John Lawton's GunHill - Live In Germany '99

 



This album was recorded during GunHill's Tour of Germany in September and October of 1999.The tracks taken from concerts in Hamburg's "Downtown Blues Club", Leipzig's "Kulturhaus Sonne", Schkeuditz and Magdeburg's"Gröninger Bad" are "unpolished"...straight from the desk...warts and all...to give the true feeling of a "live" GunHill gig.

This was also broadcast as BBC Rock Hour #422 on May 29, 1983 (versions A and B).

A longer version was issued twice, as BBC Transcription Services In Concert 301 and a CD version as Classic In Concert 6.  Both of these add "My Girl," "Madness," and "Tomorrow's Dream."

In America, three songs made it into the Billboard Hot 100: "Cardiac Arrest" at #33, the big hit "Our House" #7, with "The Sun And The Rain" sputtering out their two years on the chart. In America, it's all "Our House." That's the only one that you remember, and it still gets airplay.  But that's it, they're effectively a one-hit wonder here. 

In the United Kingdom, "from 1980 to 1986...when the band's songs spent a total of 214 weeks on the UK Singles Chart, holding the record along with English reggae group UB40 for most weeks spent by a group in the UK singles chart during the 1980s."  Thirty-six charting singles over a career that saw them with a #1 album in 2023.

We've got the original ad that ran in the trade publication Radio & Records, plus the announcement of the show AND the later concert review from the Santa Cruz Sentinel. 

Which said review was generally positive, noting he "put out 100 percent" with his "unique, if limited voice."

I never saw a show at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium.  Here's a picture of what it looked like when it was built in 1940.





Mr. Money appeared three times on NBC's The Source syndicated radio show with two concerts.  The first broadcast was in April 10-11-12, 1981, from Atlanta (that's in our vast Voodoo Archives).  The second was this show (Santa Cruz), which was repeated in December 1982 with different commercials and announcements.

We've got a 300 dpi scan of the cue sheet.  We're missing the scans of the disc labels...but we found a print ad from Radio & Records magazine, which describes the show as "Fistfuls of rock 'n' roll dynamite."

By the end of the year, the venue was gone. Plus!  A review of the show!

A glance at the print ads in the Philadelphia Inquirer shows this was a WMMR-FM 14th Anniversary concert.  The headliner was Aldo Nova.  Hazard was added to the bill later, as he's not listed on the first print ad which only mentioned the second bill as "Special Guest."


Southside Johnny turns up as the stage announcer, but it doesn't look like he played a set that night.


This one sounds great up until the last twenty seconds of "Say Yo" and then the radio reception goes wobbly, which continues through "Blowing In The Wind." There are volume issues, plus a heavy dose of radio static. Before that, everything's great on this one. I did what I could to knock down the radio static with Click-Fix plus leveled out a few of the volume issues.

The New Barbarians Culver City Rehearsals - *BACK FROM THE DEAD ORIGINAL POST DATE 10-17-19

*BACK FROM THE DEAD (AGAIN)
*NOW WITH NEW LINK (AGAIN)
The setting, England, the late 1800's. We open the scene, in an old apparent abandoned cabin. What little light is available is provided by the full moon. Lying next to a fire place with no fire going is a mangy looking dog, cold and hungry, lost alone in his thoughts. "Damn, he thinks, he's out there ravaging, plundering, and scaring the shit out of the locals. Meanwhile this bastard has left me with an old hand bone that I've been chewing on for two fucking weeks. Heaven forbid he would light a fire to keep this shit hole warm, but we all know he's afraid of fire, lame ass. Why can't he cook us up a big pot of gruel? Oh yeah, the fire thing. Goddamn, if there was another cabin around I'd bolt in a second, but I'm afraid of his so called friend Larry Talbot eating me. Speaking of that shithead Talbot, last time he was here that fuck tried to hump my leg. I'm famished. Guess I'll have to go out by the old graveyard and dig up one of those old gamy legs I buried a couple of months ago. But you know, fuck it, first I'm gonna shit on this old rag he calls a rug. He'll probably spank me but that prick has it coming, why he would take me in is beyond me. We never play fetch anymore and I have to fight him over any piece of thigh he brings. Well the sun is starting to come up so he'll be home soon. Hope he terrified the locals or I'm gonna be in for a world of shit. So goes the mind of Frankenstein's dog. See scans.

