Soundboard
recording
A
collection of rarities and alternativeversions
resulting from the recording
sessions
of the album Rock in a HardPlace
(1982). We can find devilish
instrumental
versions of the songs thatwere
included on the album, as Steven
Tyler was
in a terrible state due to hisdrug
addiction and was rarely seen in
the
studio. In other shots you can alreadyhear the
song more similar to the one
included
on the album and even with thedecent
participation of Tyler, but in others
we can
hear it with the voice a little spoiled,babbling
some lyrics or melodies.
the
discovery of these oddities has been veryinteresting,
citing for example the braving of"Take
It or Leave It #13" (what would be"Bolivian
Ragamuffin"), the alternative
instrumental
version of "Bitches Brew" and"Gut
Bucket Blues".
Out-takes
from recording of 'Rock In A Hard Place' in Miami, The absence of Tyler during
the some of the period is reflected by the number of tracks which are
instrumental versions. A few have Tyler ad-libbing vocals.Gut Bucket
Blues (instrumental) and Take It Or Leave It #13 eventually became Bolivian
Ragamuffin.The
alternate version of Bitches Brew is an instrumental.A version
of Riff and Roll turned up on Pandora's Box but recorded at The Power Station,
NYC in Sept. 81, a year earlier.
The version of Joanie's
Butterfly is an instrumental which is how Crespo intended it`to be until Tyler
added lyrics from a dream he had. Jailbait, Cry Me A River and Lightning
Strikes are also primitive versions of the final songs.
