It features the Late Great Randy Rhoads!
Recorded Live in Cleveland (The Place That Rocks!) back in '81
It also goes by: Bat Head '81...Probably some Other titles as well!
The Sound Quality Is Super, Except Suicide Solution, which sounds Like It's from some Other Source...Then There's an Interview with The Oz Man...

Great FM Radio Broadcast Recording Of Iron Maiden from '87!
Some Folks Didn't Like The Fact (Back Then) They Were Slightly Expanding Their Sound a Little, And Still Others Did...Count Me As DID!

This FM from The Spectrum in Philadelphia, PA Is A Great Testament To The Power And Awesomeness Of Iron Maiden...(Still All That Bein' Said - The Early Days With Paul Di'anno Are STILL My Very Favorite Maiden Period Of ALL!)
But, Hell This Is Good Stuff, Too!

Here's a Great Sounding AUD Recording Of Saxon!
That Last Post By smoker, made me want to post this one!
Seeing those pictures and remembering how they sounded the very first time I heard Them!
Brought Back Some Great Memories...
'Course on this Side Of The Big Water, We Had To Pay Import Prices For Some of Those Records, But Wheels Of Steel, Strong Arm Of The Law & Denim & Leather Were Worth Every Damn Penny!

Just in case you're NOT convinced by this post, OR if you just wanna give it a peek to see if you wanna D/L the Whole Thing - Here's a Sample:
03 PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT.mp3
http://www.mediafire.com/?016yb9pupnu8m3d

It's far from perfect, BUT it IS a really Good AUD Recording from the '84 World Crusade Tour!
Their 1st Headlining Tour In America!
Recorded Live in Phoenix, Arizona - It's a Nice Document of that Time in their Career!
The Crowd Does their Part, When They're Supposed to, (Like when Biff asks If There's any Disco Fans in the House...) But While the Music's Playin' (which is nice & balanced - Everything Comin' Through Loud & Clear!) The Crowd Noise Is Not really a Factor! Some Of The Cuts Between Songs Could Also Be a Little Better - BUT, It IS a Bootleg After All!
You Can't Have Everything!
I Personally Loved It!

Aerosmith from the PUMP Tour.
The first words out of Steven Tyler's mouth
"Hello Philly".So I guess it's not Boston as it says on the cover!
Did a little searching and it's most probably from The Philadelphia Spectrum 21 Jan. 1990.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Pump was the last good Aero album.
The last one I can listen to all the way through as well.
I'm really hoping this new album they're working on is going to be a cracker.
Fingers crossed.
Ripped from my silver cd,great performance,great sound but also incomplete...enjoy.

After my recent Nazareth post,the East End Park one.The mention of Fish on Faith Healer reminded me of this from one of Kevin's tapes.Thanks Kev.
The Party Boys.
Members of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band featuring guest vocalists.
Such as Dan McCafferty and the aforementioned Fish.
I think there was meant to be a tribute album out of this but I don't know if this ever happened.
If anybody out there has more info on this let us know.

Here'a a double shot sent in by, you guessed it...Buckeye.

"Here's a couple of solo shows from two members of Rockpile. First up is Nick Lowe,
recorded live at The Ritz in New York City on October 19, 1995 on
WNEW-FM. Really cool show which features Paul Carrack on "How Long".
Check out the setlist and
I bet you'll say "I didn't know he wrote that". Second is a Dave Edmunds show from Slim's in San Francisco, October 23, 1995.
Great sounding show broadcast on KFOG-FM."
Thanks Buckeye.
Quality Rock 'n' Roll, grab yourself a slice.

It's an Early One, an AUD Recording, But Pretty Damn Good For So Long Ago!
It's Definitely Worth a Listen 'Cause It Features Songs From The 1st LP and The 2nd One: Tyranny and Mvtation!
The Band Is in Top Form, As To Be Expected...
Check Out The Setlist and Decide IF This One's For You!

2012-02-04T00:52:00.013-05:00

Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) Mixed Chuck Berry Riffs With Classical Music Like Tchaikovsky... (No Wonder Marc Bolan & Jeff Lynne were Friends)
This is an Early Recording Of The Band - '74!

From Wiki:

"Ma-Ma-Ma Belle" is a song recorded by the Electric Light Orchestra.

It was taken from the 1973 album On the Third Day. In the UK, the single version had a slightly different mix from the album original featuring a descending string crescendo and was edited in length. Marc Bolan plays twin lead guitar on the track alongside his friend Jeff Lynne, the pair had previously played on Bolan's T. Rex hit Solid Gold Easy Action."

Sound Quality IS Excellent!
But, I Don't Believe It's Totally Live, In Front Of a Large Audience...Sounds Like a BBC Sessions Recording, Except That Some Fake Crowd Noise Is added at the Beginning and End of Each Song...Kinda like those Old Don Kirshner Rock Concert Shows, 'Cause The Audience Noise Quiets Down During the Actual Songs!
The Back Cover Artwork IS No Help In Identifying This Recording's Origin, Either...
Oh Well, Make Of It What You Will...

