Billy Idol Malibu Night Club, L.I.N.Y. 04-29-1982


Idol was promoting his first album, just released at the onset of the tour from which this recording was made, when he performed this show to be broadcast by WLIR for the King Biscuit Flower Hour. This show is a tour de force that includes many classic Idol songs now affiliated with his career: including “Hot In the City,” “White Wedding,” “Dancing With Myself” and “Mony Mony.”

Even though this performance was taped early on in their partnership, the magic between Idol and Stevens is clearly a strong one. He and Stevens brought the punk edge to the standard singer/guitar scenario that duos like Jagger/Richards, Bowie/Ronson and Tyler/Perry so carefully crafted; it's a relationship that is still going strong today.

For a relatively new band, the performances from this night are amazingly tight. They excel on the old Gen X song “Kiss Me Deadly,” and rock out hard on several others: including “Dead On Arrival,” “Nobody’s Business,” “It’s So Cruel,” “Ready Steady Go” and “Come On Come On.”

Brian Setzer Live From "The Knife Feels Like Justice" Tour



Brian Setzer's "The Knife Feels Like Justice" album is a criminally overlooked album. It is not a rockabilly, Straycats type record. More like Bruce or John Mellencamp. But much edgier and rockin'. I would post it but it is still available on Amazon and other places. So I will do the next best thing and offer for your listening pleasure, a live show from the tour to promote his 1st solo album.



This recording, done for the King Biscuit Flower Hour in 1986, came in conjunction with the tour to promote Setzer’s first solo album, The Knife Feels Like Justice. Musically, Setzer wanted to embrace the Americana rock scene, and emerge as a modern-day Springsteen or Mellencamp. It wasn’t meant to be, and despite the fact that Setzer had some great songs (“Maria,” which was featured in this show, was actually co-written with Steve Van Zandt from the E Street Band), radio refused to accept him outside of the Stray Cats persona. Still, Setzer gives a spirited performance here, focusing mostly on material from The Knife Feels Like Justice. “Bobby's Back,” ”Something's Wrong With My Radio,” “Breath of Life,” “Chains Around Your Heart,” “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” and the aforementioned “Maria,” are show highlights. Setzer, does, however, treat fans to a taste of his previous glory days with energized versions of “Stray Cat Strut,” and “Rock This Town.”

Bonnie Raitt Live at Montreaux DVD Audio Rip




Ripped to my hard drive a while back, here is Bonnie Raitt Live at Montreaux.
Appearing at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival in 1977, Bonnie Raitt had been supporting her release SWEET FORGIVENESS, which featured her first charting single, a cover of Del Shannon’s "Runaway", which would peak at #57 on the Billboard Pop charts.
Although it would still be 12 years before she became a national star, this 1977 show proves she was no stranger to the Blues community, pulling selections from her 6 albums at that point. This performance offers a rare glimpse at Bonnie Raitt years before she became the darling of the music industry.

Also included is a taste of her 1991 performance at the Festival, which features a performance of "Three Time Loser" from the aforementioned SWEET FORGIVENESS album, along with "Good Man, Good Woman" and "Papa Come Quick" from her 1991 effort LUCK OF THE DRAW.

Track listing:

1. Under The Falling Sky
2. Walk Out The Front Door
3. Good Enough
4. Nothing Seems To Matter
5. Love Me Like A Man
6. Give It Up, Or Let Me Go
7. Women Be Wise

Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris - Live On Soundstage




Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris - Live On Soundstage at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles

Aired last night on WHUR and ripped to my hard drive today is a pretty cool performance from Mark and Emmylou. A great venue, a great tour, two great artists and a great performance. So it was for icons Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles before a sold-out crowd. Their concert together, one of only a handful in the U.S., followed the release of All the Roadrunning, their long-awaited rootsy collaboration. That special night has been captured in this unique Soundstage episode. Highlights include the title track “All the Roadrunning,” Emmylou’s “Red Dirt Girl” and Knopfler’s “Speedway at Nazareth".

Frank Zappa, Halloween at the Palladium, NYC 10-31-1977



Recorded while promoting his Zoot Allures album, Zappa had taken to the road with a band that can only be regarded as an all-star line up. Nearly every musician who had a tenure with Zappa went on to remarkable musical careers, and these men are no exception. Guitarist Adrian Belew would join Talking Heads, King Crimson, and eventually launched a successful solo career. Bassist Patrick O’Hearn and drummer Terry Bozzio would later spearhead the alternative act, Missing Persons, with wife Dale; and keyboardist Peter Wolf (not the J. Geils Band vocalist) eventually became one of the most successful producers of the 1980s, scoring chart hits for Starship, Lou Gramm, Big Country, and many others.

Patty Smyth: Never Enough Vinyl LP Rip



This is a rip of my vinyl copy of Patty Smyth's LP "Never Enough".
It's as good as any Scandal release in my opinion.
I tossed in a couple of bonus tracks not shown here.



1. Never Enough
2. Downtown Train
3. Give It Time
4. Call to Heaven
5. River Cried
6. Isn't It Enough
7. Sue Lee
8. Tough Love
9. Heartache Heard Round the World

Nice Amazon Contributer Review:
By Daniel J. Hamlow (Chikusei City, Japan)

It seems unjust that Rob Hyman and Eric Bazilian of the Hooters musically made their best mark with only their first album. The artists they wrote for and produced albums for seemed to do better. One artist they propped up was Patty Smyth, best known as the voice of Scandal--("The Warrior", "Beat Of A Heart"), and although it didn't do well, I consider Never Enough to be one of the best albums of the 1980's.
For the most part, Never Enough expands on Scandal's sound to a wall of rock guitar with the usual 80's-accompanied keyboards. Smyth's edgey, robust voice is easily demonstrated on the rocking title track. A girl meets the man of her dreams, and that promise in the dark they made together ends up being lost in the storm forever, to paraphrase. She learns the cost of freedom, which becomes a secret the man shared to something we all can share. Easily the best track here.

