The Cars - Live @ El Macambo - Toronto Sept. 14, 1978



For me, The Cars started out as a great rock band. Catchy songs that were too Rock to be strictly New-Wave, and with just enough Punk spirit to be strictly Rock. They put the synth to great use, weaving it perfectly into the band's sound instead of following the then dubious trend of nerve-grating keyboard wankery. 
   Then, somewhere along MTV's insidious and dastardly take-over of music, The Cars lost the plot and I lost interest. However, this set represents the band giving a full-on Rock show. You can feel in the music that the band is definitely digging it and playing as a great live band should, warts-and-all. Most of the cuts here are from their self-titled debut, including They Won't See You, which didn't make the final cut for The Cars.  Also features early versions of Nightspots, Since I Held You, and Candy-O which would later appear on their 2nd album.


This comes from an FM Source and is brought to in Mp3 @ 320.


Enjoy! Or not.

Tom Waits - Live @ McCabe's Guitar Shop - Santa Monica, CA Jan. 31, 1975


If you're a fan of Waits' early bohemian-hipster-gutter-poet phase, this is a wonderful showcase. His stage banter is delivered with a sly wink, and doesn't sound too laid-back or too forced. The thing I love about the recording presented here is that even though it is a SBD, it sounds a bit like an old 78 record. Which gives the whole Tom Waits' musical thing the perfect ambiance. So sit back, pour a drink, light a smoke, and dig these tunes.   Brought to you in Mp3 @ 320.


Enjoy. Or not.
