LDB Special Series #447

Out of my 17,000+ shows and radio broadcasts, I have many concerts that were special for some reasons: the setlist, the
musicians, the venue or unexpected events. These are the ones I'd like to propose you. Most of these come from my
cassettes collection, so they will be released at a slower pace than my Master Series! But you won't be disappointed!
I will try to gather the most unusual things I have in my collection and, as always, your feedback and comments will be my
reward for all the work involved in this project.

DO NOT share this music on mp3, just convert it for your own use. Sharing mp3's is the right way to make me stop sharing
music here.

That was a cd I traded a long time ago with incomplete setlist and uncertain infos. The right opportunity to fix it a bit,
building the right setlist and infos. This is the debut album demos or, should I say better - the first demos that the band
put together when they formed. Infact almost none of the tracks here ended up in the only album that the band released.

Also, from the different recording quality and maturity of the tracks you can assume that they come from different recording
sessions.

If you like GTR, you will probably enjoy these demos as well, although it is clear that the music is a bit dispersed and lacks
one particular direction being an early effort. The debut album has much more unique style.

After Hackett left the band (which was highly in debts), Steve Howe tried to carry on featuring Robert Berry on vocals. These are
demos from the aborted second album called Nerotrend. I used to have them but cannot locate the tape anymore. If somebody has
them and is willing to upload them, they will do a nice companion of these Masquerade demos...
