  1. "Four Rovers in Landover" Cap Center 1977-05-30. "Ten Years Gone" at the moment. There is something wrong with TSRTS... I think I'll try reconverting it... because the sound quality improves drastically as soon as Sick Again starts. Haven't had this on in ages. Pretty much all killer so far.
  2. Not sure what possessed me to stop by here for the first time in years, but hello, everyone. I couldn't help but be drawn into this thread. 1977-06-23 is the one I usually choose if someone insists on hearing a live version of this piece. Granted, there are plenty of holes in my collection. I see a couple of things I'll have to look for next time I'm on the hunt. This is normally not one of my favorite tunes to hear live, despite the album version (and album it's from) being one of my all time favorites. Slightly off topic, but this keeps popping up in the thread, my personal opinion about the 1980 tour is that the audience tapes sound better. The reverb of the hall, and mix from the front of house speakers are what they band intended the audience to hear. Interesting little tangent Jimmy takes at around 8min in the vid above, but I can't count that as my (the) fav. As has been stated, YouTube videos with still images could be anything, but "Tour Over Europe 1980" in my somewhat dated experience normally refers to Zurich, and I'll go out on a limb and say, that is what you have in the video above.
  3. "St. Paul Master" lz1973-07-09cas.dat.cdrN.eac.cep just hit the transition from Rock and Roll into Celebration Day (edit) HOLY No Quarter!!! only drawback, you need some "bootleg ears" and perhaps a nice EQ to really get into it. not suitable for top-down cruising, but at the risk of being repetitive, Holy No Quarter! (/edit) (edit) ... and the audience is surprisingly responsive to Moby Dick (/edit)
  4. "Last Stand" Berlin 1980-07-07trw1999 It's kind of a bummer too, but currently "Trampled Underfoot" is really hot "Push! Push!"
  5. is amazed his account still exists

  7. I think I'm going in for a make-over

  8. Fela Kuti - Jazz Side of Fela: Afro Groove Collection II
  9. Here's how I spent my $50 itunes gift card given to me at Christmas by my aunt. I tried posting the images inline from my yahoo japan and flikr accounts, but the board won't accept 'dynamic links' in image tags. I think I've posted photos from geocities before, but I'm sick of dealing with it at the moment.

That's what I get for being slow. That's quite a big difference too! Darkly ironic too considering Fogelberg's recent passing. Two of my all-time favorite recordings. These are desert island discs for me. Enjoy.

Page's Badgeholders Club Band part 1 10 08/1/17 12:28 PM Dusk 5:55 Sachiko Kunado 2 08/1/17 12:22 PM Been experimenting with the shuffle feature. Right on, I've been dragging my feet on the new one. I had to pay premium to get the Collectors Edition DVD cause they were all sold out on pre-order. I'll pick it up next time I'm near HMV record store. It won't be going out of stock any time soon. :-) Great tune! My cousin lent me the Janis 3 disc box set for a while back in the 90s. Love this period and this song. Great song, no doubt. and the transition from Upon A Golden Horse is excellent. Great sig pic btw. the sunburst Plant. Nice! Someone else listening to Rusted Root. This is such a great way to start an album. Ahh... very good news. Their first CD "Cruel Sun", I think it's called, is really good too. They rerecorded a lot of songs from it for "When I Woke", but the originals are cool too. it's more mellow, I think. I think Jen Wurz and Liz Berlin are both with the band again. Liz took some time off to become a mother. I'm really looking forward to their new CD if it has the original line-up. I think, by the time When I Woke came out, they'd been doing the indies scene with that sound for several years, so when they broke it may have been a chance for Mike Gabliki to experiment with the sound a bit. A friend of mine lived downstair from Mike around the time of Remember. He said he and Mike used to have some informal jam sessions on electric guitar in each others' apartments and occasionally Mike would say something along the lines of, 'that was pretty good, do you mind if I use that?' That's what my friend said, at least. As you said, though, the member changes certainly had an effect. I don't think I've had a chance to see them perform since When I Woke came out. Too bad really. One of my favorite bands from the 90s. Definitely looking forward to their new recording. Yeah, one of my favorites too. So much power. Such a great support performance (lead, really) by the female singer. Yeah, I love this album. Isis, One more Cup of Coffee, Hurricane the list goes on, great tunes.
