Original notes:

Unknown mic/recorder – forgot to ask

This is just something to hold yourself over until the real pros feel comfortable releasing theirs.

She dropped off the memory stick and picked up her kids who my wife was babysitting.

The lady who recorded this doesn’t wish to receive any credit. She didn’t do this for any personal glory. If you know or think you know the anonymous contributor, let’s respect her wishes and keep any suspicions to yourself. Remember, most people who went to this show have many turns at the will call window in coming weeks.

LANG LANG
Boston Symphony Orchestra
Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos conducting
Boston 2013 [no label, 2CD]
Live at the Symphony Hall, Boston, MA; March 2, 2013; broadcast on WCRB HD-FM Boston March 10, 2013. Excellent audio.

Thanks to zootype who recorded and shared the show at Dime.

“With Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos on the podium, the sensational Chinese pianist Lang Lang makes his BSO debut in Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2. Two works tied to the history of the Boston Symphony Orchestra bookend the program: Hindemith’s “Konzertmusik for Strings and Brass”, commissioned by Serge Koussevitzky and the BSO on the occasion of the orchestra’s 50th anniversary in 1931, and Bartók’s ingeniously kaleidoscopic “Concerto for Orchestra”, a Koussevitzky commission premiered by the BSO in 1944.” – bso.org

ERIC CLAPTON
First Impression [EC Is Here, 2CD]
Live at the Phillips Arena, Atlanta, Georgia; May 21, 2001. Excellent soundboard.

At this point of the game, when all the key Clapton boots are already in circulation, what’s left is essentially for the diehard fans and collectors. And it’s true, The Impressions are marvellous!

Thanks to the person who shared this on the net in 2005.

Uploader’s notes:

Widely regarded, at least by the crew, as one of the best shows of the 2001 “Reptile” tour. Perfect “true” soundboard recording does not have any audience noise except for occasional bleed-through into the stage mics. The sound is comparable to the Mid Valley “Double Image” shows. Thanks to malbie for ripping, scanning, and converting!

VINEGAR JOE
London 1972 [no label, 1CD]
Live at the Golders Green Hippodrome, London, England. BBC In Concert 1972. Excellent FM broadcast.

Robert Palmer… back when he could have been a contender.

Thanks to fredheadset who shared the show on the net in 2006.

Uploader’s notes:

This R&B based rock outfit was the launching pad for the careers of Elkle Brooks and Robert Palmer. Formed with much encouragement from Island Records boss Chris Blackwell, it rose from the ashes of short-lived jazz-rock combo Dada. Robert Palmer had previously sung with Alan Bown; Elkie Brooks had previously had an unsuccessful solo career and Gage had been with The Zephyrs and then Geno Washington and The Ram Jam Band. Their gutsy musical style ensured they were a popular live attraction, but although their records were solid enough they had difficulty translating their live sound onto vinyl. They split up late in 1973 and Palmer and Brooks both went on to successful solo careers.

Taken from a rare 1973 original UK BBC Transcription Service radio library LP.
Broadcast by Dutch radio staion VPRO Radio on June 30. 1978.

STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN & TRIPLE TROUBLE?
Lubbock 1978 [no label, 2CD]
Live at Stubb’s Barbecue, Lubbock, Texas 1978. Very good to excellent soundboard.

Thanks to longjam for sharing this show at Dime. longjam noted: “I think all the bootleg flooding around came from THIS tape… (got this tape from an American frendly friend).”

Some background from dirtyfunky.blogspot:

In 1975, [Stevie Ray] hooked up with another popular Austin group, Paul Ray and the Cobras, a two-guitar band with Stevie in the background. After two years, they only had one single recorded, and Stevie grew frustrated and quit. He was still in the shadow of his big brother. Jimmie’s new group, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, were the talk of Austin, and became the house band at Antone’s. In late 1977, Stevie decided it was time to put together a band of his own called “Triple Threat,” which included bass player W.C. Clark, Freddie “Pharoah” Walden on drums, and singer Lou Ann Barton.

On December 23, 1979, Stevie Vaughan married a tough-minded Lebanese woman named Lenora “Lenny” Bailey between sets at the Rome Inn in Austin, TX. W.C. Clark left Triple Threat in mid-1978, and Stevie renamed the band “Double Trouble.” He then asked drummer Chris Layton to join the band. After an embarrassing post-show incident with drunken Lou Ann, Stevie became the new lead singer and guitar player after he fired her.

These are the “factories” of 21st-century globalisation – poorly built shelters for a production process geared toward long working days, third-rate machines, and workers whose own lives are submitted to the imperatives of just-in-time production. By Vijay Prashad.

On Wednesday, April 24, a day after Bangladeshi authorities asked the owners to evacuate their garment factory that employed almost three thousand workers, the building collapsed. The building, Rana Plaza, located in the Dhaka suburb of Savar, produced garments for the commodity chain that stretches from the cotton fields of South Asia through Bangladesh’s machines and workers to the retail houses in the Atlantic world.

Famous name brands were stitched here, as are clothes that hang on the satanic shelves of Wal-Mart. Rescue workers were able to save two thousand people as of this writing, with confirmation that over three hundred are dead. The numbers for the latter are fated to rise.

Live at The Hilton Hotel, Las Vegas, August 30, 1974. Excellent soundboard.

Thanks to the person who shared this on the net in 2005.

This is what Sergio Luiz Biston wrote at the Elvis In Norway website:

Despite some strange moments, comments and (some) too long monologues, this is a fine performance, with an inspired and dedicated Elvis. He’s maybe a little too chatty, but the good outweighs the bad. If you want a good and uncommon concert, go to Night Fever In Vegas. You won’t regret it.

PETER HAMMILL & VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR
Montreal 1974 And More [no label, 1CD]
Live in Montreal 1974; Belgium 1971 and BBC 1971. Excellent FM and TV broadcasts.

Singer-songwriter Peter Hammill was also a founding father of the prog-rock group, Van Der Graaf Generator, and his solo career has coexisted with Van der Graaf Generator’s activities. As the wikipedia noted, for the majority of both his solo songs and the band’s songs he is credited as the sole songwriter, and some of his solo albums feature all the members of Van der Graaf Generator). In general, however, solo Hammill is concerned with more personal matters, while the band’s songs deal with broader themes.

Maybe Harmony Korine figured big names like James Franco and Selena Gomez and the allure of girls flashing their nipples are enough for Spring Breakers but as Critic After Dark Noel Vera says, the film’s only like a day-glo g-string in the dank Miami night.

Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers (2012) is some kind of masterpiece – compared to all the Girls Gone Wild videos, and lord knows I’ve seen more of them than I want to admit, his movie is the Citizen Kane of teenage vacation pics.

Easily the best moments come at the beginning, when the picture for maybe ten minutes doesn’t really feel the need to explain anything – just splice together footage of girls and boys flashing nipples and ass cracks, gyrating and spraying beer everywhere like surf breaking on rockface, sprinkling cocaine on nubile skin like confectioner’s sugar on a finely turned bun.
