Single Track Shows - SBD, FM - Needing To Be Split - Update

Here's a link to a Mega folder containing 31 FM or SBD concerts in mp3 320.  The list was once well over 75 shows, but thanks to the help of many of you, we've got it down to just over 30.

All are single files, however that need to be split into tracks.  For every show in the folder, I have provided a corresponding info file that contains the set list.

If anyone wants to split any of these into tracks, I'd be very appreciative. If you do, just share a link to the split tracks in a comment below this post.

Thanks in advance for any help!
Enjoy the tunz.

NOTE: As folks split shows, I will remove them from the folder to avoid duplication!

For Bruce Hornsby, the year 1996 marked the 10th anniversary of the release of his Grammy Award winning debut album, The Way It Is. Rather than look backward, however, Hornsby continued to find ways to push his musical style forward. The cover of his recently released album, Hot House, featured an imagined jam session between bluegrass legend Bill Monroe and jazz legend Charlie Parker, two genres of music that Hornsby incorporated into the songs on that disc. The album also featured guest appearances by such diverse artists as Bela Fleck, Pat Metheney and the late Jerry Garcia. During this period, Hornsby's concerts took on a more improvisational tone, as he often took requests from the audience, rather than work from a set list. He would challenge himself to find ways to seamlessly string together diverse requests, turning the album versions of songs into more complex arrangements. As he says on his website, "I think of my songs as living beings that evolve and change and grow through the years." In his continuing quest to grow and evolve his music, Hornsby also participated in the Furthur Festival in the summer of 1996, one of the many Grateful Dead family endeavors launched in the wake of the death of Jerry Garcia. His band played along with Bob Weir & Ratdog, Mickey Hart's Mystery Box, Hot Tuna, Los Lobos and others. This soundboard recordinmg captures Hornsby a few weeks before th Furthur tour, in Northampton on May 21, 1996, 3 decades ago today.  His focus on collaborating with diverse artists is evident as he gets some help from Jimmy Herring, Kofi Burbridge and John Molo during the show.

When Rockpile unexpectedly disbanded in 1981, Dave Edmunds made wholesale changes in his musical life. He switched record labels, moving from Swan Song to Arista. He put together a new band, which included guitarist Mickey Gee, bassist John David, pianist Geraint Watkins, and drummer Dave Charles. That group would record and tour with Edmunds throughout the rest of the 1980s. Amidst all that change, one thing stayed the same -- Edmunds' ability to play good old straight ahead rock and roll. This FM broadcast captures Edmunds and his new band in Washington, DC on May 20, 1982, 44 years ago today. In addition to songs from his then soon to be released album DE7, Edmunds also plays tunes from his days with Nick Lowe, as well as his 1970 hit, I Hear You Knockin'.

TEN RULES OF THE ROAD I LEARNED AT MY FIRST CONCERT: UPDATED & EXPANDED EDITION

Countless "truth is stranger than fiction" tales, 177 magical concerts, 100 unique bands, 50 years of finding a way to the next show, and 10 Rules Of The Road all add up to 1 ordinary guy's extraordinary love letter to live rock & roll. 

And now, the book with a 4.4 star review on Amazon just got even better - welcome to the updated and expanded 2025 edition of TEN RULES OF THE ROAD I LEARNED AT MY FIRST CONCERT: AN ORDINARY GUY'S LIFETIME OF LIVE ROCK & ROLL!

The new edition is 582 pages, with over 250 pages of brand new content including:
  • updates elements to every section of the book – the rules, the essays, the concert summaries, and the statistics.
  • more tales from my 20th century concert adventures that I dredged out of my memory that didn't make the first edition
  • details of all the shows I’ve attended since 2021, after the first edition was published, until today
  • complete re-writes of Rules #2, #5, #6, #7, # 8 and #10, as well as the Grateful Dead essay, have been almost completely re-written. 
  • consolidating the Song Selection essays from three to two but adding more songs to each remaining chapter in the process, doubling the number of tunes covered from 40 to 80. 
  • replacing the discarded song essay, with a new one about the relationship between rock & roll and Broadway, a unique pairing that only really came into focus for me in the last year or so. 
  • adding numerous new charts/tables to the statistics section
  • quadrupling the number of setlists from shows I attended.  
  • re-editing the entire book to clean up some areas that either seemed cumbersome or didn’t flow well 
  • reformatting the entire book to give it a more professional look and feel. 
It's bigger! It's  better! It's the perfect holiday gift for the rock and roll fan in your life!  And the paperback is still only $14.99!

In early 1976, Billy Joel returned to New York after spending almost 4 years in Los Angeles. He recorded Turnstiles, his 4th album, at Ultrasonic Studios in his native Long Island. Three of the album's tracks celebrate his return home by specifically referencing New York: Summer, Highland Falls, New York State Of Mind and Miami 2017. In addition, the opening number, Say Goodbye to Hollywood, is his not so fond farewell to the West Coast. While the album only climbed to #122 in the Billboard charts, it did help launch Billy on his first headline tour. This FM broadcast captures Joel i Australia on May 19, 1976, 50 years ago today.

In early 1976, Hall & Oates released the single Sara Smile, on RCA records, which became the group’s first top 10 hit. Then in July, their former record company, Atlantic, re-released the single She’s Gone, hoping to capitalize on the success of Sara Smile. It worked, as the song climbed to #7 on the Billboard charts. RCA had the last laugh, however, when the band’s next single, Rich Girl, from the 1976 album, Bigger Than Both of Us, became the duo’s first number one hit! This soundboard recording captures Hall & Oates during their climb to the top of the charts, in London on May 18, 1976, a half century ago today.
