How do you remaster a bootleg??

Anyway.....

BON JOVI recording "Rockin' In Cleveland, 1984" (The Legendary Ohio Broadcast) has just been re-released in a "HD Remastered Edition". Already considered an 'official bootleg', the album even has been released some years ago on vinyl LP.

It may look incoherent: a bootleg... remastered?

But let me tell you this is true. The original recording was done very, very well, and now it has been improved, cleaned & polished, and it sounds excellent.

The show was recorded at the Agora Ballroom in Cleveland on 17th March 1984 and broadcast by WMMS FM, and it's a real gem because showcases BON JOVI at their very origins.

It takes place a couple of months after their debut album "Bon Jovi" was released.

"Rockin' In Cleveland, 1984" is loaded with atmosphere and youthful energy as Jon and his boys played most of the tracks from their self-entitled 1983 debut album, which contained raw and excitedly dynamic rock songs, a fair few miles away from the much more 'safe' material that they dish out today.

Jon's voice is so young sounding on this early recording and it sends you on a hard rocking, guitar busting emotional ride through classics such as 'Runaway', 'Shot Through the Heart' or 'She Don't Know Me', which sound even better in these live versions, and it's great to hear lesser-known numbers like 'Come Back' and 'Take You Higher', the latter of which was not originally released on the studio album.

They don't play many of these early songs live on the stage today, which makes this release even more a novelty.

The song that stood out for me is the aforementioned 'She Don't Know Me' which hasn't been played since 1987. They are reluctant to play it again because they didn't write it. I think the album version was great but this live version is 10 times better and the song takes you on a roller coaster of emotion.

"Rockin' In Cleveland, 1984 [HD Remastered Edition]" is a must have for the ultimate BON JOVI collector, well for everyone who loves classic '80s melodic hard rock.

It shows you how tight and brilliant they were since the beginning, and why this band ruled in this genre all over the decade.

If you have the previous release of this album, do yourself a favor and replace it with this Remastered Edition, it sounds million bucks.

Following the success of their 2022 debut, First Spell, the band is poised to deliver another hard-hitting collection of tracks that are unapologetically loud, thrilling, and unforgettable. Moulin Rouge is a testament to Voodoo Angel's relentless energy and unique sound—a fusion of sleaze, metal, and pure rock that has captivated audiences worldwide. The album features ten explosive tracks, including the anthemic opener "We're Still Alive," the poignant "When Life Passes You By," and the gritty "Daddy's Back To The Madam." Fans can expect the same raw power and intensity that made Voodoo Angel a global sensation. Tracklist: 01. We're Still Alive 02. When Life Passes You By 03. Broken 04. It's Gonna Hurt 05.

From their beer-fueled beginnings to their viral sleaze-metal renditions of pop classics like "Billie Jean" and INXS's "Devil Inside," the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of rock music. Their original compositions, such as "Wake Me When It's Done," have further solidified their place in the rock pantheon, amassing fans from Europe to Australia. The band's lineup, featuring Jean-Luc Rumèbe (Lead Vocals, Keytar, Piano, Guitars & Keys), Jim Red (Bass guitar & Backing vocals), Christophe Mouynet (Lead Guitars & Backing vocals), and Thomas Feuga (Drums & Backing vocals), is a powerhouse of talent and chemistry. Together, they have crafted Moulin Rouge, an album that not only meets but exceeds the high expectations set by their debut. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Jean-Luc Rumèbe at JLR Studio Productions in France, Moulin Rouge is a sonic masterpiece. Rumèbe, who also composed, wrote, and arranged the album, brings his signature style to every track, ensuring that each song is a testament to Voodoo Angel's raw, unfiltered power. Fans can catch a glimpse of what's to come with the album sampler and artwork, both of which reflect the band’s distinctive aesthetic. Additionally, the track "So Pretty" features special guest backing vocals by Ricky Kearns, adding another layer of depth to the album. As Voodoo Angel prepares to unleash Moulin Rouge upon the world, one thing is certain: this band is here to stay.

    • New video for 'I Can't Wait' coming later this week.    
    • Ah, the old record label make a quick buck off bands they dropped years ago sets where they are just bare bones albums with no bonus material. I thought maybe I missed box sets with bonus stuff. But once again, still reasonably priced.
