JustDave's Notes:
- The Collective Of Live Music owes Sam Elliot's Mustache a huge debt of graditude for sending his vinyl for encoding.
- A Big Thank You to Draftervoi for once again snooping out the elusive concert date for another Collective release.
- The more of these shows I edit for SAM the more grateful I am for this thing we call music. I am listening to more bands and styles of music that I would never have listened to in my younger days which is saying a lot. I live music, I am a vocalist, play drums and bass. I have worked as an engineer, producer, and as a musician. Lately I just have been amazed at how music touches that thing inside me we call a soul and lifts my mind and body.

Recording Notes:
- There is a locked groove "Ovu" Test Tone at the beginning of Side A used by DJs to set volume and balance levels before broadcasting. It has been encoded and placed in it's own folder so it will not be accidentally played.
- There are 2 locked groove promo bed at the end of Side B with music by Franke & The Knockouts, one with a voice over from Bill Minkin, one without. They have been encoded and moved to the end of the program.
- The Dregs portion of the show was broadcast in entirerty before being picked up and edited by King Biscuit Flower Hour.
- During one of his talks to the audience Franke Previte says "God it's early" leading me to believe the Franke & The Knockouts portion of the show may be a Coffee Break Concert At The Agora in Cleveland.

Editing Notes:
- A Zerostat Positive Ion gun was used on LPs prior to playback.
- A carbon fiber record brush, then a microfiber disc cleaner was used on the records prior to playback.
- Records hand cleaned with Record Research Lab Super Record Wash before playback.
- LP cleaned with the HumminGuru Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaning System using distilled water prior to playback.
- Raw transfer: EQ off, treble and bass levels set at +/- zero for most accurate sound of LP.
- Turntable & tone arm balanced: Needle Tracking & Azimuth set: Needle Pressure & Antiskid digitaly set:
- Computer Soundcard stereo field maximized.
- Goldwave set to record while filtering any DC Offset.
- Recording and all editing done in 24bit/96khz.
- Preservation being key the show is encoded complete with commercials and voiceovers.
- Declicked manually and some noise reduction used depending on what best served the situation.
- Raised the volume of the commercials to match that of the music and voice overs.
- A rumble filter with an initial cut off of 50khz and a static steepness of 2 was used to lessen the needle noise on the commercials due to having to raise the volume to match that of the music and voice overs.

Other Notes:
- Franke & The Knockouts had a pretty good beginning. Their eponymous debut album had hit a respectible No 31 and spawned a Top Ten Billboard Hit with the # 10 "Sweatheart" which also hit #13 in Cashbox. Their follow up album Below The Belt hit No 48 with the single "Without You (Not Another Lonely Night)" hitting #24 on Billboard and #22 on Cashbox. The Album Oriented Hard Rock genre would be swallowed up by Hair Metal by time Franke & The Knockouts released their thid album.
- Tico Torres who played drums on the tour would leave Franke & The Knockouts for fame and fortune in the Hair Metal band Bon Jovi.
- Band leader Franke Previte would go on to song writing fame and fortune with the song "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" hit which went Platinum when used in the motion picture Dirty Dancing's soundtrack sung by Bill Medley and Jenifer Wells. Previte also hit Multi-Platinum with the Dirty Dancing single "Hungry Eyes' sung by Eric Carmen formerly of The Raspberries.
- The Dixie Dregs in a move to garner more radio airplay shortened their name to The Dregs in 1981. They also decided to write some songs with vocals in 1982. For those songs Alex Ligertwood of Santan and Patrick Simmons of The Doobie Brothers were used in the studio. Alex Ligertwood would appear live with The Dregs to perform the vocals. This didn't improve the bands commercial apeal so the band split up in 1983.
- Steve Morse would go on to form The Steve Morse Band, play guitar for Kansas, then Deep Purple. Rod Morgenstein would join Hair Metal band Winger and the Pro group Rudess/Morgenstein Project. Andy West went on to session and live work that put him into high demand. T. Lavitz went on to work with Jazz Is Dead a Grateful Dead Jazz Cover Band. Original violinist Alan Sloan studied medicine at Medical College of Georgia, earing an Anesthesiology residency. His replacement Mark O'Conner who had won Nashville's Grand Masters Fiddle Championship prior to joining has gone on to play more sessions than I could list here. Alex Ligertwood sang with Santana from 1979's Marathon til 1985's Beyond Appearances.

