Was thinking about NE bands in late 70s yesterday, Dire Straits? Police (Sting)? Any others?

Starting the morning with some Sting from 1988 and the classic album The Dream of the Blue Turtles. This is the Original Master Recording pressing which is very crisp with deep rumbling bass. Featuring Branford Marsalis on Soprano and Tenor saxophone clarinet and percussion plus an appearance by Eddy Grant on congas ! Mastered by the legendary Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk NY.

Next up a great live album from the sadly missed British rocker Gary Moore, this album leaves you in no doubt about Moore's awesome ability on the guitar, Moore was heavily associated with Peter Green's famed 1959 Gibson Les Paul guitar which was sold to him by Peter Green for around £100. The guitar, nicknamed "Greeny", is known for its unusual tone, the result of a reversed neck pickup. Moore used the guitar for most of his career (most notably on "Parisienne Walkways"), until he sold it in 2006 for somewhere between $750,000 and $1.2 million !
Rockin' Every Night - Live in Japan recorded in 1983 on the Corridors of Power tour but not released in Europe until 1986. A favourite track is a great cover of Free's Wishing Well.
The venue was the Shinjuku Kousei Nenkin Hall, Tokyo and Gary is accompanied by a list of legends:
John Sloman – lead vocals on tracks 1, 3, 4 and 6, backing vocals and keyboards.
Don Airey – keyboards
Neil Murray – bass
Ian Paice – drums, percussion

Trying to compete with such British glam rock outfits as Slade and Sweet (Geordie supported the former on a UK tour, as well as the latter at a concert at the Rainbow Club, London in March 1973), they achieved UK Top 10 status with "All Because of You" (April 1973) and had a UK Top 20 hit with "Can You Do It" (July 1973). They also had several appearances on BBC Television including 15 appearances on Top of the Pops, one of which was in November 1972.
Of course Brian Johnson is more well known as the front man of AC[emoji298]DC !
