Blondie- Live At The Paradise 1978: R.I.P. Clem Burke

 

 

It almost seems like half my posts recently have been tributes to musicians who have passed away and last week another member of a well known band died. Clem Burke (Clement Bozewski), drummer for Blondie died on April 6th, at the age of 70 from cancer. Burke was the driving force behind Blondie, appeared on all their albums and remained with the band right up to his death. As well as Blondie, Burke has worked and collaborated with many artists through the years, including being a member of bands such as Chequered Past (w/Steve Jones), Empty Hearts (w/Elliot Easton) and the Romantics in the 90's. 

I decided to post a Blondie show from 1978, which featured several songs from the just released, Parallel Lines album that turned Blondie from an interesting new wave band to commercial superstars. I personally wasn't a big Blondie fan at the time, but I have come to appreciate and enjoy the band, especially their debut and Parallel Lines. When I first found this show (on archive.org) I thought it was the headline set from the David Johansen show I posted a few posts ago, both shows are at the Paradise, but this Blondie show is actually later in the year (November vs May). This was also broadcast on WBCN, so the sound quality is excellent and definitely worth a listen. Interesting fact: their cover of T-Rex's, Bang A Gong (Get It On) from this show is included on the 2001 remastered reissue version of Parallel Lines.

Enjoy!

Scott McCaughey- Lounge Ax, Chicago, August 16, 1997

 

It's a double play!

As promised, here's the opening set for the Minus 5 show at the Lounge Ax in 1997. The Young Fresh Fellows & Minus 5 front man, Scott McCaughey performs an acoustic solo set that includes mainly Fellows songs, as well as a Replacements (Westerberg) track, If Only You Were Lonely. I personally love hearing the "stripped down" version of songs, especially from such a great (and underrated) songwriter such as McCaughey and they hold-up well without the full band treatment. For the full concert experience (well, minus the Jon Langford's Skull Orchard set), listen to this solo set followed by the Minus 5 set, close your eyes and crank it. Another must-hear for fans of the Fellows!

Enjoy!

Minus 5- Live At the Lounge Ax, August 16, 1997

 In a previous post, I talked about Aadam Jacobs a music collector and archivist who has amassed an incredible collection of live concert recordings he recorded in Chicago from the 80's to mid-2010's. He is such an interesting character I'm glad someone has documented his unique (and very cool) life in a film released in 2023. Chicago filmmaker, Katlin Schneider made a documentary about Jacobs called, Melomaniac is a fascinating study of obsession and "abnormal fondness and intense devotion to music". We hear from club owners and musicians that have interacted with Jacobs through the years and how important he was to the local scene to document and promote bands through his live recordings. Personally, I feel a connection not only as a person that tapes every show he goes to, but also the intense love of music in all aspects. I don't think I'm anywhere near Aadam's level, as we tape not for profit (yes, never made any money with our shows), but for the pleasure of the ultimate souvenir of the memory of the show, because if no one else is documenting this, it will be lost in time and forgotten. 

 

Since I wasn't at the Chicago Underground Film Fest for the world premiere of Melomaniac in September 2023, I found the film online for viewing on the filmmaker's Vimeo page (scroll down to the bottom of the page). Well worth the watch, I thought it was very well done and for being Kailin's first full length feature, this was an outstanding effort. If you liked it, drop her a message on her page.

 

 There are so many interesting shows in the Jacob's archive I would love to post, but I'll restrict my enthusiasm to a select amount of live recordings that might be of interest to readers on this blog. A show from the Minus 5 at the Lounge Ax in Chicago from 1997, is a concert I've been keeping an eye out for a while. So glad Aadam attended the show and even the Minus 5's Wikipedia entry mentions the show.

 "While R.E.M. was in Georgia recording demos for what would become Up, The Minus 5 played its first two shows without Buck: at Chicago's Lounge Ax on August 16, 1997, the band consisted of McCaughey, Stringfellow, Jason Finn and Dharma Bums' Jim Talstra. The raucous gig was by far the band's longest to date: an 11-song McCaughey solo set followed by a 22-song Minus 5 powerhouse that included unreleased songs, several nuggets from My Chartreuse Opinion and covers of John Lennon and The Modern Lovers."

