Rossington Collins Band - A Night On The Road

The Rossington-Collins Band was founded in 1979 by ex-Lynyrd Skynyrd members, released two albums and dissolved in 1982. They were a strong live act with the curiosity of having a female singer, Dale Krantz, who had been doing backing vocals for 38 Special.
This is a Pre-FM radio show with short interview clips and the live parts were recorded at the Garden State Art Center in Holmdel, NJ, sometime around 1981. Their performance of Free Bird was always instrumental in memory of Ronnie Van Zant.

Janis Joplin - Fillmore East 1969

It was 40 years ago... Janis had left the Big Brother and the Holding Company the year before and began playing with the Kozmic Blues Band.
This show was the second of two nights in February 1969 at the Fillmore East in New York, according to the reviews (and our ears) Janis's performance in this legendary venue was a blast, as in so many shows she did.
