Note:
- Each set has had some extensive work done on it by ledwhofloyd to make it so listenable. The notes about this work is included in each set's folder. The set folders have been left as torrented on Dime, no changes at all.

It's a bright Autumn Sunday morning here in Michigan. There is a nice breeze helping the trees shed their leaves. I thought "It's a great morning for The Pat Metheny Group". So I turned on the early show from this set. Ate 2 sativa gummies while making my coffee (gotta love legal recreational marijuana). Made myself a large mug of coffee and set about getting Rosebud ready for her work day. I made her a travel mug of coffee then packed a lunch and snack for her breaks. I baked a homemade chicken pot pie for dinner last night, so I packed her a slice.

When she came downstairs she heard the Pat Metheny show and asked "You posting this?" to which I asked "should I?" she replied "Absolutely!" so this is a Rosebud approved Jazz On Sunday Morning offering. We both hope you enjoy it on your Sunday.

My Favorite Country Music Singer Of All Time Has Passed Away At Age 71 no cause of death has been announced.

I became aware of John Anderson like most other people, when "Swingin" came on the radio while in the car. I was in High School and riding in my best friend in life's car heading to pick up our girlfriends. The four of us attended the same church three nights a week, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was called Teen Devotional and was just an hour discussion then we would all go shoot pool, bowl, go to the video arcade or a teen club to see live music. Our Youth Director would pay for the night, including food. My friend and our dates would stop at a store where if you lay your car keys on the counter and they would sell you beer or wine. If you tried to buy whiskey they would ask for ID. We would buy 4 bottles of cheap wine, MD 20/20 or Thunderbird, before hitting the church. We would smoke a couple joints, drink some wine, go to church then go out with the group and get buzzed while we partied with our church group. Anyway we heard "Swingin" three times that night, so I bought the album the next day.

justdave's notes:
I downloaded this years ago, upon first listen I noticed gaps between songs. I have gone through and removed all the gaps and one drop-out. I re-encoded the waves back to MP3.

As we pay Tribute To Rosebud's Favorite Singers we have to included her favorite Country Music singer John Anderson. When Rosebud and I first began to see each other she new very little about Country Music. She new her Dad loved Merle Haggard but couldn't tell Alabama from Willie Nelson. The 1st time I got any reaction out of her about a Country Artist was when I played John Anderson's Seminole Wind album. She listened along with me ad after the last song, "Seminole Wind" was over then asked if I would play it again. I started the song over and she quickly said "No, the whole CD". So I did. As we sat smoking a joint she remarked how much she liked his voice. When the CD finished she asked how many of John's CDs I own. I told her 12, not counting the Greatest Hits collections. So over the next few days I played her every John Anderson CD I own. She is a huge fan of his music and rich distinctive voice. She can tell the difference between Merle Haggard & Willie Nelson now. Unfortunately she can't tell Hank Williams Jr. from Chris Stapleton.

This is one of the most complete soundboards from this era of Frank Marino that I have. It is missing very little of the music performed that night. Most of the soundboards from this era miss the beginning of the show and cut off before the end. Although it is not marked so, my guess is that it came from Luciferburns at The Trader's Den. The majority of quality Frank Marino shows come from his collection.

justdave's notes:
DVD was downloaded from the web. I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to raise and even out the volume of tracks as much as possible, and index tracks. I then had to remove gaps in the tracks themselves. I had to remove it seemed at least 6 gaps per track. Once the gaps were removed and the track spliced back together it seems as if there was no loss of music. The DVD had lossy audio so I encoded the waves to MP3 320 using Trader's Little Helper.

Another mutual love of Rosebud & I. We have been to every Chicago concert at Pine Knob Amphitheater since our first summer together. This is her 2nd Rosebud Pick for 2022 and it's an awesome one too. I almost gave this audio rip the title of "A Night Of Hits With Peter Cetera". I listed all the chart positions for each song. Wow!! The man has had many hits over the span of his career. Peter Cetera soundboards (let alone bootlegs) are a little rare so if you are a Chicago fan or just a Peter Cetera fan you have to have this show!!

Two songs from the live set are omitted from this release: "Life On Mars?" which opened the show and "Rebel Rebel" which was performed after "Changes".

Not only is this a nice sounding recording but it has an interesting set list. As Bowie himself jokes there are a few songs that haven't been played in a while. It's nice to see Page Hamilton get the guitar nod from Bowie. Bowie has had some greats on stage & record with him including: Mick Ronson, Jeff Beck, Peter Frampton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Adrian Belew, & Reeves Gabrels. I am a fan of Helmet and think Page Hamilton is a very good guitar player. You will not be disappointed if you download this one for your collection, trust me.

