Fan-filmed video footage of BLACK SABBATH’s September 24th performance at Ozzfest Meets Knotfest at San Manuel Amphitheater and Festival Grounds in San Bernardino, California .

This is the second, and final, leg of the band’s “The End” farewell tour. They played across the country earlier this year.

BLACK SABBATH has announced that it will play its last show ever in the U.S. on November 12th at AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas. The gig will take place nearly five years to the day that the legendary act announced their reunion. The group has also added two more headlining shows to its North American trek, on November 8th at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma and November 10th at Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. These dates come at the end of the band’s North American tour, which kicked off on August 17th in Wantagh, New York.

Black Sabbath will bring its storied career to a close in the band’s native England, with seven shows booked there in January and February. The last two, on February 2nd and February 4th, will take place in Sabbath’s hometown of Birmingham and will likely be their final shows.

The original lineup of Sabbath came together in 1969 with Ozzy Osbourne on vocals, Tony Iommi on guitar, Butler on bass and Bill Ward on drums. That lineup recorded and toured through 1978, and periodically reformed through the ’90s and 2000s for live work.

They regrouped again in late 2011 for a new album and tour, although Ward dropped out after just a few months. The remaining trio issued the “13” album in 2013 and backed it with a successful world tour — despite Iommi being treated for lymphoma since 2012.

On Sunday at the inaugural Outlaw Music Festival held at Montage Mountain in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The lineup featured Lee Ann Womack, Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, Neil Young & Promise Of The Real and more. Sunday was Neil & POTR’s sixth U.S. performance this year as they spent the summer tearing up Europe. Young and his young backing band delivered an impressive 95-minute performance in Scranton and audio of the entire set has surfaced.

Neil started his set with a handful of solo classics including “Heart Of Gold,” “Out On The Weekend” and “Harvest Moon.” Promise Of The Real emerged to back Neil Young on the back half of the set. The biggest surprise was the return of “Welfare Mothers” off the Neil Young & Crazy Horse album Rust Never Sleeps. Young had never performed the song with Promise Of The Real in the past and Sunday’s version marked the first in the U.S. since 2003 as he did play “Welfare Mothers” with Crazy Horse in Australia and Belgium during their 2013 tour together.

Young & POTR ended their performance with a run of beloved gems from Neil’s songbook starting with “Cowgirl In The Sand.” Next up was “Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere,” before the band showed off their improvisational prowess on a 15-minute “Cortez The Killer.” The group brought their Outlaw set to a close with “Fuckin’ Up” and “Rockin’ In The Free World.” On September 30th, Neil Young & Promise Of The Real will play their first of two shows at Town Park in Telluride.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers perform a cover of the Animals classic track “Don’t Bring Me Down” at Farm Aid in Champaign, Illinois on September 22, 1985.

A performance from the first Farm Aid benefit concert. Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp founded Farm Aid and serve on the board of directors. The three agreed that family farmers were in dire need of assistance and decided to plan a concert for America. The show was put together in six weeks and was held on September 22nd, 1985 in Champaign, Illinois before a crowd of 80,000 people. It raised over $9 million for America’s family farmers. Performers included Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, B.B. King, Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and many more. It would have been very difficult for  Bob Dylan to decline an invitation to perform at the inaugural Farm Aid concert in Champagne, Illinois on September 22nd, 1985. The entire event was inspired by his onstage comments at Live Aid earlier that year: “I hope that some of the money . . . maybe they can just take a little bit of it, maybe . . . one or two million, maybe . . . and use it it, say to pay the mortgages on some of the farms.”

it inspired Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Willie Nelson to come together and form Farm Aid. In just two months they assembled an incredible lineup that included the Beach Boys, Johnny Cash, John Fogerty, Billy Joel, Randy Newman, Carole King, Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison, Eddie Van Halen with Sammy Hagar and many others.

Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid’s Board of Directors in 2001 to help further Farm Aid’s mission of keeping family farmers on their land.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers perform “Straight Into Darkness” at Farm Aid in Champaign, Illinois on September 22nd, 1985. Bob Dylan had been off the road for four years at this point. He didn’t have a backing band, so Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers agreed to take on the task. Their six-song set was heavy on material from Dylan’s new albums, But here we feature the track without Dylan who joined the band later in the set. Just a few months later, Dylan and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers kicked off a triumphant world tour.

Previously unreleased 1976 Radio broadcast. Broadcast live in early 1976 from L.A.’s legendary Roxy Theatre by that city’s KMET FM Radio, this dynamic set captures the former Velvet Underground front-man, Lou Reed, working through an eight song selection of some of his finest work he had released up to that juncture. Featuring a sublime ‘I’m Waiting For The Man’ dating back to the first VU album, ‘Lisa Says’, a song written at a similar time and indeed demoed by the Velvets but not released until it’s inclusion on Lou’s first, eponymous solo LP in 1972, and two cuts apiece from October ’75’s ‘Coney Island Baby’ (‘Kicks’ and the title track) and his then yet to be released ‘Rock and Roll Heart’ (I Believe In Love and You Wear It So Well) – a record not issued until October ’76. He was never going to get out alive however without performing …‘Wild Side’, thus a 10 minute rendition of this classic tune provides the penultimate number of this energetic performance.

