Are you ready for a guitar fest?
More than 2 and a half hours of the finest Rory live at the Cowtown Ballroom in Kansas City.
The sound is very good considering this was recorded about 34 years ago! Still some distortion and some minor cuts here and there but nothing too serious :)

Nice post. Rory is so much better live than in the studio. I was wondering which sites you are a member of? Always looking for new sources! Oh & have you seen the recently unearthed French BOC footage? It's just a short edited snippet from a 1975 show.

D*mn I'm looking forward to hear this show...MUST be brilliant, I'm sure it is! Thx a lot for posting it AtticRock!
What toxxy said. I've heard many Rory boots, but never this one and I can hardly wait.
I was fortunate enough to see Rory live a few times and I can vouch for the fact that he always put on a hell of an exciting show that was based entirely on craftsmanship and excellent musicianship, a beat-up strat, blue jeans and a chequered shirt and a total lack of pretentiousness - as opposed to the arrogance, smoke, mirrors, lasers, volume and tons bullshit special fx that so many pretenders out there depend upon. He was one of the truly great ones.
Cheers AtticRock!

Thanks for all your comments, this show is a real treat, no one will be disappointed except maybe for the sound.
This and most of the music that I put here is found in places like Dime, TTD, Zomb, Tapecity, etc. btw didn't catch that BOC footage in any of this places Titus.
All the same places as me then.
The BOC clip is on Dime.
1. The audio is poor
2. The picture is poor
3. Betcha don't delete it!
It's just two fragments of 'Stairway to the Stars' & 'Born to be Wild'
I hear the French TV company have more of the concert in the vaults & may get around to digitalizing it eventually. Here's hoping.
Also if you haven't seen it - the 'Mountainside' DVD is great. That's on Dime too.
I'm quite new to Dime & so I am going mad on there at the moment.
Happy bloggin'
Titus
I visit dime everyday, I don't know how i missed it... on the other hand the place has so many things it's hard not to miss something...
I also get stuff at DC hubs but I won't share their addresses here, if you want send me an email.
I'm aware of DC hub but have always been put off by the rules. I hear you have to have 10GB of stuff constantly available or something like that - I can't remember now. When I was invited to join I asked if I had to wear a tie! My humour was not well received. I'll leave that one for now. Just got some nice footage of The Tubes from Dime. Do you like them? BTW how about Demonoid? Not strictly a bootleg site but still has lots of good/rare stuff.

Rory in the studio was awesome, especially in the TASTE days.
His first two solo albums, Tattoo, Against the Grain, and Calling Card are also excellent examples of Rory's use of the sonority of the studio and being able to interact well with his band.
Let's just say live he was a different animal - almost always putting on a very energetic and entertaining show. It showed a different side of him, but that doesn't mean it was 'better' than the studio sides.
One example of a song that was never caught on tape live as well as the studio version is "Sugar Mama." That was one of his supreme moments of artistry.
Hello 'cRock
Hey scion,
I'm not putting down Rory's studio work. But as a casual fan I once asked around a few Rory buffs which were his best albums. 'The Irish Tour' came top for most people. I merely meant that if you are going to have one album by him, a live one would probably be best. Perhaps I overstated this in my earlier comment - 'twas, in retrospect, badly worded.

Back to work...
Here's some vintage Quo.
A radio broadcast from Sweden in 1971.
Not a full show but excellent anyway.
Far superior to that rubbish they did later.(Jeez, I'm not going to picked up on that by 'In the Army Now' fans am I?)
I was thinking of calling it
'Not in the Army Yet'
But settled on
'Dog of Three Head' 'cos I thought
that title had more bite.(ouch)
Keep on rockin'

Junior's Wailing

Hi mate,
Just a suggestion for improving a little bit your blog. Could you pelase indicate clearly in the title of your post the format of your materials (mp3, FLAC, shn) etc. This is really an important information. Thanks for your efforts.

When you click on the links the size of the file should indicate if it is mp3 or not. I am assuming you don't want mp3s. FLAC,SHN & wav are all as good as each other.
I usually indicate the format but AtticRock is not as nice as me.(only joking AR)
Titus
Hi Titus, I don't know much of The Tubes except for the live What Do You Want From which s great. I'm aware of demonoid but don't use it, there's another one called demons eye, more specialized in Hard/Heavy.
Rory live for me is 10x better than in the studio and I have about 7/8 of his studio albums (plus the live ones of course). And what I dislike the most is the sound of the studio records not the playing (always brilliant). Ok I forgot, I like the sound of On The Boards from Taste :)
great concert
the exact date is 74-03-24 (not august)
excellent review on shadowplays.com

Hello !
Can I hope you'll re-up this fantastic show ?
All links are down ... :-(
Many thanks for the very good music you share with the world :-)
Up!
Hi AtticRock !
Many thanks for re-upping this jewel so fast.
I think my friendly blogger "JP" will enjoy it in the next days.
Have a nice week-end ;-)
It's saying that Parts 2 & 3 are now deleted. Peter (Sydney).

Hi Peter, they are up again.
Quite strangely, 6 years after your post, I'm rediscovering this absolutely marvelous concert on my hard disk. Deserves really to be on cds next to the official concerts. A really really great concert.
Thanks for sharing,

Hello my friend,
At one time I had this show, but a couple moves (and several new computers/hard drives) later and I seem to have lost it. A shame, because it's dang - DANG - fantastic. Would you be able to reupload it? (MP3 please, ideally, so I can take it with me while driving/in the gym/wherever)
A thousand thanks, and the tips of a thousand caps to you and all you do.
Hey Dan, there ou have it!
