Video: The video has been upscaled to 1080p. The source was the KISSology version. I did a shot-by-shot adjustment to the entire show. Since this was taped in B&W, I decided to approach as if it had been lit for B&W, with a more even brightness on the entire band. In order to correct for this, I used layers and masking throughout the entire show in order to even out the lighting. In the original, Peter especially often appeared very dark (and also members not directly in the spotlight). I made my best effort to bring him and the other guys out more without simply brightening the entire shot. I also decided to go with a more high-contrast overall look rather than the washed-out grey seen on most of the original concert. It's always a tradeoff between keeping as much detail as possible while making it look good as a whole. This show is a fan favorite and was always one of the very best, IMO. basically, in this era KISS "was" black and white, so the look of this show combined with the powerful performances by all of the members, makes for a great presentation of the young, hungry band in their pre-superhero years. They were darker, more sinister and this show demonstrates what a really great and evenly matched rock and roll band they really were in the beginning. That early chemistry is on full display in this concert. As much as I'd love to see a full-color multi-cam HTH show, for this era B&W totally works.
I also did a bit of "creative" editing, mostly to remove all of the videotape/camera glitches seen throughout the concert. Many songs would be dark for the first several bars of the song, so I tried to use what I could to eliminate all of that black space. I also split shots to make the pacing (hopefully) more enjoyable. For instance, if the camera was on Gene for the entire 1st chorus and then only on Ace & Paul for the entire 2nd chorus, I would split and swap pieces to make it appear that the camera was switching back and forth.
AUDIO: The audio was created using isolated tracks from KISS Alive! along the actual Winterland concert. My attempt was to bring the sound of Alive! (but totally remixed) to the show while maintaining every aspect and nuance of the original performance. My goal was not to change or necessarily "improve" the playing, but rather to re-create it with much better quality.
Drums: Along with the original Alive! tracks, I replaced Peter's kick and snare drum with polyphonic samples I created from Pater's actual kit. I did not re-create Peter's performance note-for-note, but edited everything to match any time you can see him play something different (even when he drops a stick midway through Ace's solo in "NTL"). His entire solo in "100,000 Years" was done using his original Winterland drums combined with my samples to give it the same sound as the rest of the show.
Bass: All of Gene's parts come from Alive! with some added distortion to better match his live sound. I did use his Winterland bass for some things like in the blood-spitting bit before "100,000 Years" and the intro to "NTL" along with a few other bits.
Guitars: Most of the guitars come directly from Alive! with a few exceptions. Paul's guitar on "100,000 Years" comes from the "alternate" version which has better left/right separation than the album version. For Ace's solo's I kept him panned more to the right, replacing Paul's rhythm from other spots in the song. For Ace's guitar, is also comes from Alive! with the exception of any solos where he strays from the album version. For those songs, the solos are taken directly from the isolated Winterland track. His solo spot and the jam before it also come from the actual show.
Vocals: 99% of the vocals come directly from the Winterland show. The only exceptions are a few words here and there that do not come through clearly either due to the isolation software limitations or (mostly Paul) singing a bit off-mic. I also perfectly synced either the live album version or studio version of the vocals under the video and blend in only the high frequencies to bring good sibilance to the vocals to make them clearer. I corrected Gene's vocal flub in "Cold Gin" (sorry purists). I also blended a little bit of the Alive! vocals under the choruses of Parasite and Cold Gin because the audio wasn't very clear.
This concert cuts off mid-song during LMG,RnR, but there was enough to get all three verses with a bit of creative editing (since much of the parts repeat throughout the song). I used some of the middle jam for the credits and pieces together the ending just so we have a semi-cohesive full song.
As I always say, these shows are NOT for the purists. We will always have the originals for that. My goal is to make these shows as true to the original, but with much improved audio that is a realistic representation of the actual performance. These shows have taken many months and countless hours to assemble, so I do hope other KISS fans like myself enjoy them.
His unforgettable Rockpalast performance on November 4, 1976, catapulted Canadian multi-instrumentalist Pat Travers into Europe's spotlight. With Peter "Mars" Cowling on bass and a young Nicko McBrain on drums (later of Iron Maiden), his raw, dynamic energy captivated audiences. Despite shifting trends in the 1980s, Travers maintained his legendary status as an electrifying live act. Now available on DVD+2CD, this Rockpalast concert is a timeless document of rock history.

Lyrics
The rain falls hard on a humdrum town This town has dragged you down Oh, the rain falls hard on a humdrum town This town has dragged you down Oh, no, and everybody's got to live their life And God knows I've got to live mine God knows I've got to live mine William, William it was really nothing William, William it was really nothing It was your life... How can you stay with a fat girl who'll say: "Oh! Would you like to marry me? "And if you like you can buy the ring" She doesn't care about anything Would you like to marry me? And if you like you can buy the ring I don't dream about anyone - except myself! Oh, William, William it was really nothing William, William
Jackie Shane was a familiar name in the 1960s soul hub in Toronto, only to mysteriously disappear from music altogether in 1971. It wasn't until 2017 when the Numero Group producer Douglas McGowan convinced her to return and release a compilation box set album of her greatest hits, which earned her a Grammy and a resurgence in her fanbase. Today we will explore what made the underground soul singer so revolutionary.

