Titus Triple Bill: Slade, Grand Funk, The Runaways


Slade
Young Vic Theatre
London, England
April 24th 1975 (FLAC)

I remember buying Slade Alive when I was
just a kid and being amazed (and at first disappointed)
by how different they sounded compared to their
Top of the Pops persona. That string of hit singles forever
skewed the fact that they were actually a proper rock band.
I saw them at one of the early Donington festivals and
they brought the proverbial house down.
regards
Titus

Part 2

Grand Funk
The Forum, Los Angeles, CA
June 2nd 1974 (mp3 192)(sorry! - still sounds good)

Not a band I'm that keen on/knowledgable about.
I like the Good Singin'/Good Playin' album but must
confess it is the Zappa production & guest guitar solo
which first attracted me to it. I know they were
very popular in the USA during the seventies.
regards
Titus

2 Rock & Roll Soul

5 The Loco-motion
6 We're An American Band
7 T.N.U.C.
8 Inside Looking Out

The Runaways
The Agora, Cleveland, USA.
19th July 1976 (mp3 192 again)

As a fully paid up member of the Kim Fowley
fan club - the runaways are essential listening.
I view this recording as an important
historical document. I know I shouldn't
but I really dig the slightly dodgy drumming.
regards
Titus

Thank you for the lossless gigs you have posted here.The Slade boot is a real rocker in excellent SBD quality.Slade always sounded better live than on LP.At times one can really see where ACDC got their inspiration. Z

Thanks for these, of course it's the same show that I shared here but judging by the number of files the lossless version right?

wild I wuz at this runaways concert

Anonymous said...

i know i know slade and the runaways, but i can't picture a single one of the songs listed for either. :(

now, the grand funk is right up my alley. practically grew up as next door neighbors to them in michigan.

as popular as they were, i don't think they ever received the proper recognition they should have still.

as usual, awesome posts.

thank you