After That Things Seemed to Go Downhill for Me Anyway...TOO Much McDonald Is NOT a Good Thing!
The Doobies Had a Unique Good Time Rockin' Sound Back In The 70s - Including 2 Drummers!
Short Interviews are Mixed in with the Music on This Soundstage Show From Chicago...
The Sound Quality's Great & The Performance Superb!

2012-02-02T20:37:00.011-05:00

Couple Max Webster Concerts!
Both, Of Course, Feature Kim Mitchell (Oh He Of The Lanky Frame And Killer Guitar Skills!)...
This First One's From Back in 1980!
Live From The Roxy Up In The Great White North - Canada, Where The Band's From...
To Be Specific It Was Recorded For The Radio At a Place Called Barrie, Ontario...

Nice FM Radio Broadcast Recording! (Check Out That Outfit Kim's Wearin' - Are Those Pajamas?) Wouldn't Surprise Me Much...
Kim Is a Unique Individual To Say The Least, And Max Webster's (Where'd That Name Come From, Anyway?) Music Is Also...
Probably Mostly Falls Under The Prog Rock Banner, But NOT Always...
IF You're Lookin' To Hear Somethin' Rockin' BUT Different At The Same Time - You Can't Go Wrong Here!

Nice FM Radio Broadcast Recording Of a One-Of-A-Kind Event!
Recorded at The Docks (Whatever That Is?) in Toronto...
Kim Mitchell May Have Lost Some Hair, BUT Not One Bit Of His Guitar Abilities!
Absolute Killer Setlist & Performance!

2012-02-01T18:54:00.006-05:00

MADPRIEST Sent This One In!
Excellent Sound Quality!
A FM Radio Broadcast, I Believe!

This Is a Band I Personally Never Got Into (For Some Reason - Not Sure Why?)
But, This Thing Rocks!
And, They Too, Don't Take Themselves Too Seriously...
They Know How To Write & Perform A Song That Plays On Words And Such - See "Love On The Rocks With No Ice."
MADPRIEST Had This To Say About It,
"This is from The Darkness- From their first album (Permission to Land) tour, Recorded Live At Slim's, San Francisco, California on Friday, November 21, 2003.
The back says that its a promotional album, I don't know but it's a great show with a great sound quality and the band playing great.

I hope you enjoy it as I did!"

Slade Were Just a Damn FUN Band, Now Weren't They?
I Mean, They Didn't Take Themselves Too Seriously, While Seriously Rockin' Out Loud!
They Weren't Out To Change The World Or Comment On Current Events...They Just Cranked Out Some Crazy, Cool Songs!
This First Bootleg Was Recorded By The BBC I Believe, So The Sound Quality's Up There!

NOTE: Apparently This One's The 2nd Part Of a New 2 CD Set Release: Live At The BBC

This 2nd Bootleg Is ANOTHER Good One!
IF You Wanna Get Away From All The Serious Bullshit The World Throws You, Put On Some Headphones And Get Into This One For Just a While...You'll Feel A Whole Lot Better!

http://www.mediafire.com/?mo92zgakbc6z3r3

Now, This Discussion Has Come Up Numerous Times On The Shout-Box (When We Could Dependably Use It Without Stupid Grade School Shit Interferin'...)
Is This Or Is This NOT Slade, Without Noddy Holder?

Are There Some Members That Just CAN NOT Be Replaced And The Band Go On?
YES! I Believe The Correct Answer Was Most Of The Time...
Example: QUEEN - Freddie Mercury Was Too Valuable (And Nothing Against Paul Rodgers - But Damn That Was A Bad Idea From The Git-Go!)
Also, Thin Lizzy, But I Won't Go There...

Are There Members That CAN BE Replaced and The Band Go On?
YES, Again Should Be The Answer - Many Bands Have Replaced Certain Members And Not Much Is Ever Said...
Example: Def Leppard - They Had Way More Success Without One Pete Willis...
And ALL The Bands In The World That Have Had About A Thousand Drummers...

Anyway, IF You Want To Hear What This Version Of Slade Sounds Like, Then Get This Good AUD Recording...Can YOU Be Open-Minded Enough To Give It A Listen OR Should You Just Listen To The Old Ones And Forget This Even Exists?

Your Choice 2 Do As You Pleeze!

Surely one of the best on the road songs ever written.Up there with Turn The Page imo.
Also a cover of the Alex Harvey song, Faith Healer, to finish off.

Now I'm not much of a Proggie but I really enjoyed this.
Guess it makes a change listening to something you wouldn't usually listen to.
I guess you can't Rock n Roll All Nite And Party Every Day all the time.
But we can try,oh yes we can try.

2012-01-28T16:13:00.000-05:00

Kiss boxset from The Godfather Records.
Six classic bootlegs in fantastic packaging.
Three double cd's in triple gatefold sleeves.
This takes me back to the Kiss boots I used to buy on tape w/photocopied covers.I thought they were the coolest things ever.
So here's the first double for ya!!
Fried Alive & Second Kiss In Long Beach.Every Kiss fan will have these but...they also all contain bonus tracks.
They vary in quality but a nice touch indeed.
Maybe KISS should think about opening up their vaults and releasing some of this stuff?I'd prefer this stuff to a Hello Kitty comb,a Mr. Potatohead or a Gene, My Little Pony!
Or maybe that's just me?

