Live at Park West in Chicago August 24th, 1978. Johnny and his band play a great set of blues and blues-rock.

A rousing high-energy show with great radio broadcast sound quality from Joe's first American Tour in 1979, in support of his debut album "Look Sharp!", where he also previews a few songs from his 2nd album, I'm the Man ('Friday', 'Kinda Kute', 'I'm the Man'), which would be released later that year, as well as some interesting covers (The Maytal's 'Pressure Drop', Chuck Berry's 'Come On'). In this show it's easy to see how and why he made such a vivid impression on the late-70's music scene with his mixture of punk, rock, pop, and classic styles.

One of the great figures in the history of soul and funk music captured live in Germany in 1983. This is a double LP set of Gill Scott Heron and his eight piece band. Amnesia Express was a fine collective with reeds, trumpet, bass, percussion, drums and Gil Scott-Heron himself on Fender Rhodes piano and vocals. The album opens with a breathtaking solo performance of "We Almost Lost Detroit" and includes, among others, another masterpiece, "Winter in America". No words, just deep soulful and politically conscious music at its best.

Château d’Hérouville is a residential recording studio in Hérouville, France made famous by Elton John, who recorded three albums at the studios, (Honky Château, Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only The Piano Player and Goodbye Yellowbrick Road). Marc Bolan, Gong, David Bowie, Bad Company, Iggy Pop, Fleetwood Mac… there is a long, long list of groups who have recorded there. It was once home to Chopin and Vincent van Gogh apparently painted part of the building.
The Grateful Dead did not record in the famous studio, per se, but they did perform a locally legendary impromptu gig there on June 21, 1971. In The Dead Book: A Social History Of The Grateful Dead, Hank Harrison (Courtney Love’s estranged father), briefly a manager of the group, wrote: “The Dead started to play just before the sky got dark, but their entire set was illuminated by bright lights from the Paris socialized television station Link Two, which rebroadcast the event the next week. Their film technique was flawless, as one would expect from a French film team; the camera people were completely unobtrusive on the musicians; the lights bugged Phil a little. Pig Pen just barely recovered in time to sing after downing his two bottles of duty free Wild Turkey… Weir was in fine primal scream voice, and Garcia settled into his trancelike lassitude from which emanates the famous electronic genius that is particularly his.”

This document finds Australian rock legends AC/DC at the height of their powers, playing a tiny venue in the Midwestern U.S. shortly after the release of Let There Be Rock. Frontman Bon Scott leads the band through just seven raw and randy tunes, but the energy and excitement of the gig is palpable, especially on extended versions of studio tracks like The Jack.

Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac consisting of Peter Green (guitar/vocals), Danny Kirwan (guitar/vocals), Jeremy Spencer (guitar/vocals), John McVie (bass) and Mick Fleetwood (drums) performing live at the BBC in London, England in January of 1970. The 8-song set is highlighted by the band's takes on Green's "Rattlesnake Shake" and the Jerry Lee Lewis hit "Great Balls of Fire."

Janis recorded live in Amsterdam, April 1969 with her appearances at the Dick Cavett's, Tom Jones', and 'Music Scene' TV Shows between 1969 and 1970 added as bonus. Great live recording!

The band who mostly represented the missing link between the proto-punk scene of MC5, Stooges and NY Dolls, with the punk explosion of the 70's. Recorded live at the temple of rock 'n' roll in NYC, May 1977. Radio broadcast with remastered sound.

After playing a selection of showcases in Europe at the start of the year and taking time-out to record their second album in the Bahamas - the group were amidst a tour criss-crossing the USA from New York to Los Angeles.

Frank Zappa at one of the very peaks of his genius! The 1975 version of the Mothers of Invention was an extremely tight combo featuring Napoleon Murphy Brock (saxophones), Roy Estrada (bass, vocals), Andre Lewis (keyboards), and the young and already fabulous Terry Bozzio on drums The band was in superb form as was Zappa himself on guitar and vocals. The chosen repertoire was a great mix of both old songs such as "Duke of Prunes" and new material, including a very rare performance of "Sleep Dirt". A must for all Zappa fans!

This album shows Megadeth in full action at the Great Olympic Auditorium in their hometown of Los Angeles on February 25, 1995 as part of the gigantic worldwide "Youthanasia" tour. This was when the band was at the absolute peak of its live energy. A breathtaking set-list full of brutal hits such as "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due", "In My Darkest Hour", "Sweating Bullets", "Mechanix", and the closing "Symphony of Destruction".

Another crucial Allman Brothers live recording from the final night at Bill Graham's legendary Fillmore East concert hall in Manhattan in 1971. After an incredible array of artists, from Albert King to the Beach Boys and Country Joe McDonald, the Allmans got on stage at 2.30am and performed one of their most iconic gigs ever! What more do we need to say?

1974 performance of Fleetwood Mac at the Record Plant in Sausalito. Led by Bob Welch and Christine McVie, performing some of their finest material of that era, along with several tributes to the departed original leader of the band, Peter Green. Broadcast on KSAN-FM San Francisco CA, with introduction by Tom Donahue.

Following the release of their breakout smash hit eponymous LP in July of 1975, Fleetwood Mac performed a historic live show at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ. The group with the addition of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks had been together less than a year but they were already known as one of the tightest live bands around. Featuring cuts from McVie / Welch era LPs like Bare Trees, and Mystery To Me, earlier stuff like Kiln House, the classic Buckingham Nicks LP, and, of course, Fleetwood Mac, this show is a tour de force and one of the finest from the 1975 tour.