 

The show was also referenced in the Minus 5's song, The Night Chicago Died Again (The Death of The Minus 5). On the Lounge Ax recording, McCaughey even mentions the flood incident that occurred that day at the Ax: (excerpt from the song):

 

Well they came to Chicago
The new slaughterhouse four
Jimmy Talent, Puffy and Strings
I couldn't get one more
Then we went to Comiskey
Old man fell on my head
Then their was a terrible flood
10.000 people dead

That was the night
That was the night that Chicago Died
Again, again
Again, again

 

Water came from below
Rats and babies are floatin'
And water came from above
Yeah the Lounge Ax stayed open

 

Now some of Sue Miller's husbands
Were not performing very well that night
They had somehow been severely overserved
And then out went the pilot-light
And when Puffy and I started throwing matches down there
The water heater blew
Then there where two less husbands
That was alright with Sue

 

.... That's right, that was the night that Chicago died
I guess I feel pretty fortune to have been there

 

...and we are pretty fortunate this was recorded! For the encore, the band performs portions of a few "butchered" Young Fresh Fellow songs which was very cool! Scott opened the show with a solo set of mainly Fellows songs, which is always appreciated! I'll post the solo set (which was also recorded) next.

Enjoy!

David Johansen Group- Live At the Paradise 1978: R.I.P.

The New York Dolls 1973. Photograph: Richard Drew/AP

 

 Just heard on the news this morning that New York Dolls frontman, David Johansen died at 75. This is sad news, Johansen was the last surviving member of the pioneering proto-punk band, as he was battling stage 4 cancer and a brain tumor. I've always had a special place for the Dolls, as their music and rock 'n' roll swagger has been very influential to my music tastes and the bands I listened to in the late 70's/80's. Spinning off from the Dolls, I've followed guitarist, Johnny Thunders career, solo and with the Heartbreakers, but never really dug deep into Johansen's post-Dolls work. I'll admit, I was not a big fan of Johansen's alter-ego, Buster Poindexter, but his solo work (under his own name) wasn't bad and grossly underrated. I also respect him for reviving the Dolls for a reunion in 2004 (minus Thunders and Jerry Nolan) and forming a new lineup of the Dolls with Sylvain Sylvain that went on to tour and release three more studio albums, which was more output than the original lineup.

 

As a tribute to David Johansen (and Sylvain Sylvain), Here's a show from the David Johansen Group with Sylvain on guitar, the band opened for Blondie. It's a good sounding radio broadcast and even features a couple of NY Dolls songs. I've previously posted the only Dolls shows I have and just in case you missed them, the direct links/blog posts are below.

Cheekface- Live at The Park Theatre, Winnipeg, MB, January 23, 2025

 

So, I went to my first concert of 2025! In recent years, I've reduced the amount of live shows I've attended, not necessarily by choice, more that there hasn't been a lot of acts I'm excited to see. At the risk of sounding like an old fart, most of the artists I've seen have been around my age or older, which means I seem to be the median age or target audience of these dinosaur performers. So it's refreshing to see a band that was formed within the last decade with more energy on stage than I've seen in a very long time! 

On a cold, winter night in January I saw, America's Local Band, Cheekface, a band from L.A. who braved the chilly weather to take part in the Winterruption 2025 mini-music fest in Winnipeg. I listen to a lot music, but not much new music, so when I discovered Cheekface, they instantly became a new favourite. I first heard the band at the beginning of the pandemic when I was at home 24/7 making art and streaming music all the time and the talk-sing vocals, dry humour and super catchy songs hit the spot, made me laugh and now follow the band.

