At last I have put a blog together with the idea of sharing recordings and thoughts of what for me was the best period for music...THE 80'S.... I was fortunate enough to see many bands up and down the country during this period and thankfully I managed to record and trade many shows that i have now transferred. Feel free to correct me on any mistakes I may of made regards to venues song titles etc etc ...it was a long time ago... cheers ed....
These recordings...
All the recordings I post here will be what I think are VG+(B/B+) quality and unless stated otherwise will be audience recordings. They will not be to everyone's taste but the idea is to give fellow music fans a chance to hear rare recordings from a certain era(the 80's).Many of these I have had stored away for 30+ years and will be available for the first time...
If it's soundboard A+ quality you are after these will not be for you...BUT I would never post anything that was unlistenable.. So pop the headphones on and grab your air guitar of choice... lets ROCK

I managed to get this recording in a trade a few years later and here It is... enjoy ed
Fantastic once again Mr Ed! I was there too as it wasn't a long journey from where I was. I've never found a decent recording of the Motorhead show (probably because it blew everyone's equipment) but the Ozzy and Triumph stuff would be great to hear. Things keep turning up so maybe it's lurking around somebody's tape collection somewhere?
