I love me some Seafood Fettuccine! And I guess when it comes to music, I’m the same…give me a good mix…portions of Led Zeppelin to U2, and stir in a big assortment of others (even outside of rock). You’ll find me at the gym, on a mountain bike, or hiking…when I get time away from work, which includes driving limousines part time. Biggest “stars” I’ve driven….Keith Richards and Ron Woods, and country artist Reba McEntire (all during my years in Portland OR).

Journey, the early years

At Journey’s performance in Austin Texas this past Wednesday, fans got quite a treat! Original lead singer and keyboardist Greg Rolie joined the group for a long set of Journey classics from the early years of the group, making the encore extra special. Rolie sang lead or co-lead on a number of Journey songs from the albums Infinity, Evolution, and Departure. And Journey spawned in-part out of the group Santana…Rolie and Neil Schon early members, and fans got another treat as they did the classic “Black Magic Woman” originally sang by Rolie in the Santana era! Toto’s Steve Lukather also joined in on guitar. Here are a few video’s from the show in Austin. Doubt we’ll get to see this line-up when Journey plays Extra Mile Arena in April…but what a great surprise to see him back with the guys for at least this one show…and we can always hope! ~ Ron O’

u2

A rumor no more…

U2 will indeed play a number of dates starting this fall at the new state of the art MSG Sphere being finished up in Las Vegas! The band made the announcement via a short video during the SuperBowl, and a press release as well. Below is the extended version of the video promoting, U2:UV Achtung Baby. Drummer Larry Mullen Jr. will not be behind the drum kit, as he will be having surgery, but he and the band are welcoming drummer Bram van den Berg…who should be quite capable of stepping in! I’ve also posted a video of Bram’s drumming below. Exact dates and ticket info will be coming soon, and I plan on doing everything I can to make a show…having not seen U2 live since the Vertigo tour…hard to believe that was almost 20 years ago! ~ Ron

Geddy & Alex comedy

Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson have teamed up with a Canadian company for a new mustard, that contains the band’s Golden Ale. Here’s a video of the duo having some fun, doing a commercial for the new Rush Canadian Golden Ale Mustard…available for pre-order via the Rush website. ~ Ron O’

R.I.P. Jeff Beck

Without a doubt, Jeff Beck was one of THE greatest guitarist of ALL-TIME, and that’s not just my opinion. In various “rankings” over the course of time, he’s consistently shown up in the Top 5 or 10. While he may not have been known to stand out in regards to commercial success directly (album sales etc), from his yearly days with the Yardbirds to one of his most recent collaborations with Johnny Depp, any musician would be honored to have played with Jeff Beck! Here are just a few video’s to enjoy: The first, some of his most recent work, the official video for the lead single from the 2022 album “18”, with Johnny Depp. And the second…a real “WOW” moment when Beck was inducted into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame (inducted by legend Jimmy Page)…and what a line-up of other guitar greats joining Beck. And Jimmy and Beck doing Beck’s Bolero and then “Immigrant Song”…mind blowing! ~ Ron

OK, Halloween is over, so I can do this…

You’ll shoot your eye out kid! One of my favorite Christmas movies, “The Christmas Story” is making a return, nearly 40 years later…with Ralphie all grown up, with kids of his own. And a number of the original characters will appear as well. From the looks of the trailer, they did a good job with this sequel…we all know how that is usually not the case, especially when it comes to following up on a classic. I’ll look forward to catching “A Christmas Story Christmas” when it hits HBO Max on November 17th. ~ Ron O’

Should be another great show!

A little bit of the Allman Brothers, and a cast of amazing musicians! It’s the Tedeschi Trucks Band at Outlaw Field Wednesday night. If you aren’t familiar with this band, heading things up is Derek Trucks and his wife Susan Tedeschi. Derek is the most “famous”, having played in the Allman Brothers Band, and is the nephew of Butch Trucks, long time drummer for the legendary group. But the talent of Tedeschi Trucks goes well beyond Derek, with his wife Susan on guitar and vocals, along with the remaining cast of 10 others! For a more in-depth look, click HERE. The show at last check not sold out, but that’s not the case with a number of shows on their current tour…and I’m looking forward to a night of fantastic music! Below are a couple of video’s from live performances. ~ Ron O’

Back together!