Try To Catch The Rainbow!

2012-01-28T08:11:00.000-05:00

This IS a Great AUD Recording Of CLASSIC Rainbow!
Live from Japan in 1976!
Back When Tony Carey Was Still in the Band...
Back When BOTH Cozy & Ronnie Were Still Alive!
HELL, Back When There WAS a Rainbow!
The Performance Is Fire Captured As Sound!
The Sound Quality IS Great For An AUD Recording...
And, This Got Me To Thinkin': I NEVER Have Really Stated Out Loud And All My Grading /Rating System (As It Is...).
Most Places Use Letters Like A School Report Card: A+ and All That, AND Some Sites Use Numbers: 8.5/10 And Such...
ME, I Just Figured It Was Easier To DESCRIBE The Sound I'm Hearin' (Which Is STILL Just As Subjective As Anything Else, I Guess...)
So Anyway - IF I Was To Write It Out, It Would Look Somethin' Like THIS:
EXCELLENT - Just What It SAYS - Top Notch, Stellar, Awesome - Hardly, Anyone Would Argue It's Sound Quality OR Record Labels Could Release Tomorrow With Little To No Effort...
What I Call "The Damn Near-Perfect Bootleg!"
GREAT - Just Under The Wire Of Excellent - Some Minor Flaws Hold It Back, Etc.
REALLY GOOD - A Notch Below Great - Too Many Minor Flaws Or Even A Major One Or Two...
DECENT - Listenable & Even Enjoyable, BUT Probably NOT a Keeper, EXCEPT to Collectors Of That Particular Group, Etc.
GOOD - Listenable, But Just Barely...
FAIR - Awful, Terrible - Somethin' You Don't Want!
The Biggest Problem With THIS Bootleg IS:
It's Tracked Into Too Many Files (21 on CD 1 Alone!)
FLAC Would Be Much Better For All Those Transitions, So IF You Find It, Grab It!
The Band's Performance More Than Makes Up For Any Sound Quality Issues...

Billy Squier, Esq...

2012-01-28T08:09:00.000-05:00

NOTE: This IS a Re-Post With a NEW LINK By Rich (THANKS!)
This Is a Fairly Early one - 1981 - in Squier's career!
He was still doing songs from Tale Of The Tape, Much to my Pleasure...
It was One Of Those Records You Could Play Side 1 - Listen, Play Side 2 - Listen, Repeat As Often As Possible!

He was touring in support of his LP Don't Say No!
I believe this was right before The Stroke Hit BIG!

From Wiki: Perhaps his most enduringly popular song, this was Squier's first single, reaching #17 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It was an even bigger hit at rock radio, hitting #3 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Squier's song even dented the British pop charts, rising to #52. It was named the 59^th best hard rock song of all time by VH1.

The song is a reference to the music industry and how musicians are used by an industry wanting more and bigger hits, and the concept of "strokes" from transactional analysis. It is not, as was widely but erroneously believed, about masturbation.

Excellent FM Broadcast from San Fran!
Billy goes back and forth between LPs easily during The Show...
You Should Be High is Billy's Tribute to Led Zep...
And with The Big Beat From The Late Great
Bobby Chouinard (June 26th 1953 - March 8th 1997),
It Simply Sounds Awesome!

NOTE: This IS a Re-Post...

Here's Somethin' You Just Don't See (OR Hear!) That Often!
It's Bernie Tormé From Reading '82!
It's a FM Radio Broadcast, BUT...
There's Just NOT That Many Tormé Boots Flyin' Around...
So, I'll Say This IS a GOOD FM - Because...
There's an Underlying Static Buried Deep In The Background, As IF The Radio Wasn't Quite Tuned In Properly - You Really Feel It More Than Hear It...
The Music's Still Way Out Front, And Bernie's Guitar Cuts Through Everything In The Distance Anyway, BUT, Still It's There...
IF That Wasn't There It Would Be Excellent...
But Still, All That Said I Thoroughly Enjoyed The Performance, Especially His Take On Wild Thing As the Closer...

Guitar Héro!

2012-01-28T01:07:00.001-05:00

NOTE: This IS a Re-Post...

Bernie Tormé Is Probably BEST Known For His Guitar Work With GILLAN...
But, Back In The '80s, He Put Together a Band Called The Electric Gypsies!
AND, He Toured, As The Replacement (NOTE: NOT The Right Word I'm Lookin' For, BUT, You KNOW What I Mean...) For Randy Rhodes (Briefly) Before Brad Gillis Took Over on OZZY's Diary Of A MadMan Tour!

Recorded By The BBC for Their IN CONCERT Series...
This Is a FM Radio Broadcast!
Live From London's Paris Theatre - 1982.
The Electric Gypsies Were a Three (3) Piece Band (Counting Bernie!) And They Remind Me Of The Kinda Music The Jon Butcher Axis Was Makin' Around The Same Time...
Strong Guitar Blues-Based Rock!
Also, Has Great Vocals And Songs - NOT Just Excuses for Guitar Solos, BUT "Real" Songs!
Short But Very Strong Set!
Big THANKS To PE_35 for Postin' This Show @ G101...All I Did Was Put Together The Artwork...

