Jethro Tull- Living in the Past- Philadelphia 1987

"Here's a song we loathed for fifteen years!" winked Jethro Tull singer/songwriter/flautist Ian Anderson when introducing the song "Living in the Past" from the stage. The song is a bit of an orphan, written and recorded in 1969 between their second album, "Stand Up", and the follow-up, "Benefit", but appearing on neither one.

Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band- Fortunate Son

When you are as prolific a song craftsman as Bob Seger, there is little reason to cover anybody else. But a lucky crowd got to hear Bob Seger lead his Silver Bullet Band through a rousing version of John Fogerty's "Fortunate Son" long ago.

Traffic- Low Spark of High Heeled Boys- rehearsal 2-11-94

...get the Traffic jam flowing with the ultra-rare "No Spark" unplugged version of the Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys title song performed by Steve Winwood and the late Jim Capaldi in February 1994.

Fathers Day with Klaus Meine of Scorpions

Scorpions lead singer Klaus Meine with some good advice on Fathers Day.

Mark Knopfler- Once Upon a Time in the West- Dallas 9-8-19

To herald the upcoming forty-fifth anniversary of the sublime but overlooked second Dire Straits album, here is a tasty live performance by Mark Knopfler in Dallas/Ft. Worth of a song from it, "Once Upon a Time in the West", which would surface on the second Dire Straits album, "Communique".

The Who- Pinball Wizard medley- Toronto 12-17-82

This performance of the "Tommy" medley December 1982 from the Redbeard archives is official and far superior to the bootleg that circulated for years.

Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble- Cold Shot- Austin 4-15-84

When Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble took the stage at the Austin Opera House in April 1984, their much-anticipated second album "Couldn't Stand the Weather" was about to be released. For "Cold Shot", Stevie invited his big brother Jimmie, then of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, to join them.

Bad Company- Can’t Get Enough- Dallas/Ft Worth 7-10-13

One of the bands which defined arena rock in the Seventies ironically never released a live album until the 21st century, but this sizzling performance of "Can't Get Enough" from the In the Studio archives is better than anything anywhere, and it is totally live, no overdubs!

Allman Brothers Band- Seven Turns- Los Angeles 6-11-92

The Allman Brothers Band, always one of the largest ( and best ) working bands America ever produced, agreed to the stripped down approach at a radio and record industry convention in Summer 1992 where they performed the title song to their album "Seven Turns".

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers- I Won’t Back Down- San Francisco 2-6-97

Note how Florida natives the late Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers stood their ground with a six-string rather than a six-shooter. It's a different take on "I Won't Back Down" from San Francisco's Fillmore during a nationwide radio broadcast in February 1997.

Lynyrd Skynyrd- Sweet Home Alabama- Memphis 10-30-73

Lynyrd Skynyrd earliest known recording of "Sweet Home Alabama" before a live Ardent Studio audience in Memphis 10/30/73.

Robin Trower- Day of the Eagle- Dallas 3-20-80

Good fortune and great music-loving friends combined to save this Dallas Wintergarden performance on March 20, 1980 from the dumpster of time. This is Robin Trower, the late James Dewar on bass and vocal, and Bill Lordan on drums ripping through "Day of the Eagle".