CHANCES ARE THAT YOU MIGHT FIND THAT WE SHARE A COMMON DISCOMFORT NOW

GTR - Neurotrend ( Unreleased 2nd Album )

 



Max Bacon was part of super-group GTR founded by Steve Hackett & Steve Howe, and their only official album. However, there was a second album in the making, “Nerotrend“, that never materialized. Bacon sung some of the songs, the others were performed by the exquisite Robert Berry (Alliance UK, Hush). It is very interesting to listen to the different styles of Bacon and Berry on a same song (Young Hearts) and what would have been GTR second album. This really is a must for any GTR collector, and all the musicians involved.There was a bootleg of this unreleased material, but this is taken from a first generation tape owned by a recording studio employee, with much better sound quality.

     The first six tracks are Robert Berry songs and are all sung by him. These were songs that the Robert Berry Band performed back in California in the mid ‘80’s and were the demos that Robert gave away on cassette at gigs as a band sampler. According to Robert, these were just demos and not intended specifically for GTR and did not reflect his vision for GTR.

Steve Howe – guitar, backing vocals (1985–1987)

Steve Hackett – guitar, backing vocals (1985–1986)

Max Bacon – lead vocals (1985–1987)

Phil Spalding – bass, backing vocals (1985–1987; died 2023)

Jonathan Mover – drums, percussion (1985–1986)

Robert Berry – guitar, backing and lead vocals (1987)

Here we have one of the last of the Superstar Radio Network promotional discs from 1981. Most of these came out in 1977 and 1978.  This one is a straggler, coming in in the middle of 1981.

This is from the Sam Eliot's Mustache Collection; he shipped it across the country last week and I figured we needed a break from the Source shows, so here it is.

There were three sides of live music.  The fourth side was etched with autographs by the band.  The autographs are hard to see even in good light, and don't reproduce well in a photograph.  You have to hold the record up to a light source and tilt it to get them to stand out. Hey, I'm a lazy sod (as the Sex Pistols put it) so I fixed the problem with a bit of flood-filling in graphics program. We go the extra mile here at the Voodoo Wagon.

Scottish singer-songwriter Gerry Rafferty, best known for his time with Stealers Wheel, live at the Hamburg Music Hall on 2.12.1993. Recorded and broadcast by Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) in Germany. Gerry only toured three times as a solo artist; In 1978, 1980 and 1993. There are few broadcast recordings of his concerts, so this is a rare find.

Includes 300 dpi scans of all four disc labels, the cue sheet, the script, and wonder of wonders, the affidavit! 

First mystery:  the disc labels say NBC 81-5, and the run out grooves say NBC-81-6.

At the end of 1981, NBC's The Source began putting a show number on their concerts and specials.  Prior to this there was no number on the disc label.  There was a number etched in the runout grooves but it didn't correspond to an organized system.  For example, The Joe Walsh Concert broadcast July 24-25-26, 1981 was CMV-47937.  The following week's show was CMV 47932. Hall & Oates Concert Encore.

It's likely that getting the numbering system up and running was push-starting your car and popping the cluth:  there were a few misfires before it started running smoothly.  I've never been able to identify any concerts or specials with the numbers 81-1 or 81-2, for example.

This show has no announcer.  A script was included for the start and end of the show.

Southside Johnny & Little Steven – Unplugged 1993

 


Southside Johnny & Little Steven – Unplugged

Recorded for the K-Rock Hungerthon Rent Party, New York City, November 21, 1993

WXRK-FM Radio Studio, New York City, New York, USA

Back in 1993, Bruce Springsteen guitarist Little Steven—who cofounded Southside Johnny’s Asbury Jukes in the mid 70s—teamed up with Southside to perform an acoustic benefit concert that aired on New York radio. The show, which embraced several of their best-known originals as well as a long menu of well-chosen covers, featured Asbury Jukes guitarist Bobby Bandiera as well as their former bassist David Hayes and the E Street Band’s Soozie Tyrell on violin.

    It helps that the material is as good as the performances. Highlights of the 18-track set include a definitive reading of Van Zandt’s “I Don’t Wanna Go Home”; Springsteen’s “Rosalita” and “The Fever,” the latter an Asbury Jukes staple; Neil Young’s “Like a Hurricane,” Hank Williams’s “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” and versions of Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight” and Van Morrison’s “Into the Mystic” that arguably outshine the composers’ fine originals.

