Mar Y Sol Pop Festival, Manati, Puerto Rico, 4-3-1972, Part 1: Cactus, Faces & More

Here is the first part of the third, and last, day of the 1972 Mar Y Sol Pop Festival. Unfortunately, for this last day of the festival, I wasn't able to find as much music as I found for the first two days. So I just have portions of sets. This has music from Cactus, the Faces, the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Potliquor.

The four Cactus songs all come from official sources. The first three are from a live album called "'Ot 'n' Sweaty," released in 1972. The fourth song, "Bedroom Marurka," is from the official live album of the festival, "Mar y Sol: The First International Puerto Rico Pop Festival."

Cactus broke up a couple of months after this festival. Two band members, bassist Tim Bogert and drummer Carmine Appice, joined with Jeff Beck to form the band Beck, Bogert and Appice, releasing an album later in 1972. Here's the Wikipedia entry about Cactus:

Cactus (American band) - Wikipedia 

The Faces, starring Rod Stewart, were one of the main headliners of the festival. However, they didn't perform last on the last day, as one might expect of a headliner. Apparently, the organizers realized that the audience size steadily declined towards the ends of festivals like this, so it was better to have the headliners on earlier. (Interesting fact: when Jimi Hendrix performed at the Woodstock Festival in 1969, most of the audience had left already. Only about 30,000 to 100,000 of the peak 600,000 people remained.) Unfortunately, we only have three songs from the Faces. All three of those are unreleased.

There's just one song here from the Mahavishnu Orchestra, the jazz fusion band led by guitarist John McLaughlin, "Noonward Race." But it's an impressive 13-minute-long instrumental. It comes from the official live album of the festival. Here the Wikipedia entry about this band:

Mahavishnu Orchestra - Wikipedia

Finally, that leaves the final song, from a band called Potliquor. This band played Southern rock with a Louisiana influence, since they were from Louisiana. They were together from 1969 to 1973 (plus a reunion in the late 1970s), and put out three albums in those years. Unfortunately, they were signed to a small record label and didn't get much promotion or distribution help. They were building some momentum, but that ended when the band broke up after only a few years. Their one song here is unreleased.

Here's their Wikipedia entry:

The Faces with Keith Richards - The Midnight Special, Kilburn State Gaumont Theatre, London, Britain, 12-23-1974

Here's one of the top vote getters from my recent poll about the "Midnight Special" TV show. The Faces were number two in that poll. The Faces only appeared in one episode of the show, which was broadcast on April 25, 1975. But it was a special show in three respects. For one, the entire show was dedicated to just them, which was very unusual for that show. Two, it took place at a different location, even a different country, months earlier. And three, they were joined by Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, who played lead guitar on three songs.

The involvement of Richards in this concert is pretty interesting if one considers how it fit in to the break up of the band. By the time of this concert at the end of 1974, the Faces were well on their way to breaking up. The main problem was lead singer Rod Stewart. He'd become a superstar as a solo act, so it was easier for him to pursue that, where he could call all the shots, instead of remaining in the Faces. The last album the Faces put out was in 1973. They would only manage to tour and release a couple of singles after that. As a sign of Stewart's growing popularity, by the time of this concert, they were getting billed as "Rod Stewart and the Faces."

Meanwhile, Mick Taylor left the Rolling Stones in 1974, meaning that more successful band needed a new lead guitarist. By early 1975, the top choice was Ronnie Wood of the Faces. He actually started touring with the Stones beginning in June 1975, although he wasn't an official member of that band yet. It seems Wood tried to juggle being a member of both the Faces and the Stones for a while, because when the Stones tour ended in early August, he joined a Faces tour starting in late August. But problems between members of the Faces grew and grew, until they announced their break-up at the end of 1975. Wood officially joined the Stones in early 1976.

Given that context, the appearance of Richards here wasn't just random. One could see this as part of a process of Wood moving from the Faces to the Stones. Perhaps it was part of Richards trying to woo Woods into the Stones, and/or see how well he and Woods clicked while performing in concert.

There's one bonus track. In the middle of the episode, there was seven-minute long interview of the band's lead singer Rod Stewart by the show host Wolfman Jack. Clearly, it was recorded at a different time and place than the concert, so it didn't fit. But I figure some people might be interested, so I stuck it in as a bonus track. 

Normally, the sound quality on all these Midnight Special shows has been excellent. But for this one, I noticed the lead vocals were low in the mix. So I boosted them up for all the songs. I also did the usual trick of getting rid of commercial breaks by editing out little bits (especially host Wolfman Jack announcing the breaks) and using more applause to get of the cuts between songs. 

Mere minutes after posting this, a commenter corrected me on the date and location, and also told me there was an extra song not broadcast on Midnight Special, namely, "I'd Rather Go Blind." So I found a different version of this concert that included that song, and added it in. I also added in some banter between songs by Stewart that was edited out by the TV show. Otherwise, the two versions are basically the same. It seems this concert later got released as a movie called "Rod Stewart and the Faces - The Final Concert." It has since come out on DVD, but not in an audio format. 

You can watch this concert/ episode on YouTube. Although Richards doesn't sing (except some very brief backing vocals), his lead guitar work with Woods is excellent. 

This album is an hour and three minutes long, not including the bonus track.

Various Artists - The Carlsberg Concert - Songs and Visions, Wembley Stadium, London, Britain, 8-16-1997

This is a really fascinating concert, with a format I've never seen before. I highly recommend it. Basically, the idea was to get ten famous musicians to perform one classic song a year, in reverse order, going back to the start of rock and roll in 1955. The stars: Toni Braxton, Seal, Robert Palmer, Jon Bon Jovi, Steve Winwood, k.d. lang, Chaka Khan, Mary J. Blige, Rod Stewart, and Eikichi Yazawa.

