The whole concert contains Tommy in its entirety. The reissue only includes two of the Tommy songs. Additonally, several of the reissue songs are edited ("Shakin All Over," "Magic Bus," "My Generation), though not as edited as they were for the original LP. For the reissue, they also muted the mics that weren't in use at any given time, resulting in various levels of ambience coming and going in a most distracting manner. In an astounding display of needless monkeying, the first two vocal lines of "Heaven and Hell" were rerecorded by John Entwistle in 1995 for the reissue! They say he was inaudible on the original master, but I can hear him well enough on the boot. The entire boot is available easily on Napster. Here's a link to an exhaustive article comparing the two: http://www.lukpac.org/lal.htm Sam < Subject: Tommy Live at Leeds boot? Just wondering, what is the purporse of this item?

Yeah, that one's annoying, but I have to admit I liked the Deja Vu album a lot when I was growing up, hippy dippy as it was. Especially the Hammond? wandery organ and exquisite harmony singing (I'm a sucker for any kind of organ and harmony singing) on "Carry On" and also LOVED "Helpless", and "Almost Cut my Hair". I wuz a hippie chile! (Actually my dad didn't have many rock albums so the few he did have I tended to like no matter what). I have so many bad music memories. The stuff we endured on 70's and 80's radio must be so bad compared to even the worst of 60's radio. Journey stands out as one I hated and I'll never forgive myself for allowing my friend to drag me to one of their concerts when we were in high school. Not only was it terrible but we were almost crushed!! "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'.. (YOUR THROAT SHUT!!)" "When the lights/go down/on the cit-TAY../and the sun shines on/the BAy-EE-AY-AY.." And how could I forget that REO dude braying "PIECES of EIGHT/A SLICE(?) OF THE MONEY TREE" or whatever... Styx, Foreigner, Phil Collin's era Genesis, Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight", John Cougar's "Jack & Diane", JAMES TAYLOR, Hall & Oates... all clogging the airwaves. Rod Stewart really stuck in my craw: "Maggie May" ("the morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age") and the sappy, ickily erotic, more-than-you-wanted-to-know Hallmark Card to an underage girl: "Tonight's the Night" Though I never cared much for Led Zeppelin they are Mozart compared to this shlock. No one has mentioned Pink Floyd's THE WALL. This was HUGE at the time and everyone had to get stoned and see the Midnight movie. Looking back I'm surprised something so incredibly morbid and downbeat would become so popular with the masses. I got sucked in, I have to admit! _________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 14:40:20 -0800 (PST) From: karl roper Subject: Re: Daddy Cool > Most of you non-Australian Bompers wouldn't be > familiar with the likes of Cold Chisel, Australian > Crawl, Daddy Cool (hey Gary!), Skyhooks (hey Mike!), Brian, You don't wanna know who Australian Crawl are (trust me on that one) & as far as Daddy Cool goes I'm gonna let that one go through to the keeper (Australian cricket lingo that one) 'cos my opinion on them has been somewhat sullied through over-exposure to them. Gary Apollo you want to pick up the ball on this one? See aside from the constant radio play they get, my local (RIP) Rugby League team (that's Australian for football) were the Sea Eagles whose theme song was 'Eagle Rock' done by none other than Daddy Cool. Hearing that song was kind of like hearing that 'Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye' (I have no idea what it's called but I'm sure you know the one I'm talking about) one you guys have to sit through at your sporting fixtures. Over on the ApolloJams list, Gary described them something along the lines of better than Canned Heat maybe? Apologies if I got that wrong but I ain't into that boogie thing done by a bunch of wacky hippie types so despite my long-winded response here, I have no opinion. Buy a Rose Tattoo record instead.

