- Saturday I went to the WFMU Record Fair. Since most everyone was looking for vinyl, I was able to find incredible CD Boxsets, Imports and Bootlegs for next to nothing. I also found great deals on magazines and I found some very rare Rolling Stones memorabilia this weekend. Enjoy this fantastic haul in this golden age of buying used CD's.
I was at the 1981 Carrier Dome show (1st night, November 27th, 2nd show the following night November 28th which I did not attend). I had seen them in Buffalo in September, 1981 (Rich Stadium), but the Carrier Dome show was the best. I have seen the Stones 15 times since 1975, and the 1981 Carrier Dome show ranks at the top, fantastic show. I had gone with a friend who was not a fan of the Rolling Stones. After the show, he said it was the best show he'd ever seen, and repeated this everywhere in our entourage and became an instant convert after that night in Syracuse. I have a few of those programs you showed, given away at the door that night. Thanks, Alan, for bringing back great memories of an unforgettable Stones show.
Thanks so much for your fantastic personal story. Love it. Thanks also for the info on the Carrier Dome hand out program. That’s so awesome they handed them out for free. I’ve never heard of that. I saw the 1981 tour three times and never saw something like that. Very cool. Thanks again.
My favorite part of your huge haul is the publications. The NME poll-winners all-star concert program is an extraordinary addition to your already impressive collection of rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia. The Stones 1981 Syracuse program is a great reminder of what was an awesome tour. I’m a sucker for the kind of hefty, book-like magazines you picked up. On the audio end of things, I especially like the Simon and Garfunkel and the Springsteen bootlegs. The Ian Hunter LP ranks among my most favorite album titles. Melanie’s “Cyclone” is indeed an awesome song. In regard to bringing home so many CDs, just tell your 12-step program group that “the price was right.”
Thanks as always. Yea. I think my 12 step program Will understand when they see what I got and what I passed up. Now my wife. That’s another story. Lol.
The programs from NME’64 and The Stones ‘81 gig are great. The NME gig is available on bootleg dvd in great quality and those events were a lot of fun . I love the Stones 1981 tour. I went to the first show in Philly on Sept.25. Many of those concerts are available in awesome quality on boot CDs . It’s great when boots let you relive an amazing performance. Love the channel.
Thanks so much. I loved the 81 Tour as well - one of the best shows ever was seeing Tina Turner open for them in NJ and then joining them on stage. The opening Philly gig had some songs they never played again on that tour - very cool.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShowthey -payed three shows in November of that week. Tina sang with them on Honky Tonk Woman all three nights. The shows are all on bootleg in stereo soundboard and sound awesome. I’m sure you have the show you saw in your archive.
@@finch45lear yes. I saw two at MSG and one NJ with Tina. Fantastic
That NME programme is a good find. I remember watching these shows on TV when I was 8 or 9. Great shows - the Stones were the best! Checking online I see that programme sold, in a Beatles related auction, for $628 in 2019. Not bad!
Wow - thanks for that info - that's interesting. Not that I'm planning on selling it - but wow - that's a good find. Unfortunately, after I pass away, it'll probably wind up at a flea market with all my other stuff for 5 bucks..lol
wow 😮 Alan you got great CD's the books I like everything you bought and great prices the rolling stones books I have a lot I never seem that Poll winners before only on your show channel I am fan of CD's I like them better than vinyl I am gonna check Google and see if Erie pa got some like that again thank you Alan.
Thanks so much. Good luck. There are record shows around the country. Hopefully there’s a good one near you.
How could you not get tempted by that stuff! Some amazing box sets, they're irresistible (at those prices). Nice to see you pick up one from Cilla, she did some great songs. Some people have a problem with Peter Hammill's voice but I don't.
I'm gonna give it another shot. Was well over 10 years ago when I got beautiful reissues of two VDG CD's - Pawn Hearts and H I believe they were. They were tough listens for sure and I dumped them after one listen. Time to give them another shot....well...when I get to them...lol.
Hi 👋 Alan I remember buying the British publication NME magazines back in the 1970s / 80s. My mother liked Rick Nelson, she loved his song Hello Mary Lou, and i have a cd of his music. I like the song Garden Party which was a big hit for him in 1972. I like REM and i had their debut album Murmur in 1983 on vinyl. That Automatic for the People was a huge seller. Good finds and prices.
thanks Carl- Yea Garden Party is an incredible song - a true story of a performance he did there with other '50's stars and he got booed for trying to play new stuff.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Yes that's right. John Lennon and Yoko are mentioned in the lyrics of Garden Party.
