IIRC, this took place over two days in mid-december 1968; i have at least 2 different rehearsal takes on "who remembers the high numbers" of the who doing "a quick one," in addition to the final version that was included in the show. there was a rehearsal take of the dirty mac's version of "yer blues" that surfaced on the "lost lennon tapes" radio show back in the late eighties, and there was several minutes of loose jamming with yoko on caterwaul & ivry (sp?) gitlis on electric violin, some of this was eventually released in '95 on the ABKCO "rock & roll circus" CD under the title "whole lotta yoko," but there's more out there on various beatles boots. what about the stones? i'll bet there's a lot of stones stuff that didn't make the final cut of the film - or any tull stuff, taj mahal (taj kicked ass on the show w/ the late great jesse ed davis on guitar), or marianne faithfull? one of my favorite parts on the video was lennon & mick jagger introducing "yer blues" - it'd be cool if there were more bits like this left on the cutting room floor. just as an aside, the who's performance of "a quick one" on here is one of the most incredible live performances i have ever seen. wow!! townshend was just hammering the shit out of that SG. dig THE WHO, rob ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2002 08:12:53 -0500 From: John McIntyre Subject: Re: CLEAR LIGHT CD COMING OUT !!! > > Collectors Choice is also pumpin' out a number of other Elektra goodies, > > like the first Renaissance LP ...the two Earth Opera albums....

Hey Ron, I agree completely. I list The Sonics as one of my all-time favorite bands, naturally, but I couldn't really find anything worthwhile on this to spin on The Wayback Machine, either. It's definitely primitive, but I agree, not savage at all. And thanks for using a word that I had to pull out Webster's for!

I take music to work everyday! Luckily, I've got an actual "office" where I can listen to it pretty much uninterrupted. I also dig listening to webcast radio, too, like Live365.com. Gearhead Radio has got some really great stuff, 17+ hours, both old and new (and don't think it's all new Gearhead releases, either... there's a ton of '60s and '70s stuff on it as well). The last time I tuned in I noticed that you need to have a broadband Internet connection (something faster than a 56k modem) to be able to hear it. But for some reason now I can't find it on the Live365.com site. A check at the Gearhead site makes it look like they're hosting it themselves now(?). Not sure... I'll have to investigate this further today at work! Gearhead Radio: http://www.gearheadmagazine.com/HTML/radio.html Guess this is a good opportunity for me to plug Head in a Milk Bottle Radio, too. Has anyone checked it out yet? I'm about to change the playlist. It's a good mix of bands and/or releases that were covered in the first two issues of the 'zine, either in interviews, features, or reviews. It's over seven hours long so you can easily have it playing at your desk all day. I need to play around with mixing in more announcement breaks and other oddball between-songs samples of movie trailers and stuff, but it's not bad for the first try. AND you can listen to it with a 56k dialup, too.

Really? I had thought that their long NYC residency was at the Electric Circus. I remember reading that somewhere......still, if you were there I guess you oughtta know! As for that "new stuff they didn't record......." ....here's a heartbreaker: actually, they DID record it. I spoke to Ralph Schuckett in 1976 (when his memory was still fresh, so I don't doubt what he said) and he said that the entire original line-up recorded "six or seven" new songs that sounded "like the first album, only better"......and then Bob Seal quit. His replacement was Danny Kortchmar......and suddenly the band took a huge left-hand turn in direction and ended up sounding like, uh, well, like a band with Ralph Schuckett and Danny Kortchmar would sound. See "Jo Mama" for the painful details...... Anyway, Ralph liked the NEW sound better......he wasn't much for that psychedelia stuff. And this is the guy who wrote the music for "Ballad Of Freddie and Larry"! So we had a friendly argument about that, as you'll imagine. The heartbreaker is this: nobody knows where those tapes are, or even if they still exist. As far as Ralph knew, Doug Lubahn had a 7" reel of "final" mixes. This was in 1976. At the time Lubahn was, according to Ralph, a "starving musician" living in the Bronx near Yankee Stadium--even way back then, not my most favorite neighborhood. Shortly after that, Lubahn got successful.......first with a band called "Pierce Arrow," and then, I think, in commercial-and-jingle work. I haven't spoken to Ralph since then. I (and several of y'all) have been lobbying Elektra, then Rhino, then (peripherally) Sundazed for years to try and get CL re-released. Bob Irwin said in 1999 that he'd love nothing better but that he just couldn't get the rights, for whatever reason. When Collector's Choice finally got their hands on it, they contacted Mike Stax to do the notes. I asked him if "She's Ready To Be Free" was gonna make it onto the disc. He said he had asked but that he didn't think so. At which point I wrote an impassioned letter to CC. Finally, they relented and realized that it just made good sense. I also asked that it be sequenced BETWEEN side one and side two instead of at the end. NOTHING can follow "Night Sounds Loud." Well, I think that had more to do with Stax than it did with my efforts. But as long as it's on there! Mike is in the process of talking to the rest of the band.....and he HAS found Lubahn, and those tapes may well resurface--but they might not be in a "releasable" shape.