Word recently came out that Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson would tentatively be a part of the Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts this fall, which sent a buzz to Rush fans. But the two recently took the stage, to the surprise of many, at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver! The event was called “South Park: The 25th Anniversary Concert”, and featured creators of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, as well as Primus…long time friends of Rush. Watch the performance of “Closer To The Heart” below, and I imagine this was perhaps a little “practice” before we get to see Geddy and Alex next month at those tribute concerts to Taylor Hawkins. ~ Ron

The vintage stereo system grows…

Ok, “no more honey, I promise”! I’m guessing you’ve said those very words to your partner at some point during the relationship…as you buy just ONE more little thing for your “collection” or hobby. Well, the only person I have to suck up to is ME…and I just couldn’t resist adding one more piece to what’s becoming a more vintage stereo set-up! I had purchased the Technics equalizer a while back (brand new in the box, 1984 era!), but recently decided the modern (2018) Onkyo receiver needed to be retired to a back-up role. Managed to pick up this fine Pioneer SX-780 receiver locally, and am just lovin’ the sound! Eventually I’ll get to some vintage speakers, but for now the Polk T-50’s do alright. ~ Ron O’

New addition to the stereo…

New addition to the stereo…

So why would I buy a vintage reel-to-reel…and a 4-track machine (record/playback in both directions) at that? Well, when you have some vintage classic air checks of some legendary DJ’s from back in the 70s recorded originally on the same type machine, and you haven’t been able to listen to them in 35 or so years, it was a gotta have! Take a listen to some real old school…

Stones 12x5 front

Old school addition

This is the most recent addition to the growing O’Brian vinyl collection, and I decided to go way back…this was one I couldn’t resist! The stones 2nd album, from 1964 on Decca Records, original copy…and it plays like new! Disc Cover Records in Nampa is my go-to, as it’s not only close to the O’Brian Ranch, but Al is always getting some awesome material in! Click on my name for more of my blogs! ~ Ron O’

YEARS in the making…

It was a big blockbuster hit after it came out in 2009…Avatar. Yah it’s been that long, thirteen years! This December (after numerous delays) we get to see the sequel, “Avatar 2: The Way Of Water”. Here’s the initial teaser trailer! ~ Ron O’

They’re back at it, after a great one last fall.

Last October, the Ohio State University Marching Band did an awesome tribute to Rush, and during halftime of the spring game this Saturday (April 16), they were back, with a great tribute to Van Halen! Classic Rock has…and always will have “staying power”! ~ Ron

The latest and pretty rare addition!

The newest addition to my vinyl collection…and a rare one indeed. The original 1977 Lp “Street Survivors” in near-mint, released Oct 17…and three days later on Oct 20, 1977 the bands plane crashed, killing lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, Guitarist Steve Gaines, his sister Cassie, their assistant road manager, and the two pilots. At the request of family members, this album cover was changed shortly after the crash, using a plain picture of the band with a black background, which had been the back cover. Artimus Pyle was the bands drummer who survived the crash, and you can see he autographed this album cover in 2006, when Lynyrd Skynyrd was inducted into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame. You’ll see the planned tour for 77-78′ on one of the album inserts…the tour starting just 5 days before the crash, and late in the schedule were to be dates here in the Northwest, in late January 1978. The seller also included this personal picture taken at the grave of Cassie Gaines, and her Mother (also Cassie), who died in a car crash in 1979. ~ Ron

Next best thing to GnR

Aside from his touring with the rest of Guns n’ Roses, Slash is on the road with Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators…and fans got a nice surprise Wednesday (Feb 9) in Seatttle at the Paramount, when Duff McKagan joined the guys on stage for a few tunes…including one of my fave GnR tunes, “Night Train”! The new album hits today (Feb 11), and you can catch Slash and they guys on tour…Vegas, Feb 19, Salt Lake Feb 22, and other spots across the country. More of my blogs by clicking on my name ~ Ron O’

They’re back…no April fools joke here

It’s been a few years since the Red Hot Chili Peppers had a fresh album, and they return with “Unlimited Love” on April 1! Now, as you listen/watch this video of the first released tune “Black Summer”, and prefer a little more of the rock’n Chili Peppers…just give it a little time…you get your wish. ~ Ron O’

Whooaaa, what just happened!!?