This is another of the "no commercial breaks" NBC shows.  The Triumph concert broadcast two weeks earlier was missing ads, too...and didn't have any announcers.  For this one, they brought in Nick Michaels.

We're not sure what happened. Maybe someone dropped the ball over the Christmas holidays.  Maybe a sponsor dropped out, an announcer quit, a management change... Further study is needed.

I cleaned up the transitions, applied some fades, declicked...the usual...

There was an original Starfleet Blair live broadcast (see ad) on the day of the concert.  The NBC The Source show is a later edited rebroadcast.

I found scans of the cue and disc labels at Discogs.com, plus newspaper listing for the show.

There is one big mystery on this show:

Where are the ads?

My first thought was this was an edited version.  Maybe Sam cut the commercials out of it?  A look at the cue sheet shows three slots for "LOCAL COMMERCIAL AVAIL."  There are no national advertisers listed.

There are no announcers, either.  Instead there is a script for the local disk jockey to read at the opening and closing of the show.

We don't know why there's no announcers and ads.  

We're missing the scans of the disc labels on this one.  I couldn't find any ads for the show or concert reviews, but I tossed in two stories I found in Canadian newspapers of the time.

Another tape discovered down in Đ®åⒻṬëŕṽøï's basement.  I got this in trade, and it's several generations down the road from the master.  There's hiss, but not so much as to ruin it.

I found an entertainment listing in the Chicago Tribune that confirms the date of the show.  This was from a later rebroadcast on WXRT's Sunday Night "Unconcert."

These rebroadcasts are often edited down from a longer original radio broadcast...so there may be a longer original concert.


Okay, you guys...yeah, I'm piling this RIGHT ON TOP of the Pretenders show down the blog here.... 

 The Pretenders show is friggin' useless, as it's been released, and the only reason I'm posting it is to document it as a radio show that existed.  In short, it's here for the commercials and the announcements; go buy the 3-cd version of Pretenders II if you want to hear the concert.  I'm feeling guilty for subjecting Our Beloved Audience to it, as this sort of documentation is a bit crazy. Does anyone actually CARE about a 44 year old radio show when you can buy the full concert? 

PLUS, your pal Đ®åⒻṬëŕṽøï has been on a run of NBC The Source shows for a while, and I don't want to get all BORING doing the same thing over and over and over and over.  So...this is here just to break things up a bit!

NBC The Source - The Pretenders, Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, Santa Monica, Sept. 4, 1981

The Pretenders
NBC The Source NBC 81-11 
broadcast dates: December 11-12-13, 1981

Recorded at:
Santa Monica Civic Auditorium
Santa Monica, CA
September 4, 1981

01 John McGhan - NBC The Source 81-11 Intro
02 Pretenders - The Wait
03 Pretenders - The Adulteress
04 Pretenders - Message Of Love
05 Pretenders - Talk Of The Town
06 Commercial - Levi's
07 Pretenders - Stop Your Sobbing
08 Pretenders - Private Life
09 Pretenders - Kid
10 Commercial - Levi's
11 Pretenders - Up The Neck
12 Commercial - Levi's
13 Pretenders - Brass In Pocket
14 Pretenders - Mystery Achievement
15 John McGhan - NBC The Source 81-11 Outro

This concert was originally a live satellite broadcast by Starfleet Blair.  I've included the original print ad for the satellite broadcast, but this is NOT sourced from that broadcast.  The ad does not mention NBC's The Source program. 

In December 1981, NBC The Source did a syndicated rebroadcast of ten of the tracks.  That's this version.

The next year in 1982, there was a promotional release entitled 'Pretenders Live At The Santa Monica Civic.' This was part of the U.S. promo-only LP series 'The Warner Bros. Music Show' issued as WBMS #121. While the disc label had the red "Bugs Bunny" disc label common to this series, it had a different "Starfleet Blair" album cover. This version has 13 tracks, adding "Louie, Louie," "Birds of Paradise," "Bad Boys Get Spanked," "Day After Day" and "Higher and Higher" and dropping "Brass In Pocket" and "Mystery Achievement."

In 2021, the 40th anniversary 2-cd re-released of Pretenders II officially released 15 tracks from the Santa Monica concert.  This adds "The English Roses"...but note that it does NOT include "Mystery Achievement"

There is 3-cd version, however, that had EIGHTEEN tracks from Santa Monica.

So, go buy that one.  This version is digitized from vinyl, and is incomplete, so come on, go get the full concert. It'll sound LOTS better.