Occasionally, the "one song per year" format that meant having the star sing their own hits. For instance, Rod Stewart sang "Maggie May," Robert Palmer sang "Addicted to Love," and k.d. lang sang "Constant Craving." But more often, they sang songs they probably have never sang in public before or since. For example, Seal sang "Stairway to Heaven," Rod Stewart sang "In the Midnight Hour," Bon Jon Bovi sang "Sympathy for the Devil," and k.d. lang sang "I Will Survive!" 

Even more intriguingly, the stars sometimes sang unexpected duets. For instance, Seal and Steve Winwood teamed up to sing U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," and Chaka Khan & Robert Palmer sang a duet version of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." The backing band was the same for all the songs, so there was no time wasted between songs. Stewart was the emcee, making very brief comments between all the songs. If you watch a video of this concert on YouTube, you'll see that each time he introduced a song, iconic images from the year the song was a hit were shown on a huge screen behind the stage.

For better or worse, the "one song per year" rule was only loosely enforced. Sometimes, they played two songs for one year, and more often years went by with no songs at all. They sometimes fudged the years songs came out. For instance, Rod Stewart in his banter implied that "Stairway to Heaven" was released in 1973, when it came out in 1971. The first and last songs were also wildly out of order. And the rule was only even loosely enforced until 1963. At that point, the concert turned into an Elvis Presley tribute, with seven Presley hits in a row. But those are just quibbles. The bottom line is that these big stars sang nothing but classic songs for the whole concert.

In terms of the stars, the one I had never heard of, and chances are you have never heard of, is Eikichi Yazawa. He is very little known in most Western countries, but he's a big star in Japan, filling stadiums there. He has the nicknames "The Boss" and "The King of Rock" there as well. The reason he isn't better known elsewhere is that his hits songs are sung in Japanese. He only did one song in this concert on his own, "Don't Be Cruel." I watched the YouTube video of it. He danced and held the stage with lots of charisma, but unfortunately one can hear a clear Japanese accent on his singing. Still, kudos for the concert organizers in giving him this big platform.

By the way, it may seem odd at first that one of the songs chosen was "Some Guys Have All the Luck," because it wasn't as big of a hit as the other songs here. But that's Robert Palmer had a hit with it in 1982, and then Rod Stewart had a pretty differently arranged hit with it in 1984. So it made perfect sense for the two of them to sing a duet version of it here. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the only time they sang the song together.

I found two main sources for this concert. One was a high quality video file, and the other was a video downloaded from YouTube. It's a good thing I found two, because each of them had songs the other one didn't. Furthermore, "Don't Be Cruel" sung by Yazawa wasn't included on either one. But I managed to find a YouTube video of it, as mentioned above, and I included it in the proper order (since the video kept going with the next song). 

This is called "The Carlsberg Concert" because it was sponsored by the Carlsberg Beer Company. (You can see the company logo in the background in the cover image). It was conceived and directed by someone named Tony Hollingsworth. I had never heard of him before, but it turns out he came up with some really unusual and intriguing concerts. For instance, at the same time I found this one, I found another one where he paired big name American and British music stars like Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and Jon Bon Jovi with Japanese musicians. I plan on posting that one as well, eventually. Here's his bio page. 

Tony Hollingsworth 

It seems this "one song per year" format has never been repeated in a big concert like this in the many years since. That's too bad. I had never heard about this concert until I randomly stumbled across it the other day. If you know of other "various artists" concerts that you think I should post at my blog, please let me know. It seems there are many of these, like this one, that once appeared on TV and have only existed in video format, so they've gone way under the radar when it comes to being audio bootlegs. 

The music is unreleased, and the sound quality is excellent. I did make a few fixes, such as brief volume drops, but nothing major. Oh, but one consistent problem was that all the lead vocals were low in the mix. So I boosted that for all the songs using the UVR5 audio editing program.

This album is two hours and 37 minutes long.

Rod Stewart - BBC Sessions, Volume 7: In Concert, Glastonbury Festival, Worthy Farm, Pilton, Britain, 6-29-2025

It can't be denied that Rod Stewart is an old man. At the time I'm writing this, over a month after the 2025 Glastonbury Festival, Stewart is 80 years old. And yet he was one of the big names of the festival because he keeps entertaining crowds like someone much younger. I was rather wary about hearing this concert, but it turns out he sounds just like he did decades ago. 

In terms of the set list, there are no big surprises here. It consists mostly of his big hits from the 1970s and 80s. He did three unexpected covers of classic songs, though: "Love Train," "Lady Marmalade" and "If You Don't Know Me by Now." The second one was done by his backing singers while he took a "tea break," and the last one was a duet with Mick Hucknall, lead singer of Simply Red.

Speaking of guests, near the end of the concert, he was joined on stage for two songs by Ronnie Wood, currently a member of the Rolling Stones but also a former band mate of Stewart's in the Faces. And for one song, both of them were joined by 1960s female singer Lulu. 

This album is an hour and 29 minutes long.

Rod Stewart - BBC Sessions, Volume 6: In Concert, Festival in a Day, Hyde Park, London, Britain, 9-13-2015

Here's the sixth BBC album I'm posting of Rod Stewart performing for the BBC. It's probably the last, unless something I missed pops up. This time, it's a concert from 2015.