 

As I said earlier, it was a change of pace to see a younger band which in effect attracts a younger audience. I was definitely in the upper age range in the crowd, but this band seemed to attract a wide range of fans, maybe an equal male/female ratio. A lot of the fans knew the songs enough to either sing along or chant at appropriate times and the connection between the performers and audience was quite strong. In some ways, Cheekface reminded me a bit of the Descendents. Apart from the obvious coffee reference (see photos for "coffee cup" stage backdrop), their music is infectious and easily relatable delivered in a similar nerdy pop-punk style. The song "Noodles", a short, one line song, repeated over and over (12x?) was performed four times (three in a row and once during the "encore), each time with the introduction, "the next song is an original Cheekface composition" was haha funny the first couple of times, but will get tiresome if you see the band more than once. Front-guy, Greg Katz's sing/speak vocal style is often compared to Lou Reed, Jonathan Richman and Stephen Malkmus, but after seeing him live, I would add one of the John's from They Might Be Giants too. Katz was upfront and in the centre, but it was hard not to keep an eye on bass player, Amanda (Mandy) Tannen, whose energy is a much needed stage presence. 

 

 

It's been awhile since I've recorded a show and this one turned great. The floor was crowded with standing fans, but it wasn't too crammed so the sound was clear and bright. I must say the Park Theatre is one of the better venues in Winnipeg to see a live band, not only are the sight lines really good (the floor is slanted and elevated towards the back), but the sound system and whoever works the sounds did an excellent job. For the recording, it was relatively hassle-free, not bullshit searches, metal detectors or over-enthusiastic security personnel. As with most modern concerts, phones are always actively recording videos, snapping photos (yeah, me too) or turning on the flashlight to stupidly wave around. It's part of the concert experience I suppose and I'll hold back my rant about not allowing audio sound recorders. Anyways, fun show and you can experience it too, at least audibly with the download link below.

Enjoy!

Goodbye 2024! Soul Asylum- Minneapolis, New Year's Eve 1991

 

 Sometimes concerts on New Year's Eve can yield some interesting setlists and song selections and you can always count on Soul Asylum to provide an unique show. this show from 1991, features the Midnight Medley in the lead up to the magical moment when the calendar turns over to a new year. Worth the price of admission alone! The sound is okay, but the setlist is good, almost as good as the 80's.

Happy New Year, see you in 2025!

The Beths- Lincoln Hall, Chicago, March 6, 2019

 

Reflecting back on the last few years, I realize I haven't listened to a lot of new music and I'm losing touch of bands that have have appeared into the 2020's. One band that I can say for certain I follow and enjoy are The Beths from Auckland, New Zealand. To date, the band has released three studio albums, one live and an EP in 2016. I first heard the band when I listened to a live recording of a show they played in 2018, in the UK. This was before I actually heard their first album, Future Me Hates Me, which blew me away with it's infectiously catchy pop melodies and songs that are instantly likable. Every song on their debut album is excellent and they've carried over the solid formula on their follow-up releases. They have to be the most unpretentious and non-flashy band I've heard in a long time, no gimmicks, pyro or over-the-top stage shows for this band. The lead singer/guitarist, Elizabeth Stokes is a cute, modest lovable presence that I enjoy and lead guitarist, Jonathan Pearce is an outstanding player that drives the sound of the band. They've toured several times to the U.S. (unfortunately haven't seen them live), so catch them if they come to your town.

The earliest live recording I have from the Beths is a set that performed in Chicago (you sense a "Chicago"-theme for the last few posts? The NHL outdoor classic is today at Wrigley in Chicago) in 2019, that features songs from the EP (Warm Blood) and the then, soon-to-be released debut. The recording is from a Webcast and the audio is a soundboard, so the sound quality is outstanding and is as good as any live album. The band's official live album, Auckland, New Zealand, 2020 was released in 2021. Great performance and a worthwhile listen for anyone that appreciates good power-pop and rockin' melodies!

Enjoy!

Scruffy The Cat- Live At the Cubby Bear, September 30, 1987

Photo: Hugh Taylor

 

