    Circular agreement society

    At the risk of joining said society, I like the points you made, Daverock. I'm thinking of some live Quicksilver I had on cassette - absolutely ferocious playing, but the recording was not up to modern standards. Eminently listenable, though, and it broadened my mind to what that group was capable of. Or that Pink Floyd stuff from early '72, some early Doors stuff... that early '67 Thirteenth Floor Elevators concert (I think it later got released properly)...

    So those Sept 1970 Fillmore recordings, what exists of them, should absolutely be made available to the public after Dr. Norman takes his best shot. "What's to lose / We're NOT confused/ You can call this set / The Fillmore East blues."

    6/14/94 - Seattle Memorial Coliseum

    TN John - very cool! (a bc bday show not that I was there.) my FOTDs box set is crossing the Great Basin right now (i think) based on tracking. Hopefully by Tuesday next week.

    6/14/94 - iwt and got here listening today via a circuitous route of JOTM (from 3/11/93 Rosemont) drive home last night which has a late period Masterpiece and this morning (gestures wildly) somehow saw the set list here and thinking "wow" I saw a Masterpiece in 94. And from there Set I etc. Very unusual set list Set II and a really fun and fine well played show. Posting now because Set II leads off with 45 second structured drumz intro to Victim and it caught my ears as something I had "never" heard (despite being there!) Victim into Lazy River Road. And then the second Samba In The Rain, which I will unabashedly say sounded great that night, totally new to me, and strong cool memory of Phil/Bob/Jerry/Vince singing the chorus and it rocked. Samba > Trucking > and a super chill That Would Be Something into drumz. Those late era shows in Seattle Memorial Coliseum kicked it.

    I've heard this show many times on the lots and in the years since at home. I was rolling through this box set while waiting for the new one, so what the hell. This is a great show, but I still think Buffalo and Hartford are better May '77 shows.

    I agree with Obeah - I think it would be great if these shows were officially released, even if they are incomplete and in less than optimum sound quality. It would be a pity if great music from the past was overlooked simply because it doesn't meet modern recording standards. I have some great live recordings by other bands and artists that are audience recordings. Not great for first time buyers - but that isn't the market here anyway.

    September 1970 - or: Proudfoot and Doc, hear them!

    If I had a time machine I'd go back to July 1970 and offer to substitute for Bear. What a time for him to have his bail revoked! So much amazing music was about to break over the scene.

    God bless all the tapers who captured what they did... not to mention the house crew at the Fillmore East, who got those board/PA feed recordings from the 18th and 19th. I mean, maybe they got they other two nights taped as well, but if so those recordings don't seem to have survived. As it is, what circulates isn't complete, and those in the know suspect the masters are long gone, too. What remains would be 1st gen reels at best. If those reels ever get into Norman's hands for release, the product will have to have one of those disclaimers like we used to get with the early "from the Vault" and Dick's Picks releases.

    To which I say: fine by me! Please make it happen Dave and Rhino. We ain't getting any younger out here... and it's been 54 years. You could make this next year's box set, double the run to 20,000 copies, and it would still sell out FAST. (Side note: I'd love to see what Jeffrey Norman could do to fix the flanging on Caution, which I am listening to as I type this ramble.)

Demons Out an original song by Ozark Matt words and music copyright 2017 all rights reserved. Recorded 8.27.17. We've been pushed around for far too long Hollow Earthlings scatter in their modern race Holographic tyrants seize our memories Unwarranted denial seems so commonplace You've been talking to Elvis again, comb your hair full of sin You've been talking to Stalin again, starve them all we will win You've been talking to Martians again, breathe their air it is thin You've been talking to Masons again, money is the root of it Demons in, demons out demons out demons out Liberty's at stake and they watch tv Credit cards have them on their knees Currency is Love in another age Beauty is the sword let them feel your rage You've been talking to Elvis again, comb your hair full of sin You've been talking to Stalin again, starve them all we will win You've been talking to Martians again, breathe their air it is thin You've been talking to Masons again, money is the root of it Demons in, demons out demons out demons out Mind control derails why you exist Muckrakers and slaves are your best friends Telekinesis pays the rent The Planets are aligned and your fate will bend He is a used-car salesman of God, watch and ring winking nod Daylight, jealous of anything dark, waning sight waxing thought Blood flow, travelling underneath skin, gas exchange dimmer switch Plasma, we no longer need purge the demons out, out of me Demons in, demons out demons out demons out
