Radio Interview/Set w/Vin Scelsa, host
Broadcast on WNEW-FM (Rebroadcast 3/24/96)

Tom Waits-vocals, piano
Ralph Ebler-snare, hi-hat

From the text on the front insert:

“This was a show that I recorded with Tom in December of 1976 that was originally broadcast on WNEW during my first sojourn at the station. I played this one-hour rare tape tonight as my contribution to the station’s “From The Archives Weekend.” Tom and I, and drummer Ralph Ebler, taped this at a recording studio in town – Tom at the piano, Ralph on snare drum and hi-hat; it was unrehearsed, unscripted and totally cool! This is the first time the show has been aired in its entirety since the original broadcast almost 20 years ago.” – Vin Scelsa

I’m listing this as an FM recording, because I don’t know for sure that it isn’t; there is no 19 KHz pilot tone on it to identify it as an FM recording.
The original files ran at the wrong speed, and there was a pretty serious channel imbalance. I corrected the pitch to A=440, matched the levels and ran phase correction on the whole program, then resplit the tracks and converted to FLAC.

This show has been posted to TTD one other time, on 10-08-07 by Flick, as a transfer from an 8-track cartridge, which he says was captured in mono due to poor reception, and he did some noise reduction on it due to massive tape hiss, and there were some dropouts and tape damage. It’s also missing the last two songs. The version I’m posting sounds as close to perfect as you are likely to get, and it includes the two extra songs.

A really lovely Bragg show. It comes from a radio show and there are a number of interview questions before each song, but Bragg is such an interesting person his comments are hilarious and brilliant and wonderful. Just a joy to listen to. Musically it is just Bragg by himself playing an acoustic guitar, but the sound is really good.

I really should like Gram Parsons more than I do.  He encompasses so much of what I love about music.  He virtually created alternative country, or country rock. He sang with Emmylou Harris.  He made the Byrds tolerable awesome. He was in a band called the Flying Burrito Brothers and if that ain’t a great name, I don’t know what is. He had one of the most spectacular/strange burials of all time.

All of these things are excellent and should be praised (well maybe not the weird death, but that’s just legendary.) I should love Gram Parsons. Yet every time I listen to him there seems to be something missing. I can’t put my finger on it exactly. I like his voice, I like his songs, but something doesn’t gel. Maybe it is some faulty wiring in my old noggin.

This concert though, I can’t complain about. It is Gram (and sometimes Emmylou) singing and playing and having a grand time. The sound, well let’s just say you can tell the recording is older than I am, but it still sounds good. If you like Gram, and you really should, then this is an excellent chance to see what he sounded like live.
