LDB Vintage Series #030

Hi there! After closing both my Master and Special series I took a break from seeding, enjoying life and most of all
preparing for a new series! This is not going to be as frequent as my previous ones, I’ll be seeding shows from time
to time so don’t expect massive volumes here.

Why a “vintage” series? Because music in the 70’s and 80’s was really something…so different, so special with “that” kind
of sound which you don’t find anymore. That was the era of real music without the internet, of long tours and enjoyable live
shows spanning from metal to new wave, progressive, jazz, fusion, pop. So many bands were born and disappeared during those
two decades.

I am then celebrating the 70’s and the 80’s and their unmistakeable sound in this LDB Vintage Series. You will find many bands
I have never seeded in the past but that I still enjoy listening to. Most of these come from low generation tapes that were traded
around that period, many radio broadcasts and overall lots of surprises.

Hope you will enjoy this new series!

Ray Manzanek: piano, organ, lead vocals
Robby Krieger: lead guitar, vocals
John Densmore: drums, percussion
Jack Conrad: bass guitar
Bobby Ray Henson: rhythm guitar, percussion, backing vocals

This was the first show of the “Full Circle” tour, the last tour they did before disbanding, which concluded at the
Hollywood Bowl in September that year. Of course they have reunited many times since then, but I guess we should consider
this as the last tour.

Believe it or not, I much prefer this tour and album than the Jim Morrison ones. Here the band was somehow on a creative
peak, mixing rock, blues, a bit of jazz and funk. A great blend of music. Verdillac is such a great listen!

Incredibly there are no shows currently on DIME with the post-Morrison line-up. Hope I have filled the gap. This is a nice
radio broadcast from WGLD in Chicago. Good listen, shortie but goodie. I guess a good companion to the Beat Club footage
from the same year that you can find on youtube.

Enjoy!

There are no fades applied to this recording; if you choose to burn to CD, the above splits are just a suggestion.

Comments: This recording captures the first of two nights of the Rolling Stones in Chicago on the last dates of the U.S. leg of their “Hackney Diamonds” tour. Great show, with a good mix of material from the 1960s through today, including four songs from their most recent album. Sound quality is pretty good but not great; I was in the front row of the section right off the floor at roughly the 50-yard line; as a result, there was minimal crowd interference (there was nobody in front of me) but I wasn’t as close to the PA as I would have liked. Overall I was happy with this recording, and in the absence of other sources I would imagine that most Stones fans will be too.

In terms of performances, the Stones are always entertaining at this stage of their career, although there were some noticeable flubs. Listen to the opening notes of “Start Me Up” and “Satisfaction” to hear some clunkers from Keith. It’s not the 1970s anymore but this band still delivers better than most rock bands a generation (or more) younger. Overall an enjoyable recording.

Notes:
1st gen from the JEMS vaults. The recording is listenable but primative sounding. It is still probably an upgrade to most circulating copies of this recording as it is and is the 1st time this particular tape has ever been properly digitized in any form (Dec 2010).

“I got this from the guy that taped it after meeting him at a record show in Chicago. Features “Daddy Rolling Stone” and a early long version of Magic Bus most likely featuring a young Bobby Pridden on additional percussion at the beginning with Keith.”