His name, Owen Davey…who hails from Canada, and I say “all hail to Davey”!! I challenge you to find anyone this young to duplicate this music like he does! Watch beyond the drums…it just gets better and better. Talk about amazing talent, I’m betting you’ll be hearing/seeing this kid for many years to come! ~ Ron O’

Mike Campbell is back with new music…

Former Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers guitarist and his band The Dirty Knobs has a new album that hits March 4, called “External Combustion”, and features some great guest appearances…the likes of Ian Hunter, and fellow Heartbreaker Benmont Tench. Campbell and the band hit the road for a North American tour starting March 5…and I plan on being there, when they play____________________! Enjoy this great first tune “Wicked Mind” (sure reminds me of some drivin’ music of Petty & The Heartbreakers!) from the upcoming Lp. ~ Ron O’

Funny from the start…

His career spanned 40 years, and right from the start he was a great comedian. RIP Louie Anderson, passing away at 68 from Cancer. Here is the video from his very FIRST national TV appearance (hilarious)…on the Johnny Carson show November 20, 1984. ~ Ron

Rush’s Alex Lifeson is back!

If you were hoping for “Rush-like” music, well you are out of luck…but, if you’re curious as to another side of the legendary Rush guitarist and lyricist, then your in luck. Lifeson has a new band called “Envy of None” and the self-titled debut album hits April 8. Here is the first single, “Liar”. ~ Ron

David Bowie’s spot on prediction!

Check out this interview from the BBC in 1999 when David Bowie basically predicted what would happen with the internet! This was a time when the internet was still very early in general public use…nothing like what we have today, yet Bowie is pretty much spot on and confident in what it “would” become…and sure enough, it has become as he predicted. ~ Ron

The legend returns to stage!

The legend returns to stage!

It was back on July 22nd that Johnny Van Zant announced on stage that Gary Rossington was home resting following an emergency heart surgery. Saturday night Van Zant and the rest of Lynyrd Skynyrd welcomed Rossington back on stage! Rossington, the last remaining “original” member of Skynyrd, sounded great with his signature guitar work during the rock staple “Freebird”…enjoy the video. ~ Ron O’

A quick trip to the post office, turned into…

I really hadn’t intended to do any vinyl shopping, but honestly something said “just swing by” to say hello to Al at Disc-Cover records, since it’s just a few blocks from the PO…and as it turned out, it was “buy one, get one FREE” Tuesday on all used-vinyl!! OK, to be honest, I knew if I walked in the place, I’d be walking out with at least one or two pieces, but when it’s buy one-get one free…that’s just too good to pass up! All vinyl was rated “Near Mint-, or Excellent”…yet another great find of vinyl. Now it’s time to find more space! For more of my blogs click my name…thanks. ~ Ron O’

The latest vinyl additions!

Latest trip to my Nampa record store…yielded these cool finds, and I could have easily doubled this with more excellent vinyl…had I robbed a bank. Don’t get me wrong, the prices are VERY fair, but if you want “original” vinyl in excellent condition/near mint…you’re gonna pay. The most expensive…you probably guessed it, this original copy of “Are You Experienced”, not a reprint…and they vinyl plays OH so sweet! I’m not a hard core collector by any means, but I tend to purchase no less than “very good+” when it comes to the cover/sleeve and I stick with “excellent/near mint(-/+) or mint when it comes to the lp…and these all fell in that range. I did grab the Eagles “On The Border” on 180gram. For more of my blogs head here: Ron O’

Original, and vinyl is “excellent +”

Hey Jude original (1970), vinyl is near mint (Apple label)
“Hey Jude” Lp, but label printed “The Beatles Again” (a great find!)
Original, and vinyl plays near mint!
Vinyl is excellent, with just a few faint “pops”, the way a Dylan Lp should sound!
The only 180 gram piece this time around, some you’ve just gotta have that crisp sound!
Believe it or not, this is an ORIGINAL…and the vinyl is MINT, a great find!

4 Years ago…

Shortly after finishing the 40th Anniversary tour, Tom Petty passed away on October 2, 2017 at the age of 66. The tour had just wrapped on September 25th and according to his wife Dana, even though he was not feeling well, the day before he died, he stated “I’m on top of the world”! Dana said Petty was very much looking forward to what ever the future had to offer…Dana said that he had it in his mind that the tour was going to be his last. Petty suffered through a broken hip on the tour, and just before the tour started, he received the news that he had emphysema…but Dana said Tom was determined to do that tour no matter what. Rewind to August 5, 2014. Perhaps you were there…Taco Bell Arena (Now Extra Mile Arena). It was just the start of the “Hypnotic Eye” tour, which began just two days prior in San Diego. Steve Winwood opened the show, with a great assortment of songs from his long storied career, including “Low Spark of High Heeled Boys”, and “Dear Mr Fantasy” from his days in the band Traffic. Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers sounded, well…awesome! I had never seen them in concert and of course, when Petty passed away, I was SO very glad I had gone to that 2014 show…I imagine, for those of you who were there, you feel the same. Here are a couple of short videos I shot that night (including Winwood) as we remember the music legend. ~ Ron

