1974 - In September 1974, fresh off the chart topping success of the Allman Brother's album Brothers and Sisters, Dickey Betts released his first solo album entitled Highway Call. The album featured a more country sound, with Betts backed by legendary fiddle player Vassar Clements and acoustic guitarist Jeff Hanna. The disc was a commercial success, climbimg to #19 on the Billboard charts. Just about 2 months after the album's release, on Novemeber 4, 1974, 52 years ago today, Betts, accompanied by Clements, played a live set at Ultrasonic Studios in Hempstead that featured tracks from the album alongside some Allman Brother's classics.  This FM broadcast captures that show, along with interviews with both Betts and Clements.

17. We Gotta Get Out Of This Place
18. Born To Run

1976: On September 15, 1976, the judge in the lawsuit between Springsteen and ex-manager Mike Appel ruled that Bruce was enjoined from any further recording with Columbia Records until the case was resolved. In addition, proceeds from Born To Run were tied up in various accounting disputes, some related to the lawsuit, so Bruce had no source of income. So, he went back out on the roads starting on September 26, for a brief run pf shows, which finished with 6 nights at The Palladium in New York, This FM Broadcast captures the final night of that run, on November 4, 1976, 50 years ago today. And what a finale it was. A pre-show bomb hoax results in Bruce jokingly asking the audience to look under their seats (obviously a far different atmosphere than today's post 9-11 world). Springsteen delivers stunning cover versions of It’s My Life and We Gotta Get Out Of This Place. To top it off, Ronnie Spector guests on three of her most famous Ronettes-era hits, all given inspired arrangements by the E Street Band. The lawsuits may have kept Bruce out of the studio, but it was clear he still ruled on stage.

1976: In August 1976, Linda Ronstadt released the album Hasten Down The Wind, which became her 3rd straight million selling disc, making her the first female artist in history to accomplish that feat. The album also earned Linda her second of a record 10 Grammy Awards for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance The album was different from 1974's Heart Like A Wheel and 1975's Prisoner In Disguise in that she chose to showcase new songwriters as opposed to country rock tunes. The title track, for example was written by then up and coming songwriter Warren Zevon. One of the most famous tracks from the album, Someone To Lay Down Beside Me, was composed by the then little known Karla Bonoff. The album received huge critical acclaim, and also spent several weeks in the top 3 on the Billboard charts. Ronstadt went on tour later that year in support of the album, and this soundboard captures her a half century ago today, November 3, 1976, in Los Angeles!

Final Notice - Changes At So Many Roads - Please Read And Save For Future Referene

As you know, we had to introduce a 2 step process to download shows due to some new Google Blogger restrictions.
  • The link in the post takes you to Mediafire, where you can download a TXT file that contains the link to the music
  • Simply open that TXT file using Notepad, copy the link you find at the top of the page, paste it into your browser, and hit enter.  You'll be taken to mirrored.to, which is the same multi-host platform we have been using for years.  Then choose one of the 12 hosts (I recommend Mediafire, SEND, GoFile or Buzzheavier as the easiest to use) and download the show.
Please only use Notepad to open the TXT File - if you open it with WORD or anything else, you'll get extra \ characters in the mirrored.to link that shouldn't be there. You'll need to delete those \ characters to make the link work.

If you have need any more info about the recent changes to our download process, please download our Welcome document.

I understand the 2 step download process is a bit more cumbersome, but it's either that or the site goes away given the new restrictions coming from Google blogger.  

This will be the last post on this subject for now as I don't want to keep putting attention on it given Google is tightening up its policies. If something changes, we'll post again.

Enjoy the tunz!

1977: We open November with a show from the band I saw live most often, from the very year I attended my first of 50 of their concerts. On September 3, 1977, me, my buddies and, along with 150,000 others, made the pilgrimage to Englishtown NJ, to see the Grateful Dead play the largest concert in the state's history. The day was hot - over 100 degrees - and the band was even hotter. Another performance that added to the legend of 1977. I would see 49 more after that, at least 1 show every year except 1982, 1984, 1986 and 1992, with the last show being June 18, 1995, just 2 month's before we lost Jerry Garcia. My long strange trip with the Dead was short compared to folks who saw hundreds of concerts, but it was memorable, as over a dozen shows that I attended were good enough to be officially released. It's been 31 years since we lost Jerry, and I still miss the magic. Speaking of magic, this soundboard from recording captures the Dead on November 1, 1977, 49 years ago today, in Detroit, just 2 months after Englistown. As the fall tour wound to a close in November, the band was still in peak form, as evidenced by the fact that the November 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th shows were all officially released.
