Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers - VPRO-FM, Paradiso Sept. 24, 1977

Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers
Paradiso
Amsterdam, Netherlands
VPRO-FM
September 24, 1977

Another Hans Devente tape.  Tracks 1-14 are from VPRO-FM, tracks 15-19 are an audience tape.
The FM is pretty good, although a bit hissy in the quiet portions.

The audience tape is muddy.

Hans notes: "part one is the radio show, part two is those tracks not in the broadcast, but my own recording in paradise, not the greatest sound ever, but I still like it"

01.  VPRO Promo:  We're The Modern Lovers (cuts in...) 
02.  Hi Dear
03.  I'm A Little Dinosaur
04.  The New Teller
05.  Ice Cream Man
06.  My Love Is A Flower Just Beginning To Bloom
07.  Back In The U.S.A.
08.  Astral Plane
09.  Lydia
10.  Route 66
11.  I'm A Little Airplane
12.  VPRO Promo: We're The Modern Lovers
13.  Pretty Little Girl
14.  Hello Josephine

End of radio broadcast...the rest is a low quality audience tape:
15.  Roadrunner
16.  Egyptian Reggae
17.  Ancient Long Ago
18.  ? instrumental
19.  New England


Okay, gang... this is a re-up of a post from over ten years ago, back when Hans Devente was dropping tapes on one of his many peripatetic blogs that came and went every few weeks for awhile. I originally posted it on one of our offshoots that we eventually took down.  A few months back, our pal Jonder was posting some Richman, and I went down in the musty catacombs beneath Castle Đ®åⒻṬëŕṽøï rediscovered my copy.  Over the years, someone added a cover to it.  

AS I originally wrote (above), the quality varies, but collectors will find it of interest.

Don Dixon - 1986 - VPRO Studio, Hilversum, Holland

Don Dixon - 1986 - VPRO Studio, Hilversum, Holland

01 Announcer - Intro
02 Don Dixon - Swallowing Pride
03 Don Dixon - I've Got Dreams To Remember
04 Don Dixon - Inside These Arms
05 Don Dixon - Outro
06 Don Dixon - Why (B-side of Praying Mantis)

This is a short radio show.  The generation of my copy is unknown but it is likely first generation. 

In the liner notes to the odds n' sods CD collection, "Note Pad #38," Dixon mentions ""Inside These Arms:" I remember singing this song live on the radio in the Netherlands the day after I wrote it... sometime in the mid 80s...I was there doing promo for "Most of the Girls Like To Dance But Only Some Of The Boys Like To.""

Whoever I traded with for this show filled it out with the B-side of "Praying Mantis."  As that's still unreleased on CD I've left it on.

Steve Miller Special - VPRO Radio 1978, five different live sources...


This is another of Hans Devente's tapes.  I chaptered it to make it easier to navigate.  The show is a Dutch radio special.  I've presented the show as originally uploaded, with the musical intro (in Spanish) and all of the commentary (in Dutch).  

The show has five different sources.  The first one is the lowest quality, both in sound (there's construction going on in the room).....and performance.  As Miller puts it, "I've been drinking Akvavit for two hours, somebody gimme a beer...."  In general, the sound is about  "B" FM radio broadcast...some hiss...too much talking...but I've never heard any of these performances before.  

If anyone speaks Dutch and can figure out the other sources or years, please leave a note in the comments.

UPDATE!  Many thanks to Feelgood for helping identify the sources for this tape!  His information is added below, and I've updated the track listing here.

Hotel Wiechman
Amsterdam
The Netherlands
February 17 1972
VPRO Radio broadcasted

A lot of bands have stayed there in the years 60-70.
If they performed in the basement, they were allowed to stay for free.
A day before the concert at Concertgebouw, Amsterdam one of VPRO's reporters went to the Hotel Wiechman in Amsterdam to do an interview with Steve Miller. The hotel was in the middle of a renovation and reporter Wim Noordhoek found Steve Miller downstairs in the bar with the carpenters. Steve is practicing and screwing around while some guys are constructing a bar at the Hotel Weichman. Therefore, one could hear all kinds of noise on the background.

4. Nothing Lasts
5. Unknown
6. I Walked A Mile For Daddy
7. Blues With A Feeling - Stormy Monday

Bonnie Raitt / VPRO Studios March 25, 1976

Bonnie Raitt
VPRO studios
March 25, 1976

01.  Love Me Like A Man
02.  Write Me A Few Of Your Lines
03.  Love Has No Pride
04.  Rainy Day Many
05.  Nothing Seems To Matter
06.  Under The Falling Sky
07.  Mighty Tight Woman
08.  I Can't Find My Way Home (fades down with warning beeps)

Hans Devente digitized this as a single flac file Summer 2014. I chaptered the songs and removed static a click at a time in Audacity.
Sound is a bit hissy, my guess is that the tape is a low bias tape stock.  The tape is also probably a copy of a master tape, edited for rebroadcast.  Other than noticable hiss, the sound is good, and it doesn't sound dull, as if there were multiple generations.  This is Bonnie Raitt accompanied only by her bass player - no other instruments.  The  fade out was done by the radio station.  I think the beeps are to signal the d.j. that the edited tape is ending.

These are flac files of wavs.

Kraftwerk / Vredenburg, Utrecht, December 10, 1981 VPRO Radio broadcast

Kraftwerk
Muziekcentrum
Vredenburg, Utrecht
VPRO Radio
December 10, 1981

Sourced from Hans Devente's tape, posted online June 2014. 

01.  Nummern 
02.  Computerwelt 
03.  Metropolis 
04.  The Model 
05.  Computer Liebe 
06.  Pocket Calculator 

The date on Hans' original upload is "11-1981"

I've listed the date as December 10 based on information from www.twingokraftwerk.com.

There are two vinyl bootlegs ("Machine" and "Somewhere In Europe") with the 
same songs as Hans' tape in the same order, and the sources are identified as 
Vredenburg on Dec. 10, 1981.

The Computertour bootleg CD was sourced from the same Vredenburg, Dec. 10, 1981 show but with a different set list.  This bootleg adds "Radioaktivitat" and "Autobahn" but is missing tracks 1, 2, and 6.

My conclusion is that the correct date of Hans' show is December 10, 1981.

As this tape is only about 1/2 an hour, and the bootlegs not much longer it's likely both versions are sourced from partial edited broadcasts of a longer concert. 

Hans uploads each side of his tapes as a single large file.  I've chaptered the show, equalized the channels, and applied a fade to the end of the tape.
