BEEHIVE CANDY

This is from the tour promoting the band's last album to date, 1992's That What Is Not. John Lydon disbanded the group a year later after Virgin records refused to pay for the tour supporting the album and Lydon had to pay for it out of his own pocket. As far as I know John Lydon still considers the band to be on hiatus. This boot often goes under the name 'Rotten To The Core' whatever the name, this is one stonking performance. Performing in Finland at the Provinnssi Rock Festival on the 6th June 1992, - this is a full stereo soundboard recording (@192kbs). The gig consists of: 01. This Is Not A Love Song 02. Criminal 03.

This is The Clash Live at the Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, California, on the 29th October 1982. They were the main support act for The Who on this occasion, whilst supporting them across the USA predominately in large arena's and stadiums. This was around the time that the band begun to suffer from a lot of 'internal wrangling' partly as Topper Headon had been replaced by Terry Chimes on drums, and probably due to the toll of constant touring and album recording. This remains however a very cohesive and solid performance, and the audio quality is spot on (stereo soundboard). Set List: 01. London Calling 02. Police On My Back 03. The Guns of Brixton 04. This Is Radio Clash 05. Spanish Bombs 06. Rock the Casbah 07. The Magnificent Seven/Armagideon Time/The Magnificent Seven 08. Janie Jones 09. Train In Vain 10. Tommy Gun 11. Clampdown 12.

Brian Wilson is one of a very few number of artists, that I feel comfortable about being referred to as, a musical legend or the like. It's not just the fact that he overcame his personal health difficulties, that kept him out of the music scene for so long, that gives him the right to such accolades. For me it is the music. Pure and simple, just that - the music. His contribution to the Beach Boys legacy in recent years, and the stunning recreation of so many classics live, along with some newer material, has been the proverbial 'breath of fresh air' popular music so often begs for. This is Brian Wilson at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark in 2005. The annual Roskilde festival has a number of synergies with the UK's Glastonbury festival amongst others, their web site is well worth a visit, I wonder if getting tickets is just as difficult? Therefore it is no suprise that he played Glastonbury just a few days earlier, as part of the Smile tour from that year.

When I was a mere young lad in my teens, this Led Zeppelin bootleg was often talked of, in 'hushed undertones', however neither my friends or I ever owned a copy. For a while it became something of a status symbol to have heard it, or even know of someone, that had a copy. In reality as far as bootlegs go this really is something special. Cutting and pasting shamelessly from Wikipedia, (where this boot has it's own entry!) here is a rough history of the bootleg. Live On Blueberry Hill (also known as Blueberry Hill) is an audience recording. It is well known for being one of the first ever Led Zeppelin bootlegs, and indeed one of the first ever rock and roll bootlegs ever released. It was initially released on the Blimp label. The sleeve notes described it as "One hundred and six minutes and fifty three seconds of pure alive rock." The album was subsequently pressed on the Trade Mark of Quality label and shipped to England. Live On Blueberry Hill de

Hootie and the Blowfish originally formed at the University of South Carolina back in 1985, the line up being, Darius Rucker, Dean Felber, Jim "Sonny" Sonefeld and Mark Bryan. This is an acoustic gig, with some extras, that having listened to earlier today, sounds really good. I am not that familiar with their music, however having enjoyed this, I will be checking out some more! The concert was recorded on 'home turf' at the Horeshoe, University of South Carolina, and consists of: Set List: 1. Time 2. Sad caper 3. Running From An Angel 4. She Crawls Away 5. The Earth Stayed Cold At Dawn 6. Gravity Of The Situation 7. I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You 8. Let Her Cry 9. So Strange 10. Hold My Hand Plus recorded at GLR (BBC Radio) London on the 1st May 1996 (acoustic session). 11. Sad Caper 12. The Earth Stayed Cold At Dawn Finally Live at The Ed Sullivan Theatre NYC on the 23rd May 1996 13. Old Man and Me Sound quality is very go

