Those were the times. I clearly remember when I first got my hands on “Shout At The Devil“ of the shock rockers MÖTLEY CRÜE in 1983 when everybody in the Metal/Hard Rock scene listened to that album. This was evil and heavy! Just look at the title and the pentagram on the cover, these were the things that fascinated a 13-years old teenager like me. At that time, I didn’t know that the guys around band leader Nikki Sixx were the bad boys and the biggest losers of the entire LA-scene if not the whole global Heavy scene due to their sex, alcohol and drug escapades. “Shout At The Devil” was their break through in 1983 followed by big concerts in California, an Australian tour as support for KISS and US tour with OZZY OSBOURNE. In Europe, they played together with IRON MAIDEN. But no success without a scandal: at first, a “Committee On Pornography In Rock Music” of the US senate criticized the band for violent and sexist lyrics and then there was the car accident of vocalist Vince Neil, who was drunken and crashed into another car. His co-driver Razzle, drummer of HANOI ROCKS, died and the inmates of the other car suffered on vital wounds. Their next album “Theatre Of Pain” was dedicated to the victim. Shit happens! But “Shout At The Devil” is still their best and heaviest album so far. I don’t know what stuff Sixx, Neil, Lee and Mars smoked or sniffed but you never heard such songs again from THE CRÜE. The title track with its stomping beat is a classic. “Shout, shout, shout at the devil” – nobody knows how much I shouted along to this line. “Looks That Kill” is another song of this category and it still has an impact today. “Bastard” was the heaviest song on the disc and it’s a true banger. The BEATLES-cover “Helter Skelter” was never my cup of tea. This is the only little mistake on this classic piece. It’s not a bad song but it can’t compete with their own tracks. “Knock Em Dead Kid” is another heavy killer and the ballad “Danger” is always good for some goose flesh. This song shakes me still today. “Red Hot” is another uptempo song and a rhythm you can’t escape. “Too Young To Fall In Love” is another hit. Not to forget “Ten Seconds To Live”, a straight Party Rock song with balls and a sing-along chorus.
Here they are taped live in Toronto in 1984 while opening for Ozzy Osbourne.
For more than 30 years, Ska survives, regenerates,outfachions, Headlines again, implying rockeurs, followers of reggae, of dub, the punks… Skatalites, they, are always there, escaping the influence of time. Lead by a little insane trombonist that was Don Drummond, the group gave birth to this mélodioux and rich Ska which tainted with various musical inspirations, mixture of R& B, African rastafaris rhythms and Cuban percussions. Marked of an open-minded incomparable, Skatalites picked in all the musical universes which they know, also collaborating with Prince Buster or Toots Hibbert, which with a jazzband…. With more than thirty albums to the meter, the combo became a true mythical group, writing some of the most beautiful pages of the ska jamaïcain. Their beginnings with today, original band with the current formation off perdurent titles like “Guns Navarone”, “City Phoenix” or “James Bond Theme”. Titles never unfashionable, like their authors.
The Show posted was recorded by Wojtek in Luxembourg in 2008. It Is 95 minutes of pure Ska Live!!!
Tapers / Recorders were in full force at Coachella 2008 by the number of artists that have been hitting the bit torrent sites as of late. Of course the popular ones of Prince, Roger Waters, and Portishead are all up but some ones you might have missed as well. Mark Ronson, Calvin Harris, Spiritualized, Stars, and video of Fatboy Slim have been appearing as fast as I can find them. Bootleg recordings have came quite a way with the introduction of new recorders and of course the internet. Most of all the recordings come in FLAC (Fully Lossless Audio Codec for you non audiophiles) although can be converted into MP3 even though an audiophile will feel sick-to-their-stomach by just the mere mention. Rumor has it that Largehearted Boy has a blog that MIGHT have links, but that is of course only rumor....