MARK REALE
(June 7th, 1955 - January 25th, 2012)

I Just Logged on and Learned about Mark's Death...
I Was Shocked To Say The Least...
I LOVED Riot's First Several Albums...
Whichever Singer, Mark Was ALWAYS Right There Among All The Line-Up Changes...He WAS The ONE Constant, And You Gotta Really Respect a Guy Who NEVER Gives In Or Gives Up!
He WAS Riot, After All!
Thank You Mark and ALL Associated With The Band Over The Years - YOU Have Improved MY Life Through Music!
Right NOW - I'm Gonna Go Put On Narita Or Fire Down Under!

The community spirit here at HRC is amazing.Here's more from Buckeye.
Really cool this,Whitesnake tour rehearsals.I love this stuff.
Maybe when record companies and bands realise this is what the fans want (after we've bought all the official stuff) they can stop moaning.Over to you Buck.
"Recorded at an unknown location on an unknown date. All I know is that it's an EXCELLENT soundboard from 1982."
Buck's sending in so much stuff I haven't got time for my own.

Cheers Bro!

Another set sent in by Buckeye.
He's spoiling us with UFO here at HRC.
He's added his own artwork too.
Here he is...
"Another one from UFO (I love this band!!!!).(SO DO WE)
Live in Birmingham, January 26, 1981. Yet another of those "was it recorded on a cheap recorder & cassette,
or a really hi-gen soundboard" shows. This show cooks, because it features Paul "Tonka" Chapman on guitar!
Man, could that guy tear it up in the day or what! I did the artwork myself a few years back, so if it sucks,
don't blame Rocket or Smoker."
Well another great show,Thanks Buck.

Alright, due to overwhelming demand here's the last two of the Classic Album series.I've had tweets,emails,harassed on facebook,and even people at my door begging for more of this stuff.
Or I could've just made all that up and I just wanna SHARE!!!
First up, one of the best selling albums of all time.
Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd.
Or if you're quite relaxed, Dark Side by The Floyd, Maaannnn...

Night Of The Wolf...

2012-01-25T13:42:00.000-05:00

Here's another excellent upload sent in by Buckeye.
When their 1st album came out they were slated as a Led Zep rip off.Even called Kingdom Clone.
I remember reading that
Lenny Wolf denied even having heard of Zep.
Personally I think this was just the famous German humour we hear so much about!!
Here's Buck..."Here's a band I've never seen on HRC
- Kingdom Come. Even though their popularity in
the States isn't what it used to be (they were hot in '88),
they still seem to be pretty big in Europe. This one's an
FM broadcast from Swiss (or is it Suisse?) radio,
so the sound quality is damn good."
Quality Hard Rock.

Studio Recordings From Tom Petty's Band Before He Became THE Tom Petty...Mudcrutch!
Also, Supposed to be some 1st Solo LP Outtakes as well, But Really Couldn't Tell You Which Is Which!

If You're a Petty Fan - You'll Want This!
Overall - Real Good Sound Quality (1 or 2 Not Quite Up To The Overall Standards) But, It's Just Interestin' To Hear The Man At Such an Early Time In His Long & Successful Career...

No, NOT This TELEVISION Featured Here...
But, You Know TV...
Too Many Reality (Yeah Right?) Shows Is ALL That Seems to be on...
And, To ME, They're ALL Boring!
Maybe It's JUST Me? Don't Know - But, I Don't Watch Much Television, BUT, I WILL Listen To Them...

Nice SBD Recording (Although The First Song The Vocals are a Little Low, But That Gets Fixed By The Sound Guy, I Reckon, Rather Quickly...) From Tom Verlaine (Oh He Of The Plexiglass Guitar) And Crew!
Is It Punk? Rock? New Wave? Rock & Roll? - It's ALL That And More! Plus Some Cool Covers!
Here, on these 2 Discs, you get a Show and a Half...
The Main Attraction Is The Dec. 29th Concert And Then Some More Songs From Another Dec. '76 Show As Well!
NOTE: We're Tryin' Different File Hosts While Things Are In Turmoil, after the MU Deal...AND, Now It Seems Filesonic Is ONLY Open for Their Registered Users:

This one I upped to Mediafire, And Will Still Be Using Multiupload As Well (Probably)...

Tape Rip.
Nice compilation from back in the 80's.
Various bands from various venues in Glasgow as captured by Radio Clyde.
Now I don't know what's up with Tom Russell while introducing these tracks.
He's a bit shouty to say the least.
Maybe he was forced to do some overtime.Maybe he was in a hurry to get to the pub? I dunno...
So, from Marillion to Whitesnake have a Rockin' Time!!
Thanks to Kevin for the tape.

Title post translation = Yes,More Nazareth...
Very short but very sweet (audio) performance from Nazareth.
In front of a studio audience.Don't know too much about this TV programme.Seems it was a different artist every week shown on Scottish television.
Funnily enough this is introduced by Jay Crawford.Who did a Rock Show on Radio Forth (Edinburgh) back in the 80's.Somebody else I grew up listening to.He went on to become a big player in radio land.
Just read recently he is unwell.So get well soon man.
And thanks for not playing Kiss when I wrote in to the show...no hard feelings! LOL.

