I'm not usually a huge fan of live albums, but i'm thinking i'll make an exception & get this:
RIOT : The Official Bootleg Box Set Volume 1 (1976-1980)
Six Disc Set culled from Mark Reale's Own Archives
To Be Released September 29, 2017 on Hear No Evil/Cherry Red
Riot’s story is one of what might have been, and to some degree, a band being (or not) in the right place at the right time.
What this 6 CD live collection does offer is unique, and often raw, insights into the growth and development of an influential hard rock and heavy metal band, as they graduated from small clubs in 1976 through to huge festivals in 1980.
Mastered from tapes in the collection of the estate of founder member and guitarist Mark Reale, “The Official Bootleg Box Set Volume 1” captures the band at their formative, early club stages in 1976, where much of their repertoire included songs by the bands that had influenced them, such as their covers on Montrose’s ‘I Got the Fire’, ‘Good Rockin’ Tonight’ and ‘Rock Candy’, to UFO’s ‘Shoot Shoot’ and Deep Purple’s ‘Highway Star’, included amongst Riot originals, ‘Angel’, ‘Overdrive’ and ‘Tokyo Rose’.