Recorded live in Japan in 2006, this live document features a unique jam between MMW organist John Medeski and Canadian turnablist Kid Koala. John is known to have experiment live music with a record spinner (Dj Logic) in the past. This is not surprising that he sounds very confortable on those 3 improvisations. Kid Koala was doing the opening set for MMW at the True People's Celebration and carried on over 3 tracks with John only. They later on in November played a sold out show at the Merkin Hall in New York. The latter became a MMW traders favorite.
Chas & Dave are Cockney pop rock music artists, often billed as Chas 'n' Dave or erroneously as Chaz 'n' Dave. Their full names are Charles Hodges (piano, vocals, banjo, guitars) and David Peacock (bass guitar, vocals, banjo, guitars), with Mick Burt on drums. They were regulars on British TV from 1975 onwards and had hits like "Gertcha", their first, as well as "Rabbit" and "The Sideboard Song". Their music was featured in a TV beer advertising campaign which also helped to establish them in the United Kingdom.The unique cockney style of singing was from the start intentional. They felt an alternative to the way British bands copied American accents was needed. The songs above are partly comic, and Chas 'n' Dave are identified with London pub culture. But their 1982 number 2 hit, "Ain't No Pleasing You" was a more romantic record, with strings added to the usual piano, drum and bass sound. "Rockney", the title of their 1977 album has been coined as a term for their music style. They have always done a great deal of live work, and are currently doing shows all over the UK.

Tonight, a meeting of Metallic minds which you were never supposed to hear. This is a rare Riot bootleg 7", recorded in 1993. The two tracks here were recorded during demo sessions for the band's "Nightbreaker" album, but finding themselves without a singer, guitarist Mark Reale asked old friend and JAG PANZER/TITAN FORCE vocalist HARRY "The Tyrant" CONKLIN to fill in for the recordings. These tracks show us what might have been had throat problems not forced Conklin out of the band back in 1984 after a shortlived assosciation, leaving the door open for RHETT FORRESTER to rejoin in time for "Born In America"'s recording. The two songs here were rerecorded for the "Nightbreaker" album, with new vocalist Mike DiMeo, but these harder arrangements with Conklin's awesome voice atop are a tantalizing glimpse into a "what if" scenario, that makes you wish that things had worked out differently way back when. A real treat.
Until recently I thought that Elf was Dio's first band. I was wrong. In 1957 (YES 1957!! You know Ronnie Dio IS somewhere over the age of 60) Dio formed a band with high school buddies called The Vegas Kings where he was vocals, bass and trumpet. I don't know of any existing recordings of this band. Then when starting to do gigs, changed the name to Ronnie And The Rumblers. In 1958 by request of a club owner (who didn't want fights or rumbles as they were known then to break out) they changed their name to Ronnie And The Redcaps. Released two singles under this name after adding a new vocalist Billy De Wolf. On the first single "Lover" Billy sings not Dio. The B-side is an instrumental called "Conquest" written by Dio and another band member, Nick Pantas, where Dio plays trumpet on it. Billy left the band during the same year he joined. Dio took over vocals and recorded in 1959 a single called "An Angel Is Missing" with Dio on vocals and the b-side called "What I'd Say". In 1961 they changed their name to Ronnie Dio And The Prophets where they released several singles through out the 60's (all on this comp). They also had a few cover tunes on there including "Love Potion #9" and "Will You Still Love Me". They changed their name in 1967 to the Electric Elves, then later to Elves than finally Elf. I know this is not metal but it is DIO who is a GOD vocalist in the world ! Enjoy DIO 50's/60's style!!

Dave Douglas' Keystone - Live at the Jazz Standard
Two-time Grammy-nominated trumpeter Dave Douglas is arguably the most original trumpeter/composer of his generation. From his New York base, where he has lived since the mid 1980s, he has earned lavish national and international critical acclaim, including trumpeter, composer, and jazz "Artist of the Year" by such organizations as the New York Jazz Awards, Down Beat, Jazz Times, Jazziz, and the Italian Jazz Critics' Society. His solo recording career began in 1993 with Parallel World on the Soul Note label and he has since released twenty-two CDs. In 2005, after seven critically-acclaimed albums for the Bluebird/RCA label, he launched his own label, Greenleaf Music. He was also honored with a Guggenheim Fellowship that same year. His current release, Meaning and Mystery (April 11), features his working quintet of Uri Caine, James Genus, Clarence Penn and Donny McCaslin.Besides his leading his own groups, Douglas has an important ongoing musical relationship as a member of John Zorn's Masada and with artists such as Myra Melford, Anthony Braxton, Don Byron, Joe Lovano, Uri Caine, Cibo Matto, Sean Lennon, Fred Hersch, Mark Dresser, Han Bennink, Misha Mengelberg, and Patricia Barber. For his composition, Douglas has received fellowships for his work from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, Meet the Composer, the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, Arts International, the Vooruit Culture Center, Extension Ensemble and the Library of Congress.
His latest project imagines a new soundtrack to the silent films of Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle, via an instrumental cohort of saxophone, electric keyboards, turntables, bass and drums. As Mr. Douglas and his ensemble demonstrate on a recent live recording, “Moonshine” (Greenleaf), there’s nothing musty or particularly comic about their methods.