JustDave's Notes:
When I downloaded this from The Traders Den it was 6 files. The songs had not been indexed and the test tone was included. I didn't include the test tone in this file set. I decoded the original flac files then separated the tracks using Goldwave v5.04. I then re-encoded the tracks using Traders Little Helper aligning all sector boundary errors. The show was originally uploaded as being from Sunrise Florida but after discussion on The Traders Den it was determined this was a Pre-FM of the Ypsilanti, Michigan gig.

JustDave's Notes:
This comes from our Collective Of Live Music Associate Draftervoi. Draftervoi posts his Collective rips at The Voodoo Wagon Blog. You should check out what our assciate Draftervoi has been dropping at The Wagon for more great live music!

Draftervoi's Original Upload Notes:
By Special Request from Germany!

The big mystery on this one is the source and date of the Go material.  Our pal Bill Minkin introductes it as Go "recorded in England in 1976." I've got a newspaper clipping from the Acton Gazette that says "Japanese percussionist Stomu Yamash'ta has formed an exciting new group featuring Stevie Winwood, which is about to go on the road.  Only one British date has been arranged, and will take place at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday."  That gives us a date of May 29, 1976.

Well, we don't trust, we verify. Or at least try to verify.  Over at Concert Vault they have a Go show identified as "Palais des Sports, Paris, France June 12, 1976."  The Concert Vault version of "Man of Leo" has the same vocal of "come on, get your hands together" at the start as the KBFH "London" version.

The two versions are from the same show. My understanding is the Paris show was the source of the official release Go...Live From Paris, and that the Vault tracks don't match the official release.

Klaus-schulze.com lists only these two shows (London and Paris).  No other concerts are listed.

I'm going with the London date.  My conclusion is that streaming version has wrong date and venue.

Now...Is that Wilson Pickett on the second Budweiser commercial?

=============

This is another in the KING BISCUIT KLONE series.  It's number 11, if you're keeping count.

The concept is to duplicate the contents of the syndicated radio show, but with the content tracked.  This allows for easy navigation to the track you desire, and allows the user to drop the commercials if they are of no interest.  

And yeah, I'm including the "test tone" but it's tracked as "00" because I know you're going to drop it, and this way you don't have to renumber everything.

Joe Cocker on King Biscuit:

The show recorded at Chance was the source of many KBFH show.  It's up at Concert Vault with 17 tracks.

The first appearance was three weeks after the concert with the August 22, 1982 broadcast date, edited down to seven tracks (the remainder was by Marshall Crenshaw).

Look What You've Done
Feelin Alright
Shocked
Seven Days
Watchin The River Flow
Hitchcock Railway
The Letter

The next appearance was this show, with six tracks.

Tracks from the Chance show were broadcast every year from 1991 to 1999.  I don't have set lists, but it looks like 10 to 12 tracks were used every year.

This great show from a really awesome band is for our longtime friend shmoopatties. He recently asked me if I had heard of them and I hadn't. He asked if I could use my snooping out powers to try and find a couple gigs that he knew about. This was one of them, I found it on the Traders Den torrent tracker posted by Innerear. There is a remastered version floating around the internet which I do not have a copy of yet, but I will.

You may not know the band leader Stomu Yamashta but you may know his drummer Michael Shrieve of Santana fame. The band was founded by Stomu Yamashta along with, Al DiMeola, Steve Winwood, and Michael Shrieve when each of the musicians were in between musical projects. They released a studio album and played some gigs, I'm not sure if Al DiMeola or Steve Winwood ever appeared on stage with the band or not but Michael Shrieve was there all the way.

Fans of such Progressive bands like National Health, or Jazz Fusion bands would most likely become fans of Stomu Yamashta's Go. The rich soulful vocals and fantastic instrumentation made an instant fan of this old Headbanger!

JustDave's Notes:
This is a raw soundboard with warts and all, there was a bit of work by the team that brought us this rare gem. There is volume fluctuations, hiss, amplifier hum and some other issues. The team that worked the recording did not do a complete remaster more like rough finish construction work. I have left the comments about the source and work already done. I've been listening to this one quite a bit since I downloaded it. I think it's a very enjoyable listen flaws and all. Someone will most likely give it a remaster sooner or later until then we have to enjoy what we have.

Notes:
Light mastering, tagging, circulation and these notes by Tyler RH aka Mr. Completely in 2023. Source material provided via, and research by, Key Man Jesse Jarnow. Extensive and insightful setlist and instrumentation parsing by Jeremy Erwin. Many thanks to both of them.

