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!

Lineage: WGLD-FM Radio broadcast > n generation tape > TEAC Tape Deck AD-RW900 > Creative Sound Blaster Recon 3D >

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.

  4. Split Decision
  5. Voodoo Chile
  6. Sweet Home Chicago < You Better Watch Yourself (encore)
  7. Drowning On Dry Land (encore)

Note: a few seconds of “Sweet Home Chicago” are missing because the recorder was in the process of saving the WAV file as it reached the maximum size limit.
Originally recorded in 48kHz, the maximum size of the WAV (which is 2Gb) was reached about 125 minute into the show (during the encore). The recorder saved the file, and continued recording in another WAV file. But, a little snippet was lost in the process. You’ll hear an abrupt edit in an other wise excellent, nearly error-free recording with minimal crowd distraction.

Band:

Eric Clapton – Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Vocals
Steve Winwood – Keyboards, Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Vocals
Chris Stainton – Keyboards
Willie Weeks – Electric Bass Guitar
Abe Laboriel, Jr. – Drums
Michelle John – Vocals
Sharon White – Vocals

Roy’s impression:

WOW – great show and one of the best concert tours of the year. The decision to bring on Buddy Guy seemed to have been spontaneous. After “Voodoo Chile,” Eric turned to Stevie and made a “cut it” gesture (hand across throat). Eric then declined the fresh guitar a stage hand had tried to offer (indicating to me that the stage crew was expecting the usual “Cocaine”) and promptly left the stage. The band left the stage for the usual false exit before the encore, and I noticed an additional amp being wheeled on and mic’ed.
An extra guest during an Eric Clapton show in Chicago can only mean one person – Buddy Guy, the Blues Mayor of the City. Buddy came on stage, and they tore the house down. Buddy played Stevie’s powder blue guitar, which was poorly mic’ed (and inaudible) for the first few minutes of the encore. After the fifteen-minute encore, Eric and Buddy left the stage rather abruptly. There was no final bow from the performers, as is common. Stevie Winwood merely walked off the stage without any acknowledgment from Clapton, and the house lights came on. I’m not sure how the egos of 60-something rock stars are, but I thought it was somewhat remarkable that Clapton seemed to be more interested in ending the show with his arms around Buddy Guy than waving a final farewell and bow with Steve Winwood.

Enjoy! Feedback is welcome.

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.”