Poppy is Close to 14:00 Minutes Long...As Is Strange Universe!

This time Beggar's Banquet by The Rolling Stones.
Another show broadcast on BBC Radio 6.Just to let you know these shows were broadcast years ago, probably on BBC Radio 1 or 2.They were rebroadcast,I think, last year when I grabbed them.
Anyhoo...Keef Richards gives you all the info you need on the making of the album.

2012-01-19T14:13:00.005-05:00

Here's another upload sent in by Buckeye.The Man's on fire!
I'll let him tell you what it's all about.

"Since there seems to be a flood of Seger boots
on HRC (one from '73, and another from his most recent
tour), here's one from about the middle of that road. Recorded
in Providence, RI March 2, 1996, it's a great sounding
audience recording from when Bob was starting to get
burned out a bit ( IMO). But don't worry - you get all
the good stuff here from his career. It's a two disc set,
but all are included in one file".
Another cracking show.
All I had to do was make some artwork for this baby.
I also evened up the cd's so they're pretty much equal length.
Thanks Buck.

2012-01-18T17:40:00.002-05:00

Here's another vintage Friday Rock Show for you.
This one dated 3rd July 1987.
The show features live sets from Wasp,Warlock & Saxon.
All originally from 1986 I believe.So...once again, relive your youth
or check out what UK Rockers were listening to back then.

NOTE: I Love The Fact That WE at HRC CAN Give TWO Perspectives on Rock Music! From The U.S. and the U.K.
I, Personally, Never heard the Friday Rock Shows That smoker & others heard, except for NOW in these Awesome Recordings - I DID have a great Rock Station in S.C. (Z96) + a Cool College Station (University Of South Carolina) to Listen to...Rocket

Here's a Band I'd Heard Of, BUT Never Heard!
They fall Squarely in the Category of AOR - Along the lines of Giuffria... In Fact It's Rumored That Gregg Had a Hand in Producing Some Of Their Music Including These 3rd Album Demos, Which are Unreleased!
You Can Get To Their Website By CLICKin' The Photo Below:

On Their Web Pages You Can Learn About Their Past:
During the heyday of early 80's "Hollywood Hair Metal", there was a core group of bands destined to become the next big rock and roll heavyweights. Mötley Crüe, Ratt, and Great White, you probably already are familiar with... but there was another group. One that some of these bands even opened for a few times.
That group was ... WHITE SISTER
Internal problems and fate would eventually tear the band apart shortly after they were signed by EMI America in 1984. Despite it all, White Sister managed to attain a legendary cult status that has not faded to this day.
As Well As Their Future Plans...
6 (Six) Studio Quality Tracks of Quality AOR!

Down For The Count...

2012-01-18T06:30:00.007-05:00

This is a Great FM Radio Broadcast Recording from the King Biscuit Flower Hour - Live from The Agora Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio!
It's Franke & The Knockouts (Pre-"the Hitman" Tico Torres {Bon Jovi}) I Believe He Joined The Following Year...
They Were a Pop/Rock Outfit:
From http://www.frankeandtheknockouts.com/
Franke Previte was born in New Brunswick, N.J.
In the early ‘80s, Franke decided to combine his rock and R&B roots for some blue-eyed soul-style rock ‘n’ roll, and started Franke & the Knockouts. The band was signed to Millenium Records (RCA), and its first hit single, SWEETHEART, reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1981. YOU’RE MY GIRL and WITHOUT YOU (NOT ANOTHER LONELY NIGHT) quickly followed, topping the charts at #14 and #16 respectively.

When the president of the label, Jimmy Ienner, decided to close his label in 1985, Franke & the Knockout were sold to MCA, which released the band’s third and final album, Makin the Point.

Late in 1986, Franke was contacted by the same Jimmy Ienner to write a song for a little movie called DIRTY DANCING, and so the song (I’VE HAD) THE TIME OF MY LIFE was written. Franke’s other DIRTY DANCING hit, HUNGRY EYES, originally had been on Previte's demo reel as a new Franke & the Knockouts track while he was shopping for a new record deal for the band. “Hungry Eyes” found its home in DIRTY DANCING, and became Franke’s second smash hit for the film. The song “(I've) Had The Time Of My Life” earned Previte an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Grammy nomination."

Short, But Great, Set of Power Pop Goodness!

Everyone Remember the Movie: Eddie and the Cruisers...
From IMdb:
"Maggie Foley is a reporter who's interviewing the surviving members of a rock band whose music is being revived. Memories of the band's leader Eddie Wilson are being relived as Frank Ridgeway is reunited with the old members of the band. As the memories are relived on the screen, it becomes clear that someone is looking for the lost unpublished tapes of the band's final recording and that someone might be Eddie! "
Well, John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band Supplied the Music, Playing the part of the mysterious rock band in the flick...

On The Dark Side was a Big Radio Hit For Them...(always reminded me of Springsteen...)
So, IF you like your Rock & Roll With That Heartland-Working-Class-Small-Town-Bar-Band Sound (Sax and All!) Like "The Boss" and Southside Johnny, The Michael Stanley Band, Then, These Guys are for YOU!
Excellent FM Radio Recording from 1986...Recorded Live on the Southern Illinois University Campus in Carbondale, Illinois!

