Considering Texas only formed in 1986, and made their live debut in March 1988, by the time of this concert in June 1989, they sounded very polished and professional, having already scored a top ten hit in the UK and parts of Europe. Was it really twenty years ago ? This concert was performed at The Paradiso, Amsterdam, Holland on the 12th June 1989. Many of their tour dates were bootlegged at this time, this concert circulated as 'First Dive' on CD, but did not include the full set.

This is Boz Scaggs live in concert at The Budokan, Tokyo, Japan, on March 15th, 1985, part of Expo 1985. I do not intend to go on about Boz Scaggs in detail here, when his 'official' fan site has a mass of information that would keep the most ardent fan amused and interested for hours. All I will say is, if you remain unfamiliar with Boz's music and you like a quality singer - song writer, who plays the guitar superbly, and enjoy anything from Rock to Soul, Blues to Pop, take a listen to this recording. Source: Originally circulated on CD bootlegger's 'Fire Power' (FP9045), who used silver discs rather than CDR's, the original was recorded from an FM radio broadcast. Sound Quality: Very good stereo FM (mp3 @ 192kbps). Genre: Wikipedia reckons -Blue-eyed soul, Disco, Rock, Blues Rock, oh just listen and make your own decision if it's that crucial!

My first memories of The Tubes , was hearing Radio Caroline play 'Don't Touch Me There' back in 1976, at a time when BBC Radio & the UK's fledgling commercial stations bent over backwards to ban anything that was remotely risque, or questionable... well anything! A number of The Tubes band members were students at the same high school in Phoenix, Arizona, as Alice Cooper, what were they putting in the water back there and then? This recording was made at a time when The Tubes were arguably moving towards their first creative peak, which was both visual and musical. This then is The Tubes live at the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, USA, on the 26th June 1976. Source: Tricky one this. I thought it was definitely an expanded version of a King Biscuit Flower Hour recording, however their site partly contradicts this, any how it's a professionally mixed recording. Sound Quality: Very good stereo soundboard quality @ 192kbps. Genre: Rock, from Pop Rock to New Wav

It was the UK's NME (New Musical Express), that introduced me to Nils Lofgren , way back when I was a much, much, younger person in the second half of the 1970's. I was so impressed I went about purchasing his earlier material with 'Grin', and feel a strange personal satisfaction that has been such a key member of Bruce Springsteen's 'E Street Band'. This then is Nils Lofgren and band, back on the 30th May 1977, at the Pink Pop Festival, Geleen, Holland. Source: Local FM radio broadcast. Sound Quality: Very Good quality FM Stereo off air recording converted to 320kbps MP3. Genre: Rock, Blues Rock, high quality guitar and vocals. Set: Part of the festival set (as far as I know), for FM broadcast featuring key songs. Set List: 1.Incidentally it's over. 2.Like rain. 3.Code of the road. 4.Keith don't go. 5.Moon tears. 6.I came to dance. Total Playing Time 38:01 Links: Official Site (very good) HERE .

Who can forget the legend that was Ron, Dirk, Stig, and Barry? The 'Prefab Four' remain in our hearts forever, a legend in their own lunchtime, always to be remembered as The Rutles . OK I hope you know the story, and some of the music, if not, and if you like The Beatles and love a good laugh this is the perfect parody. This particular recording is from The Rutles pre tour rehearsals, not sure where, its great music though, and also known as 'Sweet Rutles Tracks'. Source: Studio rehearsals 1978. Sound Quality: Good quality stereo (studio rehearsal 'live' recording). Genre: Parody, comedy, musically think The Beatles. Set: Part of studio rehearsal's with some archive Rutles video soundbites. Set List: We've Arrived 3:25 Now She's Left You 1:41 Number One 2:40 Love Life 3:23 Goose-Step Mama 2:34 It's Looking Good 1:56 I Must Be In Love 2:17 Baby Let Me Be 2:44 Good Times Roll 3:08
