Wire - 1976 Demos

 *THANKS TO THE ORIGINAL POSTER

Jobe rant 27. I'm really pissed off at the newest butchering of the English language. Since when did it become hip to re-say words with the un ending instead of their true pronunciations? Examples, mountain has now become mount un, certain is cert un. Do you know what I'm talking about? Have you heard these idiots talking like that too? I see and hear it from people that are supposed to be professionals. The newscasters around here (well for the most part, the young ones) nightly show their stupidity, by adding this UN to words that are not supposed to be that way. This drives me insane.

On track 23 John McGann - NBC The Source Outro, the announcer says "Hall and Oates was recorded live at the Ritz in New York City, December 9th, 1980 by EDR Media..."

You would think that would be it, right?  A clear declarative sentence as to the date of the show by the people who recorded it ought to settle the date of the show, once and for all. 

But we give you an extra effort here at VW.  So I check Setlist.fm, and they have a H&O show at the Ritz, but on Dec. 10.  No show is listed on the 9th.

Well, Setlist.fm has been wrong before (remember the Billy Squier dating error...), so we have to fire up the Mystery Machine and Scooby-Doo this mess.

The Daryl Hall and John Oates German Website lists the show as "12/10/1980 The Ritz."  

When have the Germans ever been wrong?  

Hmm...best not bring that up...so while it's helpful, it's not proof.  It's just one more website making a claim.  

Plus... could Hall & Oates have played TWO nights at the Ritz, on the 9th AND the 10th?

So it's off to Newspapers com, where I find a Newsday event calendar from Sunday, December 7 that lists a single show (not two nights) with the lone show on Wednesday.  The Wednesday in December 1982 that falls after that Sunday was on December 10. 

My inner Sherlock Holmes says:  there was ONE show, on the 10th, and the announcer is WRONG.

....and now that we have the OTHER Source broadcast of this show, we know the original broadcast said this concert was from October 10th.  They had it right the first time.

I run a Google Image search for a ticket...and BINGO!  I don't find a ticket, but I find a print ad showing PRINCE played at the Ritz on the 9th, and Hall & Oates on the 10th.  There were NOT two shows on consecutive nights, and we have physical evidence, not just the word of a website.

You get:  flac files of wavs, digitized directly from the original syndicated radio 2-LP set.  A low-resolution cue sheet downloaded from Discogs (sorry!), plus newspaper and print ad documentation proving my thesis that December 10th is the date.

The same tracks were syndicated as NBC The Source (no label number, but run out grooves of CMV 47694) "Hall & Oates Concert" with a broadcast window of February 20-21-22, 1981.   Note the February version is "Hall & Oates Concert" while this version is "The Hall and Oates Concert."

Led Zeppelin - Destroyer Final Edition - Cleveland, OH. 1977

 

Led Zeppelin - Destroyer Final Edition
Richfield Coliseum
Cleveland, Ohio
April 27, 1977
Soundboard @flac

*Enclosed Notes*

Destroyer (Cobra, Eelgrass, Empress Valley, Flesh, Last Stand Disc, Shout To the Top, SODD, & the October 2007 issue with dark green discs in jewel case - no label), The Destroyers (Tarantura & Tarantura2000), The Destroyer Gold (Tarantura), Final Statements (Antrabata), Maximum Destroyer (Empress Valley, original and reissue), & Supreme Destroyers I (Empress Valley, 9cd & 3cd)

Foreword
      Empress Valley's original Destroyer title was released in 2000. It was more complete with better quality than prior releases and subsequent releases (by other labels and EV's own "Supreme Destroyers" released in 2004) until the "no label" version came out in October of 2007.
      The "no label" version wasn't any better - it was pretty close to being an equal. Two months later, Empress Valley released "Maximum Destroyer," which was technically (minor differences) better than their original. Then in May 2008, Eelgrass released the title too, virtually identical to the two titles just mentioned.