Another Great Rose Tattoo, IF You Don't Have It - Grab It NOW!
This Show "Commodore 78" reminded me of How Far we've Come in the Computer Dept.

Instantly it reminded me of the old Commodore 64 - With a Whopping 64 KB Memory..."Who would ever need more?"
And Did You KNOW: They Are Still In Business with a NEW "Old" Model?

NOT sure about this computer mag? What it is They were Tryin' to Get Across OR Just Sell Some Mags Based on the Front Cover?
Just thought it was weird & interesting!

Also, While We're At It, some of you may remember the TANDY line of computers sold through Radio Shack...

Check that setlist out! DAMN!
The Tats do many songs you'd expect, and a few you might not, BUT, they give them ALL the Rose Tattoo Stamp of Excellence!

Here's a nice UFO show sent in by Buckeye.This is what he has to say about it.
"Haven't seen alot of UFO boots pop up around HRC lately, so here's one from Fresno, CA 4/15/80.Either a crappy FM recording (you know, like on one of those cheapo recorders -w- a cheapo tape) or a really good audience recording (using good equipment with a good tape). Nice sound either way, so enjoy this gem of a show from the No Where To Run tour."

Not the classic line-up, but the Menneniketi/Kennemore/DeGrasso/Burns line-up. They still kick ass,
even though it's in a smaller venue (where, I don't know).
All I know it's from San RaFael, CA 3-8-98,
touring behind the Endangered Species disc."

Hometown Heroes...

2012-01-15T12:37:00.002-05:00

Well last night was a trip out to see Nazareth play a charity gig in their hometown.Dunfermline,Scotland.We had to travel over the water and into enemy territory.(It's a football thing) if you're into football.
Me,Brian & Beastie officially known as "The Rock Club".Also Beastie's mate Big Dave (guitar and getting trucks stuck under bridges) along with Brian's son, up and coming Rock vocalist,Young Scott.
So off we headed to see Scotland's best and most legendary Rock Band about 30 mins from home,so that was cool.
This is a Hear Rock City exclusive as this is my recording of the show.
It's for all the Naz fans here and for anybody who's into quality Rock music.
I'm happy with the recording I think it turned out great.I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Finally had the settings set correctly.(you should always read the manual!!)
This will not be posted anywhere else so if somebody takes it and posts it on another site give us a namecheck.
This is the mp3 version I will post it in flac later in the week.
Enjoy and Keep Rockin'!!

Chatbox

2012-01-15T12:14:00.000-05:00

As you know we have gotten some nasty comments on the chatbox.
We have an idea of who it is.
The person or persons are well known for this type of thing.
They go from site to site annoying people and winding them up.
Any sites they have been a part of have contained nothing but drama.
They've also been booted from numerous sites.The best thing to do is just ignore it and don't reply
until Rocket can boot them from chat or disable it for a while.
There is no need for anybody to leave the site because of this.
We all love HRC and nobody is going to spoil it for us.

2012-01-13T15:57:00.001-05:00

Another classic album another BBC radio 6 broadcast.
Hear the story of this album as told by Tom himself.
Record company troubles, courtroom dramas all add up to help make this a great album.
If anybody has the chance seek out the "Running Down A Dream" film by Peter Bogdanovich.One of the greatest music doc's ever made.

Eric And Albert...

2012-01-13T14:02:00.001-05:00

Tape Rip.
BBC Radio 1 Broadcast.
Eric Clapton & orchestra live at The Royal Albert Hall back in 1990.
This was the last show of his series of gigs there.
Listening to this it's missing the second part of the show.Which was a couple of specially written pieces for guitar and orchestra.
Anyway...what is here is rather fine.
Clapton playing perfectly as usual and nicely augmented by the orchestra.
I know a few bands have done the orchestral thing now but I guess it was pretty new back then?
Thanks to Kevin for the tape.

Here's one Buckeye sent in and this is what he had to say about it,
"Excellent sounding double set from Y&T kicking ass at the TT Festival (I believe), June 24, 2009. It's an audience recording but it's EXCELLENT sounding! The band touch on damn near every disc they've ever done, including Down For The Count and Ten. Did I mention this was excellent sounding?"
He's right, this is one of those powerful audience recordings you don't come across too often.
Dave's feeling a little under the weather at this show.You wouldn't know it tho' as he still Rocks to the max!
Thanks to whoever recorded and shared this one,it's great.Thanks Buck.

Vinyl Rip.
Some 80's Glam for you here.I bought this album when it came out back in '85.I mean,look at the cover why wouldn't I...!!
This is darker and heavier than what most Hair/Glam Metal bands were doing.
I was looking for this on cd to buy but it seems to be rarer than a Hard Rockin' Bon Jovi album these days.
It has been released on cd w/bonus tracks but I can't find it.
So here it is, another could've should've made it band.
This album doesn't feature track 4 "On The Run".
Roadrunner label 1985.

Cool little mini album from 1984 on the Ultra Noise label.
Don't know too much about these guys (and girl).

Unfortunately he died in a motorcycle accident in 1999.
So,enjoy this little slice of Space Metal? see you on the other side.

