By Special Request from Germany!  Our pal Propylaen2001 asked if I had this; I didn't, but our behind-the-scenes friend Sam Eliot's Mustache had a copy back east; he shipped me a CD-R and emailed the scans.  I've chaptered the files, and here they are!

The big mystery on this one is the source and date of the Go material.  Our pal Bill Minkin introduces it as Go "recorded in England in 1976." I've got a newspaper clipping from the Acton Gazette that says "Japanese percussionist Stomu Yamash'ta has formed an exciting new group featuring Stevie Winwood, which is about to go on the road.  Only one British date has been arranged, and will take place at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday."  That gives us a date of May 29, 1976. 

Well, we don't trust, we verify. Or at least try to verify.  Over at Concert Vault they have a Go show identified as "Palais des Sports, Paris, France June 12, 1976."  The Concert Vault version of "Man of Leo" has the same vocal of "come on, get your hands together" at the start as the KBFH "London" version.

The two versions are from the same show. My understanding is the Paris show was the source of the official release Go...Live From Paris, and that the Vault tracks don't match the official release.

Klaus-schulze.com lists only these two shows (London and Paris).  No other concerts were listed.

I'm going with the London date.  My conclusion is that the streaming version has the wrong date and venue.

Retro Rock was produced by the Clayton Webster Corporation.  Billboard magazine Nov. 7, 1981 says “Chicago’s WLS-FM has premiered a new Sunday night show, “Retro Rock,” which showcases previously unaired “classic” concerts.  Featured in the talent lineup are performances by Alice Cooper, Country Joe and Fish, David Bowie, the Allman Bros., and the Monterey Pop Festival.”

Clayton Webster “claims to be the “largest independent syndicator of radio programs in the U.S.  Among its shows are “Retro Rock,” “Rarities” and “Country Calendar.”"

The Internet tells me the Incorporation date was January 5, 1978, and they were "voluntarily dissolved" on August 12, 1992.  Their registered address was 12400 Olive Drive, Suite 200, St. Louis, MO 63141.

I haven't tackled many Retro-Rock shows.  There's a Police and a Tom Petty in our archives, so this will be the third.  The shows tend to be shorter edits of previously broadcast shows (regardless of what the above Billboard blurb says about "unaired").  There are usually other versions already circulating, with more tracks.  

And thus it is with this Joe Cocker set.  The live tracks are from a 1980 concert in New York's Central Park, plus two studio cuts, and one lone 1972 live track.  The Central Park tracks were released in Australia as "Live in New York" and Japan as "Spirit of Live Concert."  While they're still "rare" in that they haven't had a domestic U.S. release (as far as I know...), they're up over at Concert Vault.

The interview portions are short, and not particularly illuminating.

So, this one's for Cocker completists, or for someone who wants to sample the tracks before you track down the import albums (if you're in the USA or Europe).

You know the Đ®åⒻṬëŕṽøï drill:  flac files of wavs.

No cue sheet this time, though.

VA - 1991-10-16 Sevilla 'Leyendas de la Guitara'

I'm aware that there are maybe better versions of this available, but ... since it was broadcasted and I've recorded the whole show with a VHS recorder in only stereo audio mode to avoid cuts, this was kinda holy treasure in my collection, so I "have to" post it here and hope you'll enjoy it like I did for all those years (OMG, in reality: almost 30 years ...)

I would like to address a few things that are my opinion's and my opinion's only. First things first. Brother Mitch, I've spoke with Mitch over the phone before, he was and is very enthusiastic about this place. He's always envisioned the Voodoo Wagon as being the best blog on the market. Right now I'm not in a state where I can help him out (hang in there Bro hopefully soon I can send a little something your way) but that don't mean you gotta be a DICK about it like Anon was. Jeez that guy said something about the mostly crappy post here, but doesn't that mean he was checking in regularly just to see what was new here? Hmmmm seems if the music we post is so shitty you wouldn't bother to waste your time with this site. Which leads me to my next rant. The music posted here. Many times there are things here that have never shown up on other blogs, and with 23415477908 bootlegs ever being released I'd say that's quite a coup. The stuff posted here as is diverse as you can get. How many blogs (including specialties blogs) do you have to go to to find say "The Black Angels," "Woven Hand," "16 Horsepower," "Five Horse Johnson" just to name a few? Look at our fellow contributor "draftervoi" his shit ends up on more sites than most others. Good work brother, I'm proud to be associated with you. Oh and as an aside VC, dude let bygones be bygones and come back. You had some of the best Hendrix post on the planet. And finally (here comes the ass-kissing part....not really) THE BOSS a take no prisoner's, shoot from the hip, tell it like it is guy. That's the number one reason I still contribute. I love his FUCK-YOU attitude if you don't like it, also HE HAS ALWAYS HAD MY BACK. I also love the the pictures of the women posted here. So none of the above has any thing to do with this post. But this does. Many many years ago I had the chance to see Joe live. Unbeknownst to me there was a lady at the same show whom I had never met that was sitting next to the columns of speakers, and to this day still suffers hearing loss because of that show, whom I later did meet and have now been married to her for 33? 34 years. So there you have it. One more thing I have included a hidden post in here somewhere. It's a CD that has never been released here in the good ol' US. However you're gonna have to search to find it and I will be taking it out by the end of the week-end. So act now. No covers. But the songs are:

1. With A Little Help From My Friends
2. Marjorine
3. Change In Lousie
4. Let's Go Get Stoned
5. That's Your Business
6. Delta Lady
7. Can't Be So Bad
8. Run Shaker Life
9. Mr. Bus Driver
10. Something's Coming

WELL IT'S TWELVE O'CLOCK AND I GOT THERE
