Sears, Schon, Errico (with Rolie): 1973-01-01 Honolulu, HI (FLAC_AUD 1st Gen_1 CD)

Here is a very rare (I didn't even know about it myself until two days ago) and historic show from Journey's Neal Schon and Gregg Rolie during their transition year between Santana and the formation of Journey.  This is an excellent audience recording and I left the whole show intact just as I got it from Dime.  It doesn't have track names, but it has the file fingerprint file, technical notes on transfer, no SBE's, and it has basic artwork too!  It's also in nicely separated stereo too. I added the md5 checksum file since it did not have one of those.  Thanks to "alien156" for sharing this on Dime!

There is some light master cassette crackling on tracks 4 - 6, but it isn't the type that ruins a recording or show.  I got three tracks from this show a few days ago in another great Journey recording.  They were added on as bonus tracks to that recording.  But this is the full show and it's from a very low (1st generation) copy of the master source.

While Gregg Rolie, Santana and Journey keyboardist and vocalist, was not a member of this band, he made a guest appearance for this show.  Neal Schon and Gregg Rolie were friends and Rolie is how Schon was introduced to Santana in 1969 and became a member at the age of 15.  Rolie and Schnon had left Santana in 1972 with Herbbie Herbert (the Santana manager and "to be" Journey manager).  And during the year in between leaving Santana and getting Journey started, Neal Schon was in this short-lived band.  You can hear the beginnings of the fusion-rock, first few Journey (pre-Steve Perry I might add) sounds Neal Schon and Gregg Rolie (founding members of Journey) were moving towards.  There is very little singing in this show and it's mostly just rock 'n' roll playing without the singing.  It's unclear how many tracks Gregg Rolie played on in this show, but he definitely is on a few of them if not all of them.

If you're a Journey fan, you'll want to check this one out...

Led Zeppelin: 1971-09-04 Toronto, Ontario, Canada (FLAC_AUD 2nd Gen_2 CD)

Here is the show I accidentally uploaded as "1970-09-04" last week and then realized what I'd done later in the day.  I was a year off when I uploaded the Inglewood 1970-09-04 show (it was this 1971-09-04 show)!  Anyhow, since I've already got this one uploaded now, I might as well share it too as I correct the 1970-09-04 show's entry with the right links.  This is a great sounding show and I know any Led Zeppelin fan should enjoy it!

I haven't changed anything since this upload already has the md5 checksum file and the ffp file too.

I have so many versions of this show that vary from partial soundboard versions to more complete soundboard version and audience versions as well as soundboard and audience versions.  I've even got an LP version :-)  I'll upload some of the soundboard versions (one in specific) at a later date.  But this audience version is great and it runs at the correct speed too.

I hope you enjoy the show...

Led Zeppelin: 1970-09-04 Inglewood, CA (FLAC_2nd Gen AUD_Source 5_2 CD)

This is an almost soundboard sounding, excellent copy of the 5th source known in existence (out of 6 sources I believe) recording of Led Zeppelin's show in Inglewood, CA from this night in 1970.  This is by far the best copy I've heard so far.  The sound is very well balanced and the band is on fire this night.  And there are a few rarities in the songs (the medley parts) they played on this September night just over 43 years ago too.  I highly recommend this one!

I got this show from the R-O server about a week ago and I'm leaving it as is.  The tracks aren't named and I did not name them.  I did create a checksum file and a file fingerprint file since the original file set didn't have either and I checked for any lossiness in the audio and there was none.  But other than the two files I created and checking the audio, I'm not changing a thing in this upload.  This enables me to upload this show faster than going through my usual routines (and spending the time) doing all of this stuff myself like I usually do.

I highly recommend checking this show out because it is very, very good...

Sara Bareilles: 2013-09-21 Grand Prairie, TX (FLAC_Bootradr Master Source 1_1 CD)

Everyone who knows me knows I'm a classic rock 'n' roll kind of guy.  But we all have our guilty pleasures, and Sara Bareilles' voice and many of her songs are one of my guilty pleasures.  She has an incredible voice, is hotter than an iron, and she and her band put on excellent live shows.  Her live performances are much better than her official studio releases in my opinion (and her studio releases are great too!).  And last night's show was no exception.

The only downside to last night's show was it was the final show this tour before she starts her headlining tour.  In other words, her show didn't run as long as the rest of the shows this year will because there were a total of 5 acts playing and Sara Bareilles and New Republic were the main acts.  She was the second from last act and the show ran approximately one hour.  But it was great and I got a great recording too!

I had an excellent seat on the 5th row, stage right in front of the stacks.  The venue was packed too but this great seating weeds out 90% of crowd noise even in between the songs.

As many of you might know, I am legally blind.  And since I am, I use this to my advantage when it comes to concert going.  I called up Verizon Theatre before going to the show and asked them if I could come early and get assistance in finding my seat.  There were very supportive and very kind people working last night, and while I don't know for sure, asking for this help may have helped me get the recording I made as well as not shut down in picture taking like the lady to my left had to.  I had a digital recorder hanging around my neck, another digital recorder with an external microphone (this source) and I was holding the microphone, a camera bag, and a very nice Cannon camera I was shooting photos and HD video with.  I was seated at the very end of my 5th row seat with a small walkway to my right just wide enough for security to walk up and down and a set of railings for them to hold on to.  Just shortly into the show, I was approached by a security guard and I thought he was saying I couldn't use it (the camera).  I really didn't hear him but was attempting to ignore him too.  But he got my attention and told the lady to my left she could not use her camera (about as nice as mine).  He told me "your camera is OK :-)  I'm thinking "what"?  Just near the end of the song "Gravity", either the same employee of another one came up and said "Hey"!  Again, I thought I was getting told to shut down.  I tried explaining I'd already been told I could use the camera and the guy said "No, not you, get her" (or something like that).  You can hear part of the short conversation in the quiet ending of "Gravity".  I have no idea if this guy knew of my being legally blind and was just being cool or even why he didn't say anything about the audio recorders I had too.  But he didn't!  I was between him and the lady and her friends he (or they) was (or were) telling to put their camera away and stop using it.  It's my opinion it probably was the same guy and he was just being cool knowing that even though I could've thrown a feather and hit the artist, I couldn't see very well and he allowed me to do what I was doing.  But I really do not know?  All I know is that every venue employee I dealt with from the time I got there early until I walked out the door leaving was extremely nice and helpful.  And I want to thank them for that here!

So, that was my night last night and it was a great one.  The show was great, the sound I captured was great, and I had a great night all of the way around!

I hope you can enjoy my guilty pleasure as much as I did last night...
