an absolutely smokin' band which 64 year old ian's put together - but there's weirdness here (i'll reprint what i posted elsewhere):
although it's great to hear thick as a brick live, again - it's interesting that it sure sounds like this guy on 'additional vocals and theater' is stepping in for some fairly key parts which are perhaps a touch too 'vigorous' for ian anderson to pull off in great succession these days. i wonder if he's ever done that before.
...of course ian's also playing his flute parts (and VERY well) and likely doing some of his showman prancing about, but it's fairly obvious when this other guy takes over the vocal, that it's not anderson's very unique timbre and phrasing - at least the ian anderson of those days, on those records. accomodations i guess.
if you're in the venue, of course you know, but hearing it happening on a recording like this gets a bit jarring.
TAAB is no doubt a very difficult live piece to pull off, but you can hear moments where it seems like anderson is just baaaarely hanging on, 'rapping' through a couple of stanzas and being terribly 'off' multiple times - but you've got to picture him, pacing, playing and trying to get back to his mike (perhaps) right on cue.
ain't easy at ANY age.
musically, this is fantastically spot on however (on my first listen-through, w/10 min left on track 4, TAAB's magnificent finish), though it's a disappointment that just now, the slow 'do you believe'-section is sung by the other guy and not ian anderson. argh.
well, it is what it is.
and god bless ian anderson for keeping at it.
and thanks again ghostface (and tina and edge....AND the tapers!) for getting this over to us!

ever the 'international man of mystery', yeah! - i googled the title and got a documentary 'Crollo Nervoso -- la New Wave italiana degli anni '80' about precisely these bands and a 'scene' starting in bologna...kinda devo, residents sort of stuff with a cars and/or english beat commercial touch....again very nervous sounding music (like the pigbag i cited above) where it's like you have 3 cups of strong coffee...tho sometimes sounding deathly monotonous, with a weird sort of asymmetricality. like say, devo. interesting. ~ NP:  a bit more organic than ^^^ above, but i dL'd a bunch of their stuff (initially mixing them up with 'grassers, blue highway, oops) and read how well they compare with the tupelos and wilcos of the time. and honestly this IS very good stuff, if a bit hit or miss for the mood i'm in right now....i need a HOT lazy backyard day to play this. but there's several loping rockers on here that really caught me... |

Matt Schofield Trio
20 April 2012
Wanee Music Festival

Live Oak, FL
Source: Studio Projects LSD2 (Blumlein) > Hydra silver XLR > Edirol R-44 (24/48)
Transfer: R-44 > iMac. Tracked and dithered via Sound Studio, FLAC via xACT.
Recorded by Alex Leary (vwmule at gmail.com
...from the generally shitty-quality (variable to 'so-so' and even to 'VG' depending on the house mix) but STILL thoroughly amazing sugarmegs site (h**p://74.108.129.122/latestadditions.aspx) from a show that went off less than 2 weeks ago.
don, these are little tiny downloads with a 60 minute show being about 20Mb, a fraction of grabbing a 320kbps show and these are 90% supremely listenable...
THIS is great recording of a wonderful band - up-and-comer schofield's totally gotten down the texas blues feel of SRV...i'll paste a review from fingal cocoa for another live show which i DID dl (and have not listened to so far):
Matt Schofield Trio - Live at The Jazz Cafe! - 2005 - Nugene
Another name that may be unfamiliar to many rock/blues/jazz fans. The thirty five years old Mancunian, Matt Schofield plays like a blues veteran. This is a wonderful album of blues rock and jazz recorded at The Jazz Cafe, Camden, London, England on April 20th, 2005. Matt is a sublime guitarist, and "Live at The Jazz Cafe!" is a terrific album and a nod in the direction of benchmark players such as BB King, Albert Collins and Robben Ford. In a review of this show, Blues in Britain's editor wrote "The Cream of their generation (and the inference is intentional). Fantastic". Matt's small back up band are also superb musicians and lay down some real sophisticated swing and funk. The following quote is taken from the Nugene record label, - "Schofield’s guitar tone and distinctive phrasing have become highly influential, culminating in Guitar & Bass magazine (3/07) listing Schofield in their Top Ten British Bluesmen of All Time, an accolade that places him alongside the likes of Eric Clapton and Peter Green (although some 30+ years their junior!)". This quote cannot be argued with, and it goes some way to explaining Matt Schofield's importance of as a musician today. To quote the great Robben Ford, "He is one helluva guitarist", and this is a great album, HR by A.O.O.F.C, and should be heard by anybody remotely interested in great music. Matt Schofield will be remembered long after all the Stevie, Eric and Walter wannabes have come and gone. Buy his "Heads, Tails & Aces" album.

