So while doing a little quick research on if this show had been officially released yet or not I found out something that I found really weird. There has actually been no official re-release of any Buckingham Nicks material since the initial release of their album. The Deluxe Expanded Edition by Rino Records is actually Unofficial. In the most recent interviews with Lindsey Buckingham about the material he stated he and Stevie Nicks have had conversations about needing to do something official about the material. He also states that is as far as the discussions have gotten. With the current state of Stevie and Lindsey's relationship they may never come together for this purpose. It would be nice for the fans if they could at least have a producer they trust come in and go through the tapes. The 2 former partners could then come in separately to approve or disapprove of the mixes and packaging. Lindsey seems sincere in wanting to do something with the material, with all sympathies to Stevie who says that the relationship was abusive, she may never want to and rightly so.

This is a compilation of 2 separate TV appearances by The Jefferson Airplane. The main body of this recording is from the April 1970 performance from Wally Heider Studios. Just two songs "Eskimo Blue Day" and "Ballad Of You & Me & Pooneil" are from the February 1970 performance at The Family Dog. The Airplane would last roughly 2 more years before becoming The Jefferson Starship. The last two shows of the 1972 tour held at Winterland in San Francisco would be the end of Airplane live shows until 1989. Out of the ashes of The Airplane of course came The Jefferson Starship, but also the band Hot Tuna so some great music was till to be made by all.

"You Really Got Me" and "All Day And All Night" are 2 songs that straddle both worlds of Heavy Metal and Punk Rock influence. Iggy Pop and members of Van Halen say The Kinks had a big influence on their song writing. A big sounding guitar riff and a simple memorable sing along chorus. The Kinks did something a lot of British bands didn't, they stayed very obviously British. Ray Davies never tried to lose his accent when singing or conversing. This truth to self is one thing that endeared The Kinks to the UK & American Punk scenes. You could tell a UK Punk band from an American Punk band even after they started copying each other's styles, the UK accent was always there.

I went to see a local Michigan Punk band called Bachus with a friend because he heard they were great. They were not great, they were barely good. They did however open with a decent rendition of The Kinks' "Give The People What They Want". It was their only cover, they should have played more, they faded pretty quick.

I love The Who Live! It took them a while to actually get a decent representation of their live power on a studio album. The critics all agree that Who's Next was that album. I agree with them on this point. Still, my favorite Who album is Live At Leeds. Basically it was the second Who release I owned. It was on 8-track tape...so yes I am old (lol). I was also given a little before that the American release Magic Bus The Who On Tour. A compilation of early Who tracks that were from singles or EPs. The early recordings sounded real thin to me but Live At Leeds blew me away. The power reminded me of bands like Vanilla Fudge, The Jeff Beck Group and Led Zeppelin.

I can't remember when it was but not too long ago Pete Townshend made a statement that The Who had invented Heavy Metal with Live At Leeds. It was some what controversial with some Metal Heads and critics. Now me I believe a little more like this: The Who was definitely an influence on Heavy Metal and on Punk Rock. The tones and performance on Live At Leeds were just as instrumental as the more accepted Metal influences. The MC5, Blue Cheer, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Vanilla Fudge and The Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart are all accepted as Proto-Metal Hard Rock Bands. The thing I found interesting is how many US Punk Rockers I met that loved The Who and hated almost every one else. Anyway this is another version of a very well known Who show, but it sounds real good!