Here's an album I really like.Some cool stuff from Ike & Tina Turner.It's got a bit of everything as the post title suggests.Sounds to me like Mother's Finest would've been influenced by this kind of record.
Mixin' Soul with Rock etc.
There's some big hits on here & some cool cover versions.
If you're not jumping around to "Baby Get It On" you haven't got dancing feet at the end of your legs!!Compilation is from 1984 and is on the Stateside label.

"Radio broadcast of Lynyrd Skynyrd from their grand opening of the Beer & BBQ in Las Vegas, NV, December 8, 2011. Small crowd (only 300 were invited), so it's a pretty intimate show."
Excellent stuff from the legendary Skynyrd.
Thanks Buckeye.

Say He's A One Trick Pony (But, Damned If He Didn't Ride That Horse All The Way To The Bank And Into Rock N Roll History, When We Wasn't Drivin' Into Town In a Big, Long Cadillac, That Is...) Call Him a Tax Evader (Yep, He Even Pleaded Guilty to That One!) Call Him A Junkie & Pervert (And Those Titles Have Fit Him, As Well...) BUT, Don't Forget to Call Him One Of The Greatest Rock Innovators Ever, While You're Talkin' About Chuck!
Probably One Of The Saddest, Most Unbelievable Things To Happen To Chuck Berry Over The Years Is The Fact That He Had ONLY 1(One) Single to Hit The Number One (1) Spot on The Charts - And That That Record WAS - My Ding-A-Ling!

Here's a Great Soundin' Show From The BBC!
It was Recorded Back in '72 in London As a TV Broadcast...
So The Sound Quality's Great, And Surprisingly The Is Pretty Tight!

Alice Cooper Live In New Orleans - 1973!
Plus a Few Bonus Tracks From Portland, Oregon From About a Month Later...
Believe It Or Not (Ripley) BUT, This One's Got A Really Good Sound For '73!
It's a SBD From The Old Days - Not Perfect, Not Crystal Clear, But The Few Flaws Are Easily Overlooked For A Killer Show Like This One From Back When Alice Cooper Was a BAND!

From Wiki:
The classic Alice Cooper group line-up consisted of singer Alice Cooper (Vincent Furnier), lead guitarist Glen Buxton, rhythm guitarist Michael Bruce, bassist Dennis Dunaway and drummer Neal Smith. With the exception of Smith, who graduated from Camelback High School (which is referred to in the song "Alma Mater" on the album School's Out), all of the band members were on the Cortez High School cross-country team, and many of Cooper's stage effects were inspired by their cross-country coach, Emmett Smith (one of Smith's class projects was to build a working guillotine for slicing watermelons). Cooper, Buxton and Dunaway were also art students, and their admiration for the works of surrealist artists such as Salvador Dalí would further inspire their future stage antics.

Hope Everyone Had Some Great New Year's Fun, And Is Ready To Give 2012 a Go!
This 1st Post Of The NEW YEAR was sent in by Feelgood (Thanks, I Thought I Had Everything by Rose Tattoo...)!
He Also Passed Some Info Along With It (And The Complete Artwork!):

Citation from Rose Tattoo's official website (BIO - 1993):

"Around 1979, Mick and Georgie took leave of absence and the band continued on as a tour piece with guitar godfather and the early seventies' leader of Melbourne's infamous Coloured Balls Lobby Loyd on incredibly loud bass.
That lineup went to the U.S. in 1980 and recorded in the Hollywood studios of ex-patriot Australian hard rock king, Billy Thorpe. Those sessions which included the use of synthesizers and backward guitar techniques were the advance blueprint for the 1982 album. Scared For Life have never been released and remain in the vaults. In 1981, the band regrouped, recorded the Assault And Battery album and carried out a search and destroy mission on Europe and the U.K. to capitalize on the glowing response imported copies of the first album had received in those parts.

Liner notes for the "Nice Boys Don´t Play Rock´n´Roll" Compilation 1992 by Murray Engleheart"

Rose Tattoo "The Lost Album" also know as Scarred for Life The Lost Album

RoseTattoo-TheLostAlbum
LINKS Removed By Request
Can you take down the Rose Tattoo "Lost Album" please?
Aztec Music are planning an official remastered release of this album for later this year with the complete cooperation of Angry Anderson.
As the only surviving member of this particular RT line up, he is waiving his own royalties and is planning to split any profits between the families of his deceased former band mates.
To have the album posted here may deprive the families of Loyde, Royall and Wells of that income.
Thanks,
Cobb

