Southside Johnny - 1988-10-31 - The Ritz, New York, NY (FM)

1988 - The New Jersey music scene rose to prominence in 1975 thanks to Bruce Springsteen. Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes were the 2nd most famous act to emerge from that scene. Their first three albums, I Don't Want To Go Home (1976), This Time It's For Real (1977), and Hearts Of Stone (1978), were filled with Stax R&B influences. All 3 discs were produced and arranged by Steve Van Zandt, the group's co-founder, who also played guitar in Springsteen's E Street band. Van Zandt's tune, I Don't Want To Go Home, became Southside's signature song, an evocative mixture of horn-based melodic riffs and sentimental lyrics. The band's repertoire also included The Fever, Talk to Me, This Time It's For Real, Love on the Wrong Side of Town, a wonderful cover of Sam Cooke's Having A Party, and the definitive version of Springsteen's Hearts of Stone. While Southside never rose to the prominence that Springsteen achieved, the band remained a vibrant live force in the 1980s and beyond, touring almost non stop! This WNEW-FM broadcast captures them taking the Jersey sound across the river to the Ritz in New York City, on October 31, 1988, 34 years ago today.

Santana - 1984-10-31 - The Ritz, New York, NY (SBD)

1984 - In the late 1970’s and early 1980s, Santana’s music began to move away from the traditional fusion of Latin, jazz, rockand blues toward a more album oriented rock (AOR) sound. That transition began with the album Inner Secrets in 1978, and continued on with Marathon in 1979  Zeebop in 1981. and Shango in 1982.  While those albums produced some outstanding, commerically successful tracks, including, Stormy, Open Invitation, All I Ever Wanted, Winning and Hold On, Santana’s core fan base questioned the band’s direction. One thing which did not change during this period, however, was the band’s ability to play dynamic live concerts. As this sounboard recording from October 31, 1984, 38 years ago today, from The Ritz In New York City demonstrates, Carlos could still play guitar with the best of them and the band could electrify any concert venue.

Bruce Hornsby - 1993-10-30 - Orlando, FL (SBD)

1993 - In early 1993, Bruce Hornsby released the album. Harbor Lights, his first disc without his backing band, The Range. In their place, Hornsby brought in a all star cast of supporting musicians, including including Jerry Garcia, Pat Metheny, Branford Marsalis, Phil Collins, and Bonnie Raitt. The disc had more of a jazz feel to it than his previous work, allowing Hornsby and hi guests to play extended jams during many of the tunes. Many of those songs, such as the title track, Rainbow’s Cadillac, Fields of Gray, and Talk Of The Town, would become staples of his live shows for the next 2 decades. This soundboard recording captures Bruce on tour in support of the album in Orlando on October 30, 1993, 29 years ago today.

U2 - 1987-10-28 - Chicago, IL (SBD)

1987 - As the 1980’s progressed, U2 moved from their new wave/dance roots toward a more serious and complex musical style. The albums War in 1983 and The Unforgettable Fire in 1984 expanded the band’s audience beyond the UK. Their set at Live Aid in 1985 brought them worldwide acclaim and positioned them to headline the 1986 Amnesty International Tour. None of that could have prepared the band or the music world, however, for what transpired in 1987 when they released their 5th album, The Joshua Tree. With lyrics and music that, in Rolling Stone’s words, turned “spiritual quests and political struggles into uplifting stadium sing-alongs.” In the US, the disc debuted at #7 on the Billboard charts, then quickly climbed to #1, where it stayed for 9 weeks. The album yielded the band’s first two #1 singles, With or Without You and I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, as well as its first 2 Grammy Awards In April 1987, the band became just the 4th act to appear on the cover of Time Magazine, demonstrating that their influence had transcended the music world. This soundboard recording captures U2 on tour in support of their landmark album on October 28, 1987, 35 years ago today, in Chicago.

Spin Doctors - 1992-10-27 - Brookville, NY (SBD)

1992 -  In August 1991, the Spin Doctors released their debut album Pocket Full Of Kryptonite, but it barely received any commercial or critical notice. It took almost a year before folks picked up on the album, bolstered by MTv playing videos of Two Princes and Little Miss Can't be Wrong. Sales suddenly took off, with the album certifying gold by September 1992, and reaching triple platinum status by June 1993. The disc peaked at #3 on the Billboard charts, and the 2 singles mentioned previously both cracked the top 20. By the way, the album got its title from a line from its opening track, Jimmy Olsen's Blues, which didn't chart when originally released, but eventually cracked the Billboard Top 100 after the band's big commercial breakthrough. This soundboard recording captures the band at the height of their commercial success, in Brookville, NY on October 27, 1992, 3 decades ago today.

First, it includes a slowed down cover of the Rockpile tune, Heart. Second, both drummer Terry Williams and guitarist Billy Bremner from the band back Lowe on the album. So too do guitarist Martin Belmont, from The Rumour and Paul Carrack, formerly of Squeeze. When Lowe went on tour in support of the album, his backing band, Noise To Go, consisted of Carrack, Belmont, James Eller and Bobby Irwin.