Originally booked for two nights Monday Aug. 31 and Tuesday Sept. 1, shows were added on Thursday and Friday Sept. 4.  But that wasn't enough for the Los Angeles market...they added ANOTHER show at Perkins' Palace in Pasadena, twenty-five miles to the east of Santa Monica. That's five shows in a single market, which shows how big the Pretenders were in 1981.

That's what Discogs says... I want to note that it's "principle" not "principal."  :)

I found newspaper articles confirming the date of the concert, and a mention of the Tubes taking part in a benefit baseball game between the WMMS-FM Buzzards and the Will Rogers Celebrity All-Stars.  The All-Stars included Wendy O. Williams from the Plasmatics, Fee Waybill, and Franke from Franke & the Knockouts (who were also the opening act for the Tubes).


Also, one of Our Beloved Readers (hi, G-man!) tipped me to additional Tubes tracks from the recent BBC show being available at: http://livebootlegconcert.blogspot.com

NBC The Source - Michael Stanley Band, Blossom Music Center, Aug. 26, 1981

Michael Stanley Band
NBC The Source
Broadcast Sept. 18, 19, 20, 1981

Blossom Music Center
Cuyahoga Fall, OH ("Cleveland")
August 26, 1981

02 Michael Stanley Band - In The Heartland

13 Michael Stanley Band - Don't Stop The Music
14 Michael Stanley Band - He Can't Love You
15 Commercial - Phisoderm
16 Michael Stanley Band - Let's Hear It
17 Dan Formento - NBC The Source 1981-09 Outro


The press release says, "Over the years the Michael Stanley Band has attained a huge following in their home turf of Cleveland, breaking all attendance records at the large arenas." The Plain Dealer mentions "This is the first time a rock band has performed for three nights at Blossom..."

The band was originally booked for August 24 and 25, with the third show on the 26th added.

As usual, I will drone on endlessly about Rock and Roll Geography: The
Blossom Music Center is in Cuyahoga Falls, which is closer to Akron (10 miles) than to Cleveland (30 miles).  The population difference in 1980 between the big cities was about 237,000 to 573,000, so while it was three times as far away, Cleveland was twice as big.  Which means from a national perspective, the show took place in Cleveland. Which is why announcer Dan Formento says, "...live in concert at Blossom Music Center, IN CLEVELAND, Ohio..."


In Cleveland? Or Not?
YOU DECIDE!

I turned to one of our regular readers (Hi, Matt!) who lives in the Cleveland area, and asked him to give the Voodoo Wagon the perspective from right there in the neighborhood.  Matt mentioned there was not much rivalry between the Cleveland and Akron areas, although Clevelanders view themselves as a bit more cosmopolitan, and Akronites are careful to defend their claim to homegrown artists like Devo and Chrissie Hynde...who are NOT from Cleveland.

I don't know New Jersey very well at all.  So I check Wiki and find: "Six Flags Great Adventure is an amusement park located approximately 20 miles (32 km) southeast of Trenton in Jackson Township, New Jersey. Owned and operated by Six Flags, the park complex is situated between New York City and Philadelphia and includes a water park named Hurricane Harbor. It first opened to the public as simply Great Adventure in 1974 under the direction of restaurateur Warner LeRoy. Six Flags acquired the park in 1977. The park is located right off of Interstate 195 and is along Monmouth Road (County Route 537)."

As with a lot of things on the Internet, there's more to the story, and "right off" is two miles, plus another half-mile or so into the park.

The press coverage details a traffic nightmare, where "Warm weather and a popular rock band's performance...blocked traffic on Interstate 195 and Route 537 for more than 12 hours."  The amusement part had closed it's doors to incoming traffic, so people parked their cars illegally along the road leading to the venue, constricting traffic.  

That was AFTER the show, so none of the frayed tempers and anxious parents have anything to do with the concert itself.

I also tossed in coverage of the death of band member Tommy Caldwell from a year prior, just to give you something to read this morning.

                              * NOW BACK FROM THE DEAD ORIGINAL POST 11-8-2021

First, don't be put off cause this is an audience recording cause it's a damn good sounding show. All instruments and vocals can be heard just fine. If like me, you love the "Too Hot For Snakes" show I think you'll like this one too. This was recorded three days before that show.

              THEY SENT BACK INTO THE RAT RACE WITHOUT ANY BRAKES
