Once again, we don’t know much about this video, other than it’s from the band Dokken, the song is “Walk Away” (their only hit from their 1988 album Beast from the East that was recorded live in Japan in April of 1988) and that this is rare acoustic live version of the song. For those of you not familiar with the band, Dokken was a metal band formed in the…
What can you say about Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band? Bob was a popular Detroit area singer-songwriter who performed and recorded under various band names in the late 60’s and early 70’s until he put together the Silver Bullet Band with a group of other Michigan musicians in 1973. He and the boys were launched onto the national state in 1976 with the release of Live Bullet recorded live in…
What can I say about this incredible song? Some in the music business call “I’m Not In Love” by 10cc “…one of the great multi-track hits of all time …” right up there with Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” I’m not sure I would go that far, but I remember quite clearly when the song came out in the summer of 1975 and thinking at the time–and still do–that this song just…
Who remembers seeing John Belushi do an impression of Joe Cocker with the actual Joe Cocker during the second season of Saturday Night Live? Here’s the the full performance with an intro from Chevy Chase! Here’s more on that historic evening from Live for Live Music: On this day in 1976 (October 2), during the show’s second season, Joe Cocker came to SNL as a musical guest, and performed his hit…
Don’t know much about this video, other than it was filmed early in 1974, not long after Rush released their first self-titled album. Rush was released on March 1, 1974 by the band’s own label Moon Records in Canada and by Mercury Records in the United States and internationally. According to interviews over the years, the members of Rush were fans of such bands as Led Zeppelin and Cream, and those…
Mötley Crüe’s “Home Sweet Home” was originally released in 1985 on their Theatre of Pain album, and then again in 1991 for the Decade of Decadence 81-91 compilation album. The song originally charted at number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100, and eventually peaked at number 37 on the same chart in 1992. When it was released in 1985 “Home Sweet Home” was accompanied by a music video which documented Mötley…
Southern rock fans know–and frequently pay homage to–Lynyrd Skynyrd’s classic “Free Bird” which was released in 1974 on the band’s debut album, Pronounced ‘Lĕh-‘nérd ‘Skin-‘nérd that went on to become one of the all time classics. Earlier this week, someone sent me a link to an early demo version of the song, claiming to be recorded in 1970 by Ronnie Van Zant and the band. (You’ll notice a slight variation on…
Never heard of Planet P Project? Well, neither had we until we received a very nice request to post this video from one of our readers! Ever on the course of musical growth and development, we did some research and found not on the song, but this funky music video from 1983 with features and wild 1950’s sci-fi vibe. Not sure why, but hey, it was the 80s’ and people…
No video of the band to go along with this–although there are some cool videos and special effects timed to the music–but if you ever wondered what it was like to be at a complete Pink Floyd concert back in the day, here’s your chance. This audio was recorded back in November of 1974 at Wembley Arena as part of the band’s British Winter Tour that year and features the…
I hadn’t heard this song in YEARS when I came across it today! What a joy to my ears, and an immediate flashback in my mind to my youth when this song was popular on the radio. I have to admit I watched the video several times and just couldn’t get enough of the Spanish guitar solo opening by Peter White. Doing research on this song, I found out an…
