I woke up this morning and looked out my back window and once again it's snowing. I put on a pot of coffee and changed my plans as to what music to play this Sunday Morning. I know most people think of Brand X as a Jazz Extension of The Progressive Rock genre but I consider them more as a Jazz Fusion unit. Either way their music is so fitting for the flurry of large flakes whirl winding around my back yard...

Alright there is some question about the Early & Late show thing actually happened. There is a listing for the Early & Late show set lists on Setlist.fm. I also found at concertarchives.org no listing for 2 shows on March 16 but 1 for the 16th and another on March 19. While others think that Disc 2 is just a better version of the March 16th show. I haven't listened to it that close (just in the background while cooking dinner to make sure it plays well). What I will say id that both discs sound great and it's classic Boston live so Enjoy!

JustDave's Notes:
- Downloaded along with the other files in the Capitol Drop. Show was a mono soundboard recording in one single untracked file. I decoded the file and converted it to stereo with Goldwave v6.83. I then indexed the tracks and re-encoded to flac level 8 aligning sector boundaries with Trader's Little Helper. Original files lineage is actually unknown as the recorded dropped them without the actual lineage or any other info included.
- Thank you to the original taper and the uploader!

JustDave's Notes:
- Thank You so much Sam Elliot's Mustache for lending his vinyl for encoding!
- As always a huge thank you to my fellow members of The Collective Of Live Music for help and inspiration.

Known Flaws:
- The vinyl had a bit of the little "dimples" that vinyl can have. These usually can't be heard. Unfortunately some made audible noise.
- There is a long ambient keyboard intro and outro on the song "America" which was very hard to clean up there will be some vinyl "artifacts" that are still noticeable. These were not able to be cleaned up without doing more hard to the sound of the recording so they were left as is.

Recording Notes:
- Recording is said to be at The Ritz in New York City, New York. An internet search finds the date April 3, 1987 listed on both setlist.fm and concertarchives.org.

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 Comments:
- Paul Kantner formed The KBC Band in 1985 shortly after leaving Jefferson Starship and finishing  of court procedings between  Kantnar, Grace Slick and Bill Thompson.
- The KBC Band unfortunately did not last more than one album and the following tour. Kantner went on to re-form The Jefferson Airplane. It seems Paul Kantner was on a constant musical search for something during the 1980s.

JustDave's Notes:
- A huge debt of gratitude is owed to Sam Elliot's Mustache for aending his King Biscuit vinyls for encoding.
- Thank you to my fellow members of The Collective Of Live Music for continued help and inspiration.

Recording Notes:
- There is a locked groove tone at the beginning of Side A for the DJs to set levels before broadcasting the show. it was not encoded.
- There are 2 locked groove promo beds at the end of Side B. They were encoded and moved to the end of the recording.
- Program is on 2 vinyl LPs with only 3 side containing music the 4th side is blank.

Known Faults:
- Cue sheet says Ellen Foley's "What's A Mater Baby (Is It Hurting You)" is at the end of the show. It is actually between "Rock 'N Roll Hoochie Koo" and "Love In Action"
- Some small markings on each side not many at all made any noise.
- Ellen Foley's "What's A Mater Baby (Is It Hurting You)" is misnamed on the cue sheet as "Is She Hurting You"

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:
- The concert billed as A Special Evening with Rick Derringer and Friends was a benefit show
- The benefit was for Rick Derringer himself, after having his truck full of equipment stolen at a prior show.
- During Elen Foley's "What's A Mater Baby (Is It Hurting You)" she ad-libs a line about the theft saying "Let Me tell You it could be a lot worse...You could have had all Your equipment stolen."
- All guest artists also played their own set although they were shorter than a normal set
- I have included a write up about the show with links to the reference pages I got my info from.
- The Rick Derringer set was released as a King Biscuit Flower Hour CD release called Rick Derringer And Friends, however the only friend included on that CD is Edgar Winter.
- Ellen Foley would be known to most Rockers of the era for her guest spot on Meatloaf's "Paradise By The Dashboard Light". Ellen Foley was replaced on the tours by Karla Devito.
- Question, is it me or does the very beginning of "On My Way Up" sound a bit like "The Peter Gun Theme"?

JustDave's Notes:
Cover Art downloaded from Discogs, my scanner is too small for album art

Compilation of dates from Frank Zappa's Last Tour in The United States 1988. Three vinyl editions were released. There was this edition which has 2 black vinyl LPs. There was an edition that had 2 blue LPs, also another that was 1 Pink LP and 1 Blue LP. There has also been a CD with only 14 tracks, ending with "Florentine Pogen". Tracks sound like monitor mix but are very good to excellent audience recordings. There are a lot of tracks that have fades between them.

Frank Zappa did release a live album from this tour, none of these tracks appear to have been used. Matter of fact all songs on Broadway The Hard Way were constructed from more than one performance matrixed together.

