The Pink Floyd - High Time


I just got a copy of this very recently. Thank you "A DoinkerTape" for sharing and converting your vinyl copy with us. This is taken from a limited edition vinyl release. Only a hundred apparently have been circulated. I will let "A DoinkerTape" explain the details of this recording.

"Side one features three tunes from the "Rome Goes Pop! program(me): Astronomie Domine, Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, and Interstellar Overdrive. The first two tracks are sourced from a VPRO-FM radio rebroadcast on 1988-04-29. The third track is an audio rip from the television broadcast on ARD TV (West Germany) from 1968-05-18. The quality is simply stunning."

"Side two is pre-FM sourced from the program(me) John Peel's Night Ride: Granchester Meadows (Daybreak), Cymbaline (Nightmare), Green Is The Colour (The Beginning/Beset By Creatures Of The Deep), and The Narrow Way. The last track is of mention as it contains vocals. For those of you unfamiliar with the extra titles, these tracks were performed on the road during 1969 as part of a concept piece "The Man and The Journey". The versions presented here are notable for their differences from the normal concert routine."

I couldn't agree more with the quality of this recording. It is amazing. I highly recommend this to all Pink Floyd collectors. Be it hardcore, or light listener, you will not be disappointed.

The Kinks - 03/08/1987 The Riviera Night Club Chicago, IL


I haven't shared some Kinks in awhile. So, here is a new one that I recently come across. What we have here is a live FM broadcast, from WXRT, in Chicago. You may recognize this concert from Westwood One. The major difference between the two, is WXRT was first to broadcast the concert. And this is the complete concert, Westwood One left out several songs. So, now you can have to whole thing. As far as quality goes, the show sounds wonderful. Best of all they play some of my favorites. Like "Low Budget,""Gallon of Gas," and "Twentieth Century Man." This id a great show (HOT,HOT,HOT) with a great set list. Enjoy.

1:  INTRO/DO IT AGAIN
2:  THE HARD WAY
3:  LOW BUDGET

John Lee Hooker - Bellstar Lounge, Colden, NY 4/4/79

I've always been a big fan of John Lee Hooker. I love listening to him play with just a guitar, and no band. This soundboard recording however, is with a backing band. John Lee Hooker and the Coast To Coast Blues Band. I haven't come across any recordings that sound all that good with just him. This is a nice straight up blues. The recording sounds great. Enjoy.

Set List:

1 My Baby Left Me
2 Instrumental
3 Losin' Hand
4 Raining ?
5 One Bourbon One Scotch and One Beer
6 Serve Me Right to Suffer
7 Rock Steady
8 When My First Wife Left Me
9 Boogie Chillun




I hope to see some of you people tomorrow night at the Furthur concert in Atlanta.  Should be a rocking time. Try not to melt your brains to much. Lord knows I will be. Be safe and mindful of each other, and hopefully that will be enough to keep us all out of trouble. And try not to let the ballon man get yeah. He's sneaky, and gets me every time.
