John McLaughlin & The One Truth Band - Live in Sao Paulo, Brazil, September 1978 [UPGRADE][DVD]

John McLaughlin & The One Truth Band appearing at 'The Festival of Jazz' in Sao Paulo September 1978 this DVD is sourced from 2 seperate partial broadcasts the TV presenters talking has been removed the video is a mix of 20 mins A video and 10 mins B/B- video (the B quaily video is all of "Friendship" and one minute of both "Are You the one" and "Sanctuary") The TV station video editors chopped up the songs removing the applause the end part of "Meeting of the Spirits" was tagged onto the end "Are You the one" and was at the end of the video (this is why the end credits are there) but the song has been now moved back to the start.

This is a great OTB show and after 30 years this is all that has ever been shown so let us hope the complete concert will still surface one day!

Here's a mostly spanish web site about the festival with photos of the acts

Colosseum II (Feat. Gary Moore) - Live in Västerås, Sweden, 1975-09-27 [FLAC]

Pretty hard recording to come by and its never been torrented in the past.
This is is the first known live recording of Colloseeum II.

Colosseum II was a British band formed in 1975 by the former Colosseum drummer and leader, Jon Hiseman, following the 1974 demise of his band Tempest. Hiseman announced his plan to form the band eventually named Colosseum II in November 1974, but only Gary Moore was named. Rehearsals were due to begin on January 1, 1975, but a permanent unit was not finalised until May 1975. Among musicians who almost made the group were Graham Bell, Duncan Mackay and Mark Clarke. The line-up was completed by Don Airey, Neil Murray and Mike Starrs.

The band was oriented toward jazz fusion, much of which was based around the guitar work of Moore, leading to a much heavier sound than the original Colosseum band. After disappointing sales of the first album, Murray and Starrs were unceremoniously sacked by the band's record label (Bronze) in July 1976.
The band continued with a new record label and a new bass player (John Mole), and recorded two further largely instrumental (and still commercially unsuccessful) albums. They also performed on Variations with Andrew Lloyd Webber, which also featured Julian Lloyd Webber on cello, Rod Argent on keyboards and Hiseman's wife, Barbara Thompson, on flute and sax. This album reached number 2 on the UK charts.
In August 1978, Moore left to rejoin Thin Lizzy for a fourth spell, and Airey's brother Keith Airey replaced him on guitar. Plans for a fourth album fell through when Don Airey decided to join Rainbow in December 1978. ~From WikiPedia

Allan Holdsworth - Live at 9:30 Club, Georgetown, Washington D.C., April 20, 1986 [Early Show] [FLAC]

Another Gary Ficke recording, may he rest in peace.

Recorded in front of Gary and Allan standing right at the stage - thus the clarity of the drums, and the occasional distortion. This was an early rip of mine and if memory serves I used hiss reduction. Oops, sorry.
if I can get the tapes back I'd do it again without the treatment. Next time for sure. Meanwhile it's still a decent listen.