I have to be honest. I planned on posting this only due to wanting to be complete in posting the main BBC concerts I'd but I was pleasantly surprised, because it wasn't what I was expecting. For some reason, Stewart decided to avoid performing all of his biggest hits from his career. There's no "Maggie May" here, no "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy," no "You're in My Heart," no "The First Cut Is the Deepest," no "Tonight's the Night," and so on. In fact, the website setlist.fm lists the number of times he's played over the entire duration of his solo career. NONE of the top twenty most performed songs in his career were performed in this concert!

Instead, he chose to play hits, but lesser hits that he generally hadn't performed in concert in many years, sometimes decades. So this is an ideal complement to some of the other BBC concerts I've posted from him, with very little overlap. I think that was a great idea. It's too bad more musical acts don't do it. But then again, not many have so many hits that they could play so many songs familiar to the audience while avoiding the best known ones.

There were some interesting choices here. For instance, "In a Broken Dream" was a song by the band Python Lee Jackson, with Stewart singing lead vocals on it. It was released in 1970, and was a Number Three hit in Britain. It still gets played on the radio. However, according to setlist.fm, Stewart only ever performed it in concert three times, and this concert was one of those times. 

Jim Cregan was a special guest on the last song. Cregan was a guitarist and songwriter in many bands. He was a member of Stewart's band for most of the 1980s and 1990s, and co-wrote about 30 songs with him, including some hits.

This album is an hour and 19 minutes long.

Rod Stewart - BBC Sessions, Volume 5: In Concert, BBC Radio Theatre, London, Britain, 5-16-2013

Here's another BBC album by Rod Stewart. This time, it's a concert from 2013.

The last BBC album I'd posted by Stewart is from 2004. Since that time until 2013, he'd put out more covers albums, especially those of the Great American Songbook. But in 2013, he finally released a studio album in which he wrote or cowrote nearly all of the songs, called "Time." It was the first such album in about 20 years. He said that he'd lost the creative inspiration to write songs for many years, but found it again while he was writing his autobiography. The album did surprisingly well in Britain, especially considering it didn't contain any big hit singles. In fact, it was the seventh best selling album in Britain that year.

As you'd expect, this album consists of songs from that album, plus his greatest hits. There's no sign of the Great American Songbook songs he'd recorded five albums of during the previous decade.

This album is unreleased. But the sound quality is excellent, as you'd expect from the BBC. 

This album is an hour and 22 minutes long.

Rod Stewart - BBC Sessions, Volume 4: In Concert, Abbey Road Studios, London, Britain, 10-8-2004

Here's another BBC album performed by Rod Stewart. Like the previous three, it's a BBC concert.

The last Stewart BBC concert I posted was from 1986. There's a big jump of nearly 20 years to this concert in 2004. In the meantime, his career had been slowing down until 2002. That year, he released the album "It Had to Be You: The Great American Songbook." Consisting entirely of covers of songs from the pre-rock and roll era, it was a big hit, going multi-platinum. Furthermore, he realize it was an easily repeatable formula. By the time of this concert just two years later, he'd released two more albums along the same lines, with those big hits as well. His next four albums would be thematic cover albums as well.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of these "Great American Songbook" cover albums. Others, such as Linda Ronstadt or Sinead O'Connor, have done the same idea better. So I was worried this concert would be dominated by those covers, since he'd just released three albums like that. However, it turns out this is pretty much just a typical Rod Stewart concert, consisting of hits from earlier in his career. There's only a four song stretch near the end of the concert (tracks 15 to 19) that has songs from his most recent "Great American Songbook" album, which was "Stardust: The Great American Songbook, Volume III," released the same month this concert took place. Additionally, Robert Palmer had recently died at the time of this concert, so Stewart played one of Palmer's biggest hits, "Addicted to Love," as a tribute to him.

This album is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent.

This album is 57 minutes long.

Rod Stewart - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: In Concert, Wembley Stadium, London, Britain, 7-6-1986

Here's another BBC concert by Rod Stewart. This one is from 1986.

Personally, I think Stewart was at his creative best in the 1960s and 1970s. But it can't be denied that he kept going strong all through the 1980s, racking up hit after hit. He would eventually sell over 120 million records worldwide. So this is another unreleased BBC concert. In 1986, he released the studio album "Every Beat of My Heart." It wasn't a particularly big seller, but it contained a couple of hits, like just about all his 1980s albums.

I have one very, very big disappointment about this album though: it appears to be the full concert, but the encore wasn't included. Normally, that wouldn't have mattered much, except it so happens this encore was the one time all the members of Faces reunited on stage! The Faces were Stewart's main band in the first half of the 1970s, but they broke up for good in 1975. The encore to this show was really the only time all the members of the Faces reunited. This was mainly due to the increasing health problems of band member Ronnie Lane. Already by this time, his multiple sclerosis condition was so poor that he had to be in a wheelchair for the encore here. Although Lane sang, he could no longer play bass guitar, so Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones played bass for him.

It is known the Faces performed four songs for the encore: "(I Know) I'm Losing You," "Twistin' the Night Away," "Stay with Me," and "We'll Meet Again." I'm guessing the BBC didn't broadcast this due to some legal issue. Perhaps one or more of the other Faces were signed to a different record company, and wouldn't give permission? Anyway, I can't even find an audience bootleg of the encore. If anyone has something like that, please let me know so I can add it in. 

The Faces, minus Lane, reunited again to play a few songs for the Brit Awards in 1993. After that, there were some partial reunions, including a tour in 2010 and 2011 that didn't include Stewart. Keyboardist Ian McLagan died in 2014, so occasional reunions since then have been that much more incomplete.

The lead vocals were rather low in the mix for this concert, so I fixed that for all the songs using the UVR5 audio editing program.

This album is an hour and 30 minutes long.

