Stone the Crows - Transmissions (2023) [Official Digital Download]

Right from the start, there was something special about Stone The Crows, the Glasgow band founded by guitarist Leslie Harvey, featuring vocalist Maggie Bell. Discovered by Led Zeppelin’s manager Peter Grant, along with Mark London in 1969, they had worked long and hard, and certainly deserved recognition. Their studio albums were well-received, culminating in 1972’s Ontinuous Performance (completed in the wake of Harvey’s death in April of that year), but it was on stage that the Crows really soared, captivating audiences at home and abroad with their electrifying performances. This 4CD/2DVD set showcases the band’s development from 1970 up to one of their best and last appearance in 1973 at the Rose d’Or Festival in Montreux. Along the way, we enjoy fan favourites, plus the lesser heard “Come On”, which could have been a hit. DVD One combines their Beat-Club appearances with a Beat Workshop broadcast from 1973, recorded in October 1972, just months after Leslie Harvey’s death. DVD Two presents them on French TV’s Pop Deux during their 1971 show at the Taverne de l’Olympia, and at the Bataclan in Paris (1972). An appearance on Swiss TV’s Pop Hot from the 1970 Montreux Jazz Festival, together with a crowd-pleasing performance at the prestigious Rose d’Or Festival of 1973, also in Montreux, complete the set.