The Style Council - It Didn't Matter promo from 1987
Mark Dobis's insight:
"It Didn't Matter" is a song by the English band The Style Council which was their fifteenth single to be released. The song was duetted by Weller and his then-wife Dee C. Lee.
"Right" is a song by the English musician David Bowie from his album Young Americans, released on 7 March 1975. The repetition of the main lyrics, the prominence of the percussion and bass, and the emphasis on the backing singers made "Right" one of the album's "authentically soulful" songs, according to professor of music Ian Chapman.

The album features vocals on each track, this time without vocoder processing. The album also includes an appearance by Carlos Santana on the opening track "Saturday Night";[1] this track was the first of many eventual collaborations with Santana, including the 1980 album The Swing of Delight. The track "Stars In Your Eyes" was issued as an extended 12" single.

The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.
Simone performed "Mississippi Goddam" on The Steve Allen Show on September 10, 1964. First Amendment scholar Ronald Collins felt that Steve Allen, the "famed host of a nationally syndicated TV variety program ... was one of the few who then dared to provide a forum for those with dissident views." Therefore, when Nina Simone "joined Allen at the desk before [the] song, he told her he wanted her to sing 'Mississippi Goddam' because he knew it would provoke a lively discussion about censorship."

Lyrics: I was half in mind, I was half in need And as the rain came down I dropped to my knees and I prayed I said, "Oh heavenly thing, please cleanse my soul I've seen all on offer and I'm not impressed at all"
I was halfway home, I was half insane And every shop window I looked in just looked the same I said, "Now send me a sign to save my life 'Cause at this moment in time there is nothing certain in These days of mine"
You see it's a frightening thing when it dawns upon you That I know as much as the day I was born And though I wasn't asked, I might as well stay And promise myself each and every day
That when you're knocked on your back and your life's a flop And when you're down on the bottom there's nothing else But to shout to the top Well we're gonna shout to the top We're gonna shout to the top We're gonna shout to the top Hey, we're gonna shout to the top

Soulful and bursting at the seams with energy, the Style Council’s infectious call-to-arms hit single (UK #7) was a non-album track in 1984, later included in Our Favourite Shop expanded edition, it has a clear Curtis Mayfield influence, an addictive driving string section, and is a clinic in effortless-cool music.

Shot entirely in one take, Nobody Knows (Ladas Road) employs infrared to mirror the themes present in the track, in particular, feelings of alienation. Visually speaking, this meant subverting how audiences typically might see the musician. “Infrared interested us as it sort of tonally turns everything on its head,” Uncanny recalls. “We liked the idea of illuminating Loyle with this invisible force that’s not concerned with conforming to our expectations of what ‘lightness’ or ‘darkness’ is. It renders skin, landscapes and especially foliage in this surreal indescribable way making the world look almost alien.”

I love the way it flows, I love the way it grows There’s something in this sound that takes me far It’s like a special song, can move my mood along But I cannot say your here through my guitar
She told me add the bassline, and everything will be alright She told me that the groove is mine, it will take us through the night And where I’ll go, can’t explain I’ll never know But it’s beautiful
CHORUS:
You can’t take this away from me, the way I hear the melody The waves bring clarity, running through me You can’t take this away from me, the way I hear the melody The waves bring clarity, running through me
I love the way it sings, all the joy that it brings Remember skating down the road towards the park I can never say no, you with that summer glow The music gives me sun when winter starts
She told me add the bassline, and everything will be alright She told me that the beat is mine, it will rock us through the night And where I’ll go, can’t explain I’ll never know But it’s beautiful
CHORUS X 2
DE LA SOUL:
Yo, I wear notes like coats, blues like do’s Warmth and the rhythm, soul that glues The bounce in my bones, the jazz in my spine The hop is my home, rap is my grind
I’m grinding on the back side of life, we dance She threw me a chance, her hands in my pants Actually my pockets, holding me tight Whispering a dream I could hold in the night
Blood tight, a rhythm that’s throbbing my vein Wake up and write it on the pad, the pains Like church the organ will invite my tears Like birth, the crying let you know I’m here
Held by the song that gave me a name Dressed by the verse that gave me a claim It’s just bass in the line, safe to inhale And if you live well…
Belong for years in this day you will be A time is octave to play for the tree Is rooted in every single nerve in me The nerve of he, with noise the key
In music that opens the mind to be free Whenever you’re hot headed ?? you a breeze Beneath the clouds you allowed to see in clarity through harmony Someone harming me – that won’t be done I stand protected by the laws of fun And am perfected through the rhymes of run Walk it this way and leave the party stunned This music, it launched me With no aim, I’ve landed On some plain Where I am I can’t explain, I never know but it’s beautiful so
CHORUS