Yesterday, I visited my local record store to cash in a gift certificate I received as a Christmas gift. One of my purchases was the The Replacements- Not Ready For Prime Time double live album recorded at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago in 1986. I rarely buy new albums since they're so stupidly expensive ($56!), but they're wasn't better options, plus any live Mats is worth having in my collection. The liner notes written by Bob Mehr, who wrote that very detailed and excellent bio book about the band, mentions the Mat's sound man, Monty Lee Wilkes recorded the set from the board, that was mixed with an audience recording from Chicago taper, Aadam Jacobs for the crowd noise and ambiance. A few weeks back, I read about the Aadam Jacobs Collection that recently (December 1st) had his collection of live recordings posted on the Live Music Archive. In partnership with the Live Music Archive, Jacob's collection is being digitized, with recordings uploaded as they are processed by a volunteer team from the Live Music Archive. Shows have been continually being added and as of this writing, there are 121 shows. Jacobs has been referred to as the "Chicago Taping Guy" who recorded live shows in the 80's, 90's and 2000's, as he attended a dozen or more gigs a month, and has spent decades capturing thousands of performances with an incredible archive of audio tapes. There are roughly 10,000 tapes with approximately 3 sets per tape and likely around 30,000 separate performances. He has basically archived a live history of indie rock shows in Chicago, with local bands as well as early performances from bands that went on to significant fame. The list is impressive so far and I look forward to seeing more bands I'm familiar with. Reading about Jacobs has me thinking I should have taped more and seen way more shows in my life. I'm more picky now and it takes something special for me to see a band, but in my younger days, I loved seeing live music and I didn't start taping until the early 90's and wish I recorded some great gigs in the 80's. After reading more articles about Jacob's legacy (links below), I am so inspired by his work and WOW, this guy's my hero!

Aadam Jacobs

What originally got my attention about the Aadam Jacobs Collection was a post on a Scruffy The Cat fan site on Facebook that there were several Scruffy shows in the collection. Recorded at the Cubby Bear and the Lounge Ax in Chicago, I hadn't heard or seen these shows available before. You can listen to the concerts, whole or in part and it's downloadable in mp3 or 24 bit Flac. I've downloaded the shows and they sound fabulous, definitely a treasure trove for Scruffy fans and thanks so much for the team making these available. I'm posting the first of the Scruffy The Cat shows posted (interesting to note: supporting band for this gig was the Young Fresh Fellows, hope their set was recorded too!), offering it up in the original 24-bit version and the (smaller file and sounds just as good) 16-bit version. I may post more from the collection, but you should check out the link to see updates (more recordings!) on the Live Archive page.

Enjoy!

Young Fresh Fellows- Mural Amphitheatre, Seattle, WA, August 5, 1985

 

 It's been a while since I last posted and I'll try to get back on track for a strong finish to 2024. I was meaning to post a follow-up Fellows show (to the last post) from 39 years ago to the date, as I was intending to post this on August 5th, which is also close to the anniversary date of this blog. Yes, this blog has now officially been around since 2006, which is 18 years and I hope to at least make it to 20!

The Young Fresh Fellows Seattle show from 1985 has been kicking around for a number of years including on YouTube as an audio-only recording. I downloaded this from there, but it always drives me crazy listening to one long file without the ability to skip around songs. To make life easier for everyone that wants to listen to this live recording, I split the tracks and snatched the setlist from the comment section for a great sounding "must-hear" Fellows show from the early-ish days, pre-Topsy Turvy. It's a fine compliment to the concert from the band from their most recent tour. Hopefully more Fellows live recordings surface from this past spring/summer tour dates.

Enjoy!

Notes from original post:
This is audio only of a live performance by the Young Fresh Fellows at the Mural Amphitheatre at Seattle Center on August 5, 1985. With their breakthrough "Topsy Turvy" LP about to be released, the Fellows are at the top of their wacky, genre-blending, uber-influential, "Seattle music scene Rosetta Stone" game in this Monday evening summer concert sponsored by late great Seattle "new wave" station KJET.  This is the complete show, and features Scott McCaughey, Chuck Carroll, Jim Sangster and Tad Hutchinson.  

It was recorded by Feliks Banel, sitting on the grass near the stage with a rudimentary Sony deck with a teeny little microphone (courtesy of his brother-in-law the Deadhead), but still sounds pretty darn good.

