James Gang Walk Away

2006-09-06T22:23:00.000-07:00

Joe Walsh and The James Gang perform "Walk Away" on a television show in 1971.

The Balls.

Sly Stoned

2006-09-06T21:22:00.000-07:00

Sly Stone appearance on the Dick Cavett show in 1970. Absolutely stoned and absolutely hilarious.

Wild Cherry

2006-09-06T21:13:00.000-07:00

Badly lip-synched vid of their smash hit "Play That Funky Music, White Boy".

Great tune, but credit where credit is due: PTFMWB is a fairly blatant rip of Sly & The Family Stone's "Thank You":

21 Guns (Scott Gorham)

2006-08-29T20:54:00.000-07:00

"Knee Deep" video from Thin Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham's band 21 Guns from early 90's.

This song is sadly not one of the better tunes on the record, but is it all we could find on YouTube and other internet searches.

Though the singer is annoying as hell on many levels, we recommend the "Salute" CD as it does contain some of Scott's finest guitar work ever. Trust us; a lot of the songs on the record are a heck of a lot better than this one.

Barry Goudreau Dreams

2006-08-29T20:20:00.000-07:00

While Boston was "on hiatus" (conspiracy theories abound), guitarist Barry Goudreau released his solo album with a band comprised of several other Boston members.

The most notable differences between this and the original Boston lieup were the absence of Tom Scholtz and the addition of another bassist: Fran 'Cosmo'. One funny thing is that Fran, in addition to having the same name as Boston bassist Fran Sheehan, just happens to look just like Mr. Sheehan (on the album sleeve photo, at least)! Add to that the fact that he was using an obviously fake surname, and many did not even question whether these two guys were one guy. They were indeed two different guys, though.

Here's a video of "Dreams" from YouTube. There are some video quality problems in the beginning, but obscurities like this are hard to come by even on the internet, so what we get we must settle for.

Here is one of Barry's later bands, RTZ (Return To Zero) in a live performance of the same song:

Barefoot Servants

2006-08-29T20:09:00.000-07:00

Video for the single "Box of Miracles" form the first of two record releases.

Barefoot Servants was a collaboration of fabulous guitarists Jon Butcher and Ben Schultz, along with Bassist Leland Sklar and a host of other top-of-the-crop session musicians.

Raging Slab

2006-08-28T18:32:00.000-07:00

One of the best unknown bands ever. Doug is one of the most talented rock song writers to come along in years. I've always thought of him as America's answer to Philip Lynott. Sadly, this band never quite "caught on". The marketing people were too absorbed with hairy metal and grunge garbage when these guys (and gal ;)) were cranking out great hard rock boogie material by the truckload.

"What You Have Done"

"Anywhere But Here" - Gary Coleman gets a paycheck.

"Don't Dog Me" video from their self-titled debut album.

"Take A Hold" a bit of a ballad from their "Dynamite Monster Boogie Concert" album. In spite of what the album title seems to indicate, this was a studio-recorded LP.

Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action

2006-08-28T18:22:00.000-07:00

A re-recording of their hit "Shake Some Action" for performance on a television show in 1986.

One of the ballsiest rock songs ever.
