bradm Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 As a beginning taper, I'm starting to realize the value of taping not just in terms of popularizing/sharing music (via Direct Connect, B&P, etc.), but in terms of documenting the music and its evolution. So, today's question is: given a time machine and taping gear, which show would you go back and tape? It should be a show which either wasn't taped, or which was, but is so rare as to really need another seed floating around. My answers: Thelonious Monk w/ John Coltrane at the Five Spot, summer 1957Punk & Phriends at Cafe Dekcuf, 2002.09.07Asthmatic Horn Section at the Bayou, 2002.06.09The Dangerous Kitchen at Alfie's, 1991.02.I-can't-rememberAloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hux Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 Shit bradm...that's a really tough question... I'm thinkin' maybe something wacky, like the Beatles in India in '68 working out all those White Album tunes....or maybe that last Beatles show in SF in '66...or the Dead at Monterey '67....

Mr. Musicface Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 Good topic Brad! I'd have to go with the 1969 Rolling Stones/King Crimson show at Hyde Park. This was in middle of the era when the Stones still kicked major ass, and can you imagine being there to hear "21st Century Schizoid Man" for the first time ever. That would be an amazing one in my books. Peace, Mr. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 I'd be sitting in Magoo's Pizza Parlour near San Francisco circa 1965 recording a hot new act called The Warlocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Musicface Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 Yo Tungsten! quote: The Hyde concert was taped and has just finally been officially release!! Hyde Park DGM has been going through old concert tapes and digitally restoring them, to Fripp's standards. They've released some classic and amazing stuff...hard to believe any band could be that intense...in the 60's it must've really blown people's doors off. NICE! I actually didn't know about that, thanks! quote: And if anyone wants a related -solid- listen, check out MacDonald & Giles self-titled album. Amazing, amazing, and Steve Winwood is all over it as well. Yeh, a buddy of mine actually had that on vinyl years ago. I should try to dig that up on CD. Peace dude, Mr. M.

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 yeah the original Giles Giles and Fripp stuff is pretty out there... the MacDonald and Giles stuff is way more psychedelic and funky...epic songs and amazing production. Another Frippish gem is League of Gentlemen live, i think it's called Thrang Thrang Gozinblux...it's cool, mostly all recorded at the El Mocambo in 1981, it was Fripp's "Dance Band" which hits a few cool strides, but the guitar work is craziness.....

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 Hey Groove Fetish; The Hyde concert was taped and has just finally been officially release!! Hyde Park DGM has been going through old concert tapes and digitally restoring them, to Fripp's standards. They've released some classic and amazing stuff...hard to believe any band could be that intense...in the 60's it must've really blown people's doors off. And if anyone wants a related -solid- listen, check out MacDonald & Giles self-titled album. Amazing, amazing, and Steve Winwood is all over it as well. Ok here's my Wish-it-had've-been-taped list: these ones are kinda personal ones: David Byrne-Massey Hall 92-This concert changed my life...the night before I had gone to Rollins Band, but my friend convinced me to go to this with him. Best...Show...Ever Soundgarden-Concert Hall 92 - One of my first concerts...blew me away, and back then Chris Cornell kicked ass! But for the general benefit of mankind pick, i'd have to say Bootsy Collins, 69-70 when he was 18 and playing almost every night in the Apollo house band.

SolarGarlic Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 Well, too keep it in the canadian band realm, Id go with Burt Neilson Band Y2K show on top of sunshine mountain. Wasn't taped (to my knowledge) and my buddies said it was a blast. And for classic purposes ill go with the Dead 07/03/70 McMahon Stadium, Calgary, Alberta. This was during the Festival Express tour. It still boggles my mind that they played here in Calgary @ the stadium. There are apparently video portions of this show floating around that i would love to get...

Booche Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 How about the accompanying train ride across the great white north? Man, those would be some TASTEY tapes.......Imagine Rick Danko, Janis, Jerry with Delaney and Bonnie at the vocal helm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
