Another nice haul. The Secret Policeman's Ball I'd love to find that, I used to have them both on cassette. I just saw Springsteen on a chat show and at 75 he must have a portrait in his attic!
@@markspooner1224 Listened to Secret policeman’s ball last night. Still sounded great. I forgot I also have a volume 3 on vinyl. Nice Dorian Grey reference lol. He Probably had some work done too.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow I don't have any of the Secret Policeman Ball albums, but I do have a dvd video compilation of highlights called Secret Policeman Rocks from Shout Entertainment.
A few comments: The CN&Y (no S) is a good sounding boot.Jackson Browne live disc has some Lindley solo songs as well. Grace Slick best -of is a great career overview. All of the Secret Policeman's Ball releases are fun listens. Thanks again for jogging the ol' memory bank with a fine video!😊
@@jimalaimo8467 thanks so I much. Wow so no Stills. That’s wild. I have to listen to that. So curious. Also curious about the Browne album. Thanks do much.
Some great finds among the "silvers" ... Jennifer Warnes' CD is, as you noted, wonderful, Secret Policeman's Ball is a definite keeper of a CD which I don't ever remember seeing "in the wild" .... I had the Bad Co., post Paul Rodgers era, CDs which I moved on a few years back as they were "fine" (but, for me, not good as the "post 4" Foreigner mentioned in other comments. .... Foreigner still delivered keeper albums (do check out Can't Slow Down album) and great live gigs ... the Jackson Browne / David Lindley live set is great (and fortunately any intro chat before each song (there is a fair bit) is treated as a separate track .... so you can skip it after you've heard it once ... CMcG, Aberdeen, Scotland .... p.s. latest info re latest gigs in Aberdeen - Justin Hayward (Moody Blues) was a good night, 10cc were "awesome" (just superb) ... then, change of scene, family holiday to Prague where, believe it or not, I enjoyed (endured!) the Jonas Brothers then Take That on successive nights! ....(though I was watching the Scotlland v Portugal international soccer game on my phone at the same time as Jonas Brothers were doing their thing) ...This week it will be an acoustic set from When Rivers Meet .... p.p.s. although I could not go, my colleagues from church who travelled to Glasgow said the Steve Hackett gig was amazing ... with standing ovations at end of both Set 1 and Set 2 ... reviews from other towns have been similar .... p.p.p.s. ... kept up with the baseball too ... there's always next year ... would have enjoyed a Mets / Yankees gig though...
Thanks so much - wow you see a lot of gigs and do a lot...that's awesome. I saw Hackett once a few years ago - and he was amazing....being a huge fan of the early "classic" Genesis, Hackett has really filled the void (along with The Musical Box). Looking forward to the Browne / Lindley album - nice that they made the intros track you can skip - that's a novel idea. Jonas Brothers and Take That....I give you props for your musical diversity....more diverse than me...lol. Bummed about The Mets lost - another subway series would have been very sweet indeed.
I sure do remember the The Secret Policeman's Other Ball--friend of mine brought it to school one day, and gave it to me during a lunch hour, insisting I had to listen to it. He loved all kinds of music and was always greatly impressed by singers, and he was blown away by Sting's performances...I remember liking it very much, and was even more impressed with Townshend's performance on the first volume. As for the second set, I recall Beck and Clapton's very tasty exchanges on their mini-set. I never knew that stuff ever saw the light of a CD transfer....were these not Amnesty benefit/awareness concerts?
@@anthonyaswe4174 great personal stories. Thanks for sharing. Yes that was the beginning of Amnesty awareness. It was largely started by John Cleese with comedy. He knew little about popular music. As you said Townshend was spectacular and his musical performance really put it on the map. I also didn’t know it was on cd. Still sounds fantastic and yes Sting is great on it. What a voice.
Nice finds. There are actually 4 Bad Co albums with Brian Howe. 1st two are Fame And Fortune, and Dangerous Age. DA and Holy Water are the strongest imo. I recently picked up Company of Strangers at a flea market, that is the album after How About That. Really good album with singer Robert Hart, return to their 70s sound. There's a 2nd album with Hart called Stories Told and Untold, half originals and half revisits of 70s Bad Co tracks.
@@brianzawistowski5743 thanks so much for this great info. I’ve seen that Stories album a lot in the wild but never gave them a shot without Paul R. Looking forward to checking them out.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised with Bad Co cds..like you I was dubious to give them a go, as Bad Company with Paul were iconic.The Mellencamp cd looks pretty good as it included David Grissom (formerly Joe Ely and latterly Storyville . Each of these benefitted from Grissoms awesome playing !! All great value musical items at that price..unbeatable
@@garethmillard7005 thanks. I didn’t know about Grissom and Joe Ely. Interesting. Looking forward to checking out those later day Bad Co. seems like people really like them.