Various Artists - FireAid, Intuit Dome, Inglewood, CA, and Kia Forum, Inglewood, CA, 1-30-2025

Here's something surprisingly timely from me. I mostly post music from decades ago, but as I write this in early 2025, this concert took place only three days ago! It's a big concert - five hours long - with lots of big name artists.

I like posting big rock festivals and benefit concerts, because I've noticed they tend to get overlooked. But I tend not to post many from the 2000s because I don't like many of the musical acts on the bills. However, I looked at the list of performers here and I liked most of them, and could at least tolerate the rest. If you frequently come to this blog, your musical tastes are probably pretty similar to mine. You might want to give this a listen even if you don't like some of the acts. I think it's better than the vast majority of these kinds of concerts.

The concert was a surprisingly fast response to a series of fires that burned parts of the Los Angeles region earlier that same month. Millions were raised that would go to a charity to help the victims of the fires. There are lots of natural disasters that don't result in big benefit concerts. But this disaster hit very close to home for many famous musicians and or the people they know. For instance, Billy Crystal, one of the presenters here, lost his house to one of the fires, and Stevie Nicks came very close to losing hers. So it's not surprising that so many artists wanted to take part in a benefit concert.

Before I say anything else, note that the crisis caused by the fires is very much still ongoing, and donations are still being accepted. If you want to donate, here's the link:

Homepage - FireAid

I'm posting this because the entire concert has been put out there for free all over the place, including on literally at least ten TV streaming services, Tik Tok, YouTube, and more. So I'm just helping to spread it. If you want to watch it instead of just listen, YouTube is an easy way to find it. (That said, I wouldn't at all be surprised if this gets taken down due to some copyright issue or another, so grab it fast!)

The Wall Street Journal put out an interesting article before the concert took place that explained how it came to be. It's a worthwhile read:

Archive Buttons | Free Paywall Remover

I'll spare the details, since you can read about everything there. But I want to note that famous musical acts were falling over each other to take part, so many were turned down. The ones that were included generally were ones who lived in Los Angeles or otherwise had close ties to the area. 

Also note that the concert was rather strange in that it actually two place in two different venues on the same night. This is similar to what happened with Live Aid in 1985, except that consisted of concerts in North America and Europe, whereas this was two concerts both in the two of Inglewood. The thinking was that one of the concerts was mainly for pop music and the other for rock music. While there was down time between acts in one concert, they would show a set from the other concert, keeping both audiences entertained almost all the time. I thought about splitting this into two album, one for each venue. But I ultimately decided on making one big one, with all the songs in the order they occurred.

Now, let's get to the music. I found high quality videos of each set at a bootleg sharing site, then I converted them to audio and broke them into mp3s. The videos were already almost entirely free of the frequent begging for money typical of these types of concerts. I kept nearly everything. However, there were some sequences highlighting the fires and the resulting homelessness that I cut out, mostly because those were videos meant to be seen, not just heard. But I did keep speeches by Billy Crystal and Jimmy Kimmel talking about the fires.

As I mentioned above, I liked most of the musical acts. The vast majority of them have been featured in albums I've posted at this blog already. The ones who haven't are: Anderson Paak, Dawes, Gracie Abrams, Tate McRae, Jelly Roll, Nirvana, Katy Perry, Olivia Rodrigo, Peso Pluma, Billie Eilish, and Lady Gaga. Some of those were merely okay, but a lot of them only played a song or two, and often did a cover of a famous song, so it didn't matter much. There was only one musical act I couldn't stand, and that was Lil Baby. Gawwwd, the Autotune on that is sooo awful! So that was the only act I didn't include.

I mentioned Nirvana above. It's hard to imagine Nirvana without Kurt Cobain, who died long ago. The set here featured the three surviving members, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear. To fill Cobain's shoes as lead vocalist, different female singers sang each of the four songs performed: St. Vincent, Kim Gordon, Joan Jett, and Violet Grohl (the last being the daughter of Dave Grohl). 

Generally speaking, the sound quality was excellent. But I noticed the lead vocals seems quite low during the Nirvana set, as well as the subsequent Red Hot Chili Peppers set. An analysis of those songs in an audio editing program confirmed that. So I boosted the vocals relative to the instruments for just those two sets, using the UVR5 audio editing program.

One other problem was that there often were abrupt sonic transitions between each set. So I would carefully look at the last song of one set and the first song of the next one. If it didn't sound smooth, I made some edits until it did. Typically, I'd merge audience applause together so it just sounds like lots of cheering until the next act got started.

This album is five hours long exactly. The actual concert was more like six hours long, but there was some dead air between sets, plus the video presentations about the fires that I cut out, as well as the Lil Baby set I couldn't stand.

I had hundreds of photos to choose from for the cover art. Unfortunately, there was no big encore with lots of famous people on stage together. So I decided to go with a photo of the stage and a bit of the audience, with John Mayer playing guitar and looking quite small on the huge stage. Then I added a huge version of the FireAid logo to the top half of the image.

Rod Stewart - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: In Concert, Wembley Arena, London, Britain, 12-6-1980

I've already posted a bunch of Rod Stewart performing for the BBC. There's an album of him with the mid-1960s band Steampacket, two more as part of the Jeff Beck Group in the late 1960s, seven more as part of the Faces in the early 1970s, and then one solo concert from 1976. Four years later, in 1980, he was a bigger star than ever, thanks to more hit singles, especially "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy," which was the fourth best selling single in the U.S. in 1979.

I was a kid at the time, and I remember there was a bit of a Rod Stewart backlash back then, just as there was a Bee Gees backlash. Many people were annoyed that he'd "gone disco," again especially with the unabashedly disco "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy." But you wouldn't really know that from this concert. Yes, he played that song, but very little was disco-y at all. Perhaps the disco craze had ended by late 1980, so Stewart tacked back to basic rock and roll for the most part.