Did not know there was actually a Pre-FM recording from the Black & Blue Tour till I found this (not really sure how long ago). When Rosebud & I came together we bond on our mutual love of all things Black Sabbath & Heavy Metal. I tell this story a lot, but I asked Rosebud to marry me at a Pantera, Black Sabbath concert. It was during the song "Becoming" by Pantera. I look over and see my 5foot 2inch girlfriend had her fist in the air singing along to the chorus "I'm born again with snake eyes, becoming God size" and I said "Please marry me", there was a couple next to us that heard Rosebud say yes and smoked a joint with us. It was a great night. This is Rosebud's 1st Rosebud Pick of 2022!! What a way to start!!

The Modern Jazz Quartet a favorite of Rosebud's (I do love them too). She likes her Jazz to as she says "sound like they are all playing the same song". She loves The MJQ's combination of piano and vibes, the fact you can "chill to it with a glass of wine" but it will not put you to sleep. I love her way of explaining what she likes. No knowledge of music theory just the pure enjoyment of the music itself and how it moves her. There are a lot of us, and I do include myself here, who have studied music music in depth that sometimes forget to just let it move us and enjoy the music...Enjoy your Sunday Morning Jazz!

Dee Murray died January 15, 1992 from complications of a stroke and skin cancer, he was 45.

I was listening to this show when Rosebud says to me "Post that one with my approval". So another great Rosebud Pick. This show is the same as on the bootleg The Madman Shakes Tokyo, I do not know if they are the same source though. If you don't have a copy you should because the show is fabulous with a capitol F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S! These early shows that Elton used to play with a very stripped down band are always a pleasure to hear. I just re-watched To Russia With Elton (for the unknown number of times now) it's amazing. Just Elton John at the piano and Ray Cooper providing different percussion for all the songs. The first time I saw it was late night on some UHF-TV station that you could only tune in at night when there was less interference for the signal because the 3 major stations had signed off for the night. It blew me away then and it still does today, at about 80db through my speakers that my kids call Stonehenge, LOL!!

Geoff Tate vocals
Kelly Gray guitar

Pre-Queensrÿche recordings from Geoff Tate & Kelly Gray during their time in Myth. Though considered a progressive rock band these recordings do show a very metallic edge. It was during Geoff's tenure in Myth that Chris Degarmo heard him sing. Chris then invited Geoff to sing on Queensrÿche's EP sessions. Originally a session gig, Chris invited Geoff to join Queensrÿche once he seen how great the recordings went. During the recent split between Queensrÿche and Geoff Tate, the band stated Geoff was never really a fan of metal and was steering the band too far from the genre. These early recordings of songs that Geoff wrote/co-wrote well before joining Queensrÿche, songs that would be cannibalized and re-written for subsequent Queensrÿche albums show distinct metal roots. The tapes due suffer some what from age but are completely listenable & enjoyable. Tate's vocals are immaculate especially on "Scarborough Fair".

justdave's notes:
This CD is much like the Chicago Toronto Rock'n' Roll Revival recording from 1969. It's one of those grey area CDs. It's considered a legal release, but is not officially recognized by Joe Cocker's Organization. It's been released on many different labels that "licensed it" from some other label. It's had just as many titles, too. No one really knows it's actual legality. It is not listed by Joe Cocker's webpage which is selling all his CDs including a few live albums. I actually bought this double disc at Walmart for 5 dollars U.S.

There is a single CD version of this show floating around trade circles. I however haven't seen a double disc version anywhere myself. This is the entire show. I do believe it is a Pre-FM source but I can not prove that so I labeled it a soundboard recording.

I was actually lucky enough to catch Joe Cocker live once. He was on tour with Stevie Ray Vaughan as his opening act! So I was able to catch Stevie Ray as well. It was at Pine Knob in Clarkston Michigan. Stevie Ray came out and played a full headlining set. An hour and a half of Stevie Ray kicking major ass. He was sober and on fire that year. He died after that tour if my memory is correct (It's always possible that I remember wrong). After Stevie played, Joe Cocker came out and played a blazing hour and a half of his own. When Joe came back for his encore Stevie Ray came out with him. They jammed for at least another half hour before leaving the stage. I actually almost didn't go to the show. My ex-wife's (my wife at the time) Grandmother had day died days earlier. I was unable to take the time off work to travel out of state for the funeral so I stayed home. My friend Gypsy Dan called and said he had tickets to see Cocker (did not mention Stevie Ray). I said I was going to stay home because I would feel guilty going to the show since my wife was going to a funeral. Dan say's "she will understand", (she didn't) then says "just don't tell her" (I did of course). I went, and thinking back, I feel like I did the right thing, so does Rosebud.

This is going to be The Best 2 Hours Black Sabbath Fans will spend after downloading (that is until some else way cooler happens of course). It's 1 CD worth of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 1976 and a full length 2CDs worth of Fresno, California, 1978. A full length Never Say Die Show that is not the London show from the video. This is a nice collection for all Black Sabbath listeners. I loved it so did Rosebud, that's why it's a Rosebud Pick.

