Film Noir: The Dark Side of Cinema XX

cover

Alan Ladd was one of the great film noir actors. He had a star-making turn as a contract killer in This Gun For Hire alongside Veronica Lake. He made three more noirs with her and continued to star in various noirs throughout his career. Kino Lorber presents two of those films in this set (Captain Carey, USA & Appointment with Danger) and then there is one film without him (Make Haste to Live).

The two films with Ladd are pretty good and the other – not so much. But I continue to love this noir sets from Kino. You can read my full review here.

OldNeumanntapr Notes-
This was the last time that I was to see and record the Allman Brothers Band. The SB County Bowl is a small intimate venue that holds about 3,500 people. We were up front in the 8th row. Space was tight and I had to run my gear under the seat but as I remember I believe that they let us bring in microphone stands this time, as opposed to back in 1992.

OldNeumanntapr Notes-
My fourth Allman Brothers Band show, and my second ABB show at Shoreline. This time we were in the reserved section rather than on the lawn and the crowd was a little bit better behaved. (At least this show I didn’t have people purposely coming up to my microphones and trying to scream into them!) I still didn’t have an external microphone preamp yet and the internal pre on the D7 was kind of finicky. Fortunately the Nakamichi’s didn’t require phantom power. It was nice to be able to bring in a microphone stand, as opposed to the ’92 show when I had to duct tape my microphone brace to the steel cables that separate the reserved from the general admission section. I believe Rusted Root opened this year. I do remember that I was not that impressed with them and did not record their set.

Taper Notes:
I had heard that the Allman Brothers were becoming taping friendly and trying to attract some of the Dead’s taper crowd. When I got to the County Bowl that afternoon I noticed that the sign that says ‘No Cameras, Tape Recorders, Weapons, Etc’, had black electrical tape over the words ‘tape recorders’. I took that as a Good Sign! They let me in with no problem after I explained that my bag contained Only audio taping equipment; my usual spiel. I just wish that the head of security had clued in the rest of the staff! The security sure tried to hassle me as I was setting up my mics. They were clueless that the Allmans allowed taping. The Bowl wouldn’t allow mic stands so I had to hold a T-Bar with the CM-300s on it the whole night. Man, was my arm tired later! As I was setting up my mics on the T-Bar, this security guy comes over, frowns, and says, ‘What are Those?’ Ah, microphones, says I. ‘What are they FOR?’, he asks. For Recording, says I. I Almost added, ‘Is this a trick question’? It seemed obvious to me what they were for! ‘We’ll see about this!’ he says, and storms off. A little while later he comes back, about 20 feet away, looks at me and shrugs his shoulders and shakes his head as he walked away! I had a lady complain to me that they wouldn’t let her bring in a camera so why was I able to tape the show? Hey, rules are rules. I asked her if she’d ever had a flash go off in her eyes but she wasn’t listening. There were a couple of other tapers there that night but I think that I was the closest to the stage. I’ve never seen another recording of this show from another source in circulation. Anyway, this was my 1st Allman Brothers concert and I thought that they were awesome. I loved the interplay between the musicians. Warren was on fire!!! Hootchie Coochie Man sent chills down my back. He is such a bluesman! I had seen and recorded the Dead since early 1986 but I understood after the show why people say that NOBODY COOKS LIKE THE ALLMAN BROTHERS!!! Blues Traveler opened the show and I recorded them with the same Nakamichi CM-300s->Sony WMD-D6C rig. Even now, after seeing the Allmans quite a few times over the years, I have to say that the 1992 line up is still one of my favorite incarnations of the band.