Jonas Hellborg - Art Metal Trio -
Live at Quasimodo
Recorded: June 1, 2006
Quasimodo,
Berlin, Germany
CD>dbPowerAmp>FLAC. Excellent sound quality
Jazz, Metal, Fusion | Lossless (Seperate Flac) | 680 Mb | Total Time: 1:42:46 | RS
One thing that distinguishes Hellborg over all other bassists is that you never know what to expect next. Each new release brings a twist or a turn in musical direction and influence, never more true than Hellborg's career after the death of Shawn Lane in the autumn of 2003. Hellborg would continue to mine Carnatic influences on the 2005 album Kali's Son, recorded in India with Hellborg's longstanding percussionists, the Vinayakram brothers. A second release in 2005 was Osmose, a (highly recommended) side project with Jeff Sipe and, instead of guitar, Paul Hanson on bassoon. But early 2006 would bring both a return to Scandinavian roots and also a radical change in style - into Metal Jazz with "Art Metal". The Art Metal project has had two separate line-ups, one live and one studio. Common to both was the replacement of Lane with Swedish metal shredder, Matthias 'IA' Eklund, who progressively leaves behind the delicate tracery of Lane's transcendental signature, and substitutes a harder-edged, chop-dominated drive, returning the music to Western roots. The Art Metal project started in spring 2006 as a live trio of Hellborg and Eklund with Zoltan Czörzs on drums who took a Metal Jazz direction that contrasted strongly with Kali's Son or Osmose. This FM broadcast from June 1st 2006 is the earliest known recording of Art Metal, giving us a glimpse of that heavy stripped-down sound before the studio sessions integrated Selvaganesh Vinayakram and Hellborg's earlier Swedish bandmates, the Johanssen brothers with Jens on keyboards and Anders on drums, making the final CD an exemplary fusion of Indian, jazz and metal influences - Dave Sez.
Thanks Alot to Dr.Fusion & Dave Sez for this Gem!
goes from mahavishnu to 'the cream' on a fucking dime!
of course hellborg was bassist for j mclaughlin for several years as well.
incredible stuff from an incredible bass player who was with the late great shawn lane for a period, until lane died... and is one of the most imaginative musicians i've ever heard.
fearless, this motherfucker, i swear...i just read that one of his albums subsequent to shawn lane's passing was one that he and jeff sipe did, another trio disc like they had w/lane - but instead, they brought in a bassoon player to sub the guitar.
holy shit. and he musta been one hell of a bassoon player, granted.
i haven't heard it yet, but here's where this 'i don't give a shit, i'm gonna PLAY' fearlessness is obvious.
i'm following down this guy's work...

RocDoc: thanks for responding to that! I checked out that documentary on YouTube after you mentioned it and it was cool. That wasn't on my radar so thank you for that.  Carter Tutti Void "Transverse" Members of Throbbing Gristle, Chris and Cosey, and Factory Floor making some amazing exploratory music. Great stuff.  Latest DFA Factory Floor single. Truly futuristic dance music. Good stuff. |

i've read so much heart-felt praise of the guy...plus knowing that at his age he had suffered through the stress of diagnosis and his cancer treatments - i know he was 'somebody' tho his 'music form' certainly escaped me. rest in peace.
for don:
Joe Henry
City Winery, New York, NY
February 1, 2012
Audio Technica AT853 (mono) > Mintbox battery/filter module > Rockboxed iRiver H140 > Audacity > FLAC
Sony PCM-M10 onboard mics > Audacity > FLAC
I recorded with two separate recorders due to my H140 having malfunctioned the previous night; they both came out nicely so I decided to see how they sounded as a matrix. It was greater than the sum of its parts, so I decided to upload the matrixed version. One of the best recordings I've done, I think, in spite of a noisy venue.
Aside from the work done in the process of matrixing the two recordings, in Audacity I did two things. First, increasing volume on one of the two recordings. Second, making an attempt to reduce some audience noise. Second, because the seating in City Winery is very crowded together, my mics picked up one of my neighbors a little too well. I did some individual reduction of his handclaps etc. as well as some overall reduction of volume during the applause sections. (Lest you become annoyed at my neighbor's between-song enthusiasm as picked up by my mics, I'll mention that he and his friend knew I was taping and were very careful during the songs not to make noise with their glassware, and he refilled my glass a few times so I wouldn't have to move around with my mics on. Good people.)
Setlist:
1. Heaven's Escape
2. Heaven's Escape outro / Odetta intro

4. Odetta outro / After the War intro

Bonus Material:
My recording from the night before was in large part a failure - much of the main set was obscured by static from an unknown source (interference, or a bad connection, I don't know). The good news is that only one song all night was different from this show, and I got a clean recording of it. I'm including it here because it was pretty unique and a lot of fun, and I'd hate for you all to miss out on it. It was the last song of the night, and was recorded with the H140 setup mentioned above (without the M10 in the mix).
28. Motel Blues (Loudon Wainwright) (8)
(8) with Loudon Wainwright on vocals
at the sugarmegs site i've been talking about...

