    Tangerine Dream & stuff

    Dave, I was waiting for inspiration to strike! Excellent call on the band & era ... just pulled TD's Bootleg Series 1. That ominous ambient intro to the first Reims set (12/74) is apropos of the Gothic venue. That one would make rank on the Time Travel Wish List.

    Earlier, the punky hard rock sounds of Rocket from the Tombs seemed the right antidote for some work-related production stress ("The Day the Earth Met...", "Rocket Redux", and "Barfly"). The more difficult things become on that front, the louder, faster & more strident the music from my speakers tends to be.

    The 31st I’ve heard but giving it the once over again.
    The 30th things pick up with a different, noticeable energy versus the previous 2 shows. A fine show and similar to earlier in the fall.
    The 27&28 are good shows, perhaps just not as much juice?
    CAT, Hamza Drumz, and Baby Blue stood out on the 27.

    28 had a nice Muddy, Stella, fun Victim>FH to close first, with one of the show highlights being the sweet jam out of FH! In fact, where they maybe don’t always rock as hard here, there’s many cool jams during the fall/winter, which lends to a different kind of goodness! Think Bruce was into getting Jer to loosen up and explore these tours? The jam outta He’s Hone is a good example and another show highlight.

    The 30th opens with an up Bertha, and SMOKIN’ Stranger! Sweet Candyman, High Time, boogieing Bobs, and fun, unfortunately last Valley Road.
    Second we’ll played, with another big Playin/jam/Drumz to be dug. Whole set is good but ole Jers voice is starting to ware at the edges a bit, which doesn’t bother me.
    31st has a good personal story, but a bit off color, so we’ll just give this fine show and fitting end for a (sans Brent’s passing) awesome year a ride, one mo time!
    Onward!

    This Black Friday release of the Glasgow 11/20/74 is great. A double album - the last side featuring excerpts from another show in 1974. In the same space as Phaedra and Rubycon, but the whole shows were improvised at this time, from beginning to end. This a really good one.
    Best get a pal to hold on to your ankles if you play it...you may end up floating up and away.....

    OK, no one else mentioned him

    Sorry to see Earl Holliman pass. Truth be told I didn't know he was still alive, let alone 96.

    I always enjoyed him in Forbidden Planet and The Rainmaker.

    He had a good run.

    Sort of slipped by me the subtext to the 12/3/79 listen. Guessing you were living in Rockford or thereabouts? 12/3 was my second show. I think it was a great show, certainly we all had fun! Lots of kvetching over that release versus other shows from Fall '79 but that era had so many great shows and folks have their own favorites. Sound quality of the release doesn't do it justice, but there's a circulating matrix that some may think captures it a bit better. Outside of some of the versions in May '77, the Jack-A-Roe is my personal favorite - start is similar in feel to those early versions and Jerry's solo is sublime. I think Phil quotes/echoes the bass line for Love Supreme late in the Playing jam. The Trucking to end Set II is take no prisoners. I'm sure it was pandemonium in the balcony.
