Diamond In The Rough...

Here's a Band I Really Don't Know Much At All About... I DO Remember the name Paul Shortino for some reason? He was the singer! So I Wiki'ed them, and It seems Everyone was always leavin' Mr. Shortino to go on to bigger and better things.  And some of the songs on this bootleg were co-written by Ronnie James and Wendy Dio!

Members :
Paul Shortino
Dave Alford
Matt Thorr
Chris Hager
Amir Derakh

Past Members :  
Jake E. Lee
Craig Goldy
Joey Cristofanilli
Claude Schnell
Parramore McCarty
Jimmy Crespo
J.T. Garrett
Sean McNabb
Jeff Mayer
John Homan

Associated acts :  
Mickey Ratt/Ratt, Magic, Vengeance, Giuffria, Orgy, Julien-K, Dead by Sunrise,
Jailhouse, Quiet Riot, Dio, Warrior, Jag Wire, Ozzy Osbourne, Badlands,
Aerosmith, Magnitude 9

Ronnie James Dio greatly influenced the development of the band. Dio’s wife Wendy Dio was the group’s manager...

The Band At The Time Of This Recording Was Apparently:
*Mk. 3 (1984-1987)
Paul Shortino: Lead Vocals
Dave Alford: Drums and Vocals
Amir Derakh: Guitar
Chris Hager: Guitar
Matt Thorr: Bass

Excellent Soundin' FM Radio Broadcast!

A Pair Of .45s Really Opened My Eyes...

NOTE: For Those Relatively New To Hear Rock City, You'll Notice smoker and I Use Song Lyrics and Such Things as Titles for The Posts. That's Something I started Back in 2003 (I Think? ifool would know...) I thought It Would Be better than just Listing The Name Of The Band Or Whatnot as the Title Of The Post (Well, Except for My First Post, Which I unimaginatively named "My First Post.") And It's Just Another Of Those Traditions That have become the HRC Way!

Here's a Great Concert From The Late 80s!
It's L.A. Guns (You Can look up the Family Tree on How they're related to G'N'R and Other L.A. Bands If You Want - Probably looks more like a schematic of some strange machinery instead of a tree!)
L.A. Guns had the Sleezy, Bloozy Rock Music Down And They Also Had Something Many of the Other Bands Didn't Have - Phil Lewis!
They shoulda been More Popular than They Were, But Always seemed to Live in the Shadow Of G'N'R...
Anyway, this Is an Excellent FM Radio Broadcast From The Orpheum in Boston! Do What Ya Want With It!

Kill! Kill!

Whilst We're on the Subject of 80s Hair Bands (Oh! Were We?)...
Here's a Band that had their 15 minutes back Then!
Faster Pussycat!

The Band Got Their Name From This 1965 Russ Meyer Movie (Filled with gratuitous Sex and Violence, But Oddly Enough, No Nudity!)
I DO remember hearin' "Bathroom Wall" on the radio quite a bit...
So they were the Flavor of the Month for awhile...
I don't mean Anything Bad about this Band - Don't Take me Wrong, But DAMN! There were So Many Bands that fit this kinda mold (Almost, They had their differences - But much the same style!)
I just scanned & skipped through this one - Sound Quality seemed Good (I Believe It's a Really Good AUD Recording, But I Really Don't Remember, So You'll Have To Take Your Chances!) and I was impressed with the covers They chose to play...
So, If You Like It Get It, If Not Let It Pass On By...

Faster Pussycat - Toronto87

Ratts In The Cellar...

How's That for Service...
Someone just requested Ratt from the 80s And Here they Are - Live from Monsters Of Rock!
I had this one ready, for some reason?
Because the thing is, and You can Blast me If You Want, But I'm not really a fan of Ratt! They never really did anything for me...Didn't hate 'em, didn't really like 'em!
Think I did have the Invasion Of Privacy LP back then, But didn't give it much play!

But, as I've said Many times Before - Everything on here Is NOT for Me - I'm Not so egocentric to ONLY post things I Like!
So, If You're a Ratt Fan (You Probably Have This One) But If Not, Ya Might Wanna Give It a Try!
Great Sound!
Great Setlist!
Great Performance!

Son Of The God Of Thunder!

Here's something Pretty Cool!
Jason Bonham and His Band Simply Titled BONHAM...LIVE!
Recorded in New York City at The Cat Club, from 1989!
It's an Excellent FM Radio Broadcast Recording!
While the Music does have a Zeppelin-esque Quality to some of the some songs, and the Lead Singer does try a little Plant-Like Vocals from time to time, there are NO Zep Covers Played! Oddly enough Bonham does do a Beatles cover - Come Together!
If you've followed Jason's career any at all - You WILL Want This!

Tomorrow on Today, We Talk About Yesterday...

