Derek and the Dominos Concert

Fillmore East (New York, NY)

Derek and the Dominos

 

10.23/24.1970

 

I think this must be one of the best shows Eric ever played. If nothing else, check out: Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad.

 

You can get this on cd - Derek & The Dominos: Live at the Fillmore.

[renic]

Ohhh ill have to check those out. Hey Aman have you ever read Bills autobiography?

[Analogman]

Yes. It's really long as I recall. A lot of people probably don't know about what happened to his family.

[renic]

Yeah me included. I have insulated myself from that shit so the first 45 pages were really rough for me. However it was a really informative read.

[Analogman]

The closing of the Fillmore film is coming out on DVD soon - I wonder if they will leave the scene in where he fights with that one dude.

I'd have to agree. I'm a big fan of Cream, but this is easily the best I've heard him post Cream. Even if some think EC's a washed up old hack (and I know some do) this is a really smokin record.

[Analogman]

Also - Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle, and Jim Gordon - pretty great backing band.

[mountain bed]

Yeah, very great! Restrained, no frills grooves. The version of Little Wing (about a month after Hendrix died) is pretty powerful stuff.

 

You've probably watched it already but that footage of Derek/Dominoes from the Cash show is pretty awesome. I'm glad there is video footage of that band.

Fleetwood Mac Concert

Roundhouse Chalk Farm (London, England)

Fleetwood Mac

 

04.24.1970

Tracks: 16 / Total Time: 1:47:51

Catalog: Dawson Sound

 

Who is Dinky Dawson?

 

Peter Green - guitar, vocals, congas

Jeremy Spencer - vocals, guitar, maracas

Danny Kirwan - vocals, guitar

John McVie - bass

Mick Fleetwood - drums, congas

 

. . .By 1970 Fleetwood Mac's well deserved reputation as one of the most exciting and original bands on the planet had them touring incessantly. These pressures, along with Green's shift in musical direction and increasing dismay with the monetary rewards of the band's work, signaled the end was near. Although Green would play several more UK gigs, the band's April 24 th gig at The Roundhouse Chalk Farm would be his farewell London performance with the group. They had hoped to stage one more London concert on May 28th with their friends, The Grateful Dead, who would soon be making their first UK appearance at Newcastle's Hollywood Festival, but the musicians union denied permission. Contrary to online chronologies and even Peter Green's authorized biography, that May 28 th gig never happened.

 

Despite the fact that it was cold, wet, had a rickety balcony and insufficient facilities, the April 24th Roundhouse concert would be an emotional night for all involved and an extraordinary performance. With an audience of friends, family and the most devout London fans, this high profile concert was extensively covered in the musical press and was deluged by press and photographers. Until now, only print recollections and photography have ever been available from this concert and only those who attended had actually heard the performance. Here for the first time ever is that entire performance from beginning to end - Peter Green's final London concert with Fleetwood Mac.

 

As the recording begins and the band is tuning up, an announcement from Peter Green regarding the deluge of photographers can be heard. Despite the distraction, Fleetwood Mac launch into an incendiary "Black Magic Woman" to kick off the set. Featuring a strong vocal and tasty guitar work from Green, this slinky blues soon takes off into an astounding jam that clearly shows Green is already tapped into something very special. With a ferocity and otherworldly quality that leaves the popular Santana cover sounding like a pop confection, this is a tour-de-force opener that sets the stage for an extraordinary night. Following this opener, Green continues expressing his annoyance with the photographers, but immediately regains his sense of humor as he alludes to the Rolling Stones' giant inflatable penis pulsating above the stage. Greatly impressed by the sound and enormous breast-like visual of Dinky Dawson

Jeff Beck Group

Fillmore West (San Francisco, CA)

07.24.1968

 

Jeff Beck - guitar, vocals

Rod Stewart - vocals

Ron Wood - bass

Mickey Waller - drums

 

After exiting the Yardbirds in 1967, Jeff Beck recruited Rod Stewart, Ron Wood and Mickey Waller to help him pursue his own musical direction. Although the group lasted a relatively short time, the two albums they released, Truth and Beck-Ola, remain musical touchstones of hard rock that influenced countless musicians that followed. The first of these, 1968's Truth LP, remains one of the most groundbreaking rock albums of the era, featuring explosive soaring guitar lines over a pummeling rhythm section. Hendrix and Cream were pursuing similar directions within their own power trio formats, but the addition of Rod Stewart's passionate and distinctive vocals, in addition to Beck's innovative guitar playing, gave the group an intensity few could match. This set, recorded at Fillmore West during the summer of 1968, when the band was opening a bill featuring Moby Grape, captures the group shortly after the release of Truth - and performing at a level that is simply staggering.

 

They begin the set with a take of Willie Dixon's "You Shook Me," which soars directly into "Let Me Love You," both featured on the Truth LP. Within seconds, the band is blazing with energy. Stewart's passionately raspy vocals and Beck's searing guitar lines cannot be ignored. The biting guitar tone and use of sustain and a compelling call and response section between Beck and Stewart are so effectively realized that it is no wonder so many tried to copy the formula. None of this was lost on Jimmy Page, as this sound and approach virtually served as a blueprint for Led Zeppelin's live sound the following year.

