Rock On Interview

This interview with John Tobler appears to have been recorded in Belfast around 20/21 February 1979, when Van returned to perform in Belfast for the first time since Them days. It was broadcast on the BBC Radio 1 programme “Rock On”, introduced by Tommy Vance, a couple of months later.

I recorded this on poor quality tape on a domestic radio/cassette, so the sound quality is mediocre, but first generation. Also missed the odd word here and there due to clumsy tape flips. When Tobler refers to an annual poll of favourite songs, he’s talking about John Peel’s festive fifty. Madame George (not Astral Weeks as Tobler incorrectly states) was voted #21 in the 1978 Festive Fifty.

COMPLETE DEMO TRACKS OF “THE WALL” ALBUM

Recorded at The Floyd’s Britannia Row Studios

(Sept-Dec, 1978 & Late 1979)
& Super Bear Studio(April-Aug 1979)
in France.

This is just like being in the studio with the Floyd!

This is the studio demo track they drawn on to record the final mix of their “Wall” album: every track IS a radically different unreleased version to the album’s.

It includes loads of unedited mixes, never released tracks (merged into other songs), different lyrics, original sound collages etc …

Without the full lush arrangements you get a good idea of what Roger Waters had in mind when he first conceived The Wall: a dry, alienating & beautiful descent into his tormented mind.

It is a real surprise is to hear the band as the original 4 piece experimenting like in “the good old days” with all sorts of different ideas that didn’t make it onto the final mix for most: various synth lines, weird sounds, raw guitars, strange sound collages etc… One can appreciate the massive task of editing and changing most of these songs to fit on the double album we all know.

It is “The Wall” like you have never heard it before: just brilliant!!

I have no idea if this recording or any other recording of this performance has been circulated.

Technical Notes:
No eq’ing or altering.
There is a hum mainly notable in-between songs. It doesn’t detract too much from the music so I made no attempt to eliminate it.
The two discs represent the two sides of the cassette respectively.

Musical Notes:
I believe The Crickets were at this performance and although I cannot find anything online to confirm this I am billing it as such. The first 12 songs are all Holly/Cricket tunes except 3 & 4 which are Holly-related and at the end of the “Well…All Right_It’s So Easy_Peggy Sue” medley he says “The Crickets” as if prompting them to take a bow and there are no more Holly/Crickets songs after that. This performance is less than a year from the release of “The Buddy Holly Story” movie which is mentioned in this performance. The Untitled track is a song “we wrote” (Jennings & The Crickets?) about that movie and what they got wrong. It is not “Old Friend” nor could I find any reference to it searching its lyrics.
The music comes right in on the cassette so I can’t confirm there aren’t missing songs. But I don’t know what other Holly/Cricket song they could have played.

unknown very good audience recording to CD

…from the Jjoops Tupperware of Treasures…

Restored by Jamie Waddell in Walebab 7.1
a project GEMS June 2016

  1. That’s What Love Will Make You Do
  2. Someday Baby
  3. Heart of Fire*
  4. Dear Prudence

  6. Tellin’ My Friends*

Merl Saunders – organ, keyboards, vocals
Ron Stallings – tenor sax, vocals
Ed Neumeister – trombone
John Kahn – electric bass

*Unknown female singer sings lead on Heart of Fire and backs up on Tellin’ My Friends. Heart of Fire is a Mary Russell song released on the 1979 album of the same name on Paradise Records. After a career in Little Sister and work with Sly and the Family Stone in the early 70s, Mary McCreary married Leon Russell in 1976 and they wrote and produced music together.
Could it be Mary singing here?

notes

  • This is the first source in digital circulation.
  • CD transfer ran very fast, about 7%, quite unlistenable. Speed fix determined by comparing July 22 version of Dear Prudence, since no other source material circulates for this date. Jerry sounds like himself now.
  • Dolby was not decoded on the transfer. I did my best to equalize it to a proper listening curve.
  • based on the tape start and stop instead of pause like the rest of the show before the very short version of Tellin’ My Friends, the hello to fans and following cheer and the subsequent tune up, as well as guest female vocals – my ears think it is the encore.
  • It is a bLLessing this CD transfer exists, or we may not know this strong show as listeners and should.
