JEMS is proud to continue our partnership with longtime Southern California taper Barry Goldstein. Barry began taping in the early '70s and has been active ever since, though his later work focused more on video than audio. In his heyday, Barry was a dual threat, recording the shows he attended and photographing, too, with impressive results.

His master tapes circa 1973-83 include several previously uncirculated shows and recordings of David Bowie, Genesis, Roxy Music, Fleetwood Mac, Rory Gallagher, Eric Clapton, Supertramp, The Who and others.

Beyond his own captures, Barry was a close friend of the late, great Mike "The Mike" Millard, attending many concerts with him as well as recording nights and concerts Mike didn't cover. Like Jim R, Barry shared Mike the Mike tapes with JEMS that are not in general circulation for our Lost and Found series.

Vol. 13 finds Barry inside The Palladium in Hollywood for Roxy Music, on tour in support of their critically acclaimed fifth album, Siren, released in October 1975. The band played just a handful of US dates in November and December 1975, before returning to do some 20 shows in February and March 1976.

It's an appealing if standard set list for the tour that includes covers of the Rockin' Rebels' "Wild Weekend," plus Dobie Gray's "The In Crowd" from Ferry's 1974 solo album Another Time, Another Place, and Bob Dylan's "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" to close the show, which Ferry did on his solo debut These Foolish Things.

Barry does have challenges with an unruly crowd at the start of the concert and elects to move to another location which does impact the sound quality of his recording until things settle during "Love Is The Drug." There is also a bit of later chatter from his guest for the evening, but most of the recording is quite listenable. Samples provided.

JEMS wants to thank our friend Barry for trusting us with his incredible archive of audio, video and photography. Thanks as well to Professor Goody for testing pitch and to mjk5510 for taking care of post production.

We look forward to sharing more of Barry's master recordings in 2025.
