I have been a devoted fan since Dai and Basher got together to form the ultimate Rock ‘n’ Roll band: ROCKPILE. There is plenty of footage and tape of ROCKPILE live appearances, but this show at Billy Graham’s Winterland is ROCKPILE at their best. I do not know which drug their drinks had been spiked with, but it had done its job. It is the last show of their tour with ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS and ROCKPILE are rocking like there is no tomorrow. KSAN radio has captured it brilliantly, the separation of the instruments is superb. The vocals are just right in place. None of the songs performed here have ever been performed with a sharper edge. This recording is among my TOP TEN LIVE RECORDINGS. Especially as the musicians are 100% up to scratch for the show. Whenever I listen to this, I get goose pimples all over me. The 1978 tour as support for Elvis Costello and the Attractions was longish with 40 shows in 37 venues in 35 cities. The tour started on April 19th and ended on June 7th.
After touring most of January, all of February, March and up to April 16th, and headlining the tour with Nick Lowe & Rockpile, Elvis Costello & the Attractions embarked on a European tour on June 16th, 1978, just a couple of days after their return from the USA. This tour lasted until July 16th. I saw them in Hamburg on June 28th. SUICIDE were the support act. Suicide barely appeared on stage, but put bricks on the organ instead for a constant screech, which was alright if you wanted Art Rock, but we felt they were taking the piss – after all we had travelled 450 kilometres for the show and we wanted to be taken seriously. Costello’s show was about 30 minutes long, something of a disappointment after travelling many miles and paying good ticket money. He wouldn’t talk to the audience. His arrogance really annoyed me and I have not gone to any Costello shows after that. Yes, I can be very unforgiving.
On that April to June US tour, Rockpile were billed as “NICK LOWE & Rockpile” to promote Nick’s US Columbia album “Pure Pop For Now People”. Also on the bill was Mink De Ville, who had an album out on US Capitol. Elvis Costello and the Attractions were headlining as they were making waves in the USA with their Columbia album “This Year’s Model”.
ROCKPILE were a unit of accomplished and experiences musicians who still had the urge to rock it out, not just to be Nick Lowe’s backing band. Terry Williams (drums), Billy Bremner (lead and rhythm guitars, lead and backing vocals), Dave “Dai” Edmunds (lead and rhythm guitars, lead and backing vocals) and Nick “Basher” Lowe (bass, lead and backing vocals) were one of the most competent Rock bands from the UK in those days. They sadly had just a brief career from 1976/7 to 1980, but shows like this – however short – have won them a place in my “Hall of Fame”. - hjk

01 Ron Sexsmith - The Last Rider [2017]
Ronald Eldon "Ron" Sexsmith (born 8 January 1964) is a Canadian singer-songwriter from St. Catharines, Ontario. He was the songwriter of the year at the 2002 Juno Awards. He began releasing recordings of his own melancholic pop material in 1985 at age 21, and has since recorded fifteen albums. He was the subject of a 2010 documentary called Love Shines (Wikipedia)
Co-producing with longtime collaborator and drummer Don Kerr, Canadian songman Ron Sexsmith turns in a richly detailed set on his 13th effort, The Last Rider. Sexsmith's distinctive brand of nuanced guitar pop has, on the surface, changed little over his quarter century of musical output, making each release feel almost like a new chapter in one ongoing narrative. Throughout the years, various producers have shaped and refined certain elements of his approach, but his overall consistency as a melodic tunesmith and everyman poet is remarkable, especially given how prolific he's remained. The amiable quality of his lyrics and his enduring melodicism are in full effect on The Last Rider, which is notable in the Sexsmith canon for being the first record to employ his long-tenured touring band, a whip-smart quartet of tone-savvy sidemen who for many years have faithfully adapted the minute details of his many releases for the stage. While standouts like "West Gwillimbury," "Dead End Dream," and "Radio" might well have reached their potential with veteran session players, the added familiarity and creative candor in his own band's performances give an added freshness to these recordings. A myriad of strings, muted brass sections, and synths tastefully decorate the landscape of interlocking guitar parts, exploring the gaps and corners yet always in service of the song. As a production team, Sexsmith and Kerr aren't necessarily prone to wild flights of fancy, yet it's apparent they're having fun and stretching out a bit in their explorations. Likewise, the bandmembers, after years of playing together, know exactly what to do with a Ron Sexsmith pop song, and they bring highlights like "Our Way" and "Evergreen" to life with arrangements that are cleverly layered without ever being fussy. The songs themselves fall easily into the wide lineage of Sexsmith's career, warmly exploring themes of love, hope, loneliness, and the passage of time in his patented tone that falls somewhere between empathetic and downtrodden. A lengthy 15-track release, The Last Rider wraps up with "Man at the Gate (1913)," a sepia-toned portrait plucked from a faded postcard that is one of his prettiest songs in years. (AllMusic Review by Timothy Monger)

