Over the next few days I’ll be wading through the Empire Strikes Back Tarantura CD box set to recall the night the Wembley Empire Pool was, as the Melody Maker headline ran …

On the spot Report by Hiroshi:
The day after I saw Bob Dylan’s scintillating and inspiring performance as ever in Edinburgh on his Rough And Rowdy Ways World Wide Tour, I took a train to Stockton-on-Tees, another rather obscure destination that is a typical choice of Saving Grace’s tour stops.

On the 54rd anniversary of the release of Led Zeppelin III, here’s my thoughts on the original album and the 2014 reissue:

The waiting began in early 1970 and would last a period of ten months.
This anticipation was played out via the pages of the NME music paper as that was my prime source of …