Feelgood Also Sent This One Along For The Ride As Well...
(Used to be Posted Here on the Blog a Long, Long Time Ago...)
With More Great Info On The Band:
Great collection of rare B-Sides, a BBC Radio 1 studio session and alternate versions from the bands classic era.
No Tatts collection is complete without it.
A notorious Australian Rock n' Roll institution founded in Sydney during 1976. With AC/DC's global success opening the doors many Australian acts, the heavily tattooed ROSE TATTOO's raucous street level brand of slide guitar driven highly charged Rock won over many fans. Front man Angry Anderson, bald, tattooed and mean, is an instantly recognisable figure across the world. However, his rebellious persona has another side as Angry Anderson's work with youth projects and as a cultural ambassador for his country has earnt him the Order of Australia medal. The original ROSE TATTOO, created by former BAND OF LIGHT bassist Ian Rilen, consisted of vocalist Tony Lake, ex-BUFFALO guitarist Pete Wells, rhythm guitarist Leigh Johnston and drummer Michael 'Stork' Vandersluys. Wells had previously been bassist with BUFFALO and appears on four albums.
Before long both Lake and Johnston were out and in came guitarist Mick Cocks and the diminutive ex-BUSTER BROWN singer Gary 'Angry' Anderson. Although small of stature, Angry's image and demeanour perfectly suited his character and gave ROSE TATTOO a unique focal point. ROSE TATTOO put in their inaugural live performance on new year's eve 1976. The band's early live sets included numerous covers including the ROLLING STONES' 'Street Fighting Man' but by mid 1977 the band had enough original material to go into the studio.
Working with the famous Harry Vanda and George Young partnered Albert Productions team, upon recommendation from AC/DC's Bon Scott, the band, now with another former BUSTER BROWN man Dallas 'Digger' Royall on drums, cut the 'Bad Boy For Love' single. However, just as the single was issued in October of 1977 founder member Rilen opted out to create Punk band X. Although 'Bad Boy For Love' entered the Australian top twenty the band were undergoing line-up ructions. Down to a quartet, Cocks manoeuvred over to bass until another BUFFALO refugee Chris Turner stood in on guitar. Eventually Anderson & Royal's BUSTER BROWN colleague Geordie Leach filled the four string position allowing Cocks to go back to guitar.
ROSE TATTOO hit the Australian club scene and soon became steadfast favourites. The debut album, again produced by Vanda and Young, 'Rose Tattoo' was issued in November 1978 provided a quite awesome statement of intent. The band also contributed two live tracks, 'Bad Boy For Love' and 'Rock n' Roll Outlaw', to the 'Canned Rock' compilation.
Leach quit the band in early 1979 to be followed shortly after by Cocks. ROSE TATTOO retired to rebuild itself and by October had announced a fresh line-up of Anderson, Wells, Royall, and former COLOURED BALLS, BUSTER BROWN, PURPLE HEARTS and WILD CHERRIES bassist LOBBY LLOYDE. By 1991 Leach was a member of the reformed SOUTHERN LIGHTNING.
ROSE TATTOO meantime issued an independent single in 1980 with this line-up 'Realise Legalise', a split single in aid of Marijuana legalisation in alliance with Colin Peterson. The same year ROSE TATTOO recorded an album in Los Angeles, which to this day has never been released. Undaunted though, by the end of the year ROSE TATTOO had secured international major label deals although a further setback occurred when Lloyde left the band. Leach was quickly re-enlisted in time for shows in Europe where the 'Rock n' Roll Outlaw' single was charting in Britain, France and Germany.
ROSE TATTOO arrived in Britain at the height of the Punk explosion and the band's image certainly assisted their cause in a climate obsessed with street culture. The band put in two sold out gigs at London's Marquee club and appeared at the prestigious Reading festival. Demand for the band in Europe was high and in 1981 ROSE TATTOO guested for RAINBOW.
The band's debut album was retitled 'Rock n' Roll Outlaw' for the European market where its follow up 'Assault And Battery', released in September 1981, also saw strong sales and generated a brace of Australian hit singles with 'Out Of This Place' and 'Manzil Madness'. In spite of their progress the band's line-up remained fluid as that same month Cocks bailed out to join HEAVEN, his position being taken by ex-REDHOUSE man Robin Riley. The projected recording schedule was put on ice though when Riley broke his arm in a motorbike accident.
'Scarred For Life' in 1982 enhanced ROSE TATTOO's standing in Australia where it went on to sell nearly 100'000 copies producing a hit single 'We Can't Be Beaten'. ROSE TATTOO put in their first American dates by guesting for ZZ TOP and AEROSMITH. The escalating upward turn of events did not prevent the band splintering once again though and in early 1983 Wells, Royal and Riley jumped ship. Wells founded SCATTERED ACES with his former BUFFALO vocalist Chris Turner issuing the 'Six Pack' EP in 1984.

Here's a nice show from the boys of Y & T back in '85.
The audio from this show comes from their old vhs home video.So the quality's good.
I really liked them during the Earthshaker & Black Tiger era.
(Saw them when they supported AC/DC back in '82)
Two excellent Hard Rockin' classics.
Meanstreak was pretty good as well.
After that I thought their albums were pretty hit and miss but they were and still are excellent live.
So slide in that cd and crank it up!

Rocking The Bowl...

2011-12-31T12:43:00.003-05:00

Tape Rip.
A BBC Radio 1 broadcast.

Again I really liked the early Bon Jovi albums.Good Melodic Rock and Keep The Faith was a good album.After this one when's the last time they made a great album?These Days had a couple of good tunes but after that I'm scratching my head as to their next good rockin' album.
Who's buying their stuff now,housewives?
So,enjoy this one in front of a massive crowd, it's a good listen.
Tape flip during Blaze Of Glory.
Thanks To Rocket for the covers and Brian for the tape.
