Radiance Films is a relatively new company competing in the Boutique Blu-ray market. This was my first venture into what they are doing and I gotta say I liked it. The film is quite good – it is an Italian Neorealistic look at how someone might become a bandit. And the disk is beautiful with some nice extras. You can read my full review at Cinema Sentries.
As much as I love horror movies, I’ve never really delved into horror books or comics. So, I was pleased to be able to review this new comic from the guy who wrote 30 Days of Night. You can review my review of The Killing Hole over at Cinema Sentries.

20 Sweet Sounds of Heaven
21 (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction
Had tickets for the 2020 gig, and then… you know…
Wasn’t going to bother attending this one for a variety of reasons. Death of Charlie Watts, tickets were even more expensive than the original booking, and general dislike (to put it lightly) of stadium shows, just to name a few.
Neil Young was due in town a couple weeks after this, but unfortunately cancelled. Had tickets to both shows booked at Deer Lake Park. The money was refunded right away (much unlike Stones 2020) and all of a sudden the Stones were in town. The day of the show I found a secondary market ticket for well below face value and ended up paying about the same price as one of those Neil Young tickets.
Met up with some pals before hand for a few pints. We entered the venue during the opening act, Ghost Hounds. As soon as I got to my seat, I remembered why I never go to these kind of shows. Brutal. Ghost Hounds didn’t do it for me, generic boring American rock music. I wonder how much their buy-on was for this tour… Anyway, I used their last few songs as a record-level check to make sure I was all set for the main attraction (included here as a bonus).
The setlist was fairly ideal for a first and likely only time seeing the Stones. The overall experience left something to be desired. I never felt like I was really there but rather experiencing the show second or third hand, as if I was watching TV from across the street through binoculars or something. I’ve felt more like I was at a show while peering over a festival fence from a distance.
After being treated and sanitized, the recording sounds 150x better than it did at the show. Plus you don’t have to sit on a harsh plastic chair and smell my neighbour’s cheap hotel fatty acid soap aroma. Sit back in your favourite seat or listen to it on the go.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
This was my very first ‘stealth’ recording, and also the one and only time that I was able to see Miles Davis. My friend Mark is a big Miles fan, and he offered to buy me a ticket if I would record the show. Hey, works for me. 🙂
I remember that we rode to the show with his friend Jay, ‘Lucky’, from Lake Tahoe, and our friend Tim, who was another big music fan, as well as Carol Jo, the ‘Wood Nymph’ from KOTR FM in Cambria. We were 10th row center at the Main Gym at Cal Poly. The sound was pretty good, though Carol Jo talked a bunch to Mark starting midway through the show. At the time, I thought it would rude to tell Mark to have her shut the hell up, because I was getting the ticket for free, and because, not ever having done a stealth show before, I had no idea how much ambient noise the microphone would pick up. At that time I was used to only recording Grateful Dead concerts from the tapers section, with microphones on a stand above head level. I was holding the Aiwa CM-30 right in front of my face for this show, and there were a lot of quiet parts. Listening to the show now, I am remembering that the tape ran out and I missed the last part. (I only brought in one 90 minute cassette. The tape ends with the beginning of another song, but I left that as part of the previous song in the indexes.) The deal I made with Mark was that I would record the show and give him the master, but I copied it for myself after the show that night. The recording would have been much better, had it not been for Carol Jo’s talking, but it is what it is. This recording has really never been circulated, outside of a few friends here on the CA central coast. I’ve had the handbill for this show for years. It was hanging in the window of the liquor store where I worked in Cayucos, CA. I recorded Santana the next week at the same venue, the night of the Cal Poly/SLO Student Riots.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
DK West Indies Bar was located in Downtown San Luis Obispo on Broad Street, and later was converted into the Big Sky Cafe. I was lucky enough to catch Eric Burdon and Robbie Krieger there both in 1990, and in 1991 when Brian Auger also played with them. It was standing room only for both years, but I was young at the time and didn’t care.