Young Fresh Fellows- Mississippi Studios, Portland, OR, May 25, 2024

 

Oh my, how time flies! Where has the summer gone?? I had a busy summer, at least I think I did, but believe it or not I haven't attended or seen any concerts since my last post. And what the heck is going on with all the concert and tour cancellations so far in 2024? At the top of my head, I can think of several high profile and popular acts that have cancelled or postponed for a variety of reasons. The Black Keys, Jennifer Lopez and Lauryn Hill and the Fugees cancelled tours before they even began mainly due to lack of ticket interest and local shows from Neil Young (illness), Paula Abdul (injury), Heart (illness/cancer) and Michael Franti & Spearhead (low ticket sales) were also cancelled. My son and his girlfriend spent a good chunk of time (and money!) in August travelling around Europe. Italy, Czechia, Germany and Austria. Can you guess what concert they planned (bought tickets over a year ago!!) to see in Vienna? Of all the cities in the world that Taylor Swift planned to play, would-be terrorists targeted Vienna and yeah it was cancelled. So travelling halfway around the world is NOT a guarantee the show will go on and it's only money, time and dashed hopes, right? At least, the whole trip wasn't a complete waste, they experienced a lot of cool things, though it was the hottest summer in history, especially where they travelled. As a consolation, they saw Coldplay in Munich, definitely not in my top anything list for my concert priorities, but at least it was a spectacle.

 

 

To be honest, the only band I was tempted to travel to see since May, was the Young Fresh Fellows who embarked on a mini-tour in support of the 40th anniversary of their debut album, Fabulous Sounds of the Pacific Northwest. They toured from West to East, with stops in Seattle, Portland, Madison, Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia, New York and North Adams for the Wilco Solid Sound Festival. I see they didn't cancel any shows due to illness, egos or poor ticket sales, though it appeared to be raining during their set at Solid Sound. Would love have seen the band live and I will regret I didn't do anything about it, but at least a lot of decent quality videos found their way on YouTube. Speaking of YouTube, there were a couple of incomplete videos of the show in Portland that if watched back to back they make up a complete concert. Since I can only really watch concert videos only so many times, I decided to take the audio from the videos (to watch, see links below) from sKiP sToNe (the main set) and Bob Rousseau (encore), pieced them together, split the tracks and it made a complete live audio recording. The sound quality is good enough and the differences between the two recordings isn't a factor, so it's a very enjoyable recording.

Enjoy!

Nick Lowe- Live At The Burton Cummings Theatre, Winnipeg, MB. June 15, 2024

Better late than never!

Nick Lowe is a performer I had on my "must-see live" before I die list for a long while and had almost gave up hope thinking my only opportunity to see him might include a long car ride or flight to another city. Imagine my surprise when it was announced he would partake on a short tour of Canada with fellow song-smith, Ron Sexsmith. It's funny because I over-heard a guy seated a row behind me telling someone he drove in for the concert from Minneapolis and he had see Lowe many time previously, ha imagine that, Winnipeg has something worth visiting for! 

 

Anyways, both sets were solo acoustic, which meant it wasn't going to be a rowdy earplugs show or standing throughout. Ron Sexsmith played a solid set with songs from his long (though not nearly as long as Nick!) and respectable career and it's interesting how many songs he's had covered by other artists, Emmylou Harris, Feist, and Nick Lowe to just name a few he played. I've seen Sexsmith before and though he isn't the most exciting performer, he is sincere and he writes some pretty nice songs. Nick was his usual charming self, an interesting and funny storyteller and a pure joy to listen to. I have joined the ranks of the "easy listening" crowd with their polite applause, cushy seats and opportunity for a night out, I felt right at home with an audience where I'm not the oldest in the room. Lowe's set was fairly quiet (you can hear a pin drop during songs), but things started to get more upbeat when Nick brought Ron onto the stage to join him for the latter section of the show for the last five songs. The highlights for me, were the older "hits", Cruel To Be Kind, I Knew The Bride and the show closer, What's So Funny 'Bout (Peace, Love and Understanding) with Ron playing some surprisingly tasty leads on guitar. A thoroughly low-key concert, I'm glad I bought a ticket for. Since I'm been trying to live on a low budget (except my stupidly expensive Jets tickets!), I'm more selective on concerts I can afford or want to pay for. I feel kind bad I missed the Violent Femmes last month, but my rationale for buying Nick Lowe over VFs is because I haven't seen him (I saw the VFs once) and tickets were reasonably priced. Interesting to note, I actually bought a first row in the middle (balcony) seat the day after tickets went on sale. There were lots of empty seats in the first balcony, only the first three rows were filled and some scattered in the lower-priced upper section. Clearly, this wasn't a top draw as there was a 25% off sale in the weeks leading up to the show.