The sound quality is as good as you'd expect from a BBC recording of that era. However, I noticed one problem, which was that usually there was almost no time whatsoever between songs. Often there was just a second or two of cheering before the next song would start. Sometimes, performers do that on purpose, but this didn't sound natural, because often there would be an abrupt switch from loud cheering to a quieter level. So, where I felt appropriate, I added more cheering.

"Get Back," a cover of the Beatles classic, has "[Edit]" in the title. That's because there was a couple seconds of silence in the middle of the song. Luckily, it was in a spot that got repeated elsewhere, so I was able to patch that up with a bit of a different part of the song.

This album is an hour and 27 minutes long.

The cover photo isn't from this exact concert, but it's close. He did a series of shows at the Wembley Arena in December 1980, and the photo is from the December 3, 1980 concert there. I found a bunch of photos from that one, actually. I chose this one because I thought the audience interaction was nice and a bit unusual.

Rod Stewart - VH-1 Storytellers, Supper Club, New York City, 4-28-1998

Next for the "VH-1 Storytellers" series is an episode featuring Rod Stewart.

This episode took place just one day prior to the release of Stewart's 19th studio album, "When We Were the New Boys." In my opinion, the show was lucky to have him when he did, because he was ending a phase of releasing typical rock albums. Starting in 2002, he would spend about a decade recording albums that mostly consisted of "Great American Songbook" songs. Those sold very well, but are easily skipped over, so I'm glad this predates that.

The "When We Were the New Boys" album was a bit unusual for Stewart because it consisted mostly of cover versions of contemporary music acts like Oasis, Primal Scream, and Ron Sexsmith. He sang three songs from that album: "Cigarettes and Alcohol," "Rocks," and "Ooh La La." That last one actually was done by his early 1970s band the Faces, but it had been co-written by band member Ronnie Lane (along with Ronnie Wood). Stewart did it on the album as a tribute to Lane, who died the year before.

I had to do the usual things I did with most of these Storytellers episodes. Namely, fixing the applause at the ends, which often got cut short. I also boosted the lead vocals relative to the instruments using UVR5. At least this episode didn't have part of the first song cut off, as was often the case for this show.

This album is 45 minutes long.

The cover image is a screenshot I took of a video of this exact concert. However, it was low-res and blurry, so I sharpened it up using the Krea AI program.

Various Artists - Prince's Trust Rock Gala, Wembley Arena, London, Britain, 6-20-1986

Hmmm. I could have sworn I'd posted this months ago. I'd posted the 1982 Prince's Trust concert a while back. I was getting to post the next one in the series, from 1987, when I did a search and noticed this one wasn't here. So now you'll get two in a row, as I'll be posting the 1987 one today as well. 

Prince Charles, the crown prince of Britain at the time, ran a charity to help troubled youths. It's still going as I write this in 2024, and Charles has finally become king. 

These concerts didn't happen every year. In fact, I don't think there was any after the 1982 one I mentioned until this one, although there was a Dire Straits concert in 1985 that benefited the charity. This one, though, was truly a star-studded event. Perhaps inspired by Live Aid in 1985, the big names showed up in droves.

In fact, I find this concert frustrating, because so much big name talent was underused. The concerts started with sets by Big Country, Suzanne Vega, and Level 42. I definitely like Big Country and Suzanne Vega (whereas Level 42, not so much), and I've posted albums by them here. But it seems very odd to me that they got to play four or five songs each, while much bigger names like Sting, Mark Knopfler, George Michael, David Bowie, and Mick Jagger got less than one full song, since they only appeared as part of duets. Very strange.

That said, what there is here is quite good. It's just that I wish there had been a lot more of it. But as far as I can tell, this was the complete concert. I guess the organizers had to keep things relatively short because the concert was broadcast live on TV and radio in Britain. I gather the reason Big Country, Suzanne Vega, and Level 42 had such surprisingly long sets was because one purpose of the show was to showcase new talent. This is a trend with the other Prince's Trust concerts I'm aware of. At least in this year the new acts would end up being pretty good. (Some other years weren't so lucky.)

One special aspect of this concert is how much the big stars in the second half of the show performed together. You don't really see it in the artist credits on each song. For instance, typically, Phil Collins played drums, Elton John played piano, Midge Ure of Ultravox played rhythm guitar, and Eric Clapton or Mark Knoplfer played lead guitar. At one point, you can hear Rod Stewart joke about how happy he is to finally get Elton John in his backing band. But that's not all. You really the watch the video this (the whole thing can be found on YouTube as I type this) to see all the stars backing each other.

The highlights are many, too many for me to describe. But I'll point out that the biggest start of the evening had to be Paul McCartney, who closed the show. Keep in mind that, from the perspective of 1986, McCartney hadn't barely played in any concerts since the 1970s. Starting in 1989 he would go on a world tour, and he would tour often after that. But he'd only made three other concert appearances in the 1980s prior to this, and each one was just for a couple of songs at most. (For instance, he played one song for Live Aid in 1985.)

By the way, note that there's a flaw with the duet of "Dancing in the Street" by David Bowie and Mick Jagger. For some reason, Bowie's vocals are way down in the mix. I currently don't have the means to fix that, since it's tricky with them singing together most of the time. But with audio editing technology advancing recently, it probably will be fixable eventually.

Note that various versions of this concert have been officially released, both on audio and video. But as far as I can tell, none of them are complete. The audio version, for instance, is only the length of a single album. So there's a lot more music here.

This album is two hours and 17 minutes long.