While talking about this whole Classic-Rock-Radio swamp-stink, I just happened to mention having known Peter Salant in high school.......he being one of the foremost architects of that which we now know and hate........and then here comes MopTop Mike: << THAT is hilarious about Pete Salant! What band did you guys play in?>> Uhh....well, it was called "Stoanfield." This would be 1971. Pete played a Yamaha copy of a Vox organ, if you remember those. We had a three-piece brass section, one of whom was Bob Smith, who's now a very highly-respected Jazz Guy...mainly in Japan. He made a big splash with an album called "Bob's Diner." And YES, we did play some garage music. With some VERY wacky horn charts by me and Bob. << I remember him as Pete Stone on WAVZ in the 70's, and later on WKCI before he left to go into radio programming. Whatta jerk! That guy had/(has?) the biggest EGO..bigger than any rock star you could mention. How do I know him? Here in CT, I was working in production and as a weekend DJ on an AM radio station in '86. Our PD informed me that the low-watt AM station in town was changing format to "all-oldies", and that it would be programmed "in-house", meaning no consultant bullshit to tell you what could and could not be played. So, I sent three different airchecks of my show plus my own 60's Real Don Steele/93 KHJ 60's styled show on my college station. Salant was the PD and operations manager of the new station, and he would not respond to my requests of employment. Not one to be ignored, I invited myself in to the station, and demanded to see him. He looked at me, and said of the "Real Don Steele" aircheck that "people don't wanna hear a fast talking entertaining DJ anymore".........A few curse words exchanged, and I left. When the arbitron ratings for the next "book" came out, Salant's AM oldies station was 13 out of 13 radio stations in the listening area. Our station was 3rd. I sent Salant a card, congratulating him on his brilliant programming that attracted the audience he claimed was clamoring for something "different" in oldies. Anyway, his station tanked in less than two years, and he split. Now, he's based in Virginia consulting for "oldies" stations. He was on the air up here a year ago for a DJ reunion show, and all he did was talk about how important he was, and his new business.>> Gulp. Well, Mike, I did my best with him, sorry! In point of fact he had a truly encyclopedic knowledge of music, radio AND the piano.......(he could, no shit, sit down at the keyboard, you could call out a song to him, and he would play it flawlessly.....with his left hand playing in a different key than the right. Scared the shit out of me. Name the interval.....half-step, minor-third, whatever. ) He also was an extremely funny guy, ON all the time........then he left for college. And the next time we all saw him, about three years later, he was so serious and so DIFFERENT it was like talking to a brick. I guess, from what you say, he just continued on that same spiral. Well, I don't THINK any of this is MY fault!! But ya never know, do ya......

It is not reviewed favorably at all. It gets a BOMB rating and is called a "way off base satire." Even so, it's still a curio to me that I wouldn't mind seeing one of these days.

What we DID do on this show was focus exclusively on some of the great stuff released during the year that Jean and I found ourselves coming back to again and again. As always we say "thanks" to the artists and labels responsible for producing tonight's music, and to the loyal listeners who encourage us to air it every week! (For six years now, Radio Rumpus Room has been broadcast Fridays at 9-10:30 p.m. on KFAI Fresh Air Radio, FM 90.3 Minneapolis and 106.7 St. Paul. The show streams live in RealAudio, and as always, our most recent shows are archived in their entirety in RealAudio -- check out the RRR web page to see what we've been up to!) Here's the Radio Rumpus Room playlist for Friday, January 5, 2001: SAVVY SHOW STARTER (ALWAYS LOCALLY RECORDED!) Suicide Commandos -- Complicated Fun (Commandos Commit Suicide Dance Concert; Garage D'Or) Long out of print, the CD reissue of this milestone Minneapolis event was one of the most satisfying surprises of 2000. Founded with the idea of making the most amount of noise -- and fun -- possible with the least number of people, the three-strong Commandos jumpstarted the whole mid- to late-'70s Minneapolis scene. This non-stop CD, culling 32 songs from the 50 they played at Jay's Longhorn on their last night on Earth -- November 24, 1978 -- accurately pegs what the Commandos were all about: Big, dumb noisy fun. Junior Varsity -- Bam B-B-Bam Bam Bam (Bam Bam Bam!; Peek-A-Boo) Swingin' Neckbreakers -- Let's Have a Jam (Return of Rock; Telstar) Freddy Fortune & the Four-Gone Conclusions -- Dracula's Deuce (Monster Party 2000; MuSick) Go-Nuts -- More Mayo (Dunk and Cover!; Lookout!)
