy say off mic "..I feel like I'm gonna vomit..". This really is one of the best sounding soundboard recordings from the Jake E. Lee era (there may or not be better performances). It could be a live album with it's warts and all. Myself I prefer the warts and all concept of a live album. Saying that I don't care if a band goes into the studio and polishes up a live performance for release. I do however prefer the unpolished bootleg approach. My personal favorite Classic Rock Era Live Albums are Deep Purple's Made In Japan & Grand Funk Railroad's Live Album. Neither of these live albums have overdubs, they are the only 2 that come to my mind at the time, I know there is not many. Black Sabbath's Live At Last had no overdub's (the band had no say in i's release) but I don't consider the 1980's to be Classic Rock Era (I mean some of the keyboard and drum sounds can be anoying to say the least.)