Pretty amazing at this age…

Perhaps you were there, but if not…here’s just a few clips of videos of Sammy Hagar & The Circle from the Saturday night show, following golf that day at the Albertson’s Open. Sammy turns 74 next month, and he is still movin’ & grovin’ on stage…including his vocals AND great guitar playing! It had been a good 10 years since I’d seen Sammy, at that time with the supergroup “Chickenfoot”, and while my memory may not be as sharp as it once was…I can tell you that he’s still got it!  ~ Ron

And…they’re back!

The KISS Farewell tour has resumed…after the guys last played a live in-person show back in March of 2020. The tour kicked off in Mansfield MA, and rolls through Boise next month…a final chance to see KISS. And sorry for any hard core David Lee Roth fans…he’s NOT part of the tour. As KISS put it…he’s beyond his prime…and yah, I agree. More of my blogs by clicking on my name! ~ Ron

Paddle Boarding scare…

I’m getting set to head off on vacation, and will be doing some paddle boarding in a few spots in northern Idaho. I took up paddle boarding early last year, and had some amazing times! I stuck to lakes, including places like Redfish Lake and Stanley Lake. I have NO desire to venture elsewhere, as in bodies of water where creatures like SHARKS may be lurking! And I would especially suggest you think twice about “learning” out of the gate in the ocean, or even an ocean bay! This video shows a guy who is just learning, looks like perhaps his first time on a board, off of Virginia Beach. He’s got a GoPro type camera attached…and imagine having this happen! I’m betting he didn’t get back in the water for a second go of it, and if he ever ventured out in the future, he probably stuck to a lake or pond. ~ Ron 

Dr Feelgood label

The latest vinyl addition, and ouch!

Vinyl sales in 2020 surged almost 30 percent over 2019…and for the first time since the 80’s now outsell CDs! My latest addition is a single Lp, the most I’ve spent on just one album so far…and this won’t be happening often! The new pressings (180 gram) will typically set you back somewhere around $25 for a single Lp…BUT, if you want (and can find them) an ORIGINAL pressing, and something in very good condition, you will spend a considerable amount more! Such is the case with my latest, Motley Crue’s “Dr. Feelgood”, the original from Elektra in 1989, in what’s considered “near mint, or near mint -“…about 6 for sale in the world, via the Discogs site. With shipping this set me back $97 with shipping, and came from Germany. You can find some in lesser condition, but I like to stick with either the originals in Mint or Near Mint…or just go with the new 180 gram pressings, and many albums aren’t even available in the new pressings. At one point I had close to at least 100 albums, many of which were specialty copies from radio…and I sold that entire collection during the big recession, and that was one of those “ugh” moments, similar to when you look back on that classic car you once had, and sold. The new collection is slowly growing, but unless I hit a windfall of some sorts, it won’t be made up much of these spendy originals. ~ Ron

This one is called Mötley Reeves & the Crüellas – “Ten Seconds to Run”…one of the latest “mash ups”. I for one think these are pretty fun, and in many cases, VERY well done! As stretched as this one is (60’s vs 80’s) I think it is pretty cool. The Crue’s “Ten Seconds To Love” tied in with Martha Reeves & The Vandela’s “Nowhere to Run”! ~ Ron O’

Ann Wilson w/Gov’t Mule

Ann Wilson joined Gov’t Mule recently for one night of the bands 3 night stay in New Haven Ct. Now that is a show I wish I could have been at…especially coming off the whole “no-concerts” scenario during Covid! But we do have some decent video to share of just some of the AMAZING tunes that Ann and the band performed. The night included a number of Led Zeppelin covers (all done amazingly well, I might add!), Tom Petty’s “Luna”, and Heart’s “Magic Man”. Along with some of their original material of course…Gov’t Mule had also done numerous covers the previous two nights, the likes of Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Rolling Stones, and of course, The Allman Brothers Band. Gov’t Mule did a show here in Boise a few years ago, which I missed. Next time I get a chance, I WON’T miss one of their show! Enjoy a few of the videos below. ~ Ron O’

YES…I’m no longer a virgin!

