Jumpin Jupiter

Link: http://www.jupiterjack.com

Well I can say for SURE, summer 2009 is ova!

 

I found this new gadget (I'm a computer buff too, not just a musicologist) called "Jupiter Jack" and the link is listed above.  The only downside, it needs a battery every once in awhile.  The upside is I've been told it's rechargable and the device, enables a cell phone (and most likely an MP3 player) to be hands free, transmitting FM broadcasts at 99.3 FM so the whole audio device is your speaker phone.  Jupiter Jack is under $20. plus MA state tax (or wherever you are).

 

 

 

I've got enough candy to last till waaaaay past Thanksgiving!

Sky", "Send Her My Love"

I think the only one left is "This Life" has had their time upon all shores

October 2, 2009: Journey To Release Historic DVD Set

Link: http://www.journeymusic.com

JOURNEY TO RELEASE HISTORIC LIVE IN MANILA DVD OCTOBER 2ND:
Journey’s Live In Manila two-DVD set will be released October 2, 2009. Filmed with RED technology, which utilizes special 4K high-definition cameras with a resolution exceeding 35mm film that gives the footage an extra dynamic quality, the DVD captures Journey’s historic concert in Manila, Philippines. 


Performing more than two hours’ worth of classic favorites, as well as new hits from the band’s latest album, Revelation, Live In Manila documents the triumphant homecoming of the band’s singer Arnel Pineda.

On March 14, 2009, Journey returned to Pineda’s homeland and introduced him as their new lead singer to a crowd of nearly 30,000. Group members Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain, Ross Valory, and Deen Castronovo swelled with pride as they witnessed the Filipino people embrace Arnel and the music of Journey.

By the time of the Manila concert, more than 800,000 copies of Revelation the band’s first album with Arnel had been sold, and was supported with sold-out shows all over the world.

The Live In Manila DVD, like Revelation, is being sold exclusively at Walmart in North America.

Live In Manila Track Listing:

Disc One 1. Never Walk Away 2. Only The Young 3. Ask The Lonely 4. Stone In Love 5. Keep On Running 6. After All These Years 7. Change For The Better 8. Wheel In The Sky 9. Lights/ Still They Ride 10. Open Arms 11. Mother Father 12. Wildest Dreams 13. When You Love A Woman 14. Separate Ways 15. What I Needed.

Disc Two 16. Edge Of The Blade 17. Where Did I Lose Your Love 18. Escape 19. Faithfully 20. Don't Stop Believin' 21. Anyway You Want It 22. Lovin' Touchin' 23. Turn Down The World 24. Be Good To Yourself.

Revelation debuted on Billboard’s Top 200 album chart at No. 5 in the U.S and entered the national charts in six European countries in its first week of release. Within a few months, Revelation was certified platinum, Journey’s 11th album to achieve that status. In the fall of 2008, Journey’s classic “Don’t Stop Believin’” set a new high-water mark for digital downloads, topping 2 million in sales, making it the most downloaded catalogue track ever.

Journey plays with a passion and commitment that wows both longtime fans and new generations of listeners alike. More than 700,000 fans attended their 2008 tour alone to hear the new hit singles “Never Walk Away” and “After All These Years” as well as the staggering catalogue of hits such as “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Any Way You Want It,” “Open Arms,” “Faithfully,” “Stone In Love,” and “Separate Ways."  -Source: http://www.melodicrock.com

KISS

Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3Kx4a2B_R4


Does anyone else believe Eric Singer of KISS (CatMan) could sing a great "Fight The Good Fight"
or "Rock And Roll Machine" by Triumph with that high octave range of Rik Emmit to contend with?

I do!

Highlights from KISS's first night at Cobo Arena, Detroit 9/25/09
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3Kx4a2B_R4

KISS is due to be with Jay Leno this week.
Here's "Modern Day Delilah" live in concert by KISS:

KISS's "Sonic Boom" is out October 6, 2009 Tuesday exclusively at Walmart
as a inexpensive 2 CD / DVD packaging found at KISS corner.

KISS will be at the TD Garden October 5, 2009, Monday and probably will
perform "Modern Day Delilah" (from "Sonic Boom") along with the Alive 35!
World Tour complete, entirety 1975's "Alive!" the performance of.

Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer (lead guitar, drums and both lead and backing vocals)
respectively replace founding members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss (of whom have been
nominated with co-founding members Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons to the 
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame with Genesis and The Red Hot Chili Peppers.)

Tommy sings "When Lightning Strikes" and Eric sings "All For The Glory"
and are standouts on their own.  This is good melodic classic rock and roll
and there is not a bad track on this release, I'm pleasently suprised!

