Pink Floyd – 1994.03.30 – Joe Robbie Stadium, Miami, FL [SBD]

Pink Floyd were an English rock band formed in London. They achieved international acclaim with their progressive and Pink Floyd 94 Front Coverpsychedelic music. Distinguished by their use of philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, extended compositions and elaborate live shows, they are one of the most commercially successful and influential groups in the history of popular music. Pink Floyd were founded in 1965 by students Syd Barrett on guitar and lead vocals, Nick Mason on drums, Roger Waters on bass and vocals, and Richard Wright on keyboards and vocals. They gained popularity performing in London’s underground music scene during the late 1960s, and under Barrett’s leadership released two charting singles and a successful debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967). Guitarist and vocalist David Gilmour joined in December 1967; Barrett left in April 1968 due to deteriorating mental health. Waters became the band’s Pink Floyd 94 Back Coverprimary lyricist and conceptual leader, devising the concepts behind their albums The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), The Wall (1979) and The Final Cut (1983). The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall became two of the best-selling albums of all time. Following creative tensions, Wright left Pink Floyd in 1979, followed by Waters in 1985. Gilmour and Mason continued as Pink Floyd; Wright rejoined them as a session musician and, later, a band member. The three produced two more albums: A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) and The Division Bell (1994), and toured through 1994. This great quality bootleg catches them in the midst of The Division Bell US tour in 1994.

Dio – 1984.10.05 – Hammersmith, London, UK [FM]

dio-hammersmith84frontDio was an American heavy metal band formed in 1982 and led by vocalist Ronnie James Dio, after he left Black Sabbath with intentions to form a new band with fellow former Black Sabbath member, drummer Vinny Appice.  The name Dio was chosen because it made sense from a commercial standpoint, as the name was already well known at that time.  The band dissolved in 2010 when Ronnie James Dio died of stomach cancer at the age of 67.  When being interviewed by Classic Rock Magazine from the UK, Dio guitarist Craig Goldy stated “We were working on tracks for a new Dio album just before Ronnie died in May. dio-hammersmith84backAnd we did almost finish one song.  Wendy [Dio, Ronnie’s widow/manager] has been talking about reissuing [DIO‘s] ‘Magica‘ album (originally released in 2000) with bonus tracks, including this one.” Goldy goes on to say of the lyrics, that they were written by Dio when he was fighting cancer, and are “very emotional” and “hard to listen to without a lump at the back of your throat”.  On March 18, It was announced that the surviving members of the final line-up of Dio would embark on a project with former Judas Priest front man Tim “Ripper” Owens under the moniker DIO Disciples. The project has been touring extensively since 2011.

The first concert segment was Deep Purple 1991, Sao Paulo, Brazil.  DP Sao Paulo 1991 FrontDeep Purple was formed in 1968, originally as a progressive rock band, moving on to hard rock in 1970.  They were listed in the 1975 Guinness Book of World Records as “the globe’s loudest band” for a 1972 concert in the Rainbow Theatre, London.  The band has seen quite a few lineup changes.  The early ones from 1968-1976, until their breakup, were referred to as Mark I, II, III, and IV.  Their second lineup, (1969-1973, 1984-1989, and 1992-1993) was by far their most successful, and was attributed to causing their success.  These members were:  Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), Roger Glover (bass)DP Sao Paulo 1991 Back, Ian Gillan (vocals), Jon Lord (keyboards), and Ian Paice (drums).  Joe Lynn Turner handled the vocals between 1989 and 1992, until Ian Gillan rejoined.  After Lord’s retirement, and subsequent passing, Ian Paice is the only original band member.  The current lineup is:  Steve Morse (guitar), Roger Glover (bass), Ian Gillan (vocals),  Ian Paice (drums), and Don Airey (keyboards).

 

The next concert segment of the broadcast was CD 12 (of 13) of ACDC the Complete Soundboard Collection with Bon ScottACDC Soundboard Front 1976-1979.  Bon Scott took over lead vocalist duties from Dave Evans in 1974, until his untimely death in London Feb. 1980 after a night of hard drinking.  Bon Scott helped propel the band’s popularity high on the charts with the ‘Highway to Hell‘ tour in 1979.  This concert is a soundboard recording from that tour.  It was recorded ACDC Soundboard Int10at the Hammersmith, Odeon in London on 2 Nov. 1979.  As the liner notes state, this is the complete concert, but has never been broadcast completely, even though it had been broadcast previously on the BBC.  This is some of ACDC and Bon Scott’s finest work, and guaranteed them a place in the charts for years to come.  No one can ever replace Bon Scott, even though Brian Johnson did a fine job on Back in Black (which was a tribute to Bon), and on successive albums.

 

The last concert segment of the broadcast was Judas Priest Breaking the Law 1981.  Judas Priest was formed in 1969.  Judas Priest Breaking The Law frontIn 2006, MTV rated them as the second Greatest Metal Band of all time.  They were best known for their twin lead guitars and their vocalist’s operatic style.  The band’s largest success was during the years 1979-1989 with the lineup Rob Halford (vocals), K.K. Downing (guitar), Glenn Tipton (guitar, keyboards), Ian Hill (bass), and Dave Holland (drums).  It was during this period in 1980 that the album British Steel helped them to soar in the charts.  It was at the end of this period in 1989 when theyJudas Priest Breaking The Law back[/UAS_loggedin] were named as defendants in an unsuccessful lawsuit that alleged that subliminal messages on their albums caused two young men to commit suicide via shotgun after a night of drinking, smoking pot, and listening to Priest.  This concert was the Point of Entry tour, Chicago, 21 Jun 1981 and came on the heels of British Steel.  This concert catches the band at their heyday as their success was peaking.  (Their best selling album was the 1982 Screaming for Vengeance.)