Toots and the Maytals: legendary architects of reggae
Frederick "Toots" Hibbert founded the Maytals in the early 1960s in Kingston, Jamaica with Nathaniel "Jerry" Mathias and Raleigh Gordon. Together, they crafted some of the most important and influential songs in the history of reggae. The group’s 1968 single "Do the Reggay" is credited with giving the genre its name.
"Those days we'd just make stuff up. Anything. A bird flies around the corner, you write a song about it," says Hibbert. "So we just say 'Do the reggay, do the reggay,' and that's it. A few words, y'know? And nobody paid it any mind until it started to go all over the world. I saw it in the Guinness Book of Records. So I thank God that I did something good, and I didn't even plan it.
"There was the beat in Jamaica. Reggae was played long before I started singing. And there was a slang, like a nickname for someone who don't dress properly - like if you are barefoot, people would call you 'streggae.' They say, 'Hey, that guy is streggae, don't talk to him.' If a girl don't dress properly, like don't have on any top, they call her 'streggae.' So one morning, one Tuesday morning, we just said, 'Let's go along and do some reggae.'"
The Maytals disbanded in 1981 and Hibbert went on to work with producers Robbie Shakespeare and Sly Dunbar. Hibbert created a retooled Maytals in the early '90s and enjoyed a new surge in popularity with the 2004 release True Love. That album featured collaborations with artists like Keith Richards, Eric Clapton and Phish’s Trey Anastasio.
"All these different artists, we are friends," says Hibbert. "I feel their spirit, they feel my spirit. And a younger generation can feel our spirit. I learned that music is an endless thing, and it can modify and become huge."
The band recently won the 2005 Grammy award for reggae for the album True Love, an album consisting of re-recorded versions of their classics alongside popular and legendary musicians such as Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson, Eric Clapton, and Keith Richards, as well as popular artists today such as No Doubt, Ben Harper, The Roots, and Shaggy.
In 2006, they recorded a reggae/ska version of Radiohead's "Let Down" for the tribute album, Radiodread, by the Easy Star All-Stars. The album is a complete song for song makeover of the English rock band's album OK Computer into reggae, dub and ska. Let Down has been frequently cited by reveiwers as one of the successes of the album.
Toots and the Maytals, legendary architects of reggae, performed for a sold-out crowd at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. Hear the full concert.

Capturing the essence of folk music, Natsuki Tamura creates an acoustic session on “Strange Village” that lets him tell the stories vividly and completely. Through open trumpet, guitar, bass, and accordion, he communicates tales that stir the imagination and let the listener interpret accordingly. Each tale comes with rounded textures that belie humble surroundings where people know that they can feel at home. Slowly and deliberately, the music walks you through the streets and welcomes you with open arms.Tamura's soulful trumpet opens wide as he improvises over pretty melodies. He emphasizes passion without being overbearing about it. The focus for the album remains its casual four-part message that roams free as a bird (or cat). Each artist pours heartfelt emotion into the cauldron that represents Tamura's tale, and the mixture heats up from within. Stress? This village has none. Its music simmers peacefully on the shoulders of Tamura's open horn, Satoko Fujii's soothing accordion, Kazuhiko Tsumura's crystal-clear guitar, and Norikatsu Koreyasu's proud bass. Together, they create a picture of serenity and unity. Celebrations come and go as the quartet explores free jazz with timeless sonority. Gato Libre's free association over timeless textural territory gives this highly recommended album a warm embrace. Tamura's open trumpet seals it. His quartet has found a formula that connects the music of our ancestors with the freedom that we enjoy in today's modern society.
For a brief moment, the Rubinoos seemed to be the last hope for pure pop music, carrying on the tradition of the Raspberries with an engaging blend of innocent bubblegum and power pop. Jon Rubin and Tommy Dunbar formed the group as middle school students in Berkeley, California in 1973. In 1975, the group (now including Donn Spindt and Royse Ader) signed with Beserkley Records, an independent Berkeley label that also featured Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers and Greg Kihn. Their single "Gorilla" appeared on the first Beserkley release, the 1975 compilation album Beserkley Chartbusters. In 1977, the unknown Beserkley released The Rubinoos' self-titled debut album. It was well-reviewed, and the single "I Think We're Alone Now" reached #45 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Beserkley's first hit. The group appeared on American Bandstand (live) and So It Goes (by video). The group's next album was Back To The Drawing Board (1979), featuring the single "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend", which had been released in 1978 and received heavy airplay in England and Europe but not in America. In support of this album, the Rubinoos appeared on Rock Goes To College – Which Is posted here - and were the opening act for Elvis Costello on the American portion of his Armed Forces tour. Ader and Spindt left the group after Back To The Drawing Board. In 1983, the group, now consisting of just Rubin and Dunbar, signed with Warner Bros. Records and released the EP Party of Two, produced by Todd Rundgren. In 1984, they recorded "Revenge of the Nerds" and "Breakdown" for the film Revenge of the Nerds.

