Ian Hunter Band Feat. Mick Ronson Live At Rockpalast (2012)

Brian Auger and the Trinity was a British band led by keyboardist Brian Auger. His duet with Julie Driscoll, the Bob Dylan/Rick Danko–penned "This Wheel's on Fire", was a number 5 hit on the 1968 UK Singles Chart.

It was the idea of Peter Bursch, the guitar teacher of the nation and bandleader of the Krautrock legend Bröselmaschine, 20 years after the death of Jimi Hendrix to put together an illustrious crowd of hip musicians and to organize a Rockpalast tribute concert in 1991. Rockpalast mastermind Peter Rüchel and director Christian Wagner were quick to get enthusiastic about this idea. Through his personal contacts Peter was able to find some really competent musicians who were willing to deal with this idea. So an All Star Band was formed from very different exceptional musicians like Uli Jon Roth (Scorpions), who also took over the musical direction of this project, Jack Bruce (Cream, West, Bruce and Laing), John Wetton (King Crimson, Roxy Music, Uriah Heep, UK, Asia etc.), Simon Phillips (The Who, Toto, Asia etc.), Randy Hansen and many others.

While most of their contemporaries in London were into the ideals of love & peace in the late sixties, the Edgar Broughton Band anticipated the virago of punk rock. Rob Edgar Broughton offered the following as a reason for their latest comeback. We always were a political and socially aware band, and in many ways the world today is similar to the world back in the sixties. The time has come to stand up and do it again. Well put. 40 years after it's formation, The Edgar Broughton Band features the original line up plus a new generation of Broughton with the addition of Edgar's son Luke. The music still has the hard, rebel edge it always had and Out Demons Out is as relevant today as it was in 1969 as you can hear on this concert recorded by the Rockpalast at the Crossroads Festival March 24nd, 2006 in Bonn, Germany.

The story of Canned Heat is the story of imperishable music, of hit singles and albums that captured the spirit of the times, and of glorious performances at epochal events like the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival and the 1969 Woodstock Festival, as well as legendary venues like the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco…

The story of Canned Heat is one of imperishable music, of zeitgeist-capturing hit singles and albums and of glorious performances at epochal events like the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival and the 1969 Woodstock Festival and at legendary venues like San Francisco's Fillmore Auditorium. And most of all, perhaps, the story of Canned Heat is one of triumphant perseverance for through all their successes and disasters the band have retained their musical integrity and commitment to playing the blues and they remain admired and active to the present day. By the time of the band's 1998 Rockpalast gig Fito de la Parra and Larry Taylor, who had formerly played bass but was now on guitar, had been joined by singer-slide guitarist Robert Lucas and bassist Greg Kage. "On The Road Again" on which de la Parra attempts to replicate Wilson"s extraordinary, spooky vocals while the band recreate something of the mesmerizing magic of the hit record. de la Parra also channels his inner Alan Wilson on "Going Up The Country".
