-The Road And The Sky: first couple of notes cut

Once again we tap the archives of our anonymous benefactor with a low generation document of the 1974 Jackson Browne / Linda Rondstadt co-headlining bill. The two performers alternated opening and closing spots and at tonight’s performance Jackson Browne closes show.

The included newspaper review mentions only about 500 people attended the show, a shockingly low number even for this time period in each’s career. However, with that low of attendance our taper gets an excellent, crowd free capture.

As seemed to happen more times than one would think at a Jackson Browne concert, we get an audience drunk yelling things at the stage. Fortunately, he is not near our taper and it elicits a classic Jackson moment when Jackson says “will you just shut up” along with telling a sexually suggestive joke aimed at the drunk.

This one almost didn’t happen, the tape it was on was a BASF Studio Series 90 minute cassette which was produced in 1976-1978. Time had not been kind to it and about halfway through transfer the squeaking and squealing began shortly followed by tape drag and then complete stoppage. Once I re-shelled the tape to a new shell I got a beautiful drag free transfer.

Midnight Dreamer has released this show in the past but I don’t know what other versions may have circulated. Linda’s set has been shared previously, to my knowledge there has not been a version released from this low of a tape generation.

Thanks to the anonymous collector that supplied a number of excellent shows with more to come!

In addition, a big big thanks to the good Professor Goody who is always at the ready at a moments notice to make sure the pitch is accurate on these historic and important documents. This tape is so much better for it…

Notes:
This was a master acquired by JEMS many years ago. Sadly, it seems Cobo Arena, always known to me as Cobo Hall, has seen it’s last show. It was a Great place to see a show , and this was the first of three Who appearances there, the others being the ’71 and ’73 tours. This tape starts with 40 seconds of distortion at the beginning of Heaven and Hell before settling down to a slightly overloaded sound for the rest of the show. It was recorded close to the stage, on John’s side.

Here is an exerpt of a review of this show by Jeff Geml taken from thewholive.de website.

“Of all the shows I saw during the 1960’s and 1970’s this sticks as the most memorable.

The event was a sellout and the crowd was really free. Skimpily dressed chicks and long-haired “freaks” passing joints and bottles of wine were the order of the day. Everybody was cool. No fights that I saw. No OD’s either. We were lucky to get great seats with a good vantage point for viewing the entire stage.

The lights dimmed and then suddenly Joe Walsh and the James Gang walked onstage. They had a pretty solid repertoire of hits and played them masterfully. I would have bought a ticket just to see them play for an hour or so. At the end of their last song there was a couple of second quiet “lull” as the crowd did not exactly know if the song was over, somebody way up in the stands yelled “you stink”. Joe Walsh did the right thing, he gave the guy his middle finger and said “F… You!”

After about a 15 or 20 minute break the lights went out and the stage was eerily quiet for a full 30 seconds. Suddenly a spotlight zeroed in on a figure wearing a white “milkman’s” suit descending from about 10 or 12 feet in the air (did he jump off something?) and landing on the stage floor with a wild swing of his arm tearing into his guitar strings and shattering the silence with a deafening roar. (Peter Townshend, of course). He swung that arm like a fast-moving pendulum while firing off guitar notes and riffs. He played every fret from one end of that guitar to the other like it was an extension of himself. A third leg or a third arm.

The band played song after song, hit after hit. Roger Daltrey swinging the microphone like a lariat and catching it in the nick of time, every time, on cue. Keith Moon with drumsticks twirling and bouncing off drumheads 20 maybe 25 feet in the air, only to fall back caught in his hand and played without missing a beat. John Entwistles’ bass permeating every bone in my body. I swear fillings came loose. The band would individually solo from time-to-time showcasing each players talents, but then come back and play tightly together, every time.

The light show that accompanied the performance was psychedelic but did not overpower the show. Not like Alice Coopers’ gimmickry nor the opposite, Jethro Tulls’ boring non-light show (where I swear they lip-synced the entire concert).
No sir, no lip-syncing by the Who. Their clothing was drenched with sweat as they poured their hearts and talent into each and every song. The group did not destroy their equipment at the end of this show, as was their trademark. I personally would have been in tears to see such fine instruments that gave us more than two hours of great music and memories smashed into pieces.

Boy was I lucky to have bought a ticket to see the show. What an event! I’ll never forget it.”

in Track 1 from 2’30 to 5’30.

John Coltrane tenor sax
Joe Henderson tenor sax
Joe Brazil alto sax
Unknown Ten on track 01
Sonny ‘Red’ Kyner alto sax
Hugh Lawson piano

  2. Woody’n You (8:10)
  3. Paul’s Pal (13:12)
  4. Sweet Georgia Brown (12:34)

The coltrane reference provides the following analysis of the contents

After each tune there are a few seconds of talking and practising;
on 1 solos are:
Sonny red Kyner (alto)
Trane
Probably Joe Brazil
Donald Towns (Tr)
Unknown Ten
Joe Henderson

on 2 Coltrane does not solo;
on 3 Joe Henderson solos first, followed by Coltrane and
on 4 Coltrane solos first followed by Henderson, and it is at a very fast tempo.

Joe Henderson found a copy of this tape in his basement in his house
in San Francisco on September 28, 1991, the day Miles Davis died.
There’s a pic of Joe H with the cassette tape of this jam in Fuji.
