The Rolling Stones 1966 American Tour was the last concert tour by the Stones with Brian Jones in the United States. The band had played 29 concerts in just over a month arriving in Honolulu to conclude the tour. Back in England, one politician announces "Our relationship with the United States runs the risk of getting considerably worse as soon as The Rolling Stones arrive in America... Americans will believe that English young people have attained a new degree of degeneration and that this country is being recklessly ruined." Having released 'Aftermath' in the spring of 1966, the first Stones album with all Jagger - Richards compositions, not surprisingly the tour featured a number of songs from the album. This then is The Rolling Stones on the 28th July 1966, live in concert in Honolulu, USA, from a recording circulated as 'So Much Younger Than Today' by The Swingin' Pig (TSP 012). Set list is: 1. Intro / Not Fade Away 2. The Last Time 3. Paint It Bl

This one could well be on a couple of Beatles fans music blogs already, but having listened, it is well worth sharing here on Beehive Candy. Paul McCartney performed live in Liverpool on Sunday (1st June 2008), as part of Liverpool's 'year of culture' events. The Liverpool 08 website summed up the concert as follows: 'Anfield football ground witnessed one of the greatest nights in its history on 1 June 2008 - with a stunning concert by Sir Paul McCartney to celebrate the city's year as European Capital of Culture. Brilliantly supported by The Kaiser Chiefs and The Zutons, the ex-Beatle - who last played in Liverpool exactly five years ago - gave a magical show with a blockbuster set of hits from his Fab Four, Wings and solo career that had the sold-out stadium on its feet for a full two hours. With touching tributes to George Harrison - on 'Blackbird' and 'Something' - and Linda, mingled with raucous renditions of 'Hey Jude' and &#

Time for something more recent, in this case The Killers , live in Santiago, Chile last year. The Killers are of course an American rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, who it may be fair to say have combined music styles from the 1980s and 1990s with modern synthetic music. Formed in 2002 and made up of Brandon Flowers ( vocals , keyboards ), Dave Keuning (guitar, vocals ), Mark Stoermer (bass guitar, vocals ) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr., ( drums , percussion ), they released their debut album, Hot Fuss , in 2004. Their second album, Sam's Town , was released in 2006. The compilation album Sawdust , containing B-sides, rarities, and some new material, was released in 2007. Their first two albums to date have sold in excess of 12 million copies worldwide combined. OK that's enough 'stuff' courtesy of good old 'Wiki', so hopefully it's predominately accurate, if accurate is your bag. This is the band live at the Fenix festival Arena, Santiago, Chile, on the 4th No

The 2007 official release of 'Family Tree' has at last delivered some of Nick Drake' s home recordings in very good quality condition. Some of the tracks on this boot 'Time Has Told Me' appear on the official release, and the re-mastering is notable. So the message is simple, get hold of a copy of 'Family Tree'. However for those of you in search of more, 'Time Has Told Me', is a superb collection. Originally surfacing as a three album vinyl release, and then a two CD version, 'Time Has Told Me' contains good audio quality material, predominately home recordings, of which many are covers of artists songs. The sheer volume of material, and the historical value of hearing Nick developing prior to his first album release, is of significant value to those who love his music. Track listing as on the vinyl album collection is: Side A (Disc.1) : A1. Get Together (Dino Valente) A2. Been Smoking Too Long (Robin Frederick) A3. Don

This is Grand Funk Railroad live at The Forum, Los Angeles, USA, on the 2nd June 1974. The Grand Funk Railroad lineup was highly popular during the 1970s, having sold over 25 million records and selling out arenas worldwide. The band were awarded four RIAA gold albums in 1970, the most for any American Group that year. The current Grand Funk Railroad lineup uses the nickname 'The American Band', from their hit song 'We're an American Band' . A popular take on the band during their heyday was that the critics hated them, but audiences loved them. Any how for some good old seventies, foot stomping stadium rock (complete with self indulgent but thankfully not too long drum solo) , this concert fits the bill. The set list was: 01 - Footstomping Music 02 - Rock-N-Roll Soul 03 - Heartbreaker 04 - Shinin' On 05 - The Loco-Motion 06 - We're An American Band 07 - T.N.U.C. 08 - Inside Looking Out The sound quality is excellent stereo soundboard, so turn it up loud (n

By the early 1970s, Johnny Cash had established his public image as 'The Man in Black' . He regularly performed dressed all in black, wearing a long black knee-length coat. This outfit stood in contrast to the costumes worn by most of the major country acts in his day, that is rhinestone suit and cowboy boots . In 1971, Cash wrote the song 'Man in Black' to help explain his dress code, "We're doing mighty fine I do suppose/In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes/But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back/Up front there ought to be a man in black." He and his band had initially worn black shirts because that was the only matching color they had among their various outfits, and he claimed to like wearing black both on and off stage. From the 'Man in Black' era this is Johnny Cash live at The Nieuwe RAI, Amsterdam, Holland, on the 26th February 1972. Set list is: 1. I Walk the Line intro / A boy Named Sue. 2. Ramblin
