I recently posted a couple of concert albums by Chick Corea and his band Return to Forever, and John McLaughlin and his band the Mahavishnu Orchestra (as I write this in August 2026). I'm not into that kind of jazz. But I do want to post all the worthy concerts from certain concert series, and I know other people do like this kind of music. So here's a Herbie Hancock concert from that same time…
I've posted a bunch of tribute concerts to musical greats, but I've missed this one until now. On February 9, 1964, the Beatles performed on the "Ed Sullivan" TV show in the U.S. This concert was meant to honor the 50th anniversary of that performance. It was filmed on January 27, 2014, but was broadcast nationally on February 9, 2014, which was 50 years to the exact day. The main highlight was…
Now that I've finished posting everything from the Ebbets Field radio broadcasts (aside from a couple of possible stragglers), I want to focus more on posting other on-going series, like concerts from the Record Plant, Ultrasonic, Midnight Special, and the bottomless well of BBC recordings. So here's another Record Plant recording. This one features a musical act new to this blog, Suzi Quatro.…
Here is the third and final part of the 1989 "Hungerthon" benefit concert held at the United Nations building in New York City. This one is a set by Crosby, Stills and Nash. I've posted the 1988 Hungerthon at this blog as well. (It's the only other one I can find, at least so far.) In that one, Crosby, Stills and Nash were the final act as well, the main headliner. But in that concert, their set…
Here's Part 2 of the 1989 "Hungerthon" concert benefit that took place inside the United Nations in New York City. This time, it's a short set by Michael Hedges. I'm a big fan of the music of Michael Hedges. I think he was a great guitarist, but also very underrated as a singer. I'm surprised this is the first time I'm posting any music from him. I'll have to post more from him soon. He died far…
Back in 2024, I posted a 1988 "Hungerthon" concert that took place at the United Nations (U.N.) building in New York City. This seems to have been a yearly event for some time. I couldn't find anything about the other years, but I found most or all of the 1989 concert, which also took place at the U.N. building. I found enough for three parts. Here's "Part 1." It seems this concert took place in…
Here's the second part of a three-hour long benefit concert starring Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi, as well as Southside Johnny, Little Steven, Clarence Clemons, Richie Sambora, and more. For more details about this concert and what it was for, check out the write-up for "Part 1." This is a unique concert that's kind of a merger of Springsteen's E Street Band and Bon Jovi. Clearly, they were…
Here's a really interesting concert that's a pinnacle of New Jersey rock and roll. It mainly stars Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi (of Bon Jovi), but also Southside Johnny, Little Steven, Richie Sambora, Patti Scialfa, and Clarence Clemons, as well as other members of Bon Jovi and Springsteen's E Street Band. They shared the stage in various combinations for the entire duration of this long…
Here is the second and last of BBC sessions albums for the British band Blue Mink. As mentioned in the write-up for "Volume 1," Blue Mink was fairly popular in Britain in the early 1970s, having six Top Ten hits there. However, they never had any commercial success in the U.S. During the time period of this album, they had three big British hits: "The Banner Man," "Stay with Me," and "Randy." This…
I recently posted a couple of Maria Muldaur albums. Based on some comments, it looks like those got a pretty good reaction. So when I stumbled across this concert the other day, I decided to post it right away. One other reason I posted this is because it turns out that it was the opening act for a Bonnie Raitt concert I posted at this blog ages ago. You can find that here:…
