Welcome from Feralpunk

Well, I've been going through all my old tapes and records, and slowly digitizing all the stuff that's either a bootleg of a gig, an old demo or just no longer available. I was occasionally sharing it in other forums and blogs but, largely inspired by the most excellent New Improved Live And Otherwise blog thought I would start my own up as a central place to share by obscurities with the world.
The name of the blog is the name of the metal/punk/industrial night I used to run at the Egypt Cottage in Newcastle, resurrected here for old time's sake.
Feel free to repost anything you find or to ask for a re-up if the link has gone dead.
Also feel free to leave any comments you may have about the music or the blog.
Enjoy!

Ronnie James Dio R.I.P.

Well, I'm back, didja miss me? So, while I've been away on tour, a great talent of rock n roll passed away. We knew RJD was ill when he cancelled dates last year and announced he had cancer, but we all assumed he'd pull through. My thoughts are with Wendy and the rest of his family.

So, to commemorate the tiny giant of metal, here are two Friday Rock Show broadcasts of Dio gigs. Both from the Donington Monsters Of Rock Festivals. I was at the 1987 one, at the tender age of 16. It was a great day of metal!

2 - Straight Through The Heart
3 - Children Of The Sea

    Many Many thanks for posting these,I remember listening to the '87 donnington broadcast with fond memories, yes i too was saddened to learn of Dio's passing that very weekend as i was following blabbermouth closly for updates hoping for the best, but.....this is a tragic event that will have a huge impact on rock/metal,Unfortunatly our heros are growing old and this is somthing we have to face, my thoughts are with Ronnie,wendy,his family and all the fans out there! he has touched us all with his music and his legacy will live on.
    so fitting to hear the late great Tommy Vance introducing the now late great Ronnie James Dio....it would be nice to think T.V. introduces all the legends as they enter Rock an Roll Heaven?..... \m/ \m/
