Blue Cheer Mabuhay Gardens, San Francisco, CA 1984-04-06

A fairly decent live recording by Blue Cheer - there aren't too many around - from the 80s, with Tony Rainier on guitar. Considering the paucity of band pictures of that era, I did what I could with what I had. I re-worked the picture and addded what I deemed suitable to the band's imagery.  Get this recording here on the excellent Heavy Bootz blog.

Iggy and The Stooges - Raw Power 1997 Mix Private Remaster

This is a homemade cover for a third mix of the album Raw Power. Much better than both the Bowie and the Iggy mixes. It is just mindblowing to me. Honestly. But don't take my word for it. Just listen. It can be found here. Maybe one day this mix will become more popular and will be available as a recording... Who knows? Just close your eyes and listen to this new mix of 'Search and Destroy'. You can also have a look at all the comments below the videos. They speak volumes...

ZZ Top - Hard Rock Live, Hollywood, FL 2024-03-10

 A recent yet excellent show with Elwood Francis, from the Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour, where ZZ Top shared the bill with Lynyrd Skynyrd. Get the very good quality recording in mp3 here , from the excellent heavybootz site. Never before have I struggled so much to find pictures for a show!!! I have managed to find the grand total of ONE picture from the FB account of the Hard Rock Hotel Hollywood FL, here. And I'm not even 100% sure that it comes from this very show! There are plenty of live photos available from the 2021 show, but almost NONE from the 2024 show. NOTHING AT ALL from the various ZZ Top FB and Instagram accounts. Unbelievable! If you ever come across some live photos from this show, please let me know! I am still trying to extract snapshots from a video but I am not too sure what it's going to look like... Oh well... It's up for grabs, anyway!