From a KISS fan of 35 yrs.

"Sister I Believe"

"Sister I Believe"
2002 & April 2004

 


It's in the back,it's in the forefront
It is on my computer screen
It is all yourpublicized dreams and schemes
Notes just, just being written
From the toneof your voice
I heard you were learning
Your own accord andchoice

The keys are keyed, musicality seed
Hand in sand in need
Myheart it bleeds
Sister, I believe

Many years taken from me
"OhJesus" are the words you said
The thousand dollar, thousand dollarquestion
Now that is influence I've used
I suppose it's just what yousaid
Star over time, it's in my head
Soon I will be reachin'instead

The keys are keyed, musicality seed
Hand in sand in need
Myheart it bleeds
Sister, I believe

Standing around here I feel

Ifeel I know the words
I am on stable ground
I am so very confident hereand now
Somehow I am stationary
For you not I, that is easy tosay
Playing for you a note, a melody in your head
Toeing the line, makingrhyme

The keys are keyed, musicality seed
Hand in sand in need
Oh,my heart it does bleed, Sister, I believe
Sister, I believe

 

 


This piece of lyrical content, "Sister I Believe"came from a 8X11 inch paper crammed with sentences and words.  First as a poppylightweight musical score and power rockvocals, it became a ballad when the originalpianist left.  This is take #4 and the onlycopy (aside from the take #4 masters) available as a freestream.  The piano was performed with "You Take My Breath Away" byQueen from their 1976release "A Day At The Races" in mind while the harmonicaand vocals are what happened whilst listening toBruce Springsteen & The E Street Band "Nebraska" from 1982mixed with grandiosity of the late great Freddie Mercury of Queenand solo.  All movements and pieces of the songin it's recent state is performed entirely by me by memory from 2002, no paper :-) into April 2004with G Hohner Blues harmonica, electronic condensormicrophone, Sony Minidisk Recorder, Sound Blastersomething or another (a good one) and Sound Forgeby Sony.  Elvis Presley used to have the whole bandand he with one microphone dangling from the stand orceiling...    Enjoy! :-)  W.

Queen - Young Nobles Of Rock. Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan. May 1st 1975

Queen - Young Nobles Of Rock. Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan. May 1st 1975 -
stark remaster http://www.queenzone.com.

This performance is incredible. Queen play their guts out, and perform
nearly every song with unique embellishments. They are clearly appreciative
of the Japanese fans throughout the show. All this, as well as some rare
choices for songs, make this a very special final night of the Sheer Heart
Attack world tour. Many of the songs are long and full of energy, even more
so than usual. Brian plays a daringly long and creative guitar solo, and
they turn in a long version of Liar. But there really is no point of
highlighting individual things, as the entire concert is really a highlight
of their career at this point.

One notable thing about these early Japanese shows is that Freddie is just
learning how to communicate with larger audiences, but he's not having too
much success, since most the audience members don't speak English! It really
is amazing how bands like The Beatles, Deep Purple, Queen, and Cheap Trick
were so successful in a country where most of their fans couldn't understand
a word of their music - which goes to show how powerful music is and how it
can transcend cultural barriers.

The show was filmed, and three songs (Now I'm Here, Killer Queen, and Gods
Revisited) were later broadcast on TV, along with some press conference
footage and a few shots of the boys having a picnic with some Japanese
people. The concert footage was previously attributed to the April 19th
show, because there is footage of Roger at the picnic saying how they
enjoyed their first concert at the Budokan. But upon closer examination, it
was confirmed that these three songs are definitely from the May 1st show.
There is speculation as to whether or not the remaining footage of the show
still exists.

It is worth noting that since this is the final performance of the Sheer
Heart Attack tour, it is the last time In The Lap Of The Gods would be
performed.

Venue : Nippon Budokan, Tokyo, Japan
Date : 1. May 1975
Tracklist:

CD 1:
1. Procession
2. Now I'm Here
3. Ogre Battle
4. Great King Rat
5. White Queen (As It Began)
6. Flick Of The Wrist
7. Hangman
8. Doing Allright
9. In The Lap Of The Gods
10. Killer Queen
11. The March Of The Black Queen
12. Bring Back That Leroy Brown
13. Son And Daughter

CD 2:
1. Keep Yourself Alive
2. Seven Seas Of Rhye
3. Stone Cold Crazy
4. Liar
5. In The Lap Of The Gods ...revisited
6. Big Spender
7. Modern Times Rock'n'Roll
8. Rock'n'Roll Medley
9. See What A Fool I've Been
10. God Save The Queen

Information from "stark" (http://www.queenzone.com):

Lineage: Silvers> ? >FLAC level 8 > WAV > Har-Bal > Wavelab > WAV > FLAC
level 8

**As always, I have restored/remastered this FOR MY OWN USE. I hope the
community sees it as enough of an upgrade to want it, but if you don't like
it, please don't download it.

