I'm Just A Link In Your Chain...

 

An unreleased album from 2001 by The Majesticaires  
other wise know as the Company Of Snakes. 
Features former Whitesnake members 
Micky Moody,Bernie Marsden and Neil Murray.
It appears from reading the text that 
this album was a corporate giveaway to the Buckingham group,
a UK construction company's, workers.
 The recording has a light soulful blues rock sound to it.

Tracks 4 & 9 are omitted,they are available on other albums.

I'm Always Takin' The Lead...

 

Deep Purple BBC transmission tapes 1974 live concert LP bootleg.
A friend of mine managed to get hold 
of a vinyl copy of this
 (wouldn't tell me how) a few years back.
And ripped it to an mp3 audio. 
The sound on this is really excellent 
and in my opinion better than the official releases,
even though it's not the full show  
57 minutes of mk3 at their best.

And Watch The Band Kick Back And Play...

 

Now the word legend gets thrown around too easily 
these days but I think in this case it can be fully justified,
with an amazing career he is still 
treading the boards and with tonight's 
packed out crowd he will be around for a few years yet...
having never seen him before I was quite 
shocked just to how good his voice is and me 
being Mr. Sceptical I was on the lookout for any 
trickery coming from the mixing desk.
But no,he was truly singing live and it was such a joy to witness.
Not my favorite era of Deep Purple 
but performance wise tonight was off the scale 
and lastly at 72 years old after years of 
well documented drug & alcohol 
abuse he can still sing and look that good...
amazing... jeez pass me a whiskey and the crack pipe...
enjoy,Ed.

Ghost Rider,Riding By Her Side...

 

Gothic Rock...to be honest it's not a genre 
I'm really familiar with but I do like 
what these guys do,dark but with that commerciality 
that really appeals to me and make their songs very 
accessible but still with that doom & gloom the Goths love.
Packed crowd tonight
in one of my favourite London venues 
and looking around these Goths know how to dress up 
and I think I was the only one 
without any make up on...top night...enjoy,Ed.

Excellent sounding dvd audio rip from the 1998 UK Tour.