 

A cover of Bonnie Dobson's apocalyptic vision, "Morning Dew," follows. Beginning sparse and foreboding, the song gradually builds momentum, the first verse highlighting Stewart's vocals before the band comes in hard for the second verse. The song vacillates back and forth, but after the return to sparseness in the third verse, they fly off into a furious musical rage. Ron Wood approaches the bass like a guitarist, adding fills and counterpoint, in addition to a fluid bottom end. Beck utilizes the wah-wah to add squawking sounds of death before they ease back down, tagging the song with a sad introspective little guitar coda at the end.

 

Following "Morning Dew," Stewart announces that Jeff is going to liven things up a bit with the showcase song from his Yardbirds days, "Jeff's Boogie." Incredible as that original Yardbirds recording was, it is tame in comparison to this. The song alternates between hard swinging rhythm and absolutely scorching solos, gaining in excitement and creativity with every pass. At one point, Beck interjects some humor by whipping into the immediately recognizable theme song from The Beverly Hillbillies! This explosive soloing continues until they suddenly stop, take a brief gasp of air, then continue the staggering barrage in double time! Truly breathtaking. "The Sun is Shining," composed by Elmore James, is a delicious slow blues number, featuring Beck and company playing in a more traditional manner. It's another winning performance where one can truly appreciate the nuances of Beck's tone, touch and technique.

 

Possibly as homage to the hippiedom of San Francisco, Beck closes the set with the rarely performed single, "Hi Ho Silver Lining," taking on the lead vocal himself. This obscure single was as close as Beck ever went toward pure pop psychedelia. With Stewart helping out on the sing-a-long chorus, and demented guitar solos galore, this performance smokes the original single in every possible way. Beck thanks the Fillmore audience, announces that Moby Grape is up next and the band exits the stage to a well deserved ovation.

I noticed that. It's a pretty loose performance, but it is very clear.

Yes, I know. We have already had a discussion about that place when you were here under another name. The shows at Wolfgang's Vault are professional/semi-professionally recorded - SBD, FM, Live in the studio, etc. Plus they are mostly shows from the 60s/70s.

Billboard article:

 

The once controversial Wolfgang's Vault, which has amassed the largest collection of licensed streaming live recordings on the Internet, is about to make a treasure trove of those concerts available for downloading.

 

Beginning Nov. 3, the site will add more than 1,000 titles to the approximately 500 that are currently available for purchase from the site's Concert Vault section, Bill Sagan, CEO and founder of Wolfgang's Vault LLC and its parent company, Norton LLC, tells Billboard.com. The additions will include more than 160 Grateful Dead concerts as well as titles from artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Aretha Franklin, Bonnie Raitt, Hall & Oates, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jethro Tull, Chicago, Miles Davis, Dolly Parton, Merle Travis and many others.

 

Leading up to the Nov. 3 "Cracking the Vault Day" blowout, Wolfgang's Vault -- which recently logged its 100 millionth streamed show -- is offering a small amount of new shows twice weekly. The site just put up a Grateful Dead concerts (from May 15, 1970 at the Fillmore East in New York City); future releases include Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin and Bonnie Raitt (Oct. 2), Hall & Oates and Boz Scaggs (Oct. 6), Santana and Chicago (Oct. 9), Lou Reed (Oct. 13), Miles Davis, Weather Report and Mahavishnu Orchestra (Oct. 16), Twisted Sister and the Ramones (Oct. 20), the Byrds, Dolly Parton and Waylon Jennings (Oct. 23), Cheap Trick (Oct. 27) and Bob Dylan, Mountain and Pink Floyd (Oct. 30).

 

The download prices will run $7.98 and $8.98 for MP3s and $11.98 and $12.98 for Flac recordings. Wolfgang's vault will also introduce a $48 annual membership which includes a $50 gift certificate, discounts on recordings and memorabilia and unlimited higher-end 192k streaming.

 

Sagan says that the new rash of downloads are "the result of negotiating agreements with performers and record labels that not only acknowledge our ownership of this material but gives us rights to exploit it" in a variety of formats, including ringtones and satellite radio. Sagan estimates that through the acquisition of a dozen archives -- including Bill Graham Presents, the King Biscuit Flower Hour, Silver Eagle and the Festival Network -- since its inception in 2002, Wolfgang's Vault has amassed nearly 10,000 live shows, of which about 3,200 are currently streaming on the site.

 

The agreements including royalty payments in addition to the mechanical royalties the company routinely pays to publishers.

 

"The objective is that just about everything we stream we'll be able to download," Sagan says. "When we hit Nov. 3, more than half the concerts...will be available for download. By Christmas or slightly after Christmas we'll be closer to three-quarters." Sagan also hopes to begin making video footage the company has acquired available on the site in the near future.

 

There are some holdouts to the downloading plan. Sagan says negotiations are continuing with big names such as Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, the Who and Dire Straits, and he's hopeful agreements will be reached with most of those in the near future.

 

In addition to the Concert Vault, Wolfgang's Vault also sells memorabilia, operates a Vault Radio network, displays music photography and publishes an online version of Crawdaddy magazine. It also operates what MacWorld magazine named the best all-around iPhone App earlier this year. The company's Daytrotter.com site, meanwhile, offers recordings by new, mostly independent bands

It's nice to see they are going to offer FLAC files.
