Feist: 2004-11-11 Berlin, Germany (mp3 @ 320 kbps_SB/FM_1 CD)

As much as I hate mp3 files, when it's all I can find then I have to use them.  This is one of those rare exceptions I upload a lossy formatted show.  It is an excellent sounding and performed show and is an early look into Feist's career as "Feist" (not the parts she had in other people's bands).

This show, from Berlin, Germany, was on a Monday 8 years ago today.  I love this show and some of the tracks you do not find in other shows (or on officially released CDs either).  It has great sound and was broadcast over FM radio in Germany.

As I was locating the folder and files for this show and looking on the web for any possible artwork or photos of it, I cam across this 320 kbps version of the show.  My earlier version was a 256 kbps mp3 version so I downloaded and used the higher bitrate version (a little less lossy).  However, track 8, "Foolproof", wasn't in that download.  So I copied the track from my 256 kbps version of the show and added it to make the show complete.

If you like Feist, then you will without a doubt love this show.

If anyone has a lossless version of this show, please, please, please let me know.   A lot of my earlier Feist recordings are mp3 formatted because that was all I could find at the time.  But I am always looking for upgrades to anything I have and would greatly appreciate it!  You could share it, we could work out a trade, etc.  Just leave a comment in the comment field and I would happoily contact you as soon as I see it.

Enjoy the show...

Trumph: 1979-08-19 Chicago, IL (FLAC_SB/FM_1 CD)

This is a superb sounding Triumph show from their years before their 1980's hits that produced the songs you hear on the radio today and have for many years.  While I like many of 1980's songs better, I still love to listen to an excellent quality recording of a band I like.  And don';t get me wrong.  There are some excellent songs in this show and some you will remember hearing through the years too.

My favorites on this CD are "Hold On" and "Lay It On The Line"; songs regularly played on the radio.  I'm familiar with these "non radio friendly" songs because I have a number of 1970's - 1980's bootleg and all officially released Triumph recordings.  But if you know Triumph just from their radio played hits, this is a show worth checking out for sure.  and at this price (free), what do you have to lose?

Enjoy the show...

Heart: 1977-07-17 Los Angeles, CA (FLAC_SB/Pre-FM_1 CD)

This is an excellent sounding Heart show from 1977 that was aired over a year later for the BBC Rock Hour radio program.  This is not an off-air recording of the show.  It is a copy of the master reel (pre-FM) the show was recorded to.  It even has two Toyota 1978 car commercials in it.  The audio mix is excellent (unaltered) and the bass and high end instruments, as well as the vocals, are superb!

I've always liked Heart.  Even seeing them nowadays, they rock and sound great.  The Wilson sisters vocally sound and sing just like they did when they started in the 1970's.  And they have always been hige Led Zeppelin fans too.  I don't think I have a single concert of them where they don't do at least one Led Zeppelin cover tune (and many times two or three of them).

This is such a superb stereo recording and could/should be officially released.  I'm sure the show's broadcast was cut short as they usually are and doesn't include every song they played that day in 1977.  But they BBC Rock Hour recording definitely picked great songs to include in their broadcast.

I hope you enjoy the show...

Bob Seger And The Silver Buller Band: 1978-12-01 Chicago, IL (FLAC_AUD_2 CD)

This a a very good recording of the Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band show from Chicago Stadium in 1978.  The recording is very good but had the tape hiss that many bootleggers got in their recordings during the "tape days".  I took the liberty of remastering (slightly) the audio and removing as much hiss as I could and then working with some other audio tools to reinstate the more full, vibrant, and live show experience sound.  It definitely sounds better now than it did with the hiss.  The hiss seldom can be completely removed, but it can be cleaned up in most cases, and this is an example of that.

The song that got me to listening to Bob Seger in the 1980's was "Night Moves".  It takes me to a special place and time in my mind.  I remember living outside of Houston and having just broken up with my girlfriend, Sheil Sargent, because she was "running around".  I was young and really hurting and decided to go outside, turn on my Chevelle's  stereo, and just sit outside listening to the radio in the nighttime environment.  It was one of those fall nights where it was getting cold, but that was the perfect setting for the mood I was in too.  I could hear a train off in the distance and the sky was flickering lightning too but it was not raining.  Just then, I really heard for the first time (I'd heard the song many times before) the lyrics...

"I woke last night to the sound of thunder,
How far off I sat and wondered,
Starting humming a song from 1962 (I substituted it for 1982),
Ain't it funny how the night moves,
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose,
Ain't it strange how the night moves...with autumn closing in"

Those lyrics, to this day, remind me of that cool night out front of my house and how they spoke just what I was feeling.

I never have collected a lot of Bob Seger music, but he was/is a talented artist and he definitely had some music that hit home at times.

Anyhow; now that I've told you my life's story, I hope you enjoy the rest of the show... :-)

Led Zeppelin: 1969-10-10 Paris, France (FLAC_Pre-FM/SB_1 CD)

PREFACE:
I'm removing this show's link for downloading due to the official release of this show scheduled for next month by Led Zeppelin.  I don't know if it might sound any better than this version, but I look forward to hearing it and finding out!

