Colosseum - Boston Tea Party, Boston Mass Feb. 22,1969


Here is some nice smooth psychedelic-prog-jazz-rock, if you will allow. Colosseum's music will definitely take you out there.  And this concert does not disappoint, in that realm. This is a soundboard recording, taken directly from the reels at WBCN radio station, in Boston MA. I got say it sounds pretty damn good. The first song has a bit of weathering to it, but it quickly clears up. The music and the recording are both very enjoyable. I hope you agree. Burn one for me.

Set list:
1- Butty's Blues
2- The Machine Deserves a Sacrifice
Valentine Suite:
3- January's Search
4- February's Valentine
5- Beware the Ides of March (splice in middle where tape was ripped)

Bob Dylan & The Band Feb. 11, 1974 Oakland, CA.

This is a great concert. A must have for Dylan fans. Rather than give my two cents, I think this review I got with it says it all:
"This Japanese CD combines two excellent quality, superbly mixed soundboard recordings from the Feb.11, 1974 early and late shows, and  includes tracks performed by The Band as well. The performance, while fairly standard for 1974 in terms of the set list, is excellent in execution. A surprisingly enjoyable set and, as with Paint The Daytime Black, a far better representation of 1974 than the official Before The Flood album. "

Circulatory System - Nuci's Space, Athens, GA 6.26.2009

This is for all the psychedelic heads out there.  If you are a fan of Olivia Tremor Control, this band is for you. Many of the members of OTC ended up in Circulatory System.  This is a live audience recording, taped by Lance Stack. He did a wonderful job of it. Lance has an amazing recording rig, and this concert is a great example, of how an audience recording can sound better than a soundboard. Circulatory System will take you out into deep psychedelic space. And if your not careful you might not come back. Take the trip.

Set list:
1. intro
2. Yesterday's World
3. Signal Morning
4. The Frozen Lake >
5. Woodpecker Greeting Worker Ant >
6. A Peek
7. Overjoyed
8. Until Moon Medium Hears the Message
9. The Spinning Continuous

30 Days of Dead

This is the second year of free high quality mp3's (320kbps). Everyday they will add a new live track from The Grateful Dead's Vault of treasures. Last years was amazing, so I'm sure this year will not disappoint. It's only the second day, and you can still get yesterdays. Today is a jovial “Slipknot > Franklin's Tower.” And yesterday is strong “New Potato Caboose” from Winterland 1967. Don't miss out. Once again, I am thankful to The Dead, for their never ending kindness. Take the time to share in it.

Neil Young - Avery Fisher Hall NY. April 24, 2011.


Here is the first night of two at Avery Fisher Hall in New York.  I posted the second night a few months ago, and have been meaning to get this one up ever since. Sorry for the delay.  The sound quality is almost the same. Though this one is in mono do to cable problems. This too is also an audience recording. I'm mainly putting this up for those of you who would like to have both nights. I like to have complete runs myself.  Of the two nights I would have to admit that the 25th is a bit better on the sound end.  The shows themselves are both great.

We Miss You.

(August 1, 1942 – August 9, 1995)
 
Jerry, my friend,
you've done it again,
even in your silence
the familiar pressure
comes to bear, demanding
I pull words from the air
with only this morning
and part of the afternoon
to compose an ode worthy
of one so particular
about every turn of phrase,
demanding it hit home
in a thousand ways
before making it his own,
and this I can't do alone.
Now that the singer is gone,
where shall I go for the song?


Without your melody and taste
to lend an attitude of grace
a lyric is an orphan thing,
a hive with neither honey's taste
nor power to truly sting.


What choice have I but to dare and
call your muse who thought to rest
out of the thin blue air
that out of the field of shared time,
a line or two might chance to shine --


As ever when we called,
in hope if not in words,
the muse descends.


How should she desert us now?
Scars of battle on her brow,
bedraggled feathers on her wings,
and yet she sings, she sings!


May she bear thee to thy rest,
the ancient bower of flowers
beyond the solitude of days,
the tyranny of hours--
the wreath of shining laurel lie
upon your shaggy head
bestowing power to play the lyre
to legions of the dead


If some part of that music
is heard in deepest dream,
or on some breeze of Summer
a snatch of golden theme,
we'll know you live inside us
with love that never parts
our good old Jack O' Diamonds
become the King of Hearts.


I feel your silent laughter
at sentiments so bold
that dare to step across the line
to tell what must be told,
so I'll just say I love you,
which I never said before
and let it go at that old friend
the rest you may ignore.

Robert Hunter

Journey - 05/27/1974 Sausalito, CA


Now, before you say what the hell's going on here? Let me explain. I am not in anyway shape or form a Journey fan.  But a good friend of mine, insisted that they were an amazing prog-rock band, when they started out. So, I figured I'd give him a chance, and checkout some of their early music. This concert takes place in May, several months before they signed to Columbia records in November. How's that for early beginnings? It was recorded at The Record Plant in Sausalito, CA. The recording is believed to be a soundboard. There is a bit of tape hiss, but not distracting to the music. I've got to say I quite enjoyed the music. They really were a good band, before Steve Perry got involved. It's night and day. They have some interesting jams and real tight band. It's really to bad they didn't stick with it. Thanks Josh for putting me on to some good shit. I do recommend checking this concert out.

Set List:
1 Intro > Mystery Mountain > Tuning
2 Topaz
3 All Too Much > In My Lonely Feeling > Conversation
4 Kohoutek
5 To Play Some Music > Drum Solo > To Play Some Music
6 Of A Lifetime
7 In the Morning Day > Outtro

Taj Mahal - 04/05/1979 Palalido, Milano, Italy.


It's Taj Mahal what more needs to be said, really.  This a pretty strong sounding recording.  It's taken straight off of the soundboard to cassette tape.  So, it does have a bit of that cassette sound, but you quickly get used to it , and truly get immersed in the music.  I want to thank 38f for recording and sharing this concert with us.  32 years later, we can still enjoy this concert, thanks to 38f.  So Please, Enjoy.