      Both original Tarantura releases are exactly alike in respect to cuts but are equalized differently. These two titles are missing the first 3.5 seconds of the opening song. They are also missing about 70 seconds of White Summer / Black Mountain Side. A few seconds are also lost at the cut just before Achilles Last Stand. The tape used was highly edited, removing about 5 minutes of tape from between songs.
      Antrabata and Shout To the Top are almost completely identical. There are edits between songs too. They both are among the poorest sounding triple cd titles ever released.
      Cobra and LSD are both exactly alike in respect to cuts and to good sound. They are missing the first second of the opening song and only have a few edits between songs.
      The Tarantura2000 claims to be the longest version and the best sounding. It is missing the first half second of the Song Remains the Same. Like the original Tarantura releases, this one too is missing about 70 seconds of White Summer and it's warm-up. There are distinct changes in sound with each song. The changes are so abrupt, they sound like cuts. The songs are much louder than the time between songs. Additionally, evidence of further tweaking can be heard between songs. (It's the same treatment they've used before, making the audience sound a little like birds. This time it isn't as heavy handed as with earlier titles.) Other less than natural sounds can be hear after Dying and during the cut and repeat after Moby.
      Flesh's release is the worst sounding of them all. It is totally overblown - not simply over amplified like Antrabata and STTT, but overblowncruined. The background is rough and muffled without loosing too much of the higher frequencies. At points during the acoustic set, the "equalization" makes the guitars and Bonham sound completely irritating. It's White Summer isn't incomplete like the three Tara's.
      The Empress Valley Destroyer (released in 2000) is by far, the best sounding and most complete release ever issued. (Unfortunately, the last dozen seconds of tape after the show seem to be faked by repeating a section.)
      Empress Valley's Supreme Destroyers I is a step down from it's original Destroyer. There's a strange sound problem (brief) about 1.5 minutes into Going To California that's not found on any other titles. After that track, the sound trouble starts again and lasts into the beginning of Black Country Woman. Later during that track, the left channel begins to dominate the right. It continues through the end of the disc. It's music and background are not as loud as their original Destroyer. The 9cd box and 3cd release both use the same discs.
      SODD's Destroyer has three minor flaws. No Quarter has a glitch that's not found on any other title, and it misses a split second of tape between the discs, during guitar warm up and commentary. A slight bit of tape overlap between the discs would have cured that issue, but they elected not to repeat even a millisecond. Other than that, all other tape is present. The sound quality is excellent and similar to EV's original release.
      The "no label" version issued October 2007 is an excellent title. It doesn't miss any tape, barely has overlapping tape between discs, and doesn't have any rogue cuts or glitches. The title has no amplification. If it had been amplified some, it would have been an alternative to EV's original release.
      Empress Valley's Maximum Destroyer is a much improved release over their previous version "Supreme Destroyers" and even has some small differences that makes it even better than their original "Destroyer." The title isn't amplified as loud as the original, has it's cue stops positioned a little better, has a little less overlapping tape and blank tape at the end of the discs, and doesn't have any potentially "faked" tape after the show. Their jewel cased version reissues the same discs.
      Eelgrass's Destroyer is not a copy of any Empress Valley title. It's an amplified version of the "no label" title, with a few seconds of blank tape added to the end of the discs.

Confirmation of the recording date and source is provided by The Philadelphia Daily News (Friday, Dec. 13, 1985), which says:"But now a newly revised lineup, holidng over just singer/songwriter Kevin Hunter, is out with a second LP, "Between Two Words," and tour bringing the group to the Empire Rock Club tonight.  WMMR (93.3/FM) carries the midnight set live."

Digitized March 15, 2023 from Maxell XL-II 60.  Flac files from .wavs

I was talking about radio shows with one of our Beloved Voodoo Wagon Audience, and discovered he had a stack of cassettes with local broadcasts from the Philadelphia area.  He shipped a few of 'em out west to me, and I'm digitizing and sharing them here on VW.  We're going to call this the "Sam Elliot's Mustache Collection," and all thanks go to our blog-friend for hanging on to these recordings for almost forty years.  We're going to work our way through his collection over the few months.  Upcoming shows include the Bullet Boys, Jason & the Scorchers, and Robert Hazard...and a special bunch of SUPER RARE radio shows direct from the original syndicated reel-to-reels.

The first one up is San Francisco's Wire Train.  I remember running into main Train Kevin Hunter in the cafeteria at S.F. State, when the band went by The Renegades.  After the first album, all new members except for Hunter were recruited to record the second LP.