The date listed as Detroit, Michigan 02/26/1988 was actually at The Royal Oak Music Theater, Royal Oak, Michigan.

LPs cleaned with the HumminGuru Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaning system prior. The records were then treated with D4 applied with a velvet cloth. A Zerostat Positive Ion gun was used prior to a flat transfer to CD-r. Large pops were removed manually with Goldwave small ones were left.

This 2LP set was given to me by an Aunt when she heard I collected bootlegs. She admitted it was not in that great of shape, however it sounds pretty good after cleaning.

Now there is a long notes section on how this show was recorded and how it was remastered and reconstructed. I didn't post it all here but it is still included on the info text in the art & info folder. There was a bit of work done and the show does really have good sound. Bill Evans is a great pianist, this show is a compilation from a 9 day stint at Arènes et Jardins de Cimiez, in Nice France. Bill's Trio is joined by some great guests including Stan Getz and Lee Konitz. I bet this will make a great listen in the evening with a glass of wine and a bowl of some nice green stuff.

This is a really good sounding recording from Outlaw Country Legend David Allen Coe. Sounds like it was ripped from a vinyl bootleg source. Joining David on this recording is none other than guitar wizard Warren Haynes. Fans of David hold this particular band in high regard, some going as far as saying that this is the best era of David's career. I must say I see this as one of many high water marks in a long career. If you love Outlaw Country, David Allen Coe or just good Country Music this boot should not be missed.

David Allen Coe is the living embodiment of Outlaw Country, having spent plenty of time in correctional facilities starting with reform school at age 9. Coe spent the next 20 years in and out of jail cells. He was convinced to start his career in music by none other than Screamin' Jay Hawkins who he spent time with in prison. He came to the attention of Country Music insiders by living in a hearse outside of the Grand Ole Opry. Soon he was writing hit singles for the like of Tanya Tucker,  Billie Jo Spears, and Johnny Paycheck. These hits furthered his own recording career. When the I.R.S seized his home in Key West, Florida, Coe moved into a cave in Tennessee! To paraphrase one of David's songs .. If that ain't outlaw country, I'll kiss your Ass.

In 1999 Coe met Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrel Abbott, struck by the similarities between country music and heavy metal the 2 started to work on Rebel Meets Rebel a County Metal hybrid that was released 2 years after Dimebag's murder at the hands of a crazed fan of Pantera.

I keep asking myself "How have I not posted this Pre-FM Dave Mason recording before now?" Ultimately I guess I have to quote Dr. Hook & The Medacine Show "I got stoned and I missed it." So while looking through my stuff, stoned, I found it again. So after getting more stoned I listened to it again and this is where we are now, posting it for all of you (before I forget gain). The original uploader did not specify if this was a King Biscuit, or Westwood One or any other broadcast show, just that it was a Pre-FM CD source. So if anybody can identify that for us (I'm looking at you Drftervoi...lol) please let us know.

This is show 1 of the BigO Jazz Archive that I kept (I'll be sharing more). I have quite a bit of their Jazz posts some of which I have shared before. So those of you who visited BigO frequently may have this one. I've included the notes from BigO's post below.

This show is a killer performance from a line-up you would expect nothing less from. Don Cherry, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden, and Paul Motian. Each one a Legend in his own right joining forces to blow a lot of minds in 1 hour. It doesn't get any better than this!

What BigO said about this post:

Thanks to TomP, ricola, Unclewolfi and goody for sharing the show at Dime.

+ + + + +

Because there was a problem with the audio in the original FM source, it was in mono which is what you’ll get in the first track here. Unclewolfi’s capture of the rest of the show is in brilliant and gorgeous stereo. There’s always a possibility of the station airing the complete show in stereo one day as they often do which will make this edition unnecessary, should it ever emerge.

JustDave's Notes:
 After downloading I decoded the flac, converted the wave to stereo, raised the volume, then indexed the tracks all with Goldwave v6.83.

This uncirculated Squeeze concert comes from a large drop of concerts from The Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY at Guitars101. The poster's name I can not remember because the posts disappeared pretty quick but they were dropped under the title of You Did Not Get This From Me. This is a very clear recording leading me to believe it is from a digital soundboard. The shows were uploaded as untracked single files and were mono. I resampled this one as "stereo" with Goldwave, indexed the tracks and raised the volume. I didn't do anything else than that. Squeeze Fans Need This In There Collections!!! This is a great show and was from the day before a Livestream Broadcast on YouTube of the Capitol show on the 30th.

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.

- Trade cassette of a low generation, I'm sorry I can not remember the name of the trader. All respect to the original taper and trader is given. This trade happened many years ago.
- Thank you to my fellow members of The Collective Of Live Music for help and inspiration!