Thanks so much - yea - that one I see in the wild often - I heard many people love Hart's voice with Bad Co so after listening to these, I'll see how they grab me and explore further - thanks so much.
That one Springsteen has a duet with Elliot Murphy doing Rock Ballad?!?! Very interesting.OMG....I can't believe you just got that Jennifer Warrens. Be on the lookout for the more recent anniversary edition. I have that Jackson Browne. It's good. I think you will enjoy it. Everything a dollar!!!!and you dropped something!!!!! Makes for a great video. By the way, your girlfriend, Taylor Swift is doing 3 shows at the Superdome this weekend. The city is Swiftie Nuts. I may be going to a Swiftie happy hour this weekend, seriously. You may not know that Rickie Lee Jones has been living in New Orleans for awhile now. It looks like you have a set of Secret Police balls😂🤣😂🤣
I know you're going to all three Swift shows. I warned her to be on the lookout for a crazy local named David. Didn't know that about Rickie Lee. I'm not a big fan of hers, yes I do have those first two albums. I think I'm gonna like the Browne album....well hopefully. I forgot the third Secret Policeman's album which I also have. So I have three Secret Police balls.....lol
I have a lot of time for the Brian Howe era of Bad Company. There's not much in common with the earlier band but the albums are solidly enjoyable AOR efforts in the vein of Foreigner. The post- Brian Howe album with Robert Hart, Company Of Strangers, is worth a listen too. It essentially occupies the middle ground between the previous incarnations.
@@jasonpp1973 yea the first four were a good run. 3rd a bit weaker to me. After the fourth I lost interest pretty much. Love the first two as you said.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow For the later period, a comp works well for Foreigner, I never need to hear I Wanna to know What Love Is ever again, that song was played to an early grave on the radio. Say you Will and That was Yesterday were much better songs in my opinion.
I found it quite amusing that among the CSNYs & Bad Companys & Jackson Brownes you picked up, one album stood out, no real surprise probably, The Secret Policeman's Ball, but also one name, and one you didn't mention, but that was the late, possibly great, Neil Innes. Don't know how much you know about him, but his Wiki is actually quite good and worth a read. And there are some names there (Andy Roberts, Adrian Henri) that mean a lot to me, but that I guess are unheard of across the pond? And there are stories...............
Hi Martin - yea, pretty much I suspect unknown in the US. I do know his name and some of his work. So without any research, here's my memory of him - let me know if I'm off. I believe he was with the Bonzo Doo-Dah Band? I know of them but not any of their music. What else. He may have been in The Rutles - (i have the laserdisc but been decades since I've watched it). What else - I'm a big fan of Monty Python and he probably somewhere was mixed in with them - not part of the troupe of course - maybe songs (considering the Bonzos and Rutles...good bet). So anyway, nice mention as I know John Cleese was instrumental in doing the Secret Policeman's balls and Cleese was well known for not being a big fan of popular music...maybe Innes was involved in that. Alright....let me know how off I am..probably big time. Thanks my friend.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Bonzos - yes. Rutles - yes. Python - yes. Much of it utter madness and British to the core, of course. And a band called Grimms with various musicians & poets in the early to mid-70s. Not 'off' at all. I am impressed, good Sir!
@@martinstarnes2237 Thanks Martin - I"m actually a really big Pyhon's fan and The Rutles was fun. Fawlty Towers is one of my all time favorite shows (even have the laserdisc boxset). As an aside, another one of my all time favorite shows was called Ripper Street - have the DVD's and watched that whole series twice. But I've never heard of Grimms. Thanks so much as always Martin.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow My Dad, who'd have been just in his fifties by then, and I (around 13) used to watch Python together on the tv in 1969/70ish and we both found it hilarious.

@@martinstarnes2237 Love your stories - I used to watch Python on what we call here PBS tv. Few watched it, but those of us who did loved it. Python really broke here I guess with Holy Grail.

Nice grabs, Alan. I'm curious, how do you find the time to actually listen to your massive collection? I've been downsizing over the past few years and very careful of what I purchase these days mainly because I just didn't have the time and realized some of it had to go. I'm a listener more than a collector so I understand if others feel differently.
@@ExileOnMyStreet unfortunately I don’t. I listen to music everyday. I only listen to my physical media. I’m with you. I don’t consider myself a collector.

