OldNeumanntapr Notes;
When I heard from my ‘partner-in-crime’ that his friend Brian’s wife couldn’t make the show I couldn’t pay him for the ticket fast enough. I love John Hiatt and especially enjoy hearing him play solo acoustic. As usual, John tells some funny stories between songs and does a few requests. There was one guy who kept asking for ‘Feels Like Rain’. The Fremont is a beautiful theater and has wonderful acoustics and it is always a real pleasure to see a live performance there. The Fremont was built in 1942 and was one of San Luis Obispo’s two art-deco movie theaters, the other being the Obispo, which was built in 1911 and burned to the ground in late 1975. Though the Fremont still has provisions for showing films, the SLO Film Festival is held there every spring, it has since been converted to a performing arts theater. Thanks so much to Flying M for his wonderful job at post production fairy dust. 🙂

Do NOT Convert To MP3.
Enjoy! Share freely, don’t sell, play nice, don’t run with scissors, etc. 😉

Three months ago the extended JEMS family consisting of myself, slipkid68 and slowburn convened at JEMS South meeting up with BK to do some long needed organizing and evaluating some recent acquisitions to the archives.

One of these recent acquisitions was a collection of pristine low gen reels from the collection of CB, a long time taper/trader that many of you know from our past shares of his stellar Springsteen masters. The collection of reels has already resulted in a one major upgrade and one alternate source for two European ’81 Springsteen shows.

As we were organizing the reels, one spine caught my eye and hit me like a bolt of lightning “Jackson Browne Miami 1978”. After spending the last year focused on Jackson’s1977-1978 “Running On Empty” tour, I immediately knew Miami was, to my knowledge and research, completely uncirculated (or at least vastly under-circulated).

The “Running On Empty” Tour kicked off on August 11, 1977 still located here:
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=634815
The first month of the tour were recorded resulting in the eventual release of the LP on December 6, 1977.
The first leg of the tour which resulted in the LP release appears to ran from August 11, 1977 to September 18, 1977. Other than a few benefits, an appearance on Saturday Night Live and a New Year’s Eve show at the Forum in LA, the balance of the year was focused on readying and releasing the LP.

The second leg of the tour, in which this show falls. ran from January 11, 1978 to January 29, 1978 before picking up again with two benefit concerts in Dallas beginning on March 28th.

Quality of this second leg closing night is very good and the performances are top-notch but unfortunately incomplete missing “Stay” and likely “The Road And The Sky” which was the common closer for this let.

I personally can’t get enough of this tour and this show easily fits in as one of the best. This is the fifth show I’ve had the pleasure to work on and release of this era with a few more still to go that are unfortunately on the rough side and one special surprise.

Samples and artwork included…

Thanks to BK for the transfer and the extended JEMS family….the biggest thanks goes to CB for his pristine reels and the source of another historically important show!

And on to Birmingham…the “Running On Empty” tour had been on the road since August and the band was now firing on all cylinders.
Opening night is posted here:
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=634815

8 of the 10 songs on the LP, which came out on in December, are now being played, the Birmingham show is tightly focused with a ton of energy and one of my favorite ’77-’78 tour shows based on both the performance and quality of the capture.

The quality of the capture is near excellent, I’m still hopeful someday the master surfaces.

The raw tape ran extremely fast and had to be pitch adjusted by -70 cents, in addition, the due diligence that goes into all my releases have been executed, channel aligned, de-clicked, dc offset removed, external audience noises extracted and final mastering.

This one comes highly recommended even for the casual fan.

Thanks to M for the file…samples and artwork provided…

The Friday Night Horror Movie: Nocturne (2020)

nocturne movie poster

I don’t know why I keep watching films made under the Blumhouse banner. They are all well made. They have good production values. They look great. They are often very well-acted and usually the direction is handled well. But there is something so slick, so generic about them that I find almost all of them instantly forgettable. They feel as if they are made by a committee in a factory instead of by a passionate creator with a specific point of view.

Nocturne is a perfect example of this. It has a decent story and it was obviously made by good craftsmen. But it feels like a retread of Black Swan with a bit of Whiplash thrown in but with no interesting ideas of its own.

Juliet (Sydney Sweeney) and Vivian Lowe (Madison Iseman) are twin sisters who have been training to become concert pianists from a very young age. Vivian is the prodigy having just been accepted to Julliard while Juliet did not get accepted, and as it was the only school she applied too will be taking a year off. They are both seniors at a prestigious music academy.

The film begins with another student, the best in her class committing suicide by jumping off a balcony. She was set to star in the senior showcase and now there is an empty spot. All seniors are welcome to apply.

Juliet accidentally discovers the dead girl’s theory notebook which is full of all kinds of mystical horror movie drawings. Naturally, she starts using it and naturally her musical skills improve dramatically.

The sisters don’t seem to like each other very much and their rivalry skyrockets now that they have the chance to star in the senior showcase.

All of this is a good setup for something interesting to happen. But it never does. I expected the notebook angle to go into supernatural occult territory. It seemed to think about doing exactly that, but then pulled back. Juliet keeps studying and playing the songs inside it. Her skills improve and her life begins mimicking the weird drawings inside. But she never takes it too far.

The sisters fight. One of them gets hurt. One of them cheats with the other one’s boyfriend, but again the film never really runs with these ideas. A film like this should take extremes. It doesn’t need to be sort of realistic.

It is a Blumhouse film so the production values are high. It looks good. I think Sydney Sweeney is a very fine actress, but there is nothing for her to really bite into here.

Two months from now I’ll be scrolling through Amazon and I’ll see this film pop up. I’ll have to look it up on Letterboxd to see if I’ve seen it before and I’ll be surprised by the answer.