Firstly, this recording has been crushed by excessive compression (sometime
since the introduction of digital limiters, so an uncompressed master SHOULD
exist), and it's all but impossible to undo. However, by correcting the
equalisation I have minimised the effect and increased the peak-to-average
ratio (dynamic range) by about 4dB. As the original has a ratio of about 9dB
(!), this represents a significant difference. Please note that if you are
comparing this version with the original, it will sound quieter.

The bulk of the equalisation was done with Har-Bal. I then applied high- and
low-pass filters with a Waves Renaissance 2-band eq and brought it back up
to level (-0.2dB) with a Waves L3 limiter in Wavelab. I have re-tracked the
songs, corrected the balance between left and right channels and applied new
fades.

The rock n roll medley, as requested, has been combined into one track, as
has Son and Daughter.

Very few eq boosts were used (boosts, like mp3s, are bad), and...NO
DENOISERS!! **

The NetBud Band: "Something There"

"Something There"
October 2003

There's something I've been telling myself
There's been something sittin' on my shelf
There's been this story that I was told
Now there's this woman in my life she is so very bold
She's got a diamond stud nose and hair like a friend
She is my wife I know of whom I can depend on
Mmm yea
Mmm

Well there is this man up in the desert somewhere
I swear I seen 'em in my room with this cosmic stare
I was just a teenager as I laid in bed
And then I knew there was something moving in my head
So I know this life that I could leave with dread
Is something that's better off sang unsaid
Mmmm
Mmm
Mmm

So as I hear you talk everywhere I walk
And as the beat goes on to the tick of the clock
I understand this is not my only block
And everywhere I go I hear the seagulls flock
Up in the sky and on the ground and all over town
They tell the stories where they do not frown
I seen the crows fly by every single day
But it's almost winter time summers gone away
Uhuh

So as I wonder where I might be next
I know there's certainly something called a safe sure bet
That everywhere I turn there will be something learned
Something past present future and it's something I earn
So I know that somewhere deep inside
There is something called little 'bit 'o foolish pride
I cannot take my soul and let it hide
I know there's something there I can see inside
Uhuh

So everywhere I turn there's something learned
There's just one more thing in this book I read
And I know that this is history
From a 1000 years ago before B. C.
Unto this time in the year 2003
There is this man in the desert he's chasing me
We call him you know what his name is need I repeat it see
I'm thinking I've seen him very personally
And maybe you have too in the dreams you live
It's something that we better learn to forgive
That though the descendents of our time in time
There's something there that we might find
And if you look real hard then maybe we'll see
That inside us all there is victory
With a little battle from deep inside
I know you can fill yourself with un-foolish pride
Uhuh

Poetry In Motion "Act Of Mercy" (a. k. a.) "Unity"

"Act Of Mercy"
September 2003

In an act of mercy
From somebody in a bind
A morning dove landed waiting for me
Patiently and intently on the telephone line

With a gift, an order, a simple plea
Come here young man and talk with me
My eyes roam where danger may be found
My ears listen carefully for any sound
My heart it beats in accordance with you
In chaos and or calm I must remain true
In hopes that I can keep helping our skies be blue
In trust, that I remain faithful to you

Remember the times devoid of fights
Delights of innocent days and or nights
Inhibitions left behind while in bliss
For splendors of sharing nakedness
Nobody knew the meaning of lies
And nobody heard any painful cries
For nobody dared and nobody implied
To keep a soul from being alive
Believe me somebody has tried

My instincts told me where I was bound
For a destination with a stop or two
With and or without a clear image and sound
Keeping in time while the words I find
Come from a place that is truly divine
Still there is this hellish nature by design

I know there is much to keep in mind
I know you and I have to let it all go sometime
I am sure you and I will find in places discreet
Nary a moment left in the darkest of the deep
The truths of consciousness that we keep

The forgotten may be a contradiction
Perhaps the remembered will create friction
True reality derived from fact and or fiction
There’s much we experience and more we are missing

So please take my hand
Stranger and friend
There is a place for us to be in the end
Tell my lover it is she of whom I send
All my love and hopes and prayers whilst I make amends
For crimes past and present for a innocent future
So the next life has a place to live within again
Into the next moment and the moment thereafter
In hopes of peace, unity and laughter
