Robert Gordon & Link Wray @ NYC 1977-04-22

ROBERT GORDON W/ LINK WRAY
MAX'S KANSAS CITY, NEW YORK, NY, USA
APRIL 22, 1977 (Early show)
AUDIENCE RECORDING BY SKOTF
SKOTF ARCHIVE VOL. 34

AUD>MASTER CASSETTE>REEL TO REEL>STAND ALONE BURNER>WAV>FLAC

This is in fact the debut...

FLACs the same, new info/torrent.

I am going to try to reseed the whole archive this year, 250 something volumes of seminal New York punk, rock, and no wave.

Anything with reel to reel in the lineage is probably mono.

All the commentary was done as I heard this stuff for the first time. Tapes were marked with only artist, date, venue so I'd constantly be blown away by this guest or that song played.

Thanks to Arbuthnot & SKOTF
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The cdr I received had a note saying "Debut? I think so." I looked at the first lp and it not only says it was recorded in April 1977, but that Link Wray joined mid-sessions which would seem to confirm that this is the debut performance of Gordon & Wray. The SQ is pretty excellent (with a little bit of distortion on trk 5). Also, producer Richard Gottehrer is actually in the band here. When Gordon does the band intros he mentions that Link has already introduced them. That is not on this recording so the band must have played some before Gordon came out. Either way, hi, this kills.

BAND:
Robert Gordon - vocals
Link Wray - lead guitar
Charlie Messing - guitar
Billy Cross - guitar
Howie Wyeth - drums
Rob Stoner - bass
Richard Gottehrer - piano

SETLIST:
01. red hot

03. woman (you're my woman)
04. it's in the bottle

07. summertime blues
08. is this the way
09. flyin' saucers rock and roll

Enjoy!!

Band Of The Month: OASIS **FINAL 2024-10-10 with Round 10**

Seems like the tour excitement is catching on and a few fans have found this page. I don't have anything specifically rare but might as well put it all up. Don't really wanna clear out any of the Google drives so it has to be Pixeldrain. There is a 5GB daily download limit but I probably only have a few days worth. This collection is by no means comprehensive. Share widely if you wish. To be honest going forward - I don't like posting anything I haven't listened to. I lost track and can't really dedicate my life to Oasis right now so it's up to you to point out any flaws, most importantly CD skips from bad rips or too much diginoise - 2 things that make me trash a recording. Anyone have a complete Manchester Dec 1994? The one on Dime is heavily redacted. Can any of the experts recommend anything particularly exciting? Maybe I will make this a monthly thing with a different band. Or not. Like I said, just not feeling it anymore. RIP Douglas Parenteau aka OasisDou...

back on Friday

Lots of crashing ticket prices but unfortunately I didn't feel like spending 6 hours on the bus to Inglewood and back so I have been taking it easy this week. And finishing transfers. Same old drill, I will write up the info files Friday morning and post, possibly deleting stuff to make room so if you have been dawdling on anything, grab it now because once it's gone, that's it. None of the stuff I was threatening to do in lieu of staying home and working on tapes ever materialized. Too hot, too complacent, THC burnout, etc.  + + + And again. Since I spent $229.60 on a concert ticket last night I will probably skip Herbie tonight and a bunch of other stuff I had on the calendar but it was so worth it. More time to work on transfers and get stuff up and out though.  Same old thing, if I have any new transfers, I will write up the info and post on Friday. A lot of the stuff I listen to like one or 2 songs at a time, throw down the markers, get bored and move on to something e...

Back On Friday

 I guess this means I will be back on Friday with any new transfers I might have done. Which ain't much.   * * * *    I will be back next Friday with at least the uncompleted projects I was trying to get up the other day. I didn't go to a single show in the last week period. I have a bunch on my calendar but other than the Prima Donna show I bought a ticket for, who knows what I will end up hitting. I just got a text from the dearly neglected saying "we should go see Billie Eilish" but I think she was one and done for me at least until she hits the corndog circuit. I might take her down there, find her a ticket and turn her loose inside like I did for the Foo Fighters Santa Barbara show but not spending "real money" on my ticket. I also notice stuff on the blog disappearing beneath the fold - when you click "more posts" at the bottom of the first page, it cuts out a huge chunk of content. Like 6-10 entries. I tried changing the amount of posts per ...