***************This Is A REPOST**************
(Originally Posted April 4th, 2009)
I wanted to pull this one up front...NOT 'cause I don't have a bunch of New Ones to Post, But, 'Cause since this was posted, HRC has picked up New Rockers and Visitors!
For ANY Y&T Fan This Is a Treasure!
D/L This One NOW!
NOTE: Now, We Can't Possibly Re-Post Every Show Shown Here on the Blog - I wished We Could and Have Tried Hard - But It's Just Not Possible! (There are more than 2000 posts, many with multiple bootlegs, and they just ALL Can't be maintained when many of the Re-Posted Links literally last only hours!)
SO, There's Gonna Have to Be Some Changes to the Blog...My Main Man, smoker, and I have been discussing How to Handle this and How to Move Forward, Etc.
Stay Tuned!
Rocket
********************************************

Here's an Old One from the Old Waldorf in San Francisco...
Y & T back when they were still going by YESTERDAY AND TODAY!

Check the Price of the Show pictured above...
I still remember buying their first record at a Used Record Store 'Cause the Cover Looked Cool - Like these guys Knew How to Rock - Boy, Was that a good move on my part!

This IS a Very Decent AUD Recording...
PLUS, Hell it's Old Y & T Live & Loud Rockin' out tunes from back to their first 2 LPs...
And some from "Earthshaker!"
Songs like Hurricane (Twice), 25 Hours A Day, Nasty Sadie and Even a Cool Rendition of Leonard's Alcohol!
AND, a Too Cool Rock N Roll Medley that just has to be heard to be believed!

Lights Out In Milan

More from Buckeye!!

"Decent (not great) audience recording of UFO from Milan, IT 2/21/83.
What makes this one interesting is Billy Sheehan on bass after Pete Way split to do Fastway,
and then split with them to tour with Ozzy.
Imagine the possibilities if they would have done an album with Sheehan on bass."
http://www3.zippyshare.com/v/62023663/file.html

Cheers Buck!!

The Other One Just MIRRORs It...

Blue Öyster Cult from the Mirrors Tour - 1979!
It's an AUD Recording - Not the Best ever was But not the worst, either...It's a Very Decent Listen! It's a Fairly Clear AUD recording, Not Muddy like some, Also, It doesn't sound Distant as many do...
It's valuable to ME, especially, 'cause of "You're Not The One (I Was Looking For)"... which was played rarely before being dropped from the setlist...
Matter of Fact, I have ONLY 2 Concert Recordings - This One and Another One That Have This Song!
Here's a Sample from the July Show at Alpine Valley (So you can judge the Sound Quality, Etc.):
04 Mirrors.mp3
http://www16.zippyshare.com/v/48770218/file.html
I saw them later in the year (September 5th {I looked it up!}) on this tour [Nantucket opened up for them!] AND It's STILL one of the Best Concerts I've Ever Been to!
You can Listen to the Sample or D/L it and Rate This AUD Recording in the COMMENTS Section, or Shout Box for Others, If You Want? ME, I'm NOT Good with rating them, that's why I usually Describe them OR include a Sample!
NOTE: I experimented with Uploadin' this show (Don't Expect this On ALL Of Them!) and out of the ones I Upped to, I have to say, MEGA uploaded the Fastest!
Excellent Setlist!
Yeah, I know what you're thinkin', Too Bad it's NOT a FM or SBD, But we'll Take What We Can Get!
Below are the LINKS with Mirrors (to Several File Hosts!)...

Roger, Wilco!

Wilco was formed out of the ashes of the great Uncle Tupelo...
Jeff Tweety formed Wilco (Takin' most of UT with him) While Jay Farrar formed Son Volt...
Most Folks Come Down in One Camp Or The Other - Usually NOT Both!
I, myself, am of the Jay/Son Volt Side of things...
But for You Wilco Fans - Here's an Early Show from 1995! (Remember UT Played their Last Show in '94...) Jeff & Company do a Few UT Songs along with their Originals from their first couple CDs!
Excellent SBD recorded in Minneapolis at the First Avenue...

Bright Lights, Big City...

Here's Some More Dwight Yoakam for those that like This Kinda Thing!
Live from Boston's The Channel back in 1987!
It was broadcast on WCAV-FM!
Great Setlist of Songs from His First Couple Of LPs + Some Covers...
Dwight's Originally from "Not Far" from Hear Rock City and He Writes About The Area in Readin', Rightin', Route 23 (Which runs North-South through these parts - Most folks in these parts just call it the "4 Lane")
Also, Miner's Prayer is about Coal Miners (Which there used to be a lot of in these parts - Technology, Demand and Non-Union Outfits have Lessened the Number Considerably...)
Anyway, Enjoy The Down-Home Country Twang!

Mo' Joe...

Thanks to FEELGOOD for the LINKS dropped in the COMMENTS Section (You DO Check The COMMENTS Section, Don't Cho?) And to Big O for Supplying the Music!

This is an Album Joe Recorded in 1987, But was Never Released...Not sure Why? Whether He or The Record Label Didn't Dig It, But It's Quite Good! Some Of The Songs Were Re-Recorded Later For The Dig All Night Release...Also, Linda Ronstadt sings on Where Is My Love?
