Simply amazing concert, not bad quality for a bootleg, excellent set-list… Only the Japanese, for some reason on more or less slow songs, gave their translation titles… hmmm… But the shooting is simply wonderful! Like in the good old 70s…The only downside to this great video is some crackling in the right channel…

YES – Keystudio [The 1995-1996 Studio Sessions] , MP3+FLAC


As requested, here’s the somehow ‘lost’ YES studio album: “Keystudio“.
In 1995, guitarist Trevor Rabin and keyboardist Tony Kaye left the group which marked the return of former members Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman, thus reuniting them with vocalist Jon Anderson, bassist Chris Squire, and drummer Alan White, a line-up that had last performed in 1979.

The group relocated to San Luis Obispo, California to make a new album and to promote their reunion with three shows at the Fremont Theater, in March 1996. These shows were recorded and released on two live albums; ‘Keys to Ascension I’ (1996) and ‘Keys to Ascension II’ (1997).
But both releases also included the new studio material the band was working on

DARE FORCE – Firepower [20th Century Music remaster +4 bonus] (2023)


DARE FORCE is a cult hard rock / metal band that was initially formed in Minneapolis in the late 1970s. Dare Force released three albums in the 1980s, and performed in concert with numerous national acts such as KISS, Ted Nugent, Triumph, Kansas, UFO, Joe Perry Project, Ratt – just to name a few – as well as headlining in venues throughout the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, and South America. The band also had several songs that received heavy airplay on rock radio stations throughout the US in the ’80s.

Dare Force released its third CD, ”Firepower” with a reformed version of the band in 1989. It’s perhaps their most celebrated record, with a melodic hard rock radio friendly approach. Now it’s being reissued

Jukebox Heroes – Jukebox Heroes 2023 REAL Remastered 2 CD Edition Pride & Joy Music w/ 6 bonus tracks, MP3+FLAC


In 1989, a promoter located in Milwaukee, WI, reached out to five unconnected regional gunslinger musician/vocalists with the concept of creating an AOR-Rock band with a fresh sound. After meeting each other, JUKEBOX HEROES took the stage “literally” five weeks later to an oversold house at Starz on 100 in Milwaukee with a waiting line out the door.


The tour began, and soon JUKEBOX HEROES was in demand throughout the Midwestern US. The schedule had the group sharing the stage with the likes of 38 Special, Starship, Georgia Satellites, Styx, Kansas, REO, Survivor, ELO, and many more, some on multiple occasions. The group headlined a stage at Summerfest, the largest music festival in the US located in Milwaukee, on multiple o

GIRAFFE (Kevin Gilbert) – The Power Of Suggestion (Digitally Remastered)


The music world lost a major talent when Kevin Gilbert passed away accidentally by his own hand in 1996. Most people – if they’ve heard of him at all – know Kevin as part of the infamous Tuesday Night Music Club, the group that backed Sheryl Crow on her debut album.

But Gilbert was much more than just a side musician. He was able to play just about any instrument you’d put in front of him, and was an excellent songwriter as well. He was intelligent and articulate, as his lyrics showed
