Another low generation cassette that I received in trade back in the 80s. This one is a Dutch mono radio broadcast. As was typical of tape trading when a show was short of filling a tape, my trading partner included bonus tracks. This one has "Tears" added from an unknown radio source (also mono), plus stereo tracks from the David Letterman and Tonight Show.
The show is drawn primarily from his first album (released Jan. 10, 1985). There are some interesting covers. While "Diddley Daddy" would turn up two albums later on Heart Shaped World, and "Dixie Fried" finally saw the light of day in 2011, the rest remain unreleased.
Pandora's Music Box Festivals were held in 1983, 1984, and 1985.
From Wiki:
"De Doelen is a concert venue and convention centre in Rotterdam, Netherlands. It was originally built in 1934 but then destroyed in 1940 during the German bombardment of Rotterdam in May 1940 at the outset of World War II. It was rebuilt in 1966, originally with one hall to which two more were added in the 1990s.
It has a variety of facilities, including the Grote Zaal (Grand Hall), a 2,200-seat concert hall, two smaller halls which each seat about 700 people."
The 1985 concert is noteworthy for a complex plan involving photographing everyone there (which apparently actually happened...). I've included a press release with the full plan, but the short version was:
"all visitors, musicians, festival workers and building staff will be photographed upon entering the premises. The roughly 7600 negatives will be transported by armoured car to a safe place. On September 26, 1990 the negatives will be locked away in a new Pandora's Box placed under the care of the dutch government."
The new negatives will be locked away in Pandora's Box for another 76 years...this cycle will be repeated for 76 x 76 years...On October 13, 7761, the last Pandora's Box will be opened and the negatives become public domain.
There is only one way in which the cycle can be stopped... The photographs from the negatives will be on sale for 760 days (from Dec. 11, till January 10, 1993)....the intending purchaser will be required to pay u.s. dollars 76,000,000."
This alternate plan included ..."the launching of a rocket containing...negatives...into outer space..." to the centre of the Milky Way, in search of the presumed black hole of our galaxy..."
Needless to say... other than the taking pictures of everyone there, none of the rest of that came to pass.
