Charlie Burton & Rock Therapy - "Rock & Roll Behavior"

Hailing from Lincoln, Nebraska with one of the best live-in-a-bar shows you've probably never seen, this was the first (and best) single from Charlie Burton and Rock Therapy.  Charlie's shows were legendary in the Lincoln/Omaha area from the late 1970's into the 1990's.  Released in 1977, this is the 7" version of the tune, featuring Butch Berman on guitar.  "Rock & Roll Behavior" was subsequently re-recorded for the "...Or What?" album, which replaced Berman with Phil Shoemaker.  Enjoy.

The Monkees - One of the final shows as a quartet. "Last Train To Clarksville" from Manchester in 1997

The quartet would not survive the trip back to America. Nesmith left after the short UK tour, leaving the trio to perform for the US leg of the tour. The Monkees would never perform as a quartet again.


Monkees (Nesmith, Dolenz, Jones) - "Nine Times Blue" on the Johnny Cash Show in 1969

One of the few live television  appearances by the trio. "Nine Times Blue" was originally slated to be released on an unnamed double Monkees album featuring a side of music from each Monkee, including Peter Tork, individually. When Tork left the band, that project was scrapped and "Nine Times Blue" remained unreleased.

The Move - Rare pre-"Shazam"

At this point The Move was a quartet consisting of Roy Wood, Carl Wayne, Bev Bevan and bassist Trevor Burton, who would soon be replaced by Rick Price for the SHAZAM! album.
