Issue With Workupload

Unfortunately, Workupload deleted all the links that I posted from September 25 to October 3.  They have alos blocked me from additional uploads.

I have uploaded new links for October 1 to 4.

I will be fixing the links for September 25 to 30 by Sunday.

Right now, I'll be using Zippyshare and Filefactory.  I'm looking into other alternatives but may be a while before I figure that out.

Sorry about that - enjoy the tunz.

Jefferson Airplane – 1970-10-04 – Winterland, SF (FM)

On October 4, 1970, 4 dozen years ago today. the Jefferson Airplane took the stage at Winterland in their home base of San Francisco, as captured in this FM Brad cast. The concert was notable for 2 reasons. First, it was billed as the retirement show for Quicksilver Messenger Service. In addition to the sets by QMS and the Airplane, the night included performances by the New Riders, Hot Tuna, and the Grateful Dead. Secondly, the show highlights that the Airplane, one of the leading light so fthe 1960s counter culture, would not survive the 1970s. At one point, Marty Balin screams out “I need a new band”. Within months, he would be gone from the band. And just a few days ago, he was tragically gone from this earth.  May Marty Rest in Peace.

The Monkees - 1968-10-04 - Tokyo, Japan (TV SBD)

Given the incredible list of albums that were released in 1967 - Sgt Pepper's, Are You Experienced, Surrealistc Pillow, debut discs from The Doors & The Grateful Dead, etc., you would think that every week a new album would have hit #1 on the Billboard charts as those legendary discs fought for the top spot. Instead, one band dominated the charts, having an album at #1 for 29 weeks. No, it wasn't The Beatles, though Sgt Pepper's did spend 15 weeks at #1. Rather it was The Monkees, who started as fictional TV band loosely based on The Beatles, who had 4 different albums hit #1 in 1967

1. Their self titled debut disc for 5 weeks, 
2. More Of The Monkees for 18 weeks, 
3. Headquarters for 1 week 
4. Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd  for 5 weeks

By the way - just 3 other albums went to #1 that year:

• Sounds Like by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass for 1 week
• Ode To Billie Joe by Bobbie Gentry for 2 weeks
• Greatest Hits by Diana Ross & The Supremes for 5 week

Monkee-mania ran wild in 1967, as the band dominated not only the album charts but also the singles charts. The Monkees had six top 40 singles in 1967, including two at #1 in I'm A Believer and Daydream Believer; one at #2 in A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You and one at #3 in Pleasant Valley Sunday.  By 1968, though, the shine started to wear off. While the album The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees. and the single, Valerie, both released in early 1968, each wnet to #3 on the charts, the band's commercial success was about done.  Their TV show was cancelled, and the band itself was racked by internal tensions. The film Head, and its accompanying soundtrack album, released in late 1968, took direct aim at blowing up their carefully constructed TV personas. By early 1969, peter Tork resigned from the Monkees, ending a 2 year long roller coaster ride.  This TV soundboard recording captures the band on their last tour before Tork quit, in Tokyo on October 4, 1968, a half century ago this very day.

The Temptations - 1966-10-03 - Detroit, MI (SBD)

No month celebrating the 1960s & 1970s would be complete without a post featuring the music of Motown. Berry Gordy’s Motown record label, with its aptly named Hitsville USA studio, spawned some of the most successful and important bands of the 1960s. From 1961 to 1971, Motown artists generated 110 top 10 hits. Diana Ross & The Supremes, The Four Tops, The Temptations, The Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Marvelettes, and Smoke Robinson & The Miracles, just to name a few, all released records for Motown. Moreover, in the racially tense times of the 1960s, the Motown sound resonated with blacks and whites alike. This FM broadcast captures The Temptations in the home pf Motow, Detriot, on October 3, 1966, 52 years ago this very day!

Grateful Dead - 1972-10-02 - Springfield MA (SBD)

For the Grateful Dead, the year 1972 will always be remembered for the band's incredible tour "across the pond", which initially spawned the triple live album, Europe 72, and later an archival release of every single show of the run! As result, folks tend to overlook other shows from that year, but in truth, the Dead were in peak form throughout 1972. The fall East Coast tour finds the band sans Pigpen (suffering from intestinal diseases due to excessive drinking that would lead to his death in 1973) so such tunes as Good Lovin, Alligator and Turn On Your Lovelight  have vanished from the set list.  In their place, tunes such as Playing In The Band, Bird Song and He's Gone become new launching points for extended jams and improvisation.  This soundboard recording captures the last night ifthe East Coast run in Springfield on October 2, 1972, 46 years ago today.  In addition to the 3 songs just mentioned, check out the jam out of Truckin' that travels through themes from  Nobody's Fault, Feelin' Groovy and Uncle John's Band on its way to Morning Dew.

Led Zeppelin - 1972-10-02 - Tokyo, Japan (HQ Audience)

From December 1970 to March 1971, Led Zeppelin spent time at Basing Street Studios and later, Headley Grange, working on their 4th studio album. During these sessions, the band decided that the album would have no title! After the adverse reviews their 3rd album had received, despite going to #1 on the charts in the US and UK, Led Zep decided that their 4th album should be almost anonymous. In place of a title, each band member would pick a symbol that would appear on the record’s inner sleeve. “We decided that on the fourth album, we would deliberately play down the group name, and there wouldn't be any information whatsoever on the outer jacket", Jimmy Page explained. "Names, titles and things like that do not mean a thing.” The record company strongly opposed the decision, but the band, using their considerable clout, held fast. Clearly the band knew what they were doing. The 4th Led Zep album – unofficially known by any and all of the following names: Led Zeppelin IV, Untitled, Zoso, and Runes - would be their biggest yet. Since its release on November 8, 1971, the disc has shipped over 23 million units in the United States alone, making it the third-best-selling album ever in the US. The album featured such classics as Black Dog, Rock & Roll, When The Levee Breaks, Going To California,and of course, the one and only, Stairway to Heaven. This high quality audience captures Led Zep on tour about a tear after the release of their masterpiece, in Tokyo on October 2, 1972, 46 years ago today. The download includes 2 different recordings of the show - I couldn't pick which one sounded better so I gave you both!

Van Morrison - 1978-10-01 - Santa Cruz, CA (SBD)

From 1970 to 1974, Van Morrison released 6 albums of new material, plus the live disc, Too Late To Stop Now. It was an immensely prolific period for Van the Man, marked by incredible artistic and commercial successes such as Moondance, Tupelo Honey, and St. Dominic’s Preview. Of course, given the number of albums he released, some of the material, such as Hard Nose to The Highway, met with less than stellar reviews. That level of production also put great stress on Van the Man, who by the end of 1974 was so burned out that he contemplated leaving the music business. He took 3 years off, not releasing another album until 1977’s aptly named “A Period Of Transition”, a collaboration with Doctor John. Van’s real return; however, came in the spring of 1978, when he released Wavelength, which at the time became the fastest selling album of his career. Most critics also praised the disc, with Time magazine, for example, stating that “Wavelength is good enough to stand close by Morrison's best work, a record of sinuous, sensuous magic. The man just can't be beat.”  To promote the album and upcoming US tour, Warner Brothers' filmed a live performance by Van, as captured in this soundboard recording, in Santa Cruz on October 1, 1978, 4 decades ago today.
