Roger Daltrey - Live 12/04/85 Constitution Hall, Washington, D.C. (REPOSTED 01/13/13)


Great energetic set from one of rock's premier vocalists. Found in fairly rare (for that period anyway) solo performance from 1985. He was promoting his excellent "Under A Raging Moon" album, so includes several songs from it as well as a few Who classics (surprise surprise).
Sound quality is pretty much a 10, as it was recorded for the King Biscuit series. Not sure if it was ever released on a major label (?) - can't see it listed on Amazon.
Band includes Clem Clemson on guitar (Humble Pie), as well as guest apperance from Russ Ballard who sings lead on "Your Time Is Gonna Come".
Tracks are as follows:
01) Martyrs and Madmen
02) Don't Talk To Stangers
03) Breaking Down Paradise
04) Move Better In The Night
05) Substitute
06) Your Time Is Gonna Come
07) The Pride You Hide
08) Behind Blues Eyes/5:15
09) Let Me Down Easy
10) Rebel
11) Voices
12) Giving It All Away
13) Won't Get Fooled Again
14) After The Fire
15) Under A Raging Moon
16) Free Me
17) Summertime Blues/C'mon Everybody
NOTE: full show here is about 1:42, so might be too much for many to take it. I just posted full show for completest in the crowd. Personally, I'm going to trim this down to under an hour to put on a CD.

U2 "Duets" (REPOST)



Hopefully you can read the trax above - the graphics on back tray of this were terrible. I got this one in same order with "Jesus Is A Cool Guy". When I saw the track listing on here, I just couldn't resist!

Again, mostly audience recordings here so quality varies but still a damn fine listen. Some of them you really wish had been a most pristine quality. But then again, that's the way a good boot should be.

My faves on here: "Miss Sarajevo" with Pavarotti (I think released legit at some point?), "People Get Ready" with Maria McKee (LOVE HER!!), and "When Love Comes To Town" with Keith Richards (how could this NOT be great?).
Enjoy....

U2 - Jesus Was A Cool Guy (REPOST)



An interesting little boot I mailed away for (!!) many years ago. It's been a long time since I played this, and really enjoyed hearing it again.

For the fantics in the crowd, subtitle on this is "100% pure Live Acoustic Sound/Vol.2". And before you ask, no I don't have Vol.1.

Interesting collection here of fairly rare acoustic or rearranged versions, including some radio appearances. As expected, quality is all over the road but most of this is pretty listenable.

My fave tracks = "Lost Highway", "Springhill Mining Disaster" and "Can't Help Falling In Love". As a side note, you get a real feeling from this collection the band was having fun, and had a real loose sense of humour out there most nights. I wonder if they haven't lost that recently?? Although I must admit I haven't seen the latest tour.....

Anyhow, enjoy......