Most (if not all) songs come from the pre-Beatle era. I figure most people should have known not to expect "Psycho" and "The Witch." That's like knocking Elvis' Sun sessions for not sounding like "Suspicious Minds." That earlier poster was right: hear this CD in the continuum of the instrumental bands of that era (Link Wray, Ventures, Johnny & the Hurricanes, etc.) and maybe you'll "get it." You may not "like it," but at least you'll understand what they were doing. To me, it's the kind of record where if it weren't released under the Sonics' name, then the expectations would be totally different. I'm not hearing it as an early version of what they became, I hear it for what they were in that period - a decent dance band from Smalltown, USA. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2002 12:04:00 EST From: DaGreasyChicken@aol.com Subject: Re: Ian Gillan - Born Again YeeYeeMgt@aol.com writes:<< Anybody see this tour? >> Go here to see a pic of the Black Sabbath Stonehenge set from this tour (pre Spinal Tap!): http://www.dromo.com/fusionanomaly/blacksabbath1983tourset.jpg Mojo Magazine: Ian Gillan, you briefly joined Black Sabbath in 1983, tell us about the infamous Born Again tour that provided such valuable inspiration for Spinal Tap? Ian Gillan: We were up at a company called LSD (Light and Sound Design) in Birmingham, and the lighting engineer asked if anyone had any ideas for a stage set. Geezer Butler suggested Stonehenge. "How do you envisage it, Geezer?" asked the engineer. "Life size, of course," replied Geezer. So they built a life-size Stonehenge. We hired the Birmingham NEC to rehearse in and they couldn't get these bloody things in there. We opened in Montreal and Don Arden had hired Maple Leaf ice hockey stadium for a week, so they shipped the set over there and could still only get a few of those damn stones up, one each side of the stage, one behind the drums and two cross-pieces. The album was called Born Again and had the most vile cover I've ever seen, a new-born baby painted red with yellow finger nails and two little yellow horns sticking out of his head. Now, I've not been able to remember a single word of any of the Sabbath songs, I don't know why but they won't go into my head. So I did myself a prompt book and wrote out the first lines of each song. I don't normally use monitors but I had two wedges put at the front of the stage just to hide my book, and I'd practices turning the pages with my foot at home in the kitchen. No problem. On the last day of the rehearsal we're wondering what this dwarf is doing hanging around backstage. When we do the dress rehearsal the dwarf emerges in a red leotard, long yellow finger nails and little yellow horns. He's going to be the baby. Then we hear this horrendous screaming sound â€" they've recorded a baby's scream and flanged itâ€"and suddenly; we see this dwarf crawling across the top of Stonehenge, then he stands up as the baby's scream fades away and falls backwards off this 30 foot fibreglass replica of Stonehenge onto a big pile of mattresses. Then dong, dong â€" bells start toiling and all the roadies come across the front of the stage in monk's cowls, at which point War Pigs starts up. By now we can see the kids are either in stitches or wincing in horror. After spending 40 grand a day to achieve all this, someone had economised by not actually trying out the dry ice in the afternoon run through. So as I stride confidently towards my prompt book, not even knowing the first word of the song, I'm suddenly shocked to see a chest-high cloud of dry ice is berating me to the front of the stage. So there I am after this big opening, kneeling down, swatting the air and trying to read me line, popping my head above this cloud every now and then. Someone shouted "It's Ronnie Dio!" ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2002 09:14:34 -0800 From: "Alan Wright" Subject: Reckless Bastards & Trash Train, Jan 26th Reckless Bastards & Trash Train, Jan 26th., 2002 at The Stanwood Tavern, Stanwood, WA....
