In Memoriam
- Philadelphia, PA 1983 and Montreal, Canada 1984
[Swinging
Pig, TSP-205-3CD] (3CD set)
complete
King Biscuit Flower Hour material, superb sound
all
three discs packaged together in LP sized box
The
King Biscuit Flower Hour [DIR Radio Network] was a syndicated radio show
that specialized in live performance broadcasts. The "KBFH material" notation
on the boot list means "Excellent to superb quality multi-track recordings"
of some of Stevie's finest performances. TO DATE, the main problem with
"KBFH" broadcast discs [and their boot CD copies] is that they include
only a few songs from each performance. To make matters worse, DIR reissued
the same show many times, all with the same track list. There are only
two versions of SRV "KBFH" shows. Now the good news! The good folks at
Swingin' Pig Records, in their infinite wisdom, have released "In Memoriam"
[TSP-CD-205-1,2,3, 3 CD set]. "IM" contains the complete, unedited"KBFH"
recordings, including the tracks that were not broadcast on "KBFH." To
my ears, this set is without a doubt, some of Stevie's finest moments,
both in performance and audio quality. I am sitting here listening to the
1st CD of In Memorium and I am amazed at The Man all over again. This stuff
is unbe@*#$inglievable!!! Excellent sound quality, man I love bein on this
list!!

Mr
Lucky's - Denver, Co. 11/28/83 (1 CDR)
Very
rare - Steve drops into this small bar after openning for the Moody Blues
in Denver and is offered $100.00 by the local band thats playing there
"Rosie Malone" to play a few songs with them. He does (3) songs with them
recorded from the soundboard I believe on analog tape, not bad sound but
does have a good amount of tape hiss and channel intensity flucuates. Have
you ever heard The Sky is Crying with an harmonica included, not bad. Includes
Mark Balin on harmonica. Also has filler of SRV playing as a guest with
E.Clapton at The Palace at Auburn Hills 4/15/90

3: (72:51, 14 tracks), excellent sound
Dallas Sound Labs, Dallas, mar-apr85 (tracks 1,4-6,8-14) ("Soul To Soul" sessions) The tracks above have been verified to be identical to certain tracks on the "Soul To Soul" sessions tapes, which contain over 13 hours of material. The remaining tracks cannot be matched to any material on the tapes, so they may be from different studio sessions, possibly the "Couldn't Stand The Weather" sessions. The liner notes incorrectly attribute some of the "STS" tracks to the "CSTW" sessions, so the recording dates listed therein cannot be trusted. Tracks 4,6,8,11-13 can be found on the Life Without You 4CD set. Tracks 1,11,13,14 can be found on the Unsurpassed Masters set. <track#/title> <time> <notes> 1> Say What 4:25 2> Come On (Part III) 5:15 3> You'll Be Mine 3:52 4> Empty Arms 3:24 5> Instrumental #1 2:42 6> Instrumental #2 3:56 7> May I Have A Talk With You 5:48 8> Little Wing / > Third Stone From the Sun 18:56 9> The Sky Is Crying 1:27 10> The Sky Is Crying 2:01 11> The Sky Is Crying 4:36 12> Boot Hill 3:28 13> Come On (Part III) 5:51 instrumental 14> Say What 8:04 |
