The Band - Live in Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City 1973 | Hear Rock City

No,Was All He Said...


Smoker says "Rootsy Rock from Bob Dylan's former 
backing band,
The Band.
Excellent sound,performance and musicianship 
here.
For those who're in the mood for
the lighter side of Rock n Roll. 

From Roosevelt Stadium back in ’73."















We maybe don’t post enough from the Hear Rock City Smoker 
and the guys but hope this makes up for it . . . .
sometimes a bit too heavy rock for me, 
there is the occasional gem from my taste buds!

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble- Live in Fitzgerald’s Houston TEXAS 1983 | Hear Rock City

Man, I'm Standing Out in The Rain...



Smoker says "An excellent sounding recording of the Blues man at his best.
A long full show of 23 tracks with great solos and Bluesy Jams.
What a great player he was a real shame that he and his band mates 
died in the dreadful helicopter crash in 1990."



Have at it . . .you know you want to

Thanks to UFO Steve and Smoker

Humble Pie Rehearsal Demos 1991 - Stevie Marriott & Pete Frampton | HEAR ROCK CITY

 The last knockings? 

the LAST ROCKINGS more like

This is nice . . some hard rockin’  after the Mod Father found his so called ‘pub rock’ roots there came this . . . . . . who can say where it would have taken them . . . . . .sadly this is said to be the last effort caught on tape before Stevie was killed in the car crash! Lovely hard quality and well worth it!




Smoker says - "Said to be the last sessions by Steve Marriott 
who along with Peter Frampton were working in 
the studios  in Los Angeles early 1991
 on songs for a possible Humble Pie reunion album.
Here are 12 good sounding tracks from those sessions
Unfortunately the project would end with the 
sad untimely death of Steve Marriott  in April 1991."

The Beatles Alternate Version Vol I 1963-1965 and Vol II 1966-1968 | HEAR ROCK CITY

The Beatles Alternate Takes Vol I & II - Hear Rock City

See How They Run...

These are fun! From Smoker over at Hear Rock City and he says: 

"A couple of Beatles compilations.
Titled "The Alternate Versions".
Covering the years 1963 - '68.
The band have just released
their final single to great acclaim.
Very strange that the two most talked about
bands at the moment are, 
The Beatles & The Rolling Stones.
60 years later..."








Extramely good quality and fascinating as ever to hear different takes . . . .thought I would have these but can’t find exactly these mixes . . . . nice one smoker!

and always remember . . . . .