Rock n' Roll Geography Lesson:
The Empire Rock Club was in the music business roughly 1983-1990.  Located at  7015 E. Roosevelt Boulevard, the building is still standing and in recent years has been a Bingo Hall, discount mattress store, and a beer distributor.

November 1971

"Family's Live (Mystic Records UK, MYS CD 176) is an incredible document of the group's November 1971 tour of Britain to support their new album Fearless, in which the band pushed the envelope to find new vitality and new meaning in both their earlier songs and in selections from their new album. The lineup at the time, as always, was anchored by the three members who remained in Family from start to finish: drummer Rob Townsend, whose precise timekeeping and explosive fills always kept Family rock-steady; guitarist Charlie Whitney, whose biting solos sounded as menacing as his cocky sneer and his double-necked Gibson guitars looked; and lead singer Roger Chapman, who made Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant sound like a crooner with a bleating vibrato voice that was accurately described as the sound of an "electric goat." Rounding out the group in 1971 were bassist/vocalist John Wetton (yeah, the guy from King Crimson and Asia), who paced Family's music fluidly, and Poli Palmer, who contributed on the flute, piano, synthesizer, and vibraphone -- and excelled at all of them. These performances, from a tape found in Chapman's possession, are a chronicle of a rock and roll band that tore through material with a thunderous, relentless drive few of their peers in British rock could match."

* Applied fade-out to Track 112 and Track 210 with Nero's wave editor
* Applied fade-in to Track 201 with Nero's wave editor

ALD (assisted listening device) soundboard recordings are usually knocked for their "thin" sound quality (high amount of treble, not enough bass), but I don't think that's a real issue here at all.  As such, Jim's files have been unaltered for sound quality (i.e., no EQ performed)--if some of you prefer to have more bass in your ALD recordings, I'll let you do your own EQ work since it then becomes a matter of personal taste.  As for me, I think the show sounds great, as-is.

I finally got around to doing this badly needed remastering. The usual: EQ, volume adjustments, and pitch correction. Sound went from merely good to excellent.

2 songs are missing from the show, I don't believe they circulate otherwise.

Another Porky Prime Cut From Terrapin Station!!!

Notes from PJLM (thanks!!!):

This concert was one of the wildest of the tour. Security had the hardest time restraining fans who desperately wanted to make it on stage. The setlist remained almost unchanged in Laguna Hills, but "Reel Around The Fountain" and "Hand In Glove" were dropped. Actually it is not impossible that "Bigmouth Strikes Again" was dropped as well although it is listed here. It seems the Smiths might not have returned to perform a second encore, given what happened in the first one (read further for details).

Morrissey wasn't very talkative throughout the evening. Besides introducing the lesser known "Panic, "Stretch Out And Wait" and "Is It Really So Strange?", he said "Thank you, you're very kind..." after "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out". Before "Never Had No One Ever", he asked "Any requests?". Titles were shouted from the audience, and to one or some of these he answered with a loud "No!". Before "The Queen Is Dead", other titles were shouted from the audience, and to one of these, Morrissey answered "We don't do that song anymore". In "The Queen Is Dead" he changed a line to "Life is very long, when you're handsome".

After "Meat Is Murder", as the violence was increasing, Morrissey said "I hope that the security don't ruin your night too much, but I'm sure that they'll do their best... never mind, they're outnumbered..." When he returned to the stage for the first encore after the band-only instrumental "Money Changes Everything", seeing how the security manhandled some fans, Morrissey exclaimed "Oh, God!" while Johnny added "Neanderthals, fucking idiots, these guys!". Then one third into following song "I Know It's Over", Morrissey interrupted his singing to shout to a bouncer: "Jesus Christ! Don't be so stupid! Leave him alone, you stupid idiot! Leave him!" He then resumed the song as if nothing had happened. A completely stunning moment.


A very good recording of this concert, probably from the soundboard, is being circulated on the official bootleg "Thank Your Lucky Stars", erroneously credited as being from the previous gig in Los Angeles. It is one of the best bootlegs for the Smiths, for content and sound quality. The whole concert is featured except for "Meat Is Murder" and, if it was actually performed, the final song "Bigmouth Strikes Again".