Each time one of these concerts happened, there typically was a group photo. If anyone wants to identify all the people in the photo, that would be great.

Popgala '73, Sporthal de Vliegermolen, Voorburg, Netherlands, 3-10-1973, Part 4: The Faces

The next album from the Popgala '73 festival is the Faces. (And yeah, I know that technically they're just called "Faces" like the Eagles from this festival are technically just "Eagles.")

The Faces still had their original membership, including Ronnie Lane, who would leave later in 1973. Their album "Ooh La La" was released the same month as this concert, but only "Cindy Incidentally" is from that album.

Or at least that's all we know of. I think it's highly likely there was a lot more to the Faces' set that isn't included here. Other acts at the festival like the Eagles and the Who had sets that were close to an hour long, so I would assume the Faces did too, and they were one of the biggest acts of the festival.

As it is, I had to piece this together from different sources, and I had to make some educated guesses about the song order. It seems "Cindy Incidentally" was the last song, but beyond that much of the rest could be wrong. If anyone has more accurate information, please let me know.

Just like many of the other albums from this festival, I thought the lead vocals were low relative to the instruments, so I adjusted them using UVR5.

This concert is 33 minutes long.

Rod Stewart - BBC Sessions, Volume 1: BBC Rock Hour, Olympia Exhibition Hall, London, Britain, 12-24-1976

Some months ago, in my insatiable question for material for my big BBC project here, I came across a recording of this Rod Stewart concert. But I decided it wasn't worth posting here, due to poor sound quality. Then, last week (as I write this in May 2023), I came across the editing work of Captain Acid, and found a bunch of concert recordings that he made sound better. For this one, his version sounded so much better that I think he worked from a different source than the one I had. This now sounds great.

One reason I think Captain Acid worked from a different source is because this one had a flaw that mine did not, in that all the songs faded in at their starts and faded out at their ends. Luckily, this didn't seem to hinder the music or any of the banter between songs. Also, there was a decent amount of applause after the music ended and before the fade-outs began. So I simply cut out the fade-ins and fade-outs, and made sure the applause levels matched. 

This also had the problem of the lead vocals being too low in the mix. But I fixed that with the audio editing program UVR5.

One problem that I couldn't fix though is that sometimes, when Stewart talked between songs, his voice is hard to understand. He had tons of reverb on the microphone, which didn't help. If he talks while the crowd was roaring, it sounds bad. But if he talks when the crowd was quiet, it's pretty decent. His voice is perfectly fine during the actual songs; it's just the banter that sound muddy at times.

In my opinion, Stewart's music was great in the late 1960s and early 1970s, especially when he was part of the Faces, but then it went downhill as the 1970s went on. By the end of the 1970s, his reputation nosedived because he went all in with disco (with songs like "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy"), and then disco soon went way out of fashion. But at the time of this concert in 1976, during his first tour as a solo artist, he still was releasing great songs like "Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)," "I Don't Want to Talk about It," "The Killing of Georgie (Part I and II)," and "Sailing," all of which are performed here. So this still had that classic rock early 1970s sound all the way through.

This album is an hour and 27 minutes long. Note that a portion of this concert was also broadcast on the "Old Grey Whistle Test" BBC TV show.

The Jeff Beck Group - Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA, 7-24-1968

This is easily the best sounding bootleg from when Rod Stewart was a part of the Jeff Beck Group in the 1960s. It has gotten around publicly, including with several grey market releases (meaning they look like official releases but the original artist has no say and gets no profit). In 2023, I found a recently posted version that was edited by Captain Acid and Professor Goody to fix speed and pitch issues. It's the best sounding version yet.

However, that version still had big sound quality issues, in my opinion. Some people, such as those two, are purists who only want to fix technical flaws. I'm more than willing to go further and tinker with whatever I think makes a recording sound better. In this case, I thought the lead vocals were too low in many places. So, using the audio editing program X-Minus, I went through the entire recording line and line, and made lots of little adjustments. That's because some areas needed much more volume boosting than others. For instance, Jeff Beck sang only one song, "Hi Ho Silver Lining." His vocals had to be boosted more than Stewart's. He's a lead guitarist, not really a singer, so I suspect his microphone was turned down lower. And on "Morning Dew," there were parts where Stewart's vocals were so low they could barely be heard at all. But now they come through loud and clear.

But I made some other edits as well. This is an excellent soundboard bootleg, overall. But one problem with excellent soundboards is that they sometimes capture the sound on stage so well that barely any audience cheering is heard. That was the case here, so I boosted the audience reactions at the ends of songs quite a bit. I also boosted what little banter there was between songs. Finally, the first fifteen or so seconds of the first song, "You Shook Me," were missing. I used the BBC version of that song, which I've also posted at this blog, to fill in that missing part. The two versions matched very well. That's why the first song has "[Edit]" in the title, although in fact I made many edits to all the songs.

The one downside to this concert is that it's relatively short. But it appears to be the whole thing. I found set lists of some other concerts they did around this time with the exact same songs in the same order. They weren't well known yet - their first album "Truth" came out several days AFTER this concert - so they only had a short opening slot. You can hear Beck mention at the end that Moby Grape was going to come to the stage next.

It's true this concert is short, only 32 minutes long. But the sound quality is fantastic for a 1968 live recording, and the band was on fire.