Yep - classic song. @@carltwidle9046
20 bucks for that Bob Dylan is just… wow! Amazing! 2 for the REM?!? To quote Blossom’s Joey… Whoa!
Great haul video Alan 😊
Thanks my friend! Blossom's Joey....lol
I’ve Been Looking For That Ricky Nelson Box Set Forever. Lol. I’m jealous. I Love Rick Nelson’s Music.
It's only the 2nd time I've ever seen it. I saw it at a record store last year but was pretty expensive. I really lucked out this time. Thanks.
How I miss these. Found great boots. Yes live 1976 with moraz touring on their hits. I also got back issues of creem cheap
That's a classic Yes bootleg - I know the one you're talking about. Relayer tour. Used to see that one a lot. I love those Creem and Circus magazines. I have an immense collection of the 1970's (and more) Creem and Circus magazines, as well as Hit Parader and others. Love them.
Alan you sure get some neat stuff & cheap. I get my boots from traders. I went to Stones Syracuse show in 81, that weekend saw the boys 3 times. The other two are Buffalo & Detroit. I saw one guy selling bootleg shirts he had made. Cool shirts, every color you can think of. He had 15 different ones outside Detroit stadium. You must be running out of room to store. Good luck on that.
I recently dumped a bunch of stuff from the backlog, but now more than re-filled it up. yea, running out of room and certainly not enough time to listen to it all. Not surprisingly, I'm a fan of the bootleg T-Shirts - oftentimes better than the official shirts at a fraction of the cost. In fact, the Stevie Nicks / Pretenders shirt I'm wearing in this video was a bootleg shirt I bought outside the venue. lol
Hi Alan - nice haul there. Love all of those bands, but good to see you have a Leo Kottke 2CD anthology. I am a big fan of Leo's - have a lot of his albums and CD's, he's a great guitarist, if you like that kind of thing. Had two amazing finds this past month. Happened to be in a antique / secondhand / junk shop and picked up The Beatles Revolver and Abbey Road Super Deluxe 6 CD box sets in mint condition for $98 AUD each - what a find. As you say you have to be in the right spot at the right time lolol. It does happen sometimes. Like the time I was in our local Salvos and picked up the Beatles Stereo Box Set for $60 AUD - what can you say ?? Amazing. Happy hunting Doug
Thanks so much Doug - looking forward to hearing the Kotke collection. I know none of his music - so it'll be a brand new experience and I'm looking forward to it. Congratulations on your amazing finds - wow - better than I've ever found - but as you said they're out there. Just luck being in the right place at the right time. For me, the most fun part, is just being out there looking - great hobby for sure. Congrats again.
Your making me sick with these deals Alan lol.Great haul my friend.I just found a good price for the box set Fragments by Dylan not as good a price as you get but not bad
Thanks - that's awesome - that Fragments box looks really good - Love that Time Out Of Mind stuff - was a great period. I know that box is like 140 bucks. Congrats on a good deal for it.
That NME programme goes for £138-£400+ UK pounds in UK. That was my birth year 1964 October or my parents would have gone. My dad's friend went and I have his programme but mine isn't as good as yours. Great pick ups. My latest haul cd's on the rock candy label Vixen,Foghat,Nightranger. Of course I own them already but rock candy does such a great re issue.
Thanks, as always for your expertise Mark. Nice pickups. Rock Candy really does a fantastic job and also love their booklets - top shelf reissues. I recently saw a bunch of Foghat reissues, two albums per reissue with great booklets, but didn't pick them up due to my backlog and trying to limit purchases (which is not really working).
The Rick Nelson box is a gem..especially CD 3 and 4. Enjoy!
Thanks. Its a beautiful looking box with a ton on it. Looking forward to it.
yep some scores there for the price that i’d sell on ebay haha.. the cd on razor & tye has by far the best sound than any other release.. always keep those versions..
hopefully the record shows here are better than in the past..
Thanks Nick - interesting about the sound on the Razor & Tye. I haven't listened to the vinyl in probably a decade. The CD sounds really good. I've never seen in person the other reissue - I remember seeing it online a long time ago - had a bonus disc. I remember when Razor & Tye first came out. Was interesting reissues. Thanks as always.