I have always liked Kate Bush . She epitomises every thing that is good about a creative artist & musician. I could go on and on, I guess you know all this. She has been, and remains one of the best female artist's in popular, and contemporary music. This is a compilation of live TV appearance soundtracks, 70's & 80's charity contributions, and limited live material that has been circulated under the title ' Butterfly Kisses'. I am not sure if this was originally one of those cynical 'rip off' Cd's traded as an official release, or just a collection of fans material (hopefully it is the latter). Track listing: 01 - Wuthering Heights (3:00) BBC TV, Top of the Pops - 16 Feb 1978. 02 - The Man with the Child in His Eyes (2:51) 03 - Them Heavy People (2:48) TV (New York), Saturday Night Live - 09 Dec 1978. 04 - Under the Ivy (2:13 Studio, Abbey Road, March 1986. 05 - Breathing (3:07) 06 - Do Bears? (3:49) BBC TV, Comic Relief - 04 April 198

Am I glad I was just a minor in 1967. The whole hippie, summer of love, flowers in your hair, psychedelic thing would surely have sucked me in. These day's, I'd be recounting tales of just how 'far out' I really was, in that boring monotonous way that only old stoners can. Hmmm maybe... This is another moment in rock music history. First of all the venue, the 'Cafe Au Go Go'. The Cafe au Go Go was a Greenwich Village night club located in the basement of 152 Bleecker Street, New York, NY. The club was the first New York venue for the Grateful Dead, and has a veritable whose who, of 1960's artists that played there. Jefferson Airplane performed for two weeks at the Cafe au Go-Go, with supporting act Richie Havens, from February 1967. This recording was from 4th March 1967. As far as the Jefferson Airplane go, they had formed in 1965, in San Francisco, with their debut show on August 13th 1965, at the Matrix nightclub (San Francisco). Vocalist

Celebrating the 100th post on this still very young blog, I can think of no finer band than The Black Crowes. Back on the 26th July, I put up the full concert from the 19th March 2006 at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire. The following evening (yep - I make that the 20th) they played a second concert, and here is where you start to learn just how cool, unique, talented, and other thingies the Black Crowes are. They play a very different set, different songs, unique jams, and a stonking performance. Now the 19th March gig can still be downloaded, so if you are new to the band, why not download the first part of the 19th and compare it to the first part of the 20th March performance. If you are not a fan at the end of both, do the following. Go and stand in front of a full length mirror, look yourself up and down (no touching) and say out loud, "I am not a rock'n'roller". There is no known cure for this condition, however a quick dose of James Blunt,

Time for another bout of Whats Up Doc? Plenty of very good new music, some brand spanking new, some recent. Not long now before the record industry starts the season of inevitably dodgy repackaged compilations... So whats on my play list right now? Lets start with the new album from Siouxsie namely 'Mantaray'. If you like anything by the Banshees, or The Creatures, it's a must to check out. Have a listen to: Links Removed - MP3 Policy. Siouxsie - Into a Swan (radio edit).mp3 Official site and more info HERE . Radiohead have announced the release of a new album - 'In Rainbows', as I am sure all their fans already know. For full details go to their site HERE . Two options, one - pre-order to download the single album, you choose the amount you want to pay, and two - order the comprehensive Cd & vinyl package, that will be dispatched in December. Some of the songs from the new album were played on their tour last year. Whether they are like the finished article,

When is a bootleg, not a bootleg? "I think 1986 was a peak", states The Waterboys founder Mike Scott, "We never really came back to where we were in 1986." How good was their concert at Glastonbury in 1986? So good that in 1998, Mike Scott released a live album of The Waterboys including the Glastonbury performance, despite the fact it had been bootlegged from the radio broadcast twelve years earlier! It's all a bit of a conundrum, when you consider the 'official release', and what has subsequently happened, it goes like this. According to Mike Scott, the album was put out by New Millennium Records (although Amazon.com credits it to "Msi", and All Music Guide credits it to "Pilot" and "Griffin"). Mike Scott claims that New Millennium stopped paying royalties to the band but continued to sell the album. The album is not listed on the band's own 'official' discography. Whatever the actual facts are,
