Joe Walsh, Etta James and Albert Collins - L.A. 1990 (wave)



























Joe & friends run through a fantastic set leaning
heavily on the blues. I know this FM recording
is available on lots of blogs but it's so good
I couldn't resist uploading it again.

Titus

King Crimson - California 1972 (wave)



























This is a poor quality audience recording which I have
remastered with little success. There just wasn't much
to work with. Having said that I do enjoy listening to it
because the band is fantastic. It's the 'Earthbound' line-up
of Fripp, Mel Collins, Boz Burrell and Ian Wallace.
These are the wave files taken from my CD but they
are NOT lossless having been originally sourced from mp3.
Ian Wallace died in 2006 and Boz, who went on to fame & fortune
with Bad Company, died the following year.
It's not the full show and Schizoid Man is incomplete.

Rick Wakeman - Santiago 2000 (mp3 at 320kbps)



























FM recording of Rick & band strutting their stuff in Chile.
The line up includes chip-off -the-old-block Adam Wakeman.
They play a setlist which draws heavily from Rick's earlier
albums which is fine by me as I haven't really followed
his solo career any later than White Rock.
No Earthly Connection is my favourite RW album.
NEC & JttCotE are not full length versions.
Arthur/Guenivere was the opening track but I decided
to ditch that one as it was completely drowned out by
terrible interference. (apparently due to an electrical storm)
Some liberal remastering/creative editing has taken place.

Titus

PFM - London 1975 (mp3 at 320kbps)



























Premiata Forneria Marconi are probably Italy's
best known progressive band. I would describe their
music as a mix of ELP, Gentle Giant and Jethro Tull.
There are introductions to each song by Pete Drummond.
He manages to cram in so much information
that I think it must be a world record.
There is a FLAC version of this doing the rounds
but I much prefer the sound of my old remastered mp3s
so that's what you're getting.
There's a lot of hiss on the first part of the
Mr. 9 till 5 section. It has a sensitive vocal
and I think they turned the mic up to capture it.
The BBC are usually shit-hot but they
made a pig's ear of that bit.

Titus

Luxor Shorts - Vol. 3 (DVD)



























Three Don Kirshner shows plus a clip from Italian TV.
Sabbath are amazing. Filmed around the time of the
Sabotage album - surely their greatest period.
This is the best quality version I've seen.
The Cameo footage has a code stamp in the middle
of the screen plus a timecode at the bottom.
Despite those niggles it's still superb. I have never
seen an alternative version. If you don't enjoy
this performance you'd better check your pulse.
The T.Rex broadcast is reasonable quality and certainly
shows Marc Bolan in a better light than the TV series.
Last is a nice B&W video of Soft Machine with Alan Holdsworth.

Titus

Another batch. A few audio 'phuts' on the first episode
