SKAGARACK - Double Crossed - live
- Reading Festival UK - 23-8-1986
Last month's live track caused a bit of a fuss amongst old Skagarack fans so here's
another from the UK radio-cast. Unfortunately my old tape isnt the best quality dub with a fair
bit of hiss. |

LIVING LOUD - Tonight - live - 25-4-2004 - Metro Melbourne Australia
Audience Recording of the Month. And Loud they were! Jimmy Barnes, Bob Daisley, Lee Kerslake, Steve Morse & Don Airey.
Quite a line up. Very shoddy boot recording from the band's first ever show but should still inspire many
of you to buy the album which is out now. I also hear a live dvd of their 2nd show in Sydney is in the works.

WHITE SISTER - Interview - R.City UK - February 1987
Something different this time featuring some talk with classic wimp gods White Sister while
they were in the UK supporting FM. Again the recording hasn't really stood the test of time on
a crap tape dub but worth a listen none the less. |
