Nik Turner_1977-12-25 King's Chamber-Great Pyramid, Giza, Egypt

I received this Soundboard tape in trade from Gordon Stewart on 
cassette prior to 1980. The quality is excellent. It consists of
flute and some minor percussion and voices. Nik was able to play 
for 3 hours inside the King's Chamber starting on the evening 
December 25th and continuing through the night and ending in the 
early morning hours of December 26th. This recording is the first
part of the three hour session. See Nik's comments below.

Portion of interview by "Hit-Channel.com March 13, 2016:

Question: How was it like to record flute inside the King s Chamber 
of the Great Pyramid of Giza?

Answer: Oh, it was quite awesome, you know. It was fantastic. I was 
just sitting in on the side of the Sarcophagus, playing my flute, 
visualising the Egyptian pantheon of Gods. I did it spontaneously 
and I didn t know what I was going to play...I was doing mine very 
constructively as I was musically portraying Egyptian Gods and the 
Pyramids in time and space. It s about a dude that goes into a Great 
Pyramid on Venus, and then came out in Egypt. The Egyptian Gods are 
the crew of the Pyramid/Inter-Dimensional Portal and he s meeting 
Anubis, Thoth, Horus, Osiris, Isis and Nephthys. It was an awesome 
experience to be inside the Great Pyramid, playing my flute and 
trying to portray the Egyptian Gods musically for myself.

More transfers on Friday? Possibly.

    I started drafting this a few weeks ago but things keep changing. Feel free to disregard, if anything this is more of a diary / journal entry. I was hoping to have a lot more transfers but there is so much stuff on my February list that wasn't posted in years past that I really wanted to listen to. When the choice is the Itchy Pissholes in Vegas and The Who I will usually choose The Who. And I really have to listen to it as a few had inherent and correctible flaws such as CD skips and were thus trashed. And attempts at upgrades get me the exact same thing. Just merely being a conduit for recordings I have no intention of listening to just doesn't work which is why other than the odd untracked master I am not sending anything out I haven't heard. I always intend to post full comments and review but never do. Maybe next Friday I will have more as I recorded a few things and Vegas Anonymous keeps sending me stuff. Also found a treasure trove of untracked master recordings ...

My DVD Collection (Pictures)

 Getting some containers off Amazon but will probably be purging a lot. Not even watching anything right now and barely watch any of these. The format is terrible and those slimline drives are just foul. Dual layers? Even if I can get one to successfully burn now it will be unwatchable in a few years. Too bad, love video but can't make a career out of it. Or if I can, lemme know how.
