Comments: This recording captures Percy’s headlining set at the “British Summer Time” festival on June 26, 2022. Powerful performance, though unfortunately shortened for the festival. The taper clearly found a sweet spot — the dynamics are excellent, and the crowd around him is eerily silent. Very unusual for a general admission festival for crowd noise to be absent.

Many thanks to TallTaper for taping and sharing. I was just the helper who EQ’d and tracked it.

Notes: Recorded from section 102 in the lower pavilion about ten rows back from the
stage right/audience left stack. What a great show. Their voices are soooo good together.
I was surprised Indy was included in the first leg of the tour since there weren’t very
many dates announced at that time. The sound was great, and most of the crowd noise
was behind me. Catch them on tour if you can. Enjoy!

Film Noir: The Dark Side of Cinema XVII

Edward G. Robinson is one of my favorite actors. He became famous for portraying snarling, and deadly gangsters, and he’s great in that type of role in films like Little Ceasar and Key Largo (1948). But he made all types of other films from film noirs to comedies to heartfelt dramas. One of my favorite roles of his was his very last, the bookish best friend of Charlton Heston in Soylent Green (1973).

This edition of Kino Lorber’s long-running noir series stars Robinson during a dark period of his career. He’d been blacklisted by HUAC and could only find jobs with poverty row studios in low-budget b-pictures. These are certainly not his best films, but I just love that they are getting the Blu-ray treatment. You can read my full review here.