About The Performance:
- Per the SF Examiner listing, billed as "an evening of spiritual music."
- A fascinating progression of pieces, some of them seemingly unique to this performance.
- We would love any information about the accompanist(s) described above, or any other aspects of the show.
- God Then also appears in the Illuminations sessions
- The two Alice Coltrane solo pieces do not correspond to any composition or existing track we can find. We believe them to be improvisations and have labeled them thus.
- Africa is of course the John Coltrane song of that title.

About The Recording And Mastering Process:
- Provided in a lossless audio format with no information beyond a mildly incorrect date and location. Jesse corrected the date; the SF Examiner listing he found is provided.
- Presumably from the quality of the recording a reel to reel master was made from the soundboard and at least one, possibly a few, analog generations exist between that master and the digital transfer.
- The files provided contained many minor flaws. Due to the historic nature of this file set I have chosen to correct very few of them, using minimally invasive methods, for this initial version. The recording merits and could benefit from professional remastering. So I tried not to do anything that would get in the way of that.
- I joined all the files together using very minor splices and overlaps. No music was edited.
- I fixed the many clipping errors, but did nothing else to the levels.
- The pieces in the first half of the show are introduced by the artists.
- Jeremy and I figured out the rest of them.
- Details of instrumentation were determined by Jeremy. Thanks again for that excellent work.
- The original file set came with the studio sessions for the Illuminations album, which we will circulate as a separate file set. The recordings are at least approximately contemporaneous and together represent a significant addition to the available archival material relating to this era of Alice Coltrane's career. It has been our honor and privilege to work on this historic material.

This is yet another great sounding show from Santana's 1973 tour. We posted another not to long ago that included a newspaper article with a kind of bad review. This one includes another review, this time with a slightly better view of the show. When this one surfaced (and I don't remember when) it was an uncirculated 1973 soundboard.

I love this era of Santana, quite frankly Santana didn't lose me as a listener until "Smooth". That was only slightly so don't hate, I only skip that song. It feels like a very obvious grab for The Charts. Also my daughter, when she was a teen, wore me out on Rob Thomas and Matchbox 20. Sorry just don't care for them, my personal opinion. A lot of fans did abandon Santana at the changes that came with Caravanserai. The out right Jazz on the album wasn't a welcome departure from the Latin Rock of the first three albums. Then some fans turned their backs at the Hard Rock albums like Inner Secrets and Marathon. I've stuck with Santana through all of the changes except for one song so I guess could be a fan.

This is one bad ass performance, for those who love this era of Santana. The band has moved into a very Jazz oriented music mode leaving, for the most part, the Latin Rock behind. The audience response is kind of a little laid back. The local news paper critics (remember those?) all were not impressed. This package must have been put together by Draftervoi (some of you will get the joke) because you get a few of these news articles included with the cover art. Obviously in hind sight the Jazz era of Santana is seen as just another phase of a Great Musicians musical journey...which continues o. If you haven't heard any of the soundboard releases from the Las Vegas Residency you need to seek them out. I have 3 but I do believe they are commercial releases so I can not share them here. Only a one word review needed AWESOME!! So find them.

justdave's notes:
I compiled this from different bootlegs in my collection. Quite a few bands have covered Jimi Hendix songs over the years. My choices are not meant to represent the best of these cover versions just ones that I like. The surprises out of the recordings showcased here would have to be Concrete Blonde's version of "Castles Made Of Sand" or Earth, Wind & Fire's cover of "Machine Gun". Some sources were lossy and some were not so I encoded everything to MP3 320kbps. All recordings were of soundboard quality (ie Pre-FM, FM & Soundboard). I tried to adjust the volume of the tracks so they were more uniform using Goldwave.

Hope you enjoy it, I have a couple similar projects in the works.

Our Sunday Morning Jazz offerings for this week start with a classic show from the Carlos Santana Wayne Shorter  collaboration. I know there will be some Jazz Purists who will think this isn't a real Jazz performance. I believe it's a great way to introduce people who wouldn't normally download a Jazz bootleg to the talents of The Legendary Wayne Shorter.

6 Degrees Of Led Zeppelin Post # 16

When Neil Schon was an up & coming guitarist in the California music scene, 2 very gifted guitarists wanted him in their band. Carlos Santana wanted to add a fuller guitar sound to the live shows, plus give himself a guitar player to play off of, to stretch his abilities.

The other guitar player was non other than Eric Clapton who wanted Neil Schon to join his band Derek & The Dominoes. Neil chose to join Santana.

Eric Clapton of course was guitarist for The Yardbirds before Jimmy Page joined the band.
