Italian prog masterworks 4- New Trolls "Searching for a land"

NEW TROLLS - SEARCHING FOR A LAND

NEW TROLLS are:

Vittorio De Scalzi- Guitars, flute, keyboards (Arp 2600) and vocals

Nico Di Palo- Guitars and lead vocals

Frank Laugelli- Bass guitar

Maurizio Salvi- Keyboards (Hammond), piano, synt

Gianni Belleno- Drums and percussions

This is a little "guinness record" album: it is the first italian double album, with first disc in studio and the second live (for much time people knows that this is the first live album of an italian band, but in reality the public rumors are not real but it's a studio effect, so this second disc is not really a live record). Even if this upload is from a cd version that encludes two albums, i prefer restore the original form of two discs, because they are very different: the first is one of better exemples of italian prog rock (Songs from 1 to 7) and the second is a great hard rock album, with hard Purple influences (Songs from 8 to 11).

This album was realised by label Fonit Cetra for the international market, so it is completely sung in English. So, this time, prog italian with lyrics that all can understand...

Even if all the album is very good, for me the best song is "A land to live, a land to die", with great keyboards and vocals work.

Link disc 1

Link disc 2

PS: As the other times, i have all discography of New Trolls and related (Ibis, NTAS, Tritons and others). If you like this and you would like to listen some other works by New Trolls, the only thing to make is to go to comments and write something about...

Enjoy

Virus- 1971- Revelation & Thoughts

Virus were a psychedelic band from Biefeld in northern Germany.

They released only twhose two albums: "Revelation" at beginning of 1971 and "Thoughts" later in same year. The first is more oriented to space rock and is quite inventive; the second presents a different approach, because is more oriented to hard rock- blues rock.

The only members present in all and two albums are Jorg-Dieter Krahe on keyboards and Wolfgang Rieke on drums

Some kraut rock, with a little Heep connection: those two albums are the other 1971 works of band "Virus", whose members were involved, with Ken Hensley, in the Hamburg sessions that end in the album "Weed".

PS: i have also the 1973 live album of Virus, Remember live, issued in 2004. If someone is interested in it, comment please...

Uriah Heep - Live In Turin 1980 (With John Sloman)

This bootleg comes from the Conquest Tour recorded live at Palasport,Turin, Italy

23. May 1980 with John Sloman on vocals

A decent enough audience recording I have also included two bonus tracks Namely Easy Livin' and Suicidal Man that were also recorded in 1980 at an unknown venue(unknown to me anyway perhaps someone out there in blog-land knows). These two tracks are of a much superior quality, I believe a live album was recorded by Heep with Sloman so perhaps  they have come from those recordings

Trever Bolder - Bass

Hensley/Lawton - Salisbury

Ok this is the Salisbury Video from the Hensley Lawton band recorded
on 12th May 2001 in the Markthalle in Hamburg although all I am offering here is the one track ie Salisbury

performed by Ken Hensley & John Lawton
with the
Easy Livin' Band + Orchestra
(conducted by. Renate Publig)

I have been after this particular video for some time as it features Mr John Lawton wearing a shirt that I now proudly own which he has signed and is now framed and hanging on my wall next to a Uriah Heep Legend Continues platinum disk

This is an excellent version of Salisbury (even if, in my opinion, the orchestra sound a bit dodgy at times)

Enjoy

If anyone is interested I will get round to posting the full VHS at some point
The concert was in 3 parts. Whilst Easy Livin' gave their all to (amongst others) "Time to Live", "Look at Yourself", "Sunrise" and "Easy Livin'", it's the orchestral second section, featuring "Salisbury" and "Circle of Hands" (featuring Helloween's Markus Grosskopf on bass) which impresses more. The video concludes with a set by the near-legendary Hensley-Lawton Band, celebrating such songs as "Easy Livin'", "The Hanging Tree", "I'm Alive" as well as "July Morning", "Wise Man", "Gypsy" and "Lady in Black".

On a personal note I believe I have mentioned in a past post that the Salisbury album was the first Heep album I listened to, and the title track in particular was my personal gateway into Heep music. I didn't think anyone could sing this song except for David Byron. How wrong was I. It is a testament to the vocal ability of John Lawton that he not only pulls it off but it was on my third listen that it dawned on me it wasn't Byron singing
