Alice Cooper Group- I’m 18- Dallas 10-6-15

Not to be confused with Dallas Alice (that would be Little Feat), this is Alice in Dallas "Live from the Astroturf", performing in Good Records and improbably backed by his original Alice Cooper band (minus the late Glenn Buxton who passed in 1997) who gave us "Love It to Death", "Killer", "School's Out", and "Billion Dollar Babies". 

INXS- Original Sin- London Royal Albert Hall 1986

Down through history, slavery by the founding fathers has sometimes been referred to as America's "Original Sin", hence the dedication to Dr. Martin Luther King jr at the introduction of that song at London's Royal Albert Hall back in 1986…

Jimi Hendrix- Hear My Train a Comin’- Memorial Day 1970- Berkeley CA

Jimi Hendrix performed two 1970 Memorial Day concerts in Berkeley CA at which he unveiled unreleased songs, including the portentous "Hear My Train a Comin' ". Presented to honor American Black History Month.

Robert Cray- Smoking Gun- Dallas 1987

Another stellar live performance, no overdubs,  by the Robert Cray Band at Dallas club Redux in July 1987, "Smoking Gun" and the album Strong Persuader   resulted in Cray being heralded by no less than legendary Dallas native Steve Miller…

Living Colour- Cult of Personality-1990 NYC

For American Black History Month...Living Colour live "Cult of Personality" Electric Lady Studio NYC 1990

Bad Company- Runnin’ with the Pack- Dallas/Ft.Worth 7-10-13

It doesn't get any better than this exclusive live performance of Bad Company  "Runnin' with the Pack", no overdubs, just as the audience loved it July 10, 2013 in Dallas/Ft. Worth.

U2- Pride (In the Name of Love)- 1987

U2's "Pride (In the Name of Love)" is, for my money, one of the most important anthems of the last four decades. Inspired by the life and words of the great American human rights advocate Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King jr

Fleetwood Mac- Blue Letter- UCONN 10/75

On their first tour in Fall 1975 with the new band including rookies Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac's live performance of "Blue Letter" at their performance at the University of Connecticut made it irrespressible.

Styx- Blue Collar Man- 2120 Michigan Ave, Chicago- 2005

Styx here live in blues legend Willie Dixon's Chicago recording studio at 2120 Michigan Avenue, the site of the original Chess Records, back in 2005 laying down a soul-infused reading of Tommy Shaw's working class musical manifesto "Blue Collar Man".

Peter Frampton- Nowhere’s Too Far for My Baby- Montreal 2011

Here's Peter Frampton on 2011's  triumphant Frampton Comes Alive 35   tour with  a terrific song called "Nowhere's Too Far for My Baby" which was dropped for vinyl time restrictions from the original Frampton Comes Alive   album. This tight performance is  from the Montreal  show in 2011.

Steve Earle- Days Aren’t Long Enough

"Days Aren't Long Enough" by Steve Earle is the 21st century replacement for "Auld Lang Syne", performed live In the Studio in Dallas in 2007 by the former Guitar Town resident  and his ex-wife, Allison Moorer.

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers- Gloria- San Francisco 2-6-97

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were among the best working bands on the planet even before they did twenty nights at San Francisco's Fillmore early in 1997, and this not-to-be-missed performance of Van Morrison's "Gloria" certainly doesn't…

Sammy Hagar- Eagles Fly- Las Vegas 5-25

Sammy Hagar rocked Las Vegas in May 2025 with his all-star "Best of All Worlds Band". This performance of Sammy Hagar's "Eagles Fly" during The Residency certainly does the inspiring song justice.

Queen- Bohemian Rhapsody/Killer Queen medley- London 1975

The regal rock of Queen came of age on the stage by this time in 1975 as is evidenced by this stunning performance at London's Odeon Theater with a medley of songs "Black Queen" from Queen II,  "Killer Queen" from their first solid album, 1974's Sheer Heart Attack , and their breakthrough "Bohemian Rhapsody" from Queen's fourth effort, A Night at the Opera.

Redbeard Rocks Halloween- Scream and Stream Playlist

A streaming playlist of almost two hours of the obvious, curious, and hard-to-find "monsters of rock" Halloween songs with themes of ghosts, goblins, witches, werewolves, spirits, vampires, people in masks screaming…but no people screaming about masks!