So I will be interested to hear your thoughts on those Bad Co cd's. The comments from others sound promising. BTW Did you hear that the Celtic Wizzards strat went for 1.1 million US Dollars at auction? Cheers Perry
Yea getting real curious about those Bad Co Cds. People seem to like them a lot. As for Rory Gallagher's strat....wow. I'm always amazed with these guitar auctions and the incredible amounts these guitars go for. Mind blowing stuff - always amazing how many super wealthy people there are who can spend this money on......wait for it......a guitar. Seriously in a way makes me a little sad in that, I could be wrong, but I imagine that Rory Gallagher himself wasn't fantastically rich. Could he have afforded his own guitar? If that's the case, there's something wrong when a guitar is worth more than the artist himself....just a thought from little old me... Best, Alan
Thanks so much. As of today, I have exactly 5,360 albums in my collection - that's CD's and vinyl - about 700 vinyl, the rest CD's. I also have about 300 CDs in my backlog that I havent gotten to yet. Thanks again.
some interesting stuff for the King of $1 CDs. I remember the secret policeman shows. Mainly cause of Pete Townshend. I know ya say if ya don’t like it ya dump it and keep the case. Is that true? when you say ya dump it do ya mean ya throw it in trash and keep empty case? why not just donate it to Goodwill or something? are the songs on that Best of Grace Slick her rerecording those tunes as a solo release? or is it just the original songs? Seems weird if its the original songs.
I believe Grace's album are the original recordings. An interesting idea - got Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Solo stuff and Starship material. Depending on the CD, I'll toss it and keep the cases or sell to local store if more valuable CD, but they pay so little, but I paid so little so might break even or so. But as you saw, don't really have much more space so have to be a little picky.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Alan do you have the ability on your system to play PAL dvds?Also if you don't compare the Bad Co.with Howe with the Paul Rodgers albums they are pretty good if you just look at each album and not compare them
@@thomaswery3087 Thanks Tom - yea - gotta say it seems like so many people here really like these Bad Company albums - kind of looking forward to hearing them. I don't think I can play PAL discs. Thanks.
The Brian Howe version of bad company has some decent moments holy water is definitely one of the better albums of his era with the band I find it gets better through the mid point of the album dangerous age is the best album of the Brian Howe version of bad company and also Terry Thomas's production is good for this era of the band avoid fame and fortune it's a wasted opportunity with legendary producer Keith Olsen and way to commercial for bad company
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow enjoy and happy listening you might be pleasantly surprised and another good Brian Howe led album is Ted Nugent's 1984 album penetrator

the Bad Company CD's you bought are good you need to buy Bad Company Dangerous Age
Yea people are saying that's a real good one. I'll give these a listen to see how I like post Paul era, but people are loving that album as you said.
Alan I think you might have more bootlegs than I have cds lol
lol. I actually think you have more doubles of CD's than all my 5,000 plus CD's....lol. Your collection makes me look like amateur hour.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Alan do you have the ability on your system to play PAL dvds?Also if you don't compare the Bad Co.with Howe with the Paul Rodgers albums they are pretty good if you just look at each album and not compare them
@@thomaswery3087 Thanks Tom - yea - gotta say it seems like so many people here really like these Bad Company albums - kind of looking forward to hearing them. I don't think I can play PAL discs. Thanks.
The Brian Howe version of bad company has some decent moments holy water is definitely one of the better albums of his era with the band I find it gets better through the mid point of the album dangerous age is the best album of the Brian Howe version of bad company and also Terry Thomas's production is good for this era of the band avoid fame and fortune it's a wasted opportunity with legendary producer Keith Olsen and way to commercial for bad company
Thanks so much - so great to hear so many positive thoughts on the Bad Co years with Brian Howe - I'm looking forward to hearing them.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow enjoy and happy listening you might be pleasantly surprised and another good Brian Howe led album is Ted Nugent's 1984 album penetrator
@@georgemathie8123 I didn't know Howe sang with Nugent - I'm not a big Nugent fan, just have two of his albums....interesting. Looking forward to these bad company albums. Seems like so many people like them a lot.
Awesome pick ups those bad company albums are great actually better than the last two with Paul Rogers
Gotta say, I'm hearing such good things about the Bad Company albums, I'm really glad I bought them - looking forward to hearing them.
Saw Bruce on the 92 tour, not the same without the E Street Band.
@@chrisschlacter-e3v yea. I didn’t see that tour. Thought the two albums were ok. Was interesting that he also did the live plugged album and dvd with that band.