I'm really happy with how the cover photo of Beck came out. It was taken at the Fillmore West in 1968, but later in the year, in December. The original was in black and white. However, I've found a new program to colorize pictures. It's called Palette and it does an even better job than Pixbim does, using the same kind of new AI (artificial intelligence) technology as that used in ChatGPT and other revolutionary programs. It's free, and you can find it here:

Rod Stewart with Jeff Beck - Tacoma Dome, Seattle, WA, 7-8-1984

The great lead guitarist Jeff Beck died a couple of days ago (as I write this in January 2023). I wanted to post something to mark his death, and I decided on this. It's much more of a Rod Stewart concert, but Beck played guitar on six songs. I figure it's a lesser known thing that may be a surprise to many of his fans.

Stewart and Beck played together for a couple of years in the late 1960s in the Jeff Beck Group. They got along well musically but clashed on a personal level. Then Beck played on Stewart's single "Infatuation" in 1984. Beck then agreed to play in Stewart's next concert tour. I'll let Stewart explain what happened next, from his autobiography:

"The problem with this, from the outset, was that it all too obviously cast Jeff in a supporting role, which he was pretty much guaranteed to hate, however handsomely remunerated. The tour was set for 74 dates over four months. Behind the scenes, a lot of people were muttering and saying, 'This is doomed - he won’t last two shows.' But they were all wrong. He lasted three. And then he left, saying something about how the audience were all housewives, which was a little bit rude of the old scamp."

Stewart exaggerates a bit. Beck actually lasted six shows. This one was the fourth. But still, that wasn't long. Luckily, this bootleg exists of their brief 1984 reunion, and it's an excellent soundboard. There was only one problem with the sound: it was such an excellent soundboard that you couldn't hear much of the audience. So I boosted the cheering at the end of each song.

I lost most of my interest in Stewart after he went full disco with songs like his 1978 Number One single "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy." In the early 1980s, he went all the way into the synth-heavy new wave sound. That sound has not dated well for him. He did put out some good singles, but his 1980s albums generally get lower ratings than those from the 1970s or 1990s. Luckily, this concert is more of a throwback to his 1960s and 1970s blues rock sound. I'm sure a big part of that was due to the presence of Beck. I highly doubt he would have done songs like "Rock My Plimsoul" and "I Ain't Superstitious" - both from the Jeff Beck Group days - otherwise. But most of the other songs have more of a rock sound than being dated by 1984 sounds. However, there are exceptions, like the cover of the Free classic "All Right Now," redone in synth-heavy new wave style. 

This album is an hour and 26 minutes long.

The cover photo of Stewart and Beck was taken in New York City in 1984. For once, I didn't use Photoshop to bring them closer together. Apparently they were hugging while at a press conference to start the concert tour.

Aretha Franklin - Duets, Nederlander Theatre, New York City, 4-28-1993

By the 1990s, Aretha Franklin had fallen from her golden era (1960s and 1970s) when it came to new material, but her mighty voice was still strong. A problem was that she suffered production issues, due to trying to sound current. That wasn't nearly as much of a problem when it came to live performances. Here's a very interesting one, because it's chock-a-block with duets with other big name musicians.

This was a benefit concert done for AIDS research. It was broadcast on national TV in the US as "Duets." As such, it was professionally recorded, and the sound quality is excellent. It also means that things moved very quickly, to make the best use of every second of screen time. Typically, even before the clapping from one song had finished, someone started had started to introduce the next one. Apparently, in real time, the show lasted four hours, with big delays between songs and multiple retakes. But then things were edited down for an hour-long show.

However, I found a review of the concert at the time in the New York Times, which you can read here:

https://www.nytimes.com/1993/04/29/arts/review-pop-aretha-franklin-in-stellar-company-and-on-her-own.html

From that, it sounds like this contains all of the songs performed, or at least all of the good stuff. (There's mention of a song Franklin lip-synced to at the end, strangely enough.) According to that review, Franklin sang circles around nearly all of her star guests, and I agree.

Musically, she wisely stuck to doing her classic songs, avoiding any songs from her latest album at the time, "What You See Is What You Sweat" (which wasn't very good). She also did two Motown songs she'd never done before, "Just to See Her" and "This Old Heart of Mine."

This seems like the sort of thing that was designed for an official release, but I see no sign of that having ever happened. By the way, it's rather odd in my opinion (since I don't see a logical Aretha connection), but actor Robert De Niro introduced one of the songs. And actor Dustin Hoffman also was on stage, but whatever role he had must have been cut from this recording.

This album is 54 minutes long.

The Steampacket - BBC Sessions (1965-1966)

I've already posted an album of stray tracks by the Steampacket. If you want to know more about them, please look at that album posting. 

In short, they were a kind of super group, in that Rod Stewart, Long John Baldry, Brian Auger, and Julie Driscoll were members. But it wasn't really a supergroup, because only Long John Baldry was famous enough at the time to appear sometimes on British TV at the time. He and especially the others would become much more famous later. The group was only together for about a year in 1965 and 1966. Stewart and Baldry split for various reasons, including the inability to get the legal rights for all four of them to record together, since they were signed to different record companies. Auger, Driscoll, and the rest of the band stayed together as "Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger, and the Trinity," and had a lot of commercial success in the late 1960s.

When I posted that other album by Steampacket, it gathered up pretty much all I could find by them other than their BBC recordings. That's so I could present their BBC stuff separately here. Unfortunately, there isn't much. They only did two BBC sessions for a total of seven songs.

I've added to that two songs that were done in concert and were broadcast on the US TV show "Shindig." Unfortunately, while the BBC tracks sound fine, those two are a lot rougher. There's plenty of audience screaming all the way through. That's especially the case for the second song, "I Feel Alright," because they were joined on stage by Eric Burdon, lead singer of the Animals, and Steve Winwood, lead singer of the Spencer Davis Group. Both of those bands had considerably more commercial success at the time. For that song, you can hear Burdon, Winwood, Baldry, Stewart, and Driscoll all sing lead vocals at various points. So I figure it's historically important, even if the sound quality isn't great. If you want to watch it instead, you can find the video of YouTube.