Her cover of Tom Waits' "Downtown Train" betters Rod Stewart's 1991 version. It matches her persona, pretty but not in an artificial model-glamorous sort of way, street-smart, wearing a leather jacket and mini, tough but loyal. When she mentions the line about Brooklyn girls being thorns without the rose, and she says, "Oh if I was the one/you chose to be your only one" it reminds me of tomboy Mary Stuart Masterson telling Eric Stoltz about Lea Thompson in Some Kind Of Wonderful. David Sanborn has a nice and all-too brief sax solo.

"Call To Heaven" is a sobering rock ballad of a soldier at war who captured by enemies and executed by firing squad, exploring the minds of both sides. The guitars and Patty's vocals go up a notch from this verse on: "Gather 'round reluctant marksmen/One of them to take his life/With a smile he gives them pardon/Leaves the dark and takes the light." The chorus goes "What a night though it's one of seven/What a night for the dancing dead/What a night to be called to heaven/What a picture to fill your head." The second best track.

Ace songwriters Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly contribute the heartbreaking but winning "The River Cried." Why? "The river cried for my lonely soul/You were the only one who really knew me/And hearing this, the river cried." Another poignant line: "Waiting for you to return my sigh."

"Isn't It Enough" is a note of advise that "I fit you like a worn-out glove" so be content of the title concept. "I'll satisfy your fire but I'm not made of stone" gives her a tough but vulnerable quality.

The quick-paced "Sue Lee" co-penned by Rick Chertoff, could've been covered by Journey. The title girl seems to be a refugee living in poverty. However, the lines "She smiles when she looks at the world around/With her high-top sneakers and her hard-rock sound" might fit Smyth as well.

"Tough Love" is a hard-driving number on fighting the competitive battlezone of those mean streets. "Heartache Heard Round The World" is co-written by Hyman, Bazilian, Chertoff, and Smyth, and the effort shows. When she sings "I'm no angel, but I'm not so tough" reinforces that vulnerable side of her that makes her more human. The title is the sound that knocks her down, and her wish is more than fulfilled when she says "I wanna be a rock and roll girl."

Smyth gets quality help here. Not only do Hyman and Bazilian do backing vocals but so do Rory Dodd of Meat Loaf fame and Rick Chertoff, the producer of Cyndi Lauper's She's So Unusual. Never Enough is one of those one-of-a-kind albums whose true appreciation was, well, never enough

Laughing Colors: The Pattern Seed




The Pattern Seed features many LC listeners’ favorite songs. Highlight tracks include “Wrinkle”, “Sense”, and “Big One, Small One”. “Wrinkle” is featured on the HFS New Rock Sampler, and is the first and only track by an unsigned band to be included on the compilation. “Wrinkle” was also voted “Song of the Year” by Music Monthly. “Jigsaw” is the theme music for the Maryland Wrestling Association, and has been featured in televised extreme sporting events. According to LC frontman Dave Tieff, “this album is based on the idea that everyone has a way of going about their dailylives. Most people start out the same way, but then they evolve… It’s not a concept album, but there is definitely a thread running through the lyrics and songs.”

“The Pattern Seed is a sonic triumph for one of the region’s most talented and amazingly, unsigned outfits! Labels, are you listening?” Music Monthly

“An exceptionally written and recorded effort”. Larry Nichols, Baltimore City Paper

“The song “Wrinkle” and it’s rock video seem 100% compatible with any of the modern rock that has made a splash on MTV”. Unsung Hero

Laughing Colors: Depth



This eight-song EP propelled LC to national recognition, and is still one of LC’s top selling albums. This album contains eight tracks, including three LIVE tracks. It features the single “Solution”, which play listed on Baltimore’s 98Rock (WIYY), for over 3 months, receiving 25+ spins per week. It was a top requested song in nightly countdowns, and received airplay on numerous other commercial and college stations throughout the US. The attention that “Solution” garnered through airplay and features in numerous television and sports productions is normally unheard of for an unsigned band. From the ‘stuck in your head’ melodies of “Solution” and “I”, to the more aggressive unbridled riffs and rhythm of “Mushroom”, this album is a testament to LC’s cutting edge style.

What This Is All About

I've been collecting live music from various sources since the mid to late 70's. Radio shows, TV broadcasts, radio show pre-FM CD's and vinyl LP's and some trades. Most of the shows posted here, I recorded and ripped myself. I always had top of the line stereo equipment and cassette and open reel recorders for those on air broadcasts.

I've downloaded plenty of bootlegged concerts from various blogs. As a rule I will only post stuff from my collection and not what is already available out there.

I also post out of print CDs and LPs from my collection.
I will repost from my readers anything someone sends me as long as it is either out of print or something that's not from someone else's blog. If you want to share a link for a cool item on your blog, or someone else's, please feel free to post it in the comments........

Enjoy and please leave a comment and pass this blog along.

Can you believe that so many out there are starving for the old WHFS? Amazing!

If you leave a comment, how about using a nickname instead of Anonymous. At least make up something please. Thanks!

I have reconsidered my position...and will re-upload dead links, so long as you go to that particular post and make the request from the comments page...