Jerry Garcia Band - 1987-10-21 - Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, NY, NY (SBD)

1987 - As mentioned in several earlier posts, Jerry Garcia made a miraculous comeback in 1987, escaping death’s door when he finally emerged from a diabetic coma. After re-teaching himself to play guitar, Jerry rejoined the Grateful Dead and the band embarked on one of their best tours in years. The fall 1987 shows, especially those at Madison Square Garden, were especially memorable, with the 9-18-1987 show (see last month) often being cited as one of the best of the decade. Soon after the fall tour ended, Garcia embarked on a new venture. Jerry took up residence at the historic Lunt-Fontanne Theater in New York’s Broadway district from October 15 to October 31.  Garcia played 18 concerts in 13 days, with 5 days featuring both the traditional Broadway matinee and a late show. Each show consisted of an acoustic set followed by an electric set. The 1500 seat theater that once housed the Sound Of Music and Hello Dolly had never quite seen anything like the crowd that attended a Garcia show. If you were not fortunate enough to see Garcia On Broadway, don’t despair. You can download this soundboard recording from October 21, 1987, 35 years ago today, and relive the magic!

Sheryl Crow - 1999-10-20 - Tokyo, Japan (SBD)

1999 - When your debut album goes to #3 on the Billboard charts, and wins 3 Grammys, as Tuesday Night Music Club did, you've established quite a standard for future releases.  For Sheryl Crow, however, that hardly seemed to be an issue.  In 1996, her self-titled second disc went to # 6 on the charts and included such hits as Everyday Is A Winding Road, If It Makes You Happy and Hard To Make A Stand.  Then in 1998, she released the critically acclaimed Globe Sessions, which climbed to #5 on the charts and won 2 Grammy Awards.  This soundboard recording captures Sheryl on tour in Japan in support of the Globe Sessions winning album, on October 20, 1999, 23 years ago today.

Los Lobos with John Hiatt  - 1992-10-18 - Hollywood CA  (FM)

1992 - Welcome to Christmas in October.  On December 24, 1992, National Public Radio aired The Holiday House Party, a 2 hour concert featuring Los Lobos, John Hiatt and many more special guests, that had been taped before a live audience back in October.  The most frequent date mentioned for the taping is October 18, 1992, 3 decades ago this very day, but some sources indicatr that was simply a rehersal and not the full show.  In addition, while the artwork indicates the show was from the Capitol Recording studios in Hollywood, other sources say it was taped at McCabes in Santa Monica.  Date and venue controversy aside, this is one great show, highlighted by Los Lobos performing The Christmas Song and John Hiatt covering John Lennon's Happy Christmas (War Is Over). An early Feliz Navidad to you all!

Steely Dan - 1995-10-17 - New York, NY (FM)

1995 - After an Independence Day concert in Santa Monica in 1974, Steely Dan retired from touring to focus on studio recordings. Band leaders Walter Becker and Donald Fagan had tired of the grind associated with live performing and preferred to focus on song writing and album production. After producing 4 more albums (Kati Lied, The Royal Scam, Aja & Gaucho) between 1975 and 1980, Becker and Fagan announced a split in their partnership in June 1981. It would be another 12 years before the two would formally reunite, ironically, to produce 2 solo albums. Becker produced Fagan’s album Kamakiriad, while Fagan returned the favor by serving as co-producer on Becker’s 11 Tracks of Whack. Even more irony followed, as the two then reformed Steely Dan, not to record an album, but to go on tour! While their 2 solo albums didn’t sell all that well, their live concerts received rave reviews. They had such a good time on the road in 1993, they “did it again’ in 1994. Then in 1995, they released the album Alive iN ameica, a live disc that featured recordings from the previous 2 years' tours. To clebrate the rlease of the disc, Steely Dan hosted a performed a brief radio concert on October 17, 1995, 27 yeeras ago today, at the Manhattan Center in New York City.

Rolling Stones - 1997-10-16 - East Rutherford NJ (Ex Aud)

1997 - On September 29, 1997, the Rolling Stones released Bridges to Babylon, their last studio album of the 20th century. While the album met with mixed reviews, it still climbed to #3 of the Billboard charts in the US and certified platinum by November. The Stones launched a year long worldwide tour in support of the album, announcing their plans at a press conference underneath the Brooklyn Bridge! The Bridges to Babylon Tour would become the largest Rolling Stones tour to date, exceeding the sales of their record-breaking 1994-1995 Voodoo Lounge Tour. Estimates are that over 4.5 million people attended the 108 shows played during the tour. The Stones also introduced the use of a 2nd stage, called the B-stage, during this tour. Most nights, 3 songs were played from the B-Stage, before the band returned to the main stage to close the show. This excellent audience recording captures the Stones on October 16, 1997, a quarter centurty ago today, inNew Jersey.. Download this one to hear the Stones during their last stadium tour of the 20th century (Note - the No Security tour in 1999 featured only indoor arenas!).