  11. Katsurei 割礼 and Sakana さかな tonight at Tokuzo, Nagoya Japan (hope that ASCAP guy doesn't read this) The Crowes are in NZ eh? Good on'em! And it's hard to imagine the words 'Adrian Belew' and 'Power' in the same sentence, but I'll tak e your word for it.
  12. Raga Madhuvanthi -> Raga Kalavati Carlos Guerra - Bansuri (bamboo flute) Tetsuya Kaneko - Pakhavaj (double sided drum with bread dough on one head) Mah-ha - Ghatam (bulbous clay pot with a narrow opening) Mrs. Guerra - Tamboura (4 string drone instrument plays only one open chord) live sound by Tonchin at Shimauma Book Store, Nagoya Japan No results. The guy must've thought I was gonna get his torrent pulled. He gave me no reply..... Those are the guys that did I Just Wanna Celebrate right? The new version or the old version of TSRTS? How is that BTW? Is that the one with American Pie? You said it. I find myself thinking the same thing. I'm gonna hold you to that statement! I'll second THAT! Perfect for toolin' around in the hot rod. She's crafty!.... and she's just my type! One of my favorite VH songs. Sometimes I just can't get this out of my head. Gets no respect, though. Nice post!
  13. We are way off topic, but the only advantage of the CD burning deck over the USB turntable, is that you can choose your turntable... Probably not such a big issue to burn some old well used records, though. My TT is nothing special, that's for sure. Thanks for the brew,
  14. Sabir Mateen Group at Tonic, NYC 2006, 09 29 or possible the 12th, depending on which info... Too many shows for the tapers to keep up with Yeah, between April and June they may have switched things up a bit, but the guy yelling out Mahavishnu kind of leads me to believe that Jeff was joining them, as you said. No word from the source, but obviously he thinks it's McLaughlin joining Beck, otherwise he wouldn't have written it that way. Google here I come... maybe tomorrow... feeling sleepy. Gotta find the real info on that Sabir Mateen gig too.
  15. I've had it for a couple years now, so I don't remember exactly, but if I recall correctly it was only a couple hundred bucks or so. I bought it with Yen, though. so that clouds the issue even further. It's called the Teac RW-D280. http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/News/Detai...spx?NewsId=5581 The site below is selling it for 60,000 yen, which is less than US$500. I'm sure I got it for far less than that. No way I payed that much. http://www.teac.co.jp/av/all_prod/cdr/rwd280.html If you have to pay that much a USB turntable might be cheaper. Maybe you can use this info to find a newer model. Don't seem to be any for sale on ebay, or much of anywhere for that matter. Just owning one of these is asking to be taken to court by the RIAA
  16. Nohshintoh, First Live of 2008 at KD Japon, Nagoya on the 5th of January. Was there a man in line blowin' her mind thinkin' that he'd already made her? ;-) How was that Fogerty show? I've heard one recording which sounded really good. I tried to buy his album on itunes, but for some reason the phone company won't let me connect. (not will they let me connect to a number of other sites which I've finally started bookmarking for when I file my complaint next week)

Like you said, they could have alternated, but when I listened closely I started thinking the show you saw was probably the same. The big giveaway (which I heard after I made the last post) was a guy in the crowd screaming, "Mahavishnu! Mahavisnhu Number One!" over and over.
