Pink Floyd - The Empire Pool Show in 1974 and some More...

Pink Floyd – Empire Pool Wembley 14 November 1974
As part of the British Winter Tour 1974, Pink Floyd played four gigs at the Empire Pool, Wembley. These great pictures were taken the first night on the (14th November) by John Baxter to whom we say a big thanks.

Por sugestão do Monster, segue um álbum raro de uma de minhas bandas preferidas.
Primeiro disco ao vivo do Dark Side, em 1974. Pink Floyd tocando maravilhosamente o álbum, com uma Jam de David Gilmour em Time.

Jethro Tull - Aqualung (1971)

Aqualung chegou à 7ª colocação das paradas de álbuns pop da Billboard. O single "Hymn 43" ficou em 91° lugar nas paradas de singles pop da mesma publicação. O primeiro lado do LP contém uma série de temas com seis personagens, incluindo indivíduos de reputação questionável (o personagem-título "Aqualung" e "Cross-Eyed Mary") e duas passagens autobiográficas, incluindo "Cheap Day Return", composta por Ian Anderson quando retornava de uma visita a seu pai, então seriamente doente. A mensagem contida nas letras do lado-B são em geral descritas como "pró-Deus, mas antiigreja", e afirmam que a religião organizada pode na verdade restringir o relacionamento de uma pessoa com seu Deus, ao invés de melhorá-lo. Em uma entrevista lançada em Aqualung Live (2005) Anderson refutou as especulações de que este seria um álbum conceitual. Aqualung está na lista dos 200 álbuns definitivos no Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Deep Purple - 1972 - Made in Japan

O ano era 1972. O Deep Purple estava no auge de sua carreira, graças principalmente à mudança de estilo que coincidiu com a mudança em sua formação três anos antes, com a entrada de Ian Gillan nos vocais e Roger Glover no baixo. A musicalidade da banda fluiu como nunca, incorporando peso e técnica na medida certa. Em pouco tempo, a banda havia lançado uma obra prima após outra: “In Rock” (1970), “Fireball” (1971) e, principalmente, “Machine Head” (1972). E durante a tour deste último, no Japão, foram registrados, pelo engenheiro de som Martin Birch, quatro shows que serviriam de base para um álbum ao vivo. Da primeira apresentação quase nada se aproveitou, dada a timidez dos músicos com o fato de estarem sendo gravados. Tal timidez desapareceu na segunda noite, e a perfomance elétrica de sempre tomou conta do palco. Nascia “Made In Japan”, que inicialmente seria lançado apenas em terras nipônicas, mas dada a qualidade inegável das gravações, acabou sendo lançado também no resto do mundo para a felicidade geral da nação rockeira. Versões arrasadoras de “Child In Time”, “Highway Star”, “Lazy” e, principalmente, “Smoke On The Water” ajudam a compor este, que na opinião de muitos especialistas, é o álbum ao vivo definitivo na história do rock and roll. A versão mais recente em CD traz a adição de “Speed King”, “Black Night” e a cover de “Lucille”, de Little Richards, servindo para incrementar ainda mais o que já era perfeito.

Metallica - Hard Rock (USA)

Metallica is an American heavy metal band. The band was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles, California by drummer Lars Ulrich and vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield, and has been based in San Francisco, California for most of its career. The group's fast tempos, instrumentals and aggressive musicianship made them one of the founding "big four" bands of thrash metal, alongside Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer. Metallica's current lineup comprises founding members Hetfield and Ulrich, longtime lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo. Guitarist Dave Mustaine (who went on to form Megadeth) and bassists Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton and Jason Newsted are former members of the band.

Metallica earned a growing fan base in the underground music community and won critical acclaim with its first five albums. The band's third album, Master of Puppets (1986), was described as one of the heaviest and most influential thrash metal albums; its eponymous fifth album, Metallica (1991), the band's first to root predominantly in heavy metal, appealed to a more mainstream audience, achieving substantial commercial success and selling over 16 million copies in the United States to date, making it the best-selling album of the SoundScan era. After experimenting with different genres and directions in subsequent releases, the band returned to its thrash metal roots with the release of its ninth album, Death Magnetic (2008), which drew similar praise to that of the band's earlier albums.

Puddle of Mudd - Alternative Rock (USA)

Puddle of Mudd is an American rock band formed in 1991. To date, the band has sold over seven million albums and has had a string of No. 1 mainstream rock singles in the United States. Their major-label debut Come Clean has sold over five million copies. They have released an extended play, an independent album and four major-label albums, with their latest being Volume 4: Songs in the Key of Love & Hate in December 2009, and their most recent compilation album being re:(disc)overed, released in August 2011.

Puddle of Mudd was formed on September 13, 1991, in Kansas City by Wes Scantlin (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Jimmy Allen (lead guitar), Sean Sammon (bass), and Kenny Burkitt (drums).[Note 1] According to Scantlin, the band name was inspired by practicing next to the Missouri river levee, which always inundated the band's practice space, but never ruined their equipment since they were on the second floor. In order to get to their practice space, the band "had to walk through a pile of shit." The group's first release, Stuck, was an EP released in 1994 on V&R Records. It was produced by the band and E.J. Rose, and was recorded at Red House Studio in Lawrence, Kansas. It spawned two radio singles (the first was "You Don't Know", the second "Drift and Die").

Minus Jimmy Allen, the group released their debut album, Abrasive, in 1997 on Hardknocks Records. It had eleven tracks, all written by the band, three of which would eventually make it on to Puddle of Mudd's first major-label release. Differences of opinion and other factors led to the break-up of the original Puddle of Mudd by early 1999, leaving Scantlin as the only original member. Kenny and Sean were still in the band, and Wes had gone out as a DJ for his girlfriend.

Nightwish - Symphonic Prog Metal (Finland)

Nightwish is a symphonic metal band from Kitee, Finland. The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, and former lead singer Tarja Turunen. The band soon picked up drummer Jukka Nevalainen, and then bassist Sami Vänskä after the release of their debut album, Angels Fall First (1997). In 2001, Vänskä was replaced by Marco Hietala, who also took over the male vocalist role previously filled by Holopainen or guest singers.

Although Nightwish have been prominent in their home country since Angels Fall First, they did not achieve wider success until the release of the albums Oceanborn (1998), Wishmaster (2000) and Century Child (2002). Their 2004 album, Once, has sold more than one million copies and was the band's breakthrough in the United States. Their biggest US hit single, "Wish I Had an Angel" (2004), received MTV airplay and was included on three US film soundtracks to promote their North American tour. The band produced three more singles and two music videos for Once, as well as a re-recording of "Sleeping Sun" for the compilation album, Highest Hopes: The Best of Nightwish (2005), before Turunen's dismissal in October 2005. Her last performance with Nightwish was during a concert recorded for the live album/DVD End of an Era. After the concert, the other members informed Turunen with an open letter that she was no longer a member of Nightwish.

In May 2007, Nightwish announced Anette Olzon as Turunen's replacement. That September, the band released their sixth album, Dark Passion Play, which has sold almost 2 million copies. The album's lead single, "Amaranth", became one of Nightwish's most successful in Europe. The supporting tour, one of the band's largest, started on October 6, 2007 and ended on September 19, 2009...
