Oldest bootleg not yet commercially released by Pink Floyd. Some Pink Floyd databases say that it has terrible sound. That it's not worth listening to....But it is! It's actually not a terrible recording just not a perfect recording. To hear what they were doing live with Syd Barrett as their leader makes this even better. I played it for Rosebud and she said that I should go ahead and post it, just not with her name on it. When I play her any Pink Floyd before Dark Side Of The Moon she's not too interested. She did comment that Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd is much different live than on The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn.

At this time I am reading a book called Saucerful Of Secrets The Pink Floyd Odyssey by Nicholas Schaffner. In it he describes arguments between Syd, the rest of the band and the bands management that they should be playing their hit singles. Syd wanted nothing to do with it preferring the Psychedelic Experiments that The Floyd had been playing before being signed. Syd Barrett was in charge then, he wrote the songs, he was the star, he got his way (thank God!). I'm actually re-reading the thing. I am right at the part where Syd is starting to break, which is during a tour with Jimi Hendrix. If you like books about bands I recommend it, I'm re-reading it using bootlegs of each period as reading music. I have a lot of Pink Floyd bootlegs.

I know that I have stated on this blog before that I am not much of a Bob Dylan fan. I am not a huge fan but I do like some eras of Dylan's music. I really love the Christian Rock Era of Slow Train Comin' and Saved. I also absolutely love Bob Dylan & The Band's live album Before The Flood. I'm not such a fan of the solo guitar Folky stuff but electric Dylan is pretty good. My Dad loved the song "Lay Lady Lay" so he had a tape of Nashville Skyline on 8-track in his car. I have a deep connection with that one and some of my earliest childhood memories. It reminds me of when my Dad came home from the Viet Nam War. He left the year I was born. He came back when I was 5. That year I met my Dad and never needed another hero.

 
The title of this bootleg comes from the fact that Mike Bloomfield died shortly after this gig.

Now my first copy of Bob Dylan & The Band's Before The Flood came from my cousin Jamie who I have written about on this blog (Rest In Peace My Droog & Brother). He called and said he had some tapes for me that he had "found some where". Which I confess could mean an open car window. He came over with my Grandparents holding a bag of 8-tracks saying "I'm pretty sure I seen these bands in your collection." There was Jethro Tull's War Child, Rory Gallagher's Calling Card, Edgar Winter Group's They Only Come Out At Night, and Before The Flood. We popped in the Rory Gallagher because he was the only one I didn't know. Instant fandom, I mean Calling Card blew me away. I had just received my first musician biography as a present, it was about Bob Dylan (I still have it). I figured I would listen to Before The Flood while I read it. I laughed my self silly when I read that during his High School days Bob Dylan wanted to be Little Richard & Jerry Lee Lewis. There was a story that he wanted to impress some girl so he played her his whole Little Richard catalog with all the moves included (can you see Bob Dylan with his leg on a piano singing Lucille?). Can't remember the outcome but he did go Folk soon after that.

Flac files are large so the CDs are uploaded separately and will open separately.