02 Tom Jones - Live On Soundstage [2017]
Tom Jones is in terrific voice, which shines, especially on all the low key roots/blues/gospel album trilogy material. Elvis Presley Blues is quite extraordinary as he digs in deep for an emotionally charged vocal performance. The new arrangements of some of his old classics are excellent and anyone who has not heard it before we will be quite surprised by the new version of the Bond theme 'Thunderball'. His interaction with the audience is relaxed and natural and it's plain that he is having a great time performing. The only downside for me was that the Alison Krauss guest spots broke the flow a bit. All in all, I am amazed that a veteran performer can sound so vital and remarkable.

Albums I Like ... Part 09 Continued
03 Lauryn Hill - MTV Unplugged 2.0 [2002]
MTV Unplugged No. 2.0 is a live album by American recording artist Lauryn Hill. The performance comes from her 2002 MTV Unplugged special recorded on July 21, 2001 at MTV Studios in Times Square, New York City. Hill abandoned the hip hop sounds of her debut album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (1998) in favor of folk and soul songs she performed with an acoustic guitar. The songs were interspersed with spoken interludes about her personal and artistic struggles. (Wikipedia)
Lauryn Hill's debut album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, became a critical and commercial blockbuster, which the artist herself, always distrustful of the music business, seems to have found a disorienting experience. She has therefore waited nearly four years to make another album, and the album she has made deliberately flies in the face of the previous one and its reception. Resurrecting the MTV Unplugged program, she has gone before an audience with an acoustic guitar in her hands to sing a new group of songs. But that unadorned approach is only the beginning. Everything about the performance is unpolished. One suspects that she would resist even calling it a performance; "I used to be a performer," she notes at the outset. What she is after, in her life and her music, she explains, is "reality," which means everything from being willing to sing the entire set with a raspy voice because that's the state her voice is in on that day to stopping and starting, going up on the lyrics, and even breaking down in tears. The style naturally places an emphasis on the words to the songs, which reinforce Hill's unvarnished approach, attacking the music business and anyone who wants her to be what's she's not, and witheringly criticizing institutions such as the judicial system ("Mystery of Iniquity"). The songs themselves would not require two discs to contain, but they are alternated by lengthy remarks, one spoken interlude running more than 12 minutes, in which Hill elaborates on the importance of being honest and confronting falsehood. She's usually full of herself, and she's often full of it. But that's okay. The point is the unfinished, unflinching presentation of ideas and of a person. It may not be a proper follow-up to her first album, but it is fascinating.

Does anyone have the 4 volumes called Rockabilly Stars that I believe came out on Sony in the mid 90's? Side 1 and 2 were songs from an earlier time and sides 3 and 4 were more current rockabilly recordings. I remember rally enjoying but haven't thought about them in years until a few days ago. I don't even know if they came out on CD. I had several on vinyl.
butterboy, thanks for the tome jones and lauryn hill. i just heard today that jones had to cancel his tour due to health concerns. i saw the soundstage performance, and his voice was strong and he seemed well. a fantastic performance.
speaking of fantastic performances, lauryn hill's performance on austin city limits was phenomenal. her stamina and energy is remarkable and quite a contrast from her unplugged performance.
