Kim Mitchell

Terry's Corner's Fire Hall

Gasport, NY

July 13th 1986

Remastered FM.

It has some problems both onstage and recording-wise.

There are a couple of cuts and it's a bit quiet.

Compression did it no favours so you'll just have to turn it up.

Oh...did I mention the gig is really good? :)

Humanities Theatre

March 29th 1981

Remastered soundboard.

Some cuts and sound issues but it's generally OK.

It was fairly obvious by this point that Kim was about to embark on a solo career.

They completed a tour supporting Rush before the split

but this is believed to be their last headline show.

Alice Cooper

Capitol Theatre

Passaic, NJ

October 10th 1981

Remastered audio taken from an old video.

It was heavily compressed and dual mono.

A few glitches/issues but it sounds OK given it's humble lineage.

The four albums from the 'Blackout' period

are all excellent and it's a shame that no songs

from Zipper Catches Skin/DaDa were ever played live.

Zipper is one of my favourite Cooper albums.

This line-up was great with the older songs treated in a different way

to the more heavy metal sound he later adopted.

The final volume from this charity event.

The Radiators (not to be confused with their Australian namesakes)

Really good upbeat stuff a bit like Southside Johnny.

Caldera

Sky Islands 1977

I got into this overlooked band in the late 70s.

It's smooth jazz-fusion which evokes Return to Forever/Al Di Meola, Steely Dan,

Weather Report, Santana and Frank Zappa...with a soupçon of funk & soul.

A bit rough around the edges but I like it's raw quality

Record Plant recording from December 10th 1987.

Ragnarök (New Zealand)

Live in New Zealand

November 24th 1976

I checked this band out after AussieRock mentioned them

and I hope this goes some way towards easing his disappointment.

It's is a remastered copy of a gig at an unknown venue

which, I believe, had a Japanese release at some point.

It's not the greatest recording but I hope I've improved it.

Turn it up a bit...to give them a fair crack of the whip.

They're credited as being the first New Zealand band to import a mellotron.

Get yerself a slice of vintage Kiwi prog

..and it's not often one gets to say that!

Jethro Tull

Konserthuset

Stockholm, Sweden

January 9th 1969

My shot at remastering this vintage Tull recording.

I used a nyquist promt code...bit of an experiment.

Some slightly off-key noodling from Martin Barre

which suggests he was not quite the finished article at this point.

Molly Hatchet

Great Northern Music Hall

Grand Rapids, MI

December 13th 1979

Remastered FM.

Medium quality.

Not 100% sure about the date as I've seen multiple suggestions

so I'm sticking with the one from my notes.

Good solid Skynyrd=esqe rock from the Mollys.

Three guitars was too many for this band though IMO.

Was 'Molly Hatchet' Margaret Thatcher's online persona?

Freshly transferred and remastered from my old CDs.

A favourite of mine and I always liked the "chocolate" artwork.

Great New Year's Eve soundboard.

Can't remember what I was doing then but I bet it involved drinking.

Buck plays Auld Lang Syne for you!

The recording stops abruptly as there was a power failure at that point.
