Known Faults:
-Running On Empty: start cut
-Minor pitch variances

This show was part of the 1988 nineteen city “Christic Institute” benefit tour and does not appear to be widely circulated.

Quality on this one is average at best and suffers from the unknown generation source. The left channel was unusable and I had to turn it into a true mono capture before mastering which improved it tremendously from were we started. It is listenable but probably not one that will solicit repeat play. There is some borderline minor pitch variances throughout the show but I would not consider them a major issue to the overall listenability.

Danny O’Keefe opens with an 8 song solo set followed by comedian Bruce Crimmins. No real surprises to the set for this time period, we do get a nice “Our Lady Of The Well” to close the show.

Jackson forgets the words to “For America” and has to stop, jokes about it then restarts.

Artwork and samples provided…I’ve also added a handful of newspaper reviews of the show.

Stripeydave says: This recording is dedicated to the Gil and Dave and the fantastic group of musicians who showed up. Thank you.

It is also dedicated to every single one of you who downloads this recording. You have excellent taste and are to be congratulated! 😉

There’s not much that I can say about this show that isn’t better said in the accompanying blog post of my newest music friend. But I’ll throw in two or three cents worth.

After all the Little Room shows, I didn’t know what to expect in the “big” room proper. Needless to say, when Dave and Gil bring their friends to play, everyone wins! A truly wonderful evening, the high points for me being the hauntingly beautiful reading of Neil Young’s “Birds” as sung by Harper Simon, and Willie Watson belting out John Lennon’s “Crippled Inside”. That being said, there were no low points and it was really hard to believe the number and variety of hugely talented musicians who kept dropping in to play. You’ll really want to grab this one. There is a small gap right before Love Hurts, but only stage banter was lost, not a drop of music (which was a small miracle in and of itself–you try to change tapes in a pin-drop-quiet theatre known for its EXTREME no-taping policy).

My feeling is that this music is too important to let drift off into the mists of time and is a wonderful historical document. I am pleased to be able to share it with you.

So keep your windows open please and try to upload as much as you download. I understand it may be tough on dialup, so if you can’t, no worries… just try to share it with as many people as you can by other methods, preferably through random acts of kindness.

One last thing, if you like this show then please go out and buy their albums. You won’t be disappointed. Support live Independent Music!
The life you save will be your own!

Japan Organized Crime Boss (1969)

japan organied crime boss

Kenji Fukasaku’s Japan Organized Crime Boss is a film about a man lost in time. He’s an old Yakuza who still lives by a code. But he’s been in prison for a while and that has made him want to live a quiet life. But like Michael Corleone the people all around him keep dragging him back in. But those people don’t have a code. The world is changing and it’s left him behind.

This is a good film, but a more thoughtful film than you might imagine with that title. It is shot like a documentary and is building a mythology around the Yakuza that probably never existed. You can read my full review over at Cinema Sentries.

Last stop on the tour for me. Home town show recorded with DG just
like old times. Excellent sound but two flaws. During Pearly Queen
there was a bit of a arguement right behind me. Ended up wearing
part of a drink, but didnt let it affect the recording besides the
extra noise. The other problem is I missed the first bit of Low Spark
when the recorder has a memory error creating the second file. I had
to restart the unit and missed less than a minute. Oh well. So much
for the flawless recording.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)

the cabinet of dr caligari 4k uhd

I’m still trying to learn how to watch silent movies. I have the hardest time keeping my mind from wandering. It helps when the film is full of interesting visuals like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and when it comes with a beautiful new transfer like this release. Ditto when it has some good music to go with it. Read my full review over at Cinema Sentries.

Little Women (1994)

little women 4k cover

Though I am the right age to have grown up with this adaptation of Little Women, I only first watched it a few years ago. I’ve come to love both the story (or at least cinematic adaptations of the story, for I’ve never read the book) and this particular adaptation. This new 4K UHD release is a stunner as you can read in my review over at Cinema Sentries.
