A diverse offering of genres today......

Sorry, no pics today (I know it makes it bland but I didn't find anything that fit the way I wanted them too. So here's the music!!!!!!

First up is Slade - Live at Sheffield (UK) and it's circa 1973. Sorry no set list on this one but if you are a Slade fan there are no surprises here! Nice sound and this is a single file with no track separation.

Robin Trower has long been one of my favorite guitarists and this one of my favorite shows of his. It was recorded in San Francisco on either 11-2 or 11-3-73 at the Winterland Arena in San Francisco California. Most sources I've found go with the former date, but there is such a discrepincy I'm leaving it open. I really don't care, it's all about the music to me anyways. This is from an LP called Guitar Bandit released on the Amazing Kornyfone label (Tarkl-1939) many years ago.

Setlsit:

1.The fool and me/2.Twice removed from yesterday/3.Lady love/4.Day dream/5.Day of the eagle/6.I can't wait much longer/7.Man of the world/8.Sinners song/9.Little bit of sympathy.


R.I.P. Jimmie Dewar

From back in their progressive days here is an excellent set from Journey entitled Live at the Record Plant '74. Date is unknown and it features the more experimental side of the band. Steve Perry isn't here so if that Journey is your cup o' tea, you may not like this much. A personal opinion: Gregg Rolie was a better singer, I just never got into Perry that much. Too much whoa-whoain' going on with him. No set list, sorry.

Not yet Steve

Here are some John Lennon & the Plastic Ono band demos from the album of the same name released in 1970. These were floating around on a CD called "the Dream is Over" and thought some of you might enjoy them. The last track is cut short by whoever I got them from back in my trading days. Tracks are tagged.

John McLaughlin & the Mahavishnu Orchestra - the Mourning Flame of the Eternal Five. Compilation of the band's TV/radio performances from 1973: ABC In Concert, Don Kirshner's Rock Concert and BBC in Concert. A little bit o' hiss but still nice. This is tagged as "....Eternal Fire" and I always thought that's what is was called until the internet came along. For the jazz fusion/proggers out there!