This is an excellent copy of a Led Zeppelin show originally aired on BBC2 back in November of 1969.  In December of 2007, just prior to the Led Zeppelin O2 Arena reunion show in London, it was aired again.  From all of the different labels and versions of this show I have listened to, this one is the very best.  The quality if excellent!

This is normally a 2 CD set where CD 2 is the same show (not nearly as great sounding as this recording) and contains the commercials and everything aired over the radio when it was broadcast.  But when I got my copy of this 2 CD set, there was just the pre-FM, excellent CD 1 available.  I know I can go out on the web and find the second CD, and one day, I just might do that!

REMOVED LINK ON 2014-05-06 DUE TO THE UPCOMING OFFICIAL RELEASE OF THIS SHOW NEXT MONTH!  I HOPE THIS HAPPENS MORE OFTEN :-)

One thing cracked me up as I was listening to this show playing in the living room while creating this upload.  It was during "How Many More Times" (always a medley containing many other songs too). As I was listening, I heard Robert Plant at the point where he's singing "...I want that girl, oh my, my my; but she's been with Aynsley Dunbar and that just ain't right".  For those of you that don't know me; I like Journey and I like Led Zeppelin.  Dunbar was the drummer for Journey up through early 1978 when Steve Smith took over.  It was amusing to me to hear Plant mentioning a Journey member a few years before Journey was ever formed.  And yes, I do know that Dunbar was with a lot of bands through the years and was most likely with a band that at least caught Plant's attention (be it good or bad?) enough to mention him in the song.

Anyways, this is a really excellent sounding and performed show of Led Zeppelin about one year after they started as "Led Zeppelin".  This is a small download, a great show, and a must have if you like Led Zeppelin and don't have this one (even if you have other versions of it...it's that much better sounding).

So, I hope you enjoy the show...

This, as with all her shows, is another great performance by Feist and her band.  The length of this show is about 25 minutes longer than when I saw her four months earlier in Dallas.  She performs a few extra songs that I don't think made it into her setlist in other shows (at least not often) during the 2011/2012 Metals Tour.

At one point she calls out a bootlegger filming the show and takes their camera and films the audience before giving it back to the person.  She has always been camera shy (I cannot figure out why) and that has been mentioned by her as well as reviewers in articles.

My reasons for remastering the audio were simply to fit my listening "likes".  The original files sounded great and I just wanted to try and make it a little better.  There is some hiss in the original files that I could not remove without damaging the overall sound in the end, but it is nothing too bad and it doesn't take away from the show either.  I cleaned it up as much as I was able to.

A special thanks goes out to "Millslane" for recording the show and sharing it and to "Pilgerman" for creating the artwork for the 2 CD set.  I like to see projects like this one where like-minded people join together to help each other out!

Enjoy the show...

Journey: 1981-07-31 Tokyo, Japan (Pro Shot DL DVD)

In celebration of a great (and now legitimately released since 2005) Journey concert from 31 years ago today in Houston, here's another never before released concert from Journey just three months and one week earlier than the officially released Houston Summit show.  I'd love to see Journey release this one too!

This upload is of a great remastering job of the Journey 1981 Tokyo concert.  This is a double layer (DL) DVD and not a regular DVD+/-R disc.  Many programs will compress the video and it can be burned to a regular DVD+/-R, but why would anyone want to do that?  It's much better to go out and buy a DL DVD and not compress the files to fit on a standard, regular recordable disc.

This is definitely the best copy of this show I have seen or have in my collection.  And I have seen (and have) a lot of versions over a lot of years :-)  This project, created by a fan, was put out about 3 - 4 years ago but has been very difficult to locate in this lossless format.  A special thanks goes out to Snivlle Remastered Edition for taking the time to build this project and everything that goes along with doing this.  It takes a lot of time and a lot more "getting it right" and this is a very well built and cleaned up end product.  You'll enjoy it if you download it!

Like I mentioned, I've seen this DVD out there before but I was always a little too late to get it.  Thankfully, when I was out of town last week, a friend from Budapest and on a forum we are both on saw it pop up just before the moderators yanked it from the site.  He was able to download it first and uploaded it file by file for me to download and get.  Thanks for grabbing it and sending it Istvan!

As for the "yanking it" on the forum goes, it had nothing to do with it being illegal or anything like that.  Some forums are super strict (which is not as bad as it may sound) about certain things.  The forum it was downloaded from removed it because the video was re-encoded and they do not allow that.  Under most circumstances, I like that policy.  But sometimes, as with this DVD, I wish that wasn't the case because this is the definitive copy of this show that is out there (as far as what has surfaced) and it'd be a shame to miss out on this one.  This is an excellent DVD and is definitely an improvement over the source video/DVD it came from.

So, enjoy the Tokyo 1981 Journey show for yourself and see what you think!  And if you want some more Journey, then put in your officially released and bought copy of the 1981-11-06 Houston show (or go buy it if you don't have it yet :-))...