Fanmade copies of "Thank Your Lucky Stars" have also been seen with different artwork, under the erroneous title "Live In Los Angeles". The cover for one of these shows the four band members standing, same photo shoot as the one that provided the cover for the bootleg "The Cradle Snatchers". The cover to another one subtitled "Live In Los Angeles '86" uses an early photo of the band with Morrissey holding a bouquet of flowers.

In 2005 the tracks from "Thank Your Lucky Stars" were split over a bootleg LP and 2 bootleg 7"s. The LP, titled "Brighter Sides To Life" featured the songs "Still Ill", "I Want The One I Can"t Have", "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out", "How Soon Is Now?", "Frankly, Mr. Shankly", "Panic", "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now", "The Queen Is Dead", "Money Changes Everything" and "I Know It"s Over". The 7" bootleg titled "Good Times" featured "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want", "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore", "Stretch Out And Wait" and "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side" and the other bootleg 7", "Break My Spine", featured the remaining 4 songs, "Is It Really So Strange?", "Never Had No One Ever", "Cemetary Gates" and "What She Said/Rubber Ring".

"Wilde About The Smiths", a factory pressed cd in digipack has "I Know It's Over" from this concert with many other live tracks, rarities and radio sessions.

Included:  300 dpi scans of the cue sheets, disc labels, plus some newspaper pages providing evidence for the recording date of the show.

Mystery solved!

As is often the case, there was no date of recording mentioned by announcer Bill Minkin, and the Internet didn't immediately produce a result.  I tracked down the date of the show by starting with the 1984 air date and looking at the SF Chronicle's Sunday entertainment section (the "Pink Section" as it was on pink newsprint...), and working backward to a Greg Kihn listing. Wolfgang's Vault dates this show as September 29, 1983.  The listing in the SF Chronicle shows Kihn as playing September 23, 1983.  The bands on the 29th were Roomful of Blues, the Nighthawks, and the Johnny Copeland Blues Band.  I've included the Wolfgang's ad from two different Sundays to prove it's not a misprint.  

Rock and Roll Geography:

Wolfgang's was Bill Graham's night club, at 901 Columbus Avenue in San Francisco.  Wolfgang's was open from 1983 until a 1987 fire in the Entella Hotel above the club caused enough damage to close it forever.  Sharp-eyed Peter Case fans will note that yes, this the same cheap hotel he wrote about in his song "Entella Hotel."  I've also included a story about the fire for your reading entertainment.

Now...I need YOUR help.  Yes, you.  The guy there, with the computer mouse in his right hand...yeah, I'm talkin' to you, pal...  don't act like you don't hear me... can you help Đ®åⒻṬëŕṽøï out here?

Who is on track 18 singing the Budweiser commercial?  Dave Edmunds?  No, the accent's not right.... Joe Walsh?  It's got his nasal, reedy voice.  Who is it?  It's drivin' me nuts, and I need YOUR help....

UPDATE as of March 16, 2023:

Our good friend of the blog ANONYMOUS came through, and posted this in the comments:

"1st of all, thanks for the Greg Kihn! Now, about that singer. It's definitely NOT Joe Walsh. Joe could never manage that jump to falsetto, even on his best days. So, considering these things a challenge I spent the last couple hours crawling the net. AND, surprising even myself, I found the answer! It's former Eagle Randy Meisner! Check out the proof here... https://soundcloud.com/randymesinerunofficial/randy-meisner-budweiswer-radio-commercial"

We hereby award the second Voodoo Wagon No-Prize to ANONYMOUS for the HOURS of work tracking down the name of the singer.  I want to point out that Anonymous not only provided an answer, but also PROOF.  

Awarded to ANONYMOUS for hours of Scooby-Dooing a mystery...

David Bowie - R.C.A. Nipper Series 1979

 *THANKS TO THOSE WHO SHARE

OK, I don't know a lot about this release at all. I'm sure there is a Bowie aficionado who can clue me in on this, now whether they leave a comment or not remains to be seen. Apparently RCA was doing some kind of radio series showcasing their acts. But in this case RCA didn't have a lot of major acts. So maybe there are a grand total of 3 in this series as I can only think of 2 other artists that were making any money for RCA on the charts. That would be Lou Reed and The Scorpions (when they were good) So I would think this is a very limited series. Now if I can find that Lou and Scorps. See scans