JustDave Notes:
- A tape from an old school snail mail tape trade with a fellow Metalhead that went by the name of Nobbi.
- Also aquired in that trade was one more My Dying Bride show and various othe Heavy Metal live tapes.

Known Faults:
- "Kneel Till Doomsday" fades in whoever recorded the master must have missed the beginning of the show.
- Tape flip after "She Is The Dark".
- The DJ talks over some of the beginnings and endings of tracks.
- Not exactly sure of tape generation, it does have some fading and channel phasing.

Editing Notes:
- Other than cross fading the tape split I left the audio as is.
- Recording and editing was done in 24bit/96khz.

Other Notes:
- My Dying Bride is the only band in The Big Three Of British Death Doom that plays anything close to their original ground breaking releases. The other two, Anathema and Paradise Lost both progressed in different directions. Anathema becoming a Progressive Metal act while Paradise Lost went in a more Gothic Metal/Rock direction.
- The sound that set My Dying Bride apart from other Death Doom acts was the violin. An actual violinist who grew up a Metalhaed was used until his departure. Unable to find a suitable replacement My Dying Bride added a keyboardist to cover the violin and add another dimension to their sound.

This is the complete set from Black Sabbath at the first California Jam. It is however a little edited as some of Ozzy's on stage banter has been censored. Cannibis Confusion is regarded as the best sounding source of the recording however the boot Metal Mess contains the unedited stage banter. This comes from Rosebud's silver CD and is one of the first bootlegs I ever bought her. That's right I payed like $50 US for it, but now you won't have to.

That's right Rosebud isn't just a fan of the more commercial Heavy Metal. Oh No! she loves Morbid Angel. Morbid Angel was the first Death Metal band I introduced Rosebud to. They were also the first Death Metal band she ever saw in concert. I came home from work one day to find Rosebud had bought tickets to a show headlined by Motörhead with Morbid Angel as the opening act. She says "I got us tickets to see Morbid Angel!!" I looked at the tickets and said "You forgot to say Motörhead would be headlining." She says "We've seen Motörhead 3 times I bought the tickets because Morbid Angel will be there."

The title of the CD is Europe 1993 but Black Sabbath didn't play a single show in 1993. Recorded in 1992, this boot wasn't released until 1993, hence the name and another example of bootleggers caring about the money not the music or the facts. Anyway, this is a very clean sounding soundboard. You can hear all the instruments clearly, however the bass is a little thin (IMHO). Black-Sabbath.com says this boot comes from the masters of the original TV broadcast tapes, I say if your a Sabbath fan and you don't have this..... You Should !!

This one is a classic, it's been in trading circles for a while, if you don't have a copy of it yet you should. This is a great performance from a band it seems was tailor made for Holiday music. Chicago's Christmas album and this show both get heavy rotation for the Holidays at Just Dave's Place every year and for me has become as big a part of Christmas as Elvis, Bing Crosby and egg nog (got to have egg nog!).

justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to re-edit some track marks and even out the volume and raise the volume level. Traders Little Helper was used to encode the waves to MP3 320kbps since the DVD had lossy audio.

There was a few spots in the broadcast where the stream stopped, this is found on every source that I have found. These rough spots are few in number and do not take away from the listening pleasure of this recording.

From the Retirement Sucks Tour, Geezer still in the line-up but would leave again. Dean Castronovo would also split. I always love hearing Ozzy songs with Geezer on bass. Bob Daisley writes some good stuff no denying, but I am sorry I love Geezer's playing that much more. He plays around with the riff on anything he plays. He doesn't seem to change Bob's riffs much. I like Dean Castronovo's druming too. His playing on Ozmosis is great but his playing on Geezer's G//Z/R debut Plastic Planet that really impressed me.

G//Z/R was an Industrial Death Metal band that also featured Burton C. Bell of Fear Factory on vocals. I saw them play live on a very short promo tour. When they started playing their first song plaster fell from the theater's ceiling. A mosh pit broke out then parted as a stage diver was in mid air. He got up after landing on my friend who was drunk and passed out in the pit. Me and another from our group picked up our buddy and put him in the car for safe keeping then quickly heading back in. After the show I stopped at the merch table to buy a shirt. Behind the table was Geezer's wife, sitting next to her was Geezer. I asked for an autograph and he gave it, then handed me a clip board and says "Now gimme your's". It was the mailing list, so I signed up. Every month for 2 years I received a hand written note from Mrs. Butler and a sheet detailing what was going on with Geezer's solo project. When Burton C. Bell left to go back to Fear Factory the fan club got a request for demo tapes for auditions to replace Bell. I sent mine because hey why not? I received a hand written letter from Geezer thanking me for my submission but....he was going with Clark Brown. I don't care I got a hand written rejection letter from Geezer....Other musicians understand lol!!!