 

The opportunity to tape (record) the show was too good to pass up. Getting through security was a breeze, as there was no airport style-metal detectors, bag checks, wanding or pat-downs, as it was anticipated to be tame crowd. My seats were perfect, unobstructed view and no one in front of me to block the sound. Extra bonus was that the couple to the left of me didn't return after the intermission, so I was able to get some extra armrest action and no worries about them talking. Talking was to the minimum, so it was ideal. I always worry that security would get excited with audio recorders, but seriously, so many people pull out their phones constantly taking photos and recording videos. In fact three seats over from me someone recorded almost the whole show on their phone. There was a ledge in front of us, but they still had to lean it and hold it sturdy for over an hour. That's more work than I'd be committed to. Good for them, hope the video turned out good. The sound quality is pretty decent, my only regret was I should have set the volume levels higher, as it was a quiet show, so of course the audience applause is so much louder than the music. I considered boosting the volume with Audacity, but I didn't want the crowd to clip too loudly or use compression which might have altered the sound. The first song is too quiet, but I increased the levels for the rest of the recording and sounds nice. I didn't record Ron's opening set because of a post from one of his earlier shows that got removed by the request of someone from his camp (if you want to hear that show, PM me), so I don't need the potential hassle. Anyways, enough technical jargon...listen to the concert!

Enjoy!

Rockpile- The Park West, Chicago 1978

 

Tonight, for the first time I'm seeing Nick Lowe live! It's hard to believe he hasn't played Winnipeg, though he came close several years ago at the Winnipeg Folk Festival (which technically is outside of Winnipeg), but I prefer the confines of an indoor concert venue to properly see and hear a performer. I've spent the past week "concert cramming", meaning I've listened to everything Lowe has recorded in his long illustrious career that spanned from the late 60's when he joined, Kippington Lodge (which later became Brinsley Schwarz), through his Rockpile days, right up to his current solo albums, which include his collaboration with Los Straitjackets. I have pretty much all his releases up to 1988's. Pinker And Prouder Than Previous, so I was somewhat surprised how many more albums he released since 1990. Admittingly, they're all good and worth a listen, with a mature, older Lowe switching gears slightly, but still has the energy and spark to keep touring and making new music. The show I'm seeing will be Nick and his guitar solo, i would have preferred to see his with Los Straitjackets, but I should just be happy he's playing. He's joined by Canadian singer-songwriter, Ron Sexsmith, who I've seen a couple of times, so it should be a good solid concert, though I'm expecting a mellow, seated show, which I'm fine with. I have a prime seat, first row balcony which will not only be perfect sight-lines, but also it should produce a excellent sounding recording (fingers crossed security looks the other way!). If it all works out, I'll be posting a review/live recording of the show soon!

 

To get in the mood, I'm posting a vintage Rockpile live show from 1978. It's a great sounding broadcast and the lads are smoking hot! This would be circa, Jesus Of Cool (Pure Pop For Now People)/Tracks On Wax 4).

Enjoy!

The Replacements- Lake Compounce, Bristol, CT 1989

It's not often I hear a live Replacements soundboard recording I haven't heard before and in this case, I have heard it before. Recently, someone posted on Dime the soundboard recording from a Mats show when they opened up for Tom Petty back in 1989. The sound is excellent and the set is complete (they were the opening set, so short), and if the date and setlist sounds familiar, it's because the show appears on the live compilation (unofficial aka: boot), Shit, Shower and Shave. Actually, the recording below is NOT sourced from Shit, Shower..., but it does sound similar, though the version below includes a few extra seconds at the beginning with Paul and Tommy talking to the crowd before Talent Show. Anyways, this is a must-hear show, not only is the sound quality amazing, the performance is fantastic, especially rare during the Petty tour and the band plays it pretty straight throughout. Which means no drunkenness, sloppy playing and a good solid later era setlist. Very enjoyable!

Enjoy!

Husker Du- Live From The Ritz, October 17, 1987

 

Note: Greg and Bob do NOT play left-handed. The photo is reversed...duh!