hit the alpabetical under 'J' - go to the joe henry 'section' (i think there were 3 shows there) and right click on 'download' and use 'save target as' - it'll prob be 25-some megabytes and take you 2-3 minutes tops.
couldn't make it any easier for ya...it WILL i'm sure be longer than 80 minutes and splitting a wma file into suitable pieces for a CD burn gets a bit involved...but you can listen to it through an iPod (or some such similar) or through your computer speakers.
a 2 month old joe henry performance - a martooni, a cigar - bliss.

MCA's death took a bit out of me...been a Beasties-fan from the start and saw them at the Edenhal supporting Run DMC back in 1988...met them at my store in Amsterdam where I talked quite a bit with Adam too. The video in which he appeared and announced the band had to take a break to allow him to find treatment for cancer really moved me...he seemed very defiant but there was this awareness too, something prescient about what was going on. I thought he was on the mend until I heard he wasn;t at the indution of the Beasties at the Rock 'n Roll Hall Of Fame... And still he left us so incredibly fast, it's so hard to believe. 47, for fuck's sake... Listening to:  AKA Steven Wilson and Mikael Akerfeld (Opeth) in a slow burner of an album. |

'slow burner' is prob accurate - (from the song i just heard on youtube) very much like that live steven wilson set i posted here a couple of weeks ago...long lulls/lulling periods of time, sometimes with a 'payoff' sometimes not...tho with the guy from opeth involved i do feel like i want to hear more.
NP:
Lane, Hellborg, Sipe
Wetlands, NYC.
21st Oct 1996)
Excellent sound quality !!
Lineage: unknown, probably FM or SBD
Line-up:
Shawn Lane - guitar
Jonas Hellborg - bass
Jeff Sipe - drums
Setlist:
01 - Stellar Rays (end only, fades out)
02 - Improvisation
03 - Juvalamu
04 - Rice with the angels
Total time: 59:54
Format: Mp3 [@320kb]
you don't need to be a flash guitar fan (like i most certainly am) to find some absolutely amazing things happening here.
hellborg and sipe just fit SO nicely together here, both with each other AND then with what shawn lane is/was capable of...which imo was pretty limitless.

Storm Corrosion certainly is filled with symphonic poems. It has a simmering underground of tension, like the humid build-up to a storm, yet there is no release (except for one small part). Love the vocal rings around the place, the little off-breaks in melody and tempo and the almost vintage sound of the record. I got completely wrapped in this album- NP:  Exquisite album from this young lady who multiplied and looped her vocal lines to something that has strong echoes in choral music or some of This Mortal Coil's more esoteric moments. Have a listen! |

it was nice but i'm rarely in a mood for something like that - tho if something strikes, that choral music is what i need to hear, i'll go more like this (tho yeah it is sorta apples and oranges):
9 dudes, live, no loops or gadgets...incredible.

i am definitely on a bobby lee rodgers kick right now.
which is VERY interesting that i'd NEVER heard of the guy until about a week ago, finding it on the aforementioned (and mentioned and mentioned) sugarmegs site in the 'newest arrivals' page....what a fucking GREAT way to discover some new musicians!
this guy can go all danny gatton on you or he'll be a more mellow jazzer like the wonderful auzzie, jon butler.
i found this interesting enough to sample/download when i saw the drummer here is jeff sipe, same guy who played with hellborg and shawn lane for years - figured he might try to draw the inner shawn lane out of rodgers.
not so much but great funk grooves abounding so far.
like a commenter (at archive.org) says about this show:
thanks jay!
that recording moves some air!
and it sure as fuck does!

Here a good sounding Gregg Rolie (known from Santana + Journey) show. Received this some days ago via cd-r trade and like to share it here. This show contains some Santana songs and some songs from Gregg Rolie's
"Roots"- album - an Albert King classic,too.
alphonso johnson and mike carabello playing on here, along with an excellent guitarist (small wonder, eh?) whose name i couldn't make out('sounds like 'chas burkey'??...faithful to the early santana songs but NEVER sounding less than completely into them.
i know rolie came through here and played a summer festival several years ago, and it was a suburban neighborhood one (westchester, i think) not one of chicago's megafests....and i couldn't make it, gah!

FINALLY broke down and scored this one on disc after having it on cassette for decades....wore that sucker until it only could play half a side until it stretched out and did nothing but screetch. Underrated in the shadows of Neil and Bruce, this is a closet gem:  check 'em out getting in some nice notes too (if you wait thru, you'll get some decent solo work): |

with Ribot, I can only imagin.....
