Ted Nugent/Scorpions
K.B.F.H 1980

Remastered FM broadcast first aired on December 21st 1980.
Three of Ted's expletives are beeped-out.
No such issues with those well mannered German boys.
Ted can come over as a bit of a twerp sometimes
but he and his band are really good here.
For all you do...this Bud's for you.

Johnny Winter
Museumplatz
Bonn, Germany
May 12th 2007

Good quality mp4 copy of this Rockpalast show.
A frail/seated Johnny but he can still play
and his band are very slick.
With brother Edgar and a slightly bloated Rick Derringer
joining in for a few numbers.

Glastonbury Fayre 1971

Released in 1972 this was a triple LP to help fund the, then free, festival.
Here it is as a triple disc vinyl rip with the third disc being the documentary film
which was directed by Peter Neal and Nicolas Roeg.
Although most of the performances are live, not all were recorded at Glastonbury.
The track contributed by the Grateful Dead
(titled 'Dark Star....bury' for this compilation)
is a version of 'Dark Star' recorded at the Empire Pool, Wembley, London,
from April 8th 1972 (during the band's European tour).
The group was widely rumoured to be due to appear but did not.
Studio demo recordings were contributed by Marc Bolan and Pete Townshend,
who did not play at the event, and by David Bowie, who did.
I fixed a few volume issues (Townshend/Bowie/Hawkwind/Fairies/Broughton)
and replaced the Gong set with an alternative source
as that side of the vinyl was heavily scratched.
The link has the film in avi format.
There is also a link for a ready-to-burn DVD conversion.
Out Demons Out was always a tough listen!

Titus

The Tubes
Orpheum Theatre
Boston, MA
October 31st 1981

Reposted from December 2020

There seems to be quite a few good recordings from this tour.
This is a nice example. And hey! it's Halloween.
Mrs. Luxor and Bonzo would have been riding the broomstick.
Some tape flip/reel change moments but nothing too severe.
If I had the time at the moment I would have done
some more remastering on this but I am very busy
so that will have to wait for another time.
I'd like to give a heads up re Roger Steen.
He is a great guitarist and someone who
does not always get the recognition he deserves.
Plays some excellent stuff on this.
And Rick Anderson is a mean bass player.
Mr. Hate is a personal anthem for me.
"You'll never take me alive!" LOL

Elvis Presley
The Louisiana Hayride Shows

In 1969 BBC2 ran all of the Elvis fims.
The six year old Titus was hooked.
There was a 'new' 40 greatest hits double album.
I pestered my parents to buy it.
I learned every song and would perform them for my aunties
using the vacuum cleaner as a mic stand.
By 1970 I refused to perform anymore
and had moved on to more cutting-edge stuff.
I requested my first single.
It was Knock Three Times by Tony Orlando and Dawn.
Still loved Elvis though and I remember being glued
to Top of the Pops when Burning Love came out in 72.
Here's where it all started for Elvis and, subsequently, for me.





























Sound quality varies, as you can appreciate, given the vintage.

Titus

































Lars Hollmer & Looping Home Orchestra

I remember posting this in memory of Lars Hollmer
who had died a few days earlier on Christmas Day 2008.
A recent re-listen confirmed what I already knew: This is brilliant.

Men at Work
Agora Theater
Akron, Ohio
October 10th 1982

Remastered Westwood One FM broadcast.
The source seemed a little overdriven but I did my best and I think it turned out OK.
I'd give it a solid medium plus.
Their debut album 'Business as Usual' got a lot of Luxor deck-time 
back in the early eighties with 'Who Can it Be Now?' achieving anthemic status
in our, then, open-house (wink) world. Is it The Man come to take me away?

KISS
L'Olympia Bruno Coquatrix
Paris, France 
May 22nd 1976

Been listening to a few recordings from the 76 era.
All were diabolical.
Here is my remaster of the least diabolical.
I did a lot of work on this because I am a fan.
Not sure it was worth the effort.
from the online KISS concert history site:
An afternoon show with the concert starting at 3PM
and the band having to be out of the venue by 6:30PM
to allow for comedian Jerry Lewis' scheduled performance.
(he was booked May 18-31)

Little John's Farm
Reading, England
August 25th 1979

Remastered BBC Radio 1 FM.
The source is from a rebroadcast
on Alan Freeman's Saturday Rock Show (early 1990s)













































This edition of the festival was hit by line-up changes.
Thin Lizzy pulled out at a few days notice due to Gary Moore quitting
and were replaced by the Scorpions
The Ramones dropped out as well.
Nils Lofgren took their spot.
Fluff quotes the wrong date during the outro.

De Staat

De Staat is a Dutch alternative rock band, formed in Nijmegen in 2006.

Check this out.

Samla Mammas Manna & Ron Geesin
Tonkraft (Swedish radio)
Legendary Swedish Radio Archives vol. 1
1975

Slightly remastered mp3 FM.
Scottish musician/composer/arranger Ron Geesin
is probably best known for his work with Roger Waters and Pink Floyd.
(Music from the Body/Atom Heart Mother)
Here he is thrown together with the Samlas
and he produces weird and wonderful stuff.
The first half hour SMM set is simply sublime.
Top performance of Ikarien and an interesting version of Ödet.

Zappa/Beefheart/Mothers
County Coliseum
El Paso, TX
May 23rd 1975

My remaster of this somewhat odd bootleg.
By odd, I am refering to the wealth of bonus material.
We get the bulk of the El Paso show
(itself, I suspect, compiled from different sources)
plus various other tracks...so sound quality varies throughout.
The 73 recording is, arguably, the weakest
although it is notable for Irma Coffee's contribution.
I hope my reworking is a modest upgrade.
Overall I'd give it a solid medium plus.
Music/performance, however, is excellent
and exactly what you would want/expect from mid 70s FZ.