 I admit it, I still play CD's. Though I tend to stream music throughout the day when I'm working, I occasionally slip in a silver disc especially when driving or if I'm in the mood for something that's not available on the streaming app. I've started to buy CD's again too, though truthfully I didn't really stop, because nowadays you can get some super cheap deals on used CD's (obsolete? Ha!), but again it's usually something I can't stream or it's nice to own. One downfall is that in the city I live in, potholes are so plentiful and annoying, so car CD skipping is at an all time high. Anyways, I was listening to Husker Du's, The Living End, a live compilation from their final tour that was released shortly after they disbanded. It's a good documentation of their live show with a career spanning song list that will satisfy most Du fans, but I prefer a complete live concert recording, preferably from the same show. I remembered one of their shows I downloaded, it mentioned in the notes this show (see below) was considered for a live posthumous album.

 

Notes from the original post:

The story behind this tape is that it was that Grant Hart compiled this tape (full soundboard tape + audience encore) and wanted Warner Brothers to release this as a posthumous live album.  The label didn't like that it wasn't complete, so the band went back and compiled live tracks from the fall 1987 tour.  I got this tape from someone in the music industry who said it was 2nd gen.  Assuming it was Grant's master tape > tape compiled for WB > copy for me. 

 

The Ritz recording was a good sounding soundboard and the setlist is stellar, so I would highly recommend it. The vocals are a little low in the mix and it's a bit too bass heavy for the first few tracks, but it gets better as it goes on. Unfortunately, the last two songs are from an audience recording, but it sounds fine. This recording has been kicking around for years as a bootleg and I don't think it's been officially released, though track 23 (Keep Holding On) is not including in this file because this version was included on The Living End (I have the CD, so I rip the song if you're a completest). To be honest the sound quality on, The Living End isn't perfect either, it suffers from"larger room sound boom" on some tracks and doesn't have the continuity flow as a single show, but if you can find a copy of the CD, buy it.

Enjoy!

Violent Femmes- Hallowed Ground Live 40 Years Ago- May 16, 1984

 

 Tonight, the Violent Femmes are bringing, "An Evening With Violent Femmes" tour to Winnipeg to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the band's second album, Hallowed Ground. The setlist will consist of performing both the self-titled debut album (released 41 years ago) and Hallowed Ground back to back in it's entirety. Due to unfortunately, being out of town and living on a low budget (see lyrics from the Kinks song), I turned down the opportunity to buy tickets and though I'm not kicking myself in regret, it would have been a cool concert. Yes, I'm being cheap, but to help me ease my sorrows, I had a listen to a show from (almost) 40 years ago to this date when the Femmes embarked on the original Hallowed Ground tour. The album was released on May 14th, 1984 and though I now consider the record one of their best, at the time I wasn't so sure. The debut album was so good and if you read my recent post about that album's 40th anniversary show, you know what an influence that album had on my life musically and it's affect on my listening preferences. Hallowed Ground had a dark, gothic sound to it and I questioned how religious this album was meant to be. At the time, I didn't like it and didn't buy the album (fear not, I taped it from a friend). Jesus Walking On The Water and It's Gonna Rain have a Sunday school vibe to it, which is interesting...but it has some intense slow burning barn-burners, Hallowed Ground and the eerily creepy, Country Death Song, along with Never Tell, which would have fit in perfectly on the first record. Some of the other tracks teeter on filler, but overall it's solid and worth a listen.

The show I'm posting I snagged from archive (org) and though the sound quality isn't the best, it's an energetic and entertaining show. It's taken from a multi-generation audience cassette recording which sounds pretty typical for the time, a bit trebly with crowd noise, but it has that authentic sound of "being there", which I sometimes enjoy more than clear, but flat sounding board recordings. The setlist is made up of songs from the first two albums (if you excel in math, Hallowed Ground was released 2 days earlier) and the highlight is the last song, Kiss Off with a Pipeline jam in the middle of the song! Thanks to Milocampo for contributing the concert to the archive! Hopefully someone will record the show in Winnipeg tonight (often I'm the only taper at local shows) and if so, I'll post it. (if you record it, let me know!)

Enjoy!