Tripdavon originally flourished in Isla Vista, where throngs of wandering revelers allow for a greater variety of musical acts. The band’s first gig had them performing at an apartment complex on Del Playa Drive for 400 I.V. partiers. They called it 25-a-Palooza. “In I.V., you have a captive audience,” guitarist Greg Doscher said. “We had people lying on their roof and listening to our first gig. It was great….The kind of energy you find in IV — you just can’t match that anywhere else.” Tripdavon Announces November Release for second album with Tool, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and System of a Down Producer. Santa Barbara, CA, October 17th, 2006 – California Rock band, Tripdavon has officially set the release date of their second full length album for November 14, 2006. The new eleven track album, titled: "The Enlightened Operative", was recorded by legendary producer, Sylvia Massy Shivy, whose credits include platinum albums from Tool, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and System of a Down.

A favourite of the bootleggers, this final concert of the stadium leg of the "We Can't Dance" tour received much exposure world-wide. It received live air play on BBC Radio 1 in the UK and also in Germany on SWF3's "Liverock" station. In addition it was broadcast twice on Sky One in the UK and was shown via satellite TV in various other countries. A futher TV rebroadcast was on UK Gold in 1993, but marred by frequent adverts. Genesis were firing on all cylinders and turned in a wonderfully energetic performance, though this comes over much more strongly on video than from sound alone. The first of the two original UK TV broadcasts was live on the air and the technicians had some problems with the sound mix. For all shows on the We Can't Dance tour, the main concert mix was provided by a Midas XL3 desk. Using direct and auxiliary outputs from this desk feeds were sent to a Mackie 1604 rack desk and a couple of microphones pointed at the audience. Broadcasting companies could tap into the Mackie 1604 and produce a stereo mix independently of the main board, tailored to their own requirements and capturing crowd noise for a more authentic live sound. In the event, for the Knebworth show, the crowd were too high in the mix and the microphones were placed too far back and pointed at the PA instead of the audience! Sound on the second broadcast (a few days later) was better, suggesting that the recording was doctored afterwards. For this to have been technically possible, the BBC must have made a multitrack recording from the Mackie 1604 independently of their live stereo broadcast mix, allowing them to produce a different stereo mix in a studio prior to rebroadcast. There are several good bootleg CDs of this show including a sneaky release which attempts to beat the competition by advertising itself as "Espace Grammont, Montpelier, 20th July 1992" [WN-EG 3-PC 12.1-2 - 2CD]. One to go for is "Summer Nights" [Kiss The Stone KTS 106-107 - 2CD] due to excellent CD mastering, though some of Phil's song intros are missing. Another fake liable to cause confusion is "But You Can Dance" [Dead Dog Records SE311 - CD] labelled as "Live Switzerland Radio" and attributed to St. Jakob Football Stadium, Basel, Switzerland 26th July 1992. Very probably, this was recorded from a Swiss broadcast of the Knebworth gig, as evidenced by the inclusion of a Swiss announcer on the CD. A couple more strange ones are "We" [Alien Sound Music] and "18 Million Dollars To Dance" [German records Gen CD 0.17 - CD] which have songs from earlier tours mixed in haphazardly. Also circulating are a great CDR transfer of the BBC Radio broadcast caught on VHS video soundtrack, and a definitive DVD version using the same soundtrack synced with a PAL video from the TV broadcast. The National Sound Archive lists a VHS cassette with sound only from the live BBC Radio 1 broadcast, presented by Anne Nightingale, where listener's record requests are followed by the Knebworth 1992 concert.
