On that call, you were thinking wisely...if that's Beast from the East you're referring to (so I assume), that's one of the best live albums I've ever heard, bar none...

George Lynch is fucking incredible on that album, Don's singing is very solid and the production quality is through the roof...

Jeff and Mick are really tight with each other...

Great track selection...

Remains to this day one of my all time favorite live albums ever. Definitely one of the best hard rock live albums ever recorded, IMO.

I bought that album cause i liked MR Scary and Breaking the Chains.

But other than that i wasnt too keen on their over all style.

It just wasnt for me at the time.

Let's see here:

A Jimi Hendrix bootleg titled Woke Up This Morning And Found Myself Dead...

The Cure - Mixed Up

Dokken - Tooth And Nail

Primus - Saling The Seas Of Cheese

Spin Doctors - Pocket Full Of Kryptonite

Ozzy Osbourne - Speak Of The Devil

I had that CVH WACF/FW 2 albums on one cassette, too.

David Lee Roth - Skyscraper

Talking Heads - Remain In Light

Devo - Freedom Of Choice

Rush - Moving Pictures

Mick Jagger - She's The Boss

U2 - Live Under A Blood Red Sky

Richard Pryor - That ******'s Crazy

Big Country - The Best Of Big Country

Gary Moore - After The War

Dread Zeppelin - 5,000,000*

The Who - Face Dances

The Romantics - In Heat

Aerosmith - Done With Mirrors......

among others (have some really embarassing shit in there too that I'd rather not mention and really should just throw away, but probably won't because, hey, Right Said Fred could be making a comeback any day now and I'll wish I hadn't chucked that tape that I bought for the one song...)

And yes, I have a working boom box (even though I'm too sexy for it)

No, I never got the chance to. They only came around once where I was living at the time, and that was after they released their first album, and I hadn't had a chance to hear them yet, and what I did hear of them (which was that they dig reggae-styled Zep covers with an Elvis impersonator singing lead) just sounded too off-the-wall...

But I finally picked up their second album and just fucking DUG it, but by then they had kinda vanished off the map...

But they were totally brilliant. I would have loved to have seen them.

I've got a sealed copy of Nelson's tape. My grandmother thought I would like it since I liked all that long haired rock stuff..... Old people, what can you do?

Upon closer inspection, I have found that isn't a microphone between their lips...

:eek:

I have quite a few hundred tapes.

I am slowly but surely going through them and figuring out what to keep and what not.

Many of them are bootlegs. A lot of those are out on CD now, but some of them I know are not.

It will take years to transfer this stuff into the digital realms. And that does not include the 900 VHS tapes I have.

I've got them too. But I've never seen BIG COUNTRY mentioned here... Awesome - Scottish or not - band!!
There's only U2 I haven't bought on CD. I'd rather have a sip of Big Country than a gallon of U2 anyway.