I went to that show with the bumper sticker. That's KSHE 95 St. Louis at the Checkerdome
Thanks - that's so interesting because the program and ticket stuff is from Carrier Dome in Syracuse. But yes that it the bumpersticker all right.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShowI wish u whould get into The Dave Clark 5 there cds are hard to find there better then The Who The Kinks or The Beatles my favorite bands are The Rolling Stones and The Dave Clark 5
@@TheAlanRosenbergShowI brought a lot of Dave Clark 5 cds on eBay when the time was right but there hard to get there always out of print Dave Clark refuses to reissue there back catalog u can buy the stones the Beatles the who the kinks anywhere but it’s hard to find dc5 cds or records
Nice - impossible to find that DC5 stuff - I have the History 2 CD collection and a bootleg collection - that's it. I don't think I've ever even seen a real DC 5 CD beyond the History release. @@mikebarooshian7255
I remember well you loving the DC5 - I think the HIstory 2cd collection is really good and I was surprised almost how many really good songs there were but certainly the quality dipped big time on the 2nd Cd to me anyway. As much as I liked them, weren't in the same league as The Beatles, Stones, Who and Kinks for me. But hey, they're in the Hall of Fame which is awesome. @@mikebarooshian7255
Saw that show in 81 at the Carrier Dome going to college at Syracuse.And Genesis two weeks later at the same venue, hard to beat.
That's awesome - I know the carrier dome was (is?) huge - like what 70,000 people or something crazy. Cool having Molly Hatchet open up - that's killer.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow 50 thousand people also Henry Paul Band performed, they were very good.
LOVE Henry Paul Band - Grey Ghost is an all time favorite album of mine. Love the Outlaws as well. Funny line up - Henry Paul, Molly Hatchet and The Stones. Southern rock fest and the Stones. Interesting. Thanks for the inside info. Very cool. @@christopherschlacter4953
Those prices you paid just proves that CD prices are really down when vinyl prices are rising CDS may be the way to go as vinyl prices continue to rise outrageously
It's been this way for a few years. The deals out there (if you're lucky) on used CD's are ridiculous - they're giving them away. New CD's are still fairly expensive though much cheaper than vinyl of course.
cool pickups dude. i think that quote is from Godfather 3. I think you said Part 1. You’re
out of the Godfather Fan Club. They still haven’t pulled me back in. Haven’t bought anything since Denver trip a month ago.
I didn't realize that - Godfather 3 - damn - that is a great line. Ok - then that movie just moved in in ratings for me, for that line alone. With all your new purchase videos, I thought you were buying like crazy....eh...your better off. I'll never get to half this stuff...lol
Cool haul .... great picks with Graham Parker, Leo Kottke, Ian Hunter (great album) .... Melanie set looks interesting .... Cilla Black went on to become a HUGE tv celebrity in UK .... her singing was ok ... Van Der Graaf is tough to enjoy (gave up) ... except for a superb track "Theme One" which every single rock fan in UK got to know (and love) 'cause in the late '70's was the link song meaning that legendary BBC Radio 1 Friday Night Rock Show hostTommy Vance was about to do the Friday Night Connection Quiz where a listener got 3 songs (with a connection you had to guess) played ... the winner wiuld then chose the songs and pose the connection for the following week .... it was a great way to learn about linkages beween bands, artists, producers, writers ... etc etc .. real geeky rock trivia ... thereafter, you usually got an uninterrupted live set or BBC session on the show... legions of UK listeners then pressed "Record" on '000s of cassette recorders across the UK (me included) .... rest of VDGG / Peter Hammill I leave to the enthusiasts ....(which includes the likes of Fish from Marillion) ... CMcG, Aberdeen, Scotland
@@calummcgregor3662 thanks so much for that amazing history. Love hearing things like that. New to me since I’m across the pond. Actually looking forward to checking out the Cilla Black. Fairly low expectations but you never know. Best Alan
I WISH I WAS IN THAT RECORD FAIR,IN MY AREA NOT A CHANCE OF THAT HAPPENS,ONLY SMALL VENUES
Yea - sorry - I'm lucky being in the Long Island New York area - lots of opportunity to find this stuff. Thanks so much.