  18. Got The Feeling - Mahavishnu Orchestra with Jeff Beck, AVERY FISHER HALL, NEW YORK,NY,USA, APRIL 30,1975 CASSETTE AUD MASTER > REEL > M-AUDIO TRANSIT > COOL EDIT > CD WAVE EDITOR > FLAC Joelmon, on second listen, this has to be Mahavishnu with Beck rather than the other way round. Good call. Thanks for straightening me out. I clearly hear a violin and that drumming.... Also, the mix is different. The bass guitar is there, but rather... plucky and much lower in the mix for Jeff's set, but very bassy and just as loud as the guitars (louder than Jeff Beck's maybe) for the last track. Someone's pulled a fast one here not unusual.
  19. I was just watching the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Rainbow on Youtube. Someone's Done the Wizard of Oz - Dark Side of The Moon thing in software, cut it up and put it on Youtube. Wasn't quite as cool as I remembered from 10 years ago, but The Great Gig In The Sky Sequence is really good. (part 3 or 4) Despite the horrid bitrate required to fit these segments into youtube limits. here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmCfvcfHwKA...feature=related That should work. Yeah and then your Primus cover of PF and my PF/WOO above too. (Speaking of synchronicity!) The Mahavishnu set wasn't included in the Jeff Beck set I got. Too bad, I'd certainly like to hear that too. The recording is good. Not spectacular, but listenable and clear. I can hear everything Beck is playing. I've certainly sat through worse and more than once at that. This is the info I got (Caps Lock sic) JEFF BECK AVERY FISHER HALL, NEW YORK,NY,USA APRIL 30,1975 JEFF BECK - GUITAR WILBUR BASCOMB - BASS BERNARD PURDIE - DRUMS MAX MIDDLETON - KEYBOARDS JOHN MCLAUGHLIN ** - GUITAR 1-TUNING 2-CONSTIPATED DUCK 3-SHE'S A WOMAN 4-FREEWAY JAM > 5-DEFINITELY MAYBE 6-SUPERSTITION 7-KEYBOARD SOLO > 8-CAUSE WE'VE ENDED AS LOVERS 9-POWER 10-YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN 11-CROWD 12-GOT THE FEELING ** CASSETTE AUD MASTER > REEL > M-AUDIO TRANSIT > COOL EDIT > CD WAVE EDITOR > FLAC Definitely a great cover version in my book. I'd almost agree that it's better than the original, but there's no Roy Harper Wow, I hope your dog has recovered. That's a strange thing to come home to.
  20. Lucifer's Eyes: Joan Baez with The Grateful Dead, 31 December 1981, Oakland Auditorium, Oakland, CA So nice, what a great way to wind down 2007 (23:10 here in Japan now) So far: Land of A Thousand Dances (Joan a cappella) Do Right Woman (") The Boxer (Joan solo, what a musician! great guitar, devastating singing) Tunisian New Year Song (Joan with a drum of some kind) And then she's joined by The Dead for Me & Bobby McGee Bye Bye Love Lucifer's Eyes and now just starting Children of the 80s Bobby tries to sing some harmonies on Bobby McGee, but the Dead should leave the singing to Joan Baez, I think. Bobby wants to teach her Wang Dand Doodle. Nice! Wow, I was just listening to the April 30th Avery Fisher Hall, NY show earlier today. John McLaughlin comes in for that crazed jam in the last song. Ok, gotta get dressed to go to the local temple to literaly ring in the new year with the temple bell.
