14 Pennies from Heaven (J. Burke-A. Johnston) (incomplete) 2:57

From a tape made by Donald Coy. Edited to Parker solos and exchanges. The tape was recorded off a dressing room speaker, and parts of some items (“Embraceable You” through “All the Things You Are”) are marred by conversation. It’s unlikely that the titles from this session and the next one are all from the same date, but they’re probably from the same gig.

  • d1t03 is cut at the beginning and the end.
  • d1t04 is cut at the end

  • d1t06 is an additional fragment for “Wahoo” missing the start and finish
  • d1t07 is cut at the end
  • d1t08 is a fragment missing both the start and finish
  • d1t09 is an additional fragment of “I can’t get started” missing the start and finish
  • This recording not for the casual listener. This is one of those that is definetely
    for completists only. There are more flaws to this than I can list, but it is a
    piece of history and is worth preserving none the less.
  • Thanks to Peter Losin for contributing this source source. http://www.plosin.com/
  • “Very fragmentary — edited to Parker solos for the most part. These may be dubs of
    wire recordings; fidelity is very poor throughout.”- Credit to Peter Losin,
    http://www.plosin.com/
  • “Philology W 844 contains 22 titles purporting to be from this date, but I’m skeptical.
    First, the trumpet player sounds like Kenny Dorham, not Davis. Second, Frank Loesser’s
    tune “On a Slow Boat to China” was not copyrighted until 1948, and Parker’s “Barbados”
    was not recorded in the studio until the Savoy date on September 18, 1948. It’s very
    unusual for a Parker original to appear in the live repertoire before it has been
    recorded. Third, Parker’s quotations and his playing (especially during his solo on the
    second “Slow Boat to China”) sound like 1949, not 1947. The Parker Quintet (with Dorham,
    Haig, Potter, and Roach, and guest vocalist Arthur Daniels) were booked for two weeks
    at Chicago’s Pershing Hotel Ballroom (March 28-April 10, 1949), and my guess is that
    those 22 tunes were recorded during this gig. If so, Davis was half a country away in
    New York at the Royal Roost and Capitol Recording Studios.” – Credit to Peter Losin,

Description:

This is an excellent-quality FM broadcast of a complete “In My Tribe” concert. The setlist is fairly standard for the era,
although the inclusion of a short piano-based original song informally referred to as “After Talking to Myself” is noteworthy.
In most other respects, this recording is very similar to the commonly-circulating Sadlers Wells (London) show from July 1988.

10,000 Maniacs’ “The Wishing Chair” L.P. will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year
(original release date – September 23, 1985). Since it seems apparent that the Maniacs
are not being given the remaster / bonus tracks / box set treatment that they so richly
deserve, I’ve decided to upload all of my 70+ live and rare 10,000 Maniacs recordings
during the coming weeks. Although many of these recordings will be re-seeds of previous
Dime torrents, a substantial number have never appeared on the Dime (and many others
haven’t been shared since the Dime’s previous incarnation as “easytree.org” circa 2005).

Enjoy!

11 New Feeling

13 Thank You For Sending Me An Angel
14 Take Me To The River

This is very much a straight upload of a lovely CD-R I got a few years back.

It’s true stereo (unlike another mono version that circulates) and couldn’t be mistaken for pre-FM were it not for the very brief announcements in two places.

The only changes were reducing the speed -0 minus 3 percent (by comparing to other contemporaneous recordings), and editing
in the last chord of The Good Thing, and synch-ing in the start of Take Me To The River as there was a small skip
in the music files on that (not a CD-R fault). I synch-ed in the missing 2 seconds (! – 1 second of each) from the
download version, doing a little careful mixing to ensure a smooth match. If I hadn’t described this here you
wouldn’t know the joins were there.

NB there is some confusion over Talking Heads FM concert dates from what I can see but my CD-R – in a printed cover (very nice
but sorry I don’t have a working scanner) stated 28 August 1978.

Enjoy!

LOST HEADS!

Like another Talking Heads collector I’ve lost some of my files in a hard drive crash.

Please share more Talking Heads if you can.

In particular FM shows – such as Berkeley Performance Centre 1979.
