HORRIFIC COVER SONGS THURSDAY! – BILLY IDOL Channels Jim Morrison in the song he was meant to cover, "LA Woman," from the 1990 album Charmed Life, it’s all very heady and horrific stuff, ya dig?
HORRIFIC COVER SONGS THURSDAY! – JOHN HIATT Covers The ISLEY BROTHER’s "FIGHT THE POWER" on his first big US Tour in 1979 at The Bottom Line in NYC on Halloween 1979….THE HORROR!!
John Hiatt in 1979 – still a little rough around the edges.
That’s okay, makes for good music.

HORRIFIC COVER SONG THURSDAY! – Our Beloved House Band THE BLACK CROWES Do Up Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s "PRE-ROAD DOWNS" in a transcendental version at Amsterdam 2006,,,,The Sheer Horror!!
“What was I saying again?”
The Crowes have covered many bands and songs through the
years, they literally could fill up scores of cd’s. Their
CSNY’s Pre-Road Downs is one of the more esoteric
selections but totally fits the vibe of this heavily touring
band, they might as well wrote it themselves!
from Amsterdam 2006 – 7daylink
The Horror!!
careful around this next bend, we’re headed for "BAD COUNTRY"! – 2014 Thriller with MATT DILLON and WILLEM DAFOE about a convict turned informant and the cop he helped bring down an entire syndicate…..THE HORROR!!
Had I seen just the poster by itself I probably never
would have checked it out, guns are not really my
scene, ya dig? The story’s been told before and there’s
nothing spectacular with the production values,
but the performances of two veteran actors that have
both been around since the 80’s, Willem Dafoe is
great as always, and my man Matt Dillon turns
in another riveting performance, it’s just amazing
to see how far his acting chops have come since
the days of Tex ha ha. Well this ain’t no editorial
type blog so I’ll get right to the Palm Springs Rating
System on this with Three Solid Palm Trees.
The Sheer Horror!!
DEEP PURPLE 1973! – An oldie but goody Cd boot by the name of "LAZY IN ITALY" show from March 11 1973 also a bit on the rare side, an audience capture of pretty decent quality, call it a B+++….The Horror!!
Greetings and Welcome To Tommy’s House Of Horrors! – Wheeling out a double-shot of DEEP PURPLE on this Hump Day, "Live In Europe – The Lost Extra Tapes" is a horrific set of 5 outtakes that didn’t make the album….THE HORROR!!
got this in a trade as a bonus the guy threw in,
it’s 5 tracks that didn’t make the Live In Europe
album, runs about 35 mins, Smoke, Highway,
The Gypsy and a couple others, even if you gave

nice contact high…The Horror!! 7daylink
