Return To Forever 

Carnegie Hall

New York City

July 3rd 1974

Heavily remastered FM (?) often billed as soundboard.

Not the best quality recording but notable/interesting

as It was "Albert" Di Meola's live debut with the band

Chick noticeably takes more solo responsibilities 

than he would need to once Al got his teeth into the material.

Great to hear this legendary line up during it's embryonic conception.

Aswad

Marcus Garvey Centre

Nottingham, UK

February 20th 1984

Freshly captured rebroadcast which includes a guest appearance

from, the legendary Jamaican singer, Johnny Osbourne.

I'm not the world's biggest reggae fan but this is groovy stuff.

I find myself recommending it more than I had expected.

This was before they hit the big time with their,

somewhat watered-down pop, number one hit 'Don't Turn Around'

which is still an OK tune in my book.

Brinsley Forde MBE is a significant Aswadian.

Brinsley is a former child actor probably best known for his role

in the (popular-in-my-day) children's TV show Here Come The Double Deckers.

People change over time so I'm not sure which one is Brinsley:

BTW I have all the episodes of Double Deckers.

I'll post the first one if anybody is feeling nostalgic.

Thanks to Andycher for identifying the last song.

It is Aswad playing but it may be a cover of a non-Aswad tune?

Anyone remember the original Virgin shop on Lever Street?

A lot of German bands and more could be discovered in there

if you riffled through the, somewhat expensive, imports bin.

It felt 'underground' then but by the end of the 70s they'd moved into a megastore.

DEKAdance

Dem Deutschen Volk Geschnitten (1991)

The second album which was recorded in post-unification Berlin.

My copy was a bit murky so I did some remastering.

Maybe they had become tainted by the Wicked West? :)

It is another very good album regardless.

I forgot to mention in the previous DEKAdance post:

In their whackier moments they remind me of Sykotik Sinfoney.

The Only Ones/Whitesnake

Paris Theatre

London, UK

July 5th 1978

Another unlikely double bill from the BBC archives.

Freshly captured from the wireless.

The Only Ones remind me of the Buzzcocks.

I had two Whitesnake ordeals/experiences. 

This one:

...and again in 1983:

That was more than enough for me.

This early period is probably when they were their best.

I tacked on a remaster of their 1978 OGWT session.

Porcupine Tree

Voodoo Festival

New Orleans, LA

October 26th 2007

Just passing this one on from my huge PT folder.

I confess I haven't listened to it all

but I flicked through and I thought Porc fans might like it.

I can enjoy Wilson's music when I'm in the mood

but it often sounds like one of those shit Floyd albums.

The ones they  made after Roger Waters quit the band.

Music Magic (1979)

Inspired by Gordo* - this is probably the only Hawaiian thing I have :)

Decent 'middleweight' jazz fusion.

I expect their name was inspired by the Return to Forever album

and it may appeal to fans of RTF and/or those who like smoother jazz-fusion.

They made a second LP but that one is less interesting.