It's too bad the Steampacket didn't stay together longer or record more, because they made for an interesting combination. Auger didn't sing much, generally sticking to playing the organ. But Stewart, Baldry, and Driscoll all take turns singing lead on the various songs here.

Two of the songs, "It's Alright" and "Going to a Go Go," have "[Edit]" in them because of the usual problem of BBC DJs talking over the music. And I did the usual fix of using the X-Minus audio editing program to wipe those vocals. I also added "[Edit]" to the first two songs because I made some edits in the audio editing program Audacity to try to improve the poor sound. Mainly, after separating the lead vocals out from the rest, I boosted those vocals relative to everything else to try to make them easier to hear over the and screaming and overall chaos. If you think this sounds bad, you should hear how they sounded before those edits. 

Even with the two live songs added, this album is only 25 minutes long. All of it is officially unreleased. I would have loved to add more, but this is all I could find. If you know of anything I've missed, please let me know.

For the Idle Race BBC album I just posted, I was complaining about how hard it is to find even one decent color photo of a band like that. That does much more so for the Steampacket, since they were an even more obscure band. For the Steampacket stray tracks album I've posted here already, I selected a black and white photo and colorized it. For this cover, I selected a different black and white photo and colorized it too. 

I don't know of any genuine color photos of the group, although I have seen some very badly done colorized efforts (much worse than mine!). I have seen a color version of the two Shindig live songs here, but the picture quality was so low-res and generally bad that I decided not to use that. I also used the same exact font type and colors as with the Steampacket stray tracks album I made, for a bit of artistic consistency between the two albums.

The Faces - Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA, 10-28-1970

I thought I had posted all the Faces music here that I wanted to post. But then I got to thinking about what the sound editing programs Spleeter and X-Minus could do. I remembered a Faces concert from 1970 that sounded great except for the fact that the vocals were too low. That's something that can be fixed now, so here it is.

This is an audience bootleg, but one of those rare ones that sound really good. It had two big problems, but I believe I fixed them both. The first one is the low vocals that I already mentioned. I've boosted those for every song. The second one is that, because it's an audience bootleg, there was a lot of audience noise during the songs. For slow blues songs in particular like "Devotion" and "Blues Deluxe," there were many "Woo-hoo!" type shouts all through the songs. But don't worry, because I was able to split the vocals onto a separate channel using X-Minus, then I erased dozens of such shouts as I came across them. 

The end result is that this sounds even more like a soundboard. It also suggests what can be done with cleaning up many other bootleg recordings. I hope other people will see the potential of these new programs and start using them for purposes like this.

When the Faces released their first album in early 1970, "First Step," it was credited to the "Small Faces" in the US and Canada, but just the "Faces" everywhere else. Apparently the thinking was the band wasn't well enough in North America yet to use their own name. This concert took place about half a year after that album was released, but they were still billed as "Small Faces" for it. You can hear Rod Stewart refer to themselves as that in some between song banter. Despite that, I'm billing them here just as the "Faces," since they became widely known with that name.

One really nice thing about this concert is that it's unusually long. All the other ones I've posted by the band range from about 40 minutes to an hour and 20 minutes, but this one is nearly two hours long. (An hour and 51 minutes, to be precise.) I suspect that's because there was no opening act, so they played longer to give the audience enough bang for their buck. Stewart even complained about the lack of an opening act in his talking between songs.

If you can think of any other recordings that have systematic problems, such as vocals too loud, or too low, or bass too loud, etc, please let me know. It's possible such things can be fixed.

As usual when it comes to the Faces, I had to scrounge around to find a decent color photo to use for the cover. I found one from a TV appearance in 1973. I would have much preferred something from around 1970, but at least Ronnie Lane was still a member of the band. From left to right, that's Ronnie Wood, Rod Steward, and Ronnie Lane. 

This photo was marred by colorful drawings of large insects behind the band members. (I used another photo from this same appearance on the "BBC Sessions, Volume 7" album, so you can see what I mean there.) It was really distracting in this particular photo, so I used Photoshop to darken the background to the point that the weird insects can barely been seen. I would have liked to include the other two band members (Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones), but they weren't included in the photo.

The Faces - Swing Auditorium, San Bernardino, CA, 3-7-1975

I recently posted seven albums of the Faces performing for the BBC, from 1969 to 1973. The Faces stayed together for two more years after that, though without key member Ronnie Lane. However, it doesn't appear that they recorded anything for the BBC during that time. I think the BBC albums show the Faces live at their best, due to the excellent sound quality. To finish things off, I picked the one 1975 concert bootleg that is a soundboard and matches the sound quality of the BBC stuff. Here it is.

Three of the performances here come from the official box set "Five Guys Walk into a Bar..." But if you ask me, it doesn't really make any difference in terms of sound quality. It all sounds great. I only had to make some minor tweaks here and there, such as boosting the volume during the banter between songs.

The Faces released one live album while they were still together, and it was recorded in 1973 with the same line-up here (meaning no Ronnie Lane). It had the unwieldy title "Rod Stewart / Faces Live: Coast to Coast - Overtures and Beginners." It's not a very good album by Faces standards, mostly due to the surprisingly poor sound quality. This one is way better.

This album is an hour and 17 minutes long.

The cover art photo was taken in concert in 1974. It only shows three band members (left to right): Ronnie Wood, the new bassist Tetsu Yaumachi, and Rod Stewart. I would have liked a photo with all the band members, but this was the best looking concert photo with this line-up that I could find.