  21. I got a CD recording deck from Teac... (double CD deck! ) makes an extra step if you wanna put it in your computer, but it's quick, easy and trouble-free just like dubbing cassettes hahahah
  22. Yeah, I had to break out both records this morning since it's been quite a few months since I've had them on. I've always liked the different images that come from the band name. first and most obvious: The Firm (like the movie) as a company or business project (which may be most accurate) The Firm as in not quite hard... The Firm as in the opposite of The Infirm But anyway, the music, this is what I have thought and in particular was thinking this morning. Together is the only real low point of the first album. Every time Paul sings 'Yesterday' I just wanna continue with 'all my troubles seemed so far away...' maybe it's just me. I didn't used to like You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling, but I found myself turning it up today... (who knows ) Some may object to the horn section of Closer, but I really like this song. It could have used a slightly denser production, perhaps, despite the energy, it feels kind of light. IMO good song regardless. Make Or Break, another good song Paul subliminally raids the Beatles cannon again for Money Can't Buy, but the similarities end at the title. Not the best song on the album. The second album has more of a sludgy sound. Jimmy's either laying on the overdubs or the effects, can't quite tell. The Live In Peace guitar solo is stellar. That song really builds up. It kinda has you wondering if this was one of the stinkers when it starts, but by the end I forgot all about that. A lot of people don't care for Dreaming, a Tony Franklin composition, but I really like how it pushes Jimmy and the band in an unusual direction (nice tremolo bar solo too) with the odd time signature and the creamy clean chorussy guitar comping. Spirit Of Love, I could do without. It has all the potential to be an extended stadium sing-along and has that kind of 'Rod Stewart' build up that I've read Jimmy saying was something he didn't like about All My Love, but lacks his sense of balladry. Chris Slade's drumming is far from his style during his AC/DC tenure. He's obviously a multi-faceted musician. My friend who sings Humpty Dumpty to All The Kings Horses was joking that Jason shaved his head to create some continuity with Chris Slade... (obviously not! ) Again, Paul Rodgers is a love-song-singin' kinda guy, so there's not much you can do about that.
  23. No, your not! (well, I'm not so much anymore) This is gonna sound harsh, but no offense intended: I couldn't disagree more about Coverdale/Page. The Firm albums have far more character than C/P. IMO that is the case where Page gave too much leeway. The lyrics on that album are completely unlistenable to me. I've had it for years and have barely been able to listen all the way through. Jimmy's playing is fast and clean and there are lots and lots of guitar-army overdubs, can't fault that, but the songs I just think are terrible. It doesn't help that at the time not many people could ignore the fact that it was like a slap in the face for Jimmy to collaborate with David Coverversion. That's why demand for the US tour was poor. The only thing worse was the Puff Daddy collabo. In retrospect the second Firm album is a bit bland, but also has some really awesome moments, like Fortune Hunter and Cadillac. The Firm suffers mainly in the lyric department, much like Coverversion/Page. But I'll tell you what, in 1986/87 I was listening to that second Firm album non-stop. I didn't find any fault with it at the time. One of my friends can't stop himself from singing 'couldn't put Humpty Dumty back together again' during All The Kings Horses. Now he's got me doing it. I think I tend to have more of a Pop sensibility than a Hard Rock sense, so that probably explains my affinity for The Firm over Coverdale/Page. I've never been into any L.A. Metal bands (not since Quiet Riot in the 5th grade, at least - somehow G'N'R doesn't count for me) I know Coverdale is English, but it's tough to distinguish him from that scene. The Firm fit nicely into it's time period. It's a distinguished chapter in Jimmy Page's catalog. C/P was too little too late. Hair Metal was already being replaced by Grunge. This was an embarrassing misstep, but luckily pushed Robert Plant over the edge to wanna work with Jimmy again and gave us the P/P collabo. As above, I agree very much about The Firm, but as for C/P good guitar work, but IMO horrible songs. It's like listening to Alcatrazz. I really like Tony Franklin's bass playing. Chris Slade... doesn't really strike me one way or the other. Can't really fault him, though. I hear ya. There was definitely a lot of excitement surrounding The Firm and Outrider. I see you've already been corrected on the origins of Midnight Moonlight. Easy mistake. From the few shows I've heard The Firm was a great live band too. Anyone who ever saw them has said the same. The video I saw of the C/P tour in Japan is pretty painful, but Jimmy is covering all the guitar parts himself (including the Whitesnake numbers!). Too bad he forgot to practice White Summer.
  24. Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin - live in Munich 1980-07-05 with Simon Kirk guest drummer along with Bonzo. ('source 2' cas(3)->CDR->flac)
