Bob Marley – Providence, RI (09/17/80)

Lineage – Unknown
SBD-C(x)-FLAC

I pulled out an old cassette just to compare to what is currently traded, and I was surprised that this sounded much better(to my ears at least), and is clearly the soundboard version, not the audience. I was also happy to see that it includes the full version of Zimbabwe as well as the awards presentation to Bob. I transferred it straight from the cassette to my computer with no enhancements. Unfortunately, it is not perfect, but hopefully an upgrade for some of you.

Do not Sell or encode to any lossless format.

The Friday Night Horror Movie: Forbidden World (1982)

forbidden world

We are edging ever so close to Totally Awesome ’80s in April, so I thought I’d let my Friday Night Horror be an ’80s flick. I will have at least one more Western In March review up before the end of the month to make it not a total loss, but as I’ve mentioned before there aren’t a lot of Western horror flicks.

Roger Corman remade Alien and it’s pretty good, actually.

Corman was a prolific producer (who also directed some pretty great Edgar Alan Poe adaptations). He famously gave Martin Scorsese and Jonathan Demme their starts and mandated the films he produced have at least one scene of violence and/or sex every fifteen minutes.

Forbidden World has ample amounts of both. But it also has a bit of style, a pretty good story (even if it is mostly ripped off from other, better science fiction films), and it is rather entertaining.

Military fixer Mike Colby (Jesse Vint) is called to an isolated planet to investigate some troubling messages from an experimental research station there.

Upon landing, he learns that the scientists have been experimenting with a synthetic strain of DNA that when combined with another creature has turned into something strange and dangerous. Something alien you might say.

There are a couple of sexy scientists (Dawn Dunlap & June Chadwick), a disheveled, chain-smoking genius (Linden Chiles), and other miscellaneous (and thus disposable) crew members. The monster thing continues to change and grow and kill all the while the survivors try and…well…survive.

It is very much a low-rent Alien knock-off with bits of The Blob, Star Wars, and other science fiction/horror flicks from the time period thrown in for good measure. Oh, and at least a couple of naked shower scenes, because why not?

But it is well made for what it is, the effects are surprisingly good all things considered, and I found it to be quite a bit of fun.

Total time 85 mins.

Notes: This is from the same DAT source as 3/7. This one is a better balanced recording. Still with a minor amount of hiss. From the EZT comments on 3/7 it is suggested that this is an upgrade to many boot CD sources for this material. “The End” ends abruptly, but I suspect this is how they did it and not a tape problem.
