Best riot cd box set
1. The Official Bootleg Box Set Volume 2: 1980-1990 / Riot
Description
Seven CD live collection from the metal band. Officially licensed from the archives of the Mark Reale estate, c/o Anthony Reale, The Official Bootleg Box Set Volume 2 captures the band at their creative and commercial peak, kicking off with shows from their 1981 UK tour. Riot had already developed a solid live reputation and cult fan-base in the UK when they played the Manchester Apollo on 13th October 1981, and the Ipswich Gaumont the following day, on a bill featuring The Rods and headlined by Saxon. Both sets include live favorites 'Outlaw', 'Road Racin', 'Rock City' and 'Warrior'. Cleveland, Ohio's Agora Ballroom was a regular stop-off for rock and metal bands in the '70s and '80s, and their 8th November 1981 show captured the band performing 'Fire Down Under', 'Overdrive', 'Road Racin' and 'Rock City'. Disc 5 was recorded at Paramount Theater, Staten Island in 1983, with the band supporting the new indie release, Born In America. Songs from that album include 'Where Soldier's Rule', 'Born In America', Vigilante Killer' and 'Wings Of Fire', included among The Riot classics 'Altar Of The King' and 'Restless Breed'. Jumping forward 7 years to their 1990 Osaka show in Japan, they rattled off 'Storming The Gates Of Hell', 'Maryanne' and 'Dance Of Death' from the then latest The Privilege of Power, plus 'Bloodstreets', 'Thundersteel' and 'Flight Of The Warrior' from 1988's Thundersteel record, by which time founder Mark Reale was the sole remaining original member. As an extra bonus, this collection is completed by a disc of 1980 writing and rehearsal sessions for what would be their breakthrough album, Fire Down Under, the last with original vocalist Guy Speranza. As well as a number of previously unreleased compositions, it includes early working versions of 'Swords And Tequila' and 'Altar Of The King', giving a unique insight into the genesis of some classic Riot numbers.2. The Official Bootlegs Box Set (Volume 1) 1976-1980
Description
UK live six CD set. Riot's story is one of what might have been, and to some degree, a band being (or not) in the right place at the right time. What this live collection does offer is unique, and often raw, insights into the growth and development of an influential hard rock and heavy metal band, as they graduated from small clubs in 1976 through to huge festivals in 1980. Riot formed in 1975, in New York City, when Kon-Tiki guitarist Mark Reale and drummer Peter Bitelli teamed up with bassist Phil Feit and vocalist Guy Speranza. Recording a four-track demo, they added Steve Costello on keyboards, and were subsequently picked up by New York producers Billy Arnell and Steve Loeb, who owned the independent label Fire-Sign Records. Signing to major label Capitol Records, this subsequently led to a UK tour in 1980 supporting Sammy Hagar (from where the Bristol show here was taken), and eventually a slot at the legendary Monsters of Rock Festival at Castle Donington the same year, on a bill featuring Saxon, Judas Priest, Scorpions and headlined by Rainbow. Mastered from tapes in the collection of the estate of founder member and guitarist Mark Reale, The Official Bootleg Box Set Volume 1 captures the band at their formative, early club stages in 1976, where much of their repertoire included songs by the bands that had influenced them, such as their covers on Montrose's 'I Got the Fire', 'Good Rockin' Tonight' and 'Rock Candy', to UFO's 'Shoot Shoot' and Deep Purple's 'Highway Star', included amongst Riot originals, 'Angel', 'Overdrive' and 'Tokyo Rose'. This set concludes with their aforementioned Castle Donington slot in 1980.3. Hits Of The 80's (60 Tracks)

The Coasters parlayed their R&B roots into rock and roll hits by delivering Leiber and Stoller's serio-comic tunes in an uptempo doo-wop style. Clocking in just a hair under three hours of music, this ultimate celebration of The Coasters features in-depth notes by writer-actor James Ritz, who also co-produced the compilation.7.
