OU: This is a nice-sounding soundboard of Fire Down Under-era Riot. My CD is entitled "Feel The Fire" and features a bonus version of "Warrior" with Rhett Forrester on vocals as track 13. I removed this from my upload as I couldn't be sure that this wasn't on some live compilation or something (I'm also aware that there was a Rhett-era live album and I wasn't sure where that was from). Also, I can't confirm this as I don't have the CD case itself to hand, but I think the show was mislabelled as being from 1982.
I'm quite new to this, but spectral (using Adobe Soundbooth) and frequency (using Audacity) analysis indicates (to me, at least) that this is true lossless.

01 Swords And Tequila
02 Fire Down Under
03 Altar Of The King
04 Feel The Same
05 Don't Bring Me Down
06 Don't Hold Back
07 Overdrive

Riot: Long Island 1981 (FM) FLAC

riot
9/15/81
My Father's Place
WLIR - FM A minus
Long Island, NY
Supporting Fire Down Under album
lineage: cdr received in trade->EAC file extraction->Traders Little Helper for FLAC encoding

This cd starts out kind of warbly, then it stabilizes and starts rockin' by the second track.

From wiki:
Riot began when Kon-Tiki members Mark Reale (guitar) and Peter Bitelli (drums) recruited Phil Fiet (bass) and Guy Speranza (vocals) and recorded a four-track demo which they hoped would be included in a proposed compilation of new rock bands. While waiting for the project to get off the ground they added Steve Costello on keyboards.
Reale took the various demos to New York based producers Billy Arnell and Steve Loeb, who also owned Greene Street Recording Studio and the independent label Fire-Sign Records. Arnell & Loeb turned down the compilation proposal but signed Riot. The band added second guitarist Louie Kouvaris, replaced Fiet with Jimmy Iommi and recorded its debut album, Rock City. After a promising start and support slots with AC/DC and Molly Hatchet, the band were unable to maintain momentum, and were on the verge of breaking up for good by 1979.
In that year however, the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal took off, and the band came to the attention of Neal Kay who spread the word about them in Britain. British fans bought imported copies of Rock City which was recorded and produced by Billy Arnell and Steve Loeb and released on their Fire Sign Records. Encouraged, Arnell & Loeb recorded the band's new album Narita. In the course of recording, Kouvaris was replaced by band roadie Rick Ventura.
Subsequent to a successful support of Sammy Hagar on his US Texas tour Capitol Records offered Riot a worldwide deal for Narita, mostly to support Hagar. Capitol and Hagar needed a harder, younger edge to associate with him, so Riot was chosen if they agreed to support Hagar on his UK tour. Hagar and Riot had a successful tour, but Riot was dropped by Capitol as soon as they were finished promoting Hagar.
Riot's management, Billy Arnell and Steve Loeb spent their last dollars remaining from the Capitol advance retaining important indie FM radio promotions to promote the Riot album. They put it on as many radio stations around the country as possible, thus raising the radio profile enough to where Capitol picked up their option for another record. And thus began Riot's biggest selling album titled Fire Down Under.
When the record was completed some months later, Capitol turned the record down calling it "commercially unacceptable" which put the band in contractual limbo. Capitol also refused to let the band out of the contract and insisted if the band wanted off Capitol, they would have to sue. A campaign was organized and financed by producer Billy Arnell & Steve Loeb with fans around the world, but especially in the UK where the fans picketed the offices of EMI Records. Finally Elektra Records worked things out with Capitol's Rupert Perry and signed Riot and immediately released Fire Down Under which then soared into the Billboard Top 100 chart.