YES…I’m no longer a virgin!

I recall, after moving to the Treasure Valley in late 2005, going to one or two of the then “Boise Burn” games. At that time it was arena football played at Century Link Arena. The league (Arena Football 2) wouldn’t last, and the Burn were defunct after the 2009 season. But over the past few years, another league returned…and while the season was cancelled in 2020, the now “Idaho Horsemen” are back for the 2021 season! The Horsemen went 13-0 and were the league champions in 2019. I have yet to make it to a Horsemen game, so I decided to jump in this year, and bought my season tickets! And if you’re wondering just how popular “arena” football is here, the two lower (best) sections at the Ford Idaho Center are sold out! I’m looking forward to being at each of the 6 home games starting May 8, and running through July 10 for the regular season. ~ Ron O’

I just ordered my copy on vinyl…

It’s gone down as one of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s greatest performances, the original lineup in front of an estimated crowd of between 150,000 and 200,000 at Knebworth Park in England…August 21, 1976. One of my favorite albums in my vinyl collection is “Gold & Platinum”, but I get the feeling this one is going to top that. I just ordered the 2 Lp set which comes with the DVD, and Lynyrd Skynyrd “Live at Knebworth” is now out on multiple formats, including Blu-Ray/DVD…and you can win the DVD all this coming week (April 12-16) during Name That Movie with Forrest around 4:30pm. I’m so looking forward to putting this on the turntable, and spending a evening watching the DVD! This video is the trailer of just some of what you can expect on this new release!

Talk about a clashing mash up!

No, we don’t play either of the artists that make up this “mash up”, but I thought it was pretty damn funny, and well done! And talk about a weird combo…Megadeth and The Jackson 5! Megadeth’s “Sweating Bullets” and The Jackson’s “Rockin’ Robin”…I had to laugh. ~ Ron O’

A tribute to EVH, and they do it SO very well!

Steel Panther recently released two videos as a tribute to Eddie Van Halen, and they absolutely are spot on! But then again they have no excuses for NOT nearly playing and singing these two note for note. You see, two of the band members, singer Michael Starr (Ralph Saenz) and guitarist Satchel (Russ Parrish) were once members of a tribute band called Atomic Punks…the title of a Van Halen tune from Van Halen’s debut album. WELL done glam rockers! ~ Ron O’

Possibly the greatest guitar jam!?

There have been numerous times when we’ve had some amazing all-star line ups for rock events…and while this might not be #1, it’s right up there! It’s THE one good thing about the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame…for the most part, the music usually is fantastic! This line-up is from 2009 when it was guitar heaven, and one of my favorite rock tunes in “Train Kept A Rollin”! How do you beat Metallica, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Ron Wood, Joe Perry, and Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers)! ~ Ron O’

All-time great commercials for the big game…

All-time great commercials for the big game…

Pretty much every year, there is at least one commercial in the Super Bowl that features classic rock music. This is one of my all-time favorites…in 2016, “Sheep Singing Queen”! And a talking dog to boot! I find it pretty damn funny…but then again, I’m easily entertained.

VanHalen

Two guitar greats we lost

Unless you’re a deep classic rock listener, or perhaps a guitar player, you may not know just how great Leslie West was. West was a founding member, guitarist and co-lead vocalist of Mountain (formed in 69′), who had their biggest success with “Mississippi Queen”. Leslie West just passed before Christmas at the age of 75, just two months after guitar legend Eddie Valen died (Oct 6). West, like many rock stars had some major issues with drug addiction…and at one point had given up guitar playing altogether. It was when Van Halen was opening for Journey, that Neal Schon told Leslie to come hear Eddie…as Neil put it, “this kid plays guitar like an organ…”. After seeing Eddie play at a show, West said he was impressed like he was when he’d seen Eric Clapton…and seeing Eddie, influenced Leslie West to pick up his guitar once again. West joined Van Halen (w/Sammy Hagar) on stage in August 1995 at the Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, N.Y., doing Mississippi Queen, as seen in the first video here. As recently as 2013 Leslie West joined Peter Frampton for the same tune, and shared a bit of their connection (LANGUAGE WARNING on this video). R.I.P. Leslie West and Eddie Van Halen. ~ Ron