Our Vinyl session in Nashville, TN

July 8th, 2016 introduced by Bob Boilen At first it was simply the voice that shook me. A band discovered in Austin, Texas, during SXSW,  Sean Moeller of Daytrotter told me he was recording a new favorite band and I should listen to this new band . The house/makeshift studio on Austin’s East Side was saturated with the alluring voice of Natalie Carol and her solid yet rattling Neil Young-ish band. That was my introduction to Valley Queen, and since then they have shaken the walls at a few venues around the country, one of which was here at this NPR Tiny Desk Concert. When this band, which has only put out a few singles on Bandcamp so far, came to the Tiny Desk, its members played like veterans. Valley Queen’s music is rich with nuance and depth, rooted deep in California country. They are working toward that debut record, and three songs they played at the Tiny Desk were unreleased. Here is an early glimpse of some growing talent.

Ryan Adams is well on his way to becoming a Newport Folk regular. For his 2016 set, Adams brought along some special guests: the modern bluegrass band The Infamous Stringdusters and their frequent collaborator, singer-songwriter Nicki Bluhm.  The seven musicians arranged themselves in a semicircle on stage, lending the performance the intimacy and jollity of a family jam session.

The group’s hand-spun, Appalachian-tinged renditions of Adams‘ songs — plus a couple metal covers — were punctuated by his goofy stage banter, which contributed to that overall sense of bonhomie. Adams affably chided the other players for setting audience expectations too high and paused mid-strum during “New York, New York” to shout merrily at the two military-looking choppers that were thrumming away over the harbor.

He even improvised an entire song, which we’ll go ahead and title “Frightened And Rabid,” based on a phrase he thought he’d heard yelled from the crowd. As Adams invented silly lyrics about hydrophobia off the top of his head, Bluhm and the Stringdusters looked as visibly amused as the Newport audience.

  • “South Of Heaven” (Slayer cover)
  • “To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High)”

When Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band began their tour in support of “Born to Run” on July 20th, 1975, at the Palace Concert Theatre in Providence, R.I., the album that would break his career had not yet been released. In fact, it had only been completed that morning.

Needing to deliver the record before hitting the road, the band entered New York’s Record Plant for a final mixing session the previous afternoon. They emerged at 10AM — 19 hours later — with the van waiting to take them to Providence, 180 miles northeast. At some point during the night, they set up in the studio’s rehearsal room and ran through the songs they’d perform. The first show of the Born To Run tour, the band worked on the Born To Run record right up to this first day of the tour, they practiced all day starting at 6 am, packed up the van with the equipment, Clarence finished his ‘Jungleland’ solo, jumped in the van and off they went and played this show.

The E Street Band had a much different look from the last time they had hit the city in April 1974. Pianist David Sancious and drummer Ernest “Boom” Carter had left in August to form a jazz fusion group called Tone and were replaced by Roy Bittan and Max Weinberg, respectively.

A second guitarist was also making his debut as a member of the group Steve Van Zandt, who had played with Springsteen in earlier bands, had provided invaluable assistance during the recording of “Born to Run”, notably the horn charts in “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out” and the title track’s guitar lick. This line-up would remain intact until Van Zandt’s departure during the sessions for 1984’s “Born In The USA.

The 15-song show, which kicked off the tour, ran nearly two hours. It included only three songs from the new record: “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out,” “Born to Run” and “Thunder Road.” All but one song from the previous album, The Wild the Innocent and the E.Street Shuffle,  was performed, with the rest of the concert was split between Greetings From Asbury Park N.J. material, “A Love So Fine” (which wouldn’t be released until 1998’s Tracks under the name “So Young and In Love”) and covers of Manfred Mann’s “Sha La La” and Gary “U.S.” Bonds’ “Quarter to Three.” . This tour was markedly different from the one he did with Suki only weeks earlier. He was much more animated and seemed to be having more fun. Steven added so much musically, while Clarence Clemons became an increasing visual focus. Furthermore the very real strain of recording “Born To Run” had been put to rest for Bruce and the rest of the band.

Springsteen and the E Street Band remained on the road for five months, with several of the dates turning out to be among the most important of his career, including the early show from New York’s Bottom Line on Aug. 15th, 1975, which was broadcast live on a local radio station, helped build steam for the album leading up to its release.

recorded for Sveriges Radio in Sweden,  from a concert given at Radiohuset in Stockholm on December 12th, 1970.

Free were one of the great groups to come out of the late 60s and early 1970s. And even though they were together for a relatively short period of time, left an indelible mark on music. A live sets from Free’s prime are featured on this bootleg, from a concert in Stockholm on December 12th, 1970. The sound quality is good enough to make one wonder whether this was recorded with an eye for official release, and the performances are solid, drawing from an assortment of songs on their first four albums. Unfortunately it doesn’t have much of their quieter, more subtle material, though the cocky strutting blues-rock side is well represented.  There’s no real reason why this shouldn’t be issued officially,