Recording Notes:
- Tape was traded to me as a soundboard recording but with it's full audience sound it must be a broadcast recording.

Editing Notes:
- Recording and editing done in 24bit/96khz.
- There is a tape flip between "Catherine Blake" and "She is the Dark" a crossfade was done for continuous play.
- There was a small drop out between "She is the Dark" and "The Dreadful Hours" I had to fix.
- No EQ, noise reduction or any other sound tampering was done.

Other Notes:
- I've heard them called Funeral Doom or Gothic Doom, either fits. This recording from their 2004 appearance at Waldrock finds them in fine form.
- The sound quality is very good. The only hicups are the last few seconds of final track "The Dreadful Hours" is cut off and the above mentioned small drop out.

JustDave's Notes:
- A Big Thank You! to Sam Elliot's Mustache for sending his vinyl for encoding.
- Thank You to my fellow members of The Collective Of Live Music for help and inspiration.

Known Faults:
- Although a beautiful set of vinyl, there are some marks here and there that made some thumps.
- There may be some little spots here and there that could not be cleaned up without acually marring the sound in a different way so they were left alone.
- There is a dimple thump at the beginning of track 01 "King Biscuit Flower Hour #KB-501 Intro & Break" that could not be removed without leaving an "artifact" from the editing that sounds as bad as the thump so it was left alone.

Recording Notes:
- There is a test tone at the beginning of side A for DJs to set levels in the studio before airing the program, it was not encoded
- There was no show promos included in this set.
- There was no "King Biscuit Intro" after commercial number 1, instead the House MC introduces The Romantics.

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:
- The Romantics were the most successful band to emerge from Detroit's initial New Wave/Power Pop/Punk scene releasing 5 National Albums on Nemperor Records spawning 11 National Singles including the Billboard Number 1 "Talking In Your Sleep"
- When The Romantics portion of this show was recorded they were riding on the success of the album In Heat and it's single "Talking In Your Sleep".
- The Romantics could not match the success of In Heat with it's follow up. The band's line up started to fluctuate and their label would lose interest dropping them in 1986 due to poor album and concert ticket sales.
- The Nick Heyward set comes during his debut tour as a solo artist, having been dismissed from Haircut 100 in January 1983.
- Nick Heyward already had recorded some solo tracks already and decided to finish the album and go solo.
- Nick's set is only 4 songs 2 of which are from his album with Haircut 100.
- "Little Latin Lupe Lou", first recorded by The Righteous Brothers, became a Punk Rock staple after The Kingsmen's  1964 single of the song was rediscovered by emerging Punk Rockers of the 1970s. The Romantics have been including the song in their sets since their beginning. They however never recorded it for an album.
- The Romantics live cover of "Route 66 (Nat King Cole)" is only available on this King Biscuit Flower Hour broadcast. It has not been released by the band or on the King Biscuit Records release either, which is long out of print by the way. It's not even on the bootleg version of this recording called One Night In Texas: Live 1983 The Complete San Antonio Broadcast which is a 17 track release of the concert.

- Thank you to my fellow members of The Collective Of Live Music.
- Thank you to Danibus for letting me copy his cassette of this show.
- Thank you WWWW-FM Detroit and your staff for being a big part of my teenage years and for programing and promoting Homegrown Michigan Rock & Roll.

Known Faults:
- The original recording was made on a red labeled Kmart 90 minute cassette tape on a Kmart stereo system cassette recorder with non-adjustable recording levels and no dolby settings.
- Tape does show some age and limitations of the original tape recorder.
- There is some sound phasing and drop outs in spots from the original cassette.

Recording Notes:
- This concert was broadcast on WWWW-FM Detroit's Homegrown Show that featured Michigan bands studio recordings and live concerts.
- Tape was amongst a large group of tapes in a box in my basement some with no labels, cases or j-cards that I rediscovered after a large move.

Editing Notes:
- Recording and editing done in 24bit/96khz.
- I created fades at the beginning and ending of the show.
- No noise reduction, EQ or sound tampering was done tape was encoded warts and all other than above stated fades.

Other Notes:
- This is a very early show for the Romantics, their first LP hadn't been released yet, just the single "Tell It To Carrie".
- The single was first released on The W4 Homegrown Show LP, an album released by the radio station to promote it's local music program.
- WWWW, or W4 as we Detroiters called it, was one of 3 FM Album Rock stations in Detroit. WRIF, WABX, & WWWW. WLLZ would come later.
- W4 was the radio station in the movie Private Parts, where Howard Stern was known as Hopalong Howie. That was after the station had went country
- W4 also was one of the first radio stations in the country to broadcast in quadraphonic.
- The Michigan Punk/New Wave scene would explode with talent around this time, The Romantics were a spark of that explosion.
- "Running Away", "She Knows Me", and "Comin' Back Home" have not been released.
