Spock's Beard

Colos-Saal

Aschaffenburg, Germany 

May 24th 2007

Remastered audience source - medium quality.

It was was Ryo's birthday.

Same set as their live album which was recorded a day later in the Netherlands.

It occured to me how short-changed 'neo-prog' has been.

There's little in terms of BBC sessions/Radio Bremen broadcasts

featuring the likes of Flower Kings, Echolyn or Spock's Beard.

So a big thanks to our Aschaffenburg taper.

TangeKanic

ProgStock Festival

Rahway, NJ

October 15th 2017

Remastered cam audio.

Not the greatest sound but fairly listenable.

The Tangent and Karmakanic teamed up on this tour.

I recall, in Chepstow, Andy asked for 30 seconds silence during 'Sanctuary in Music'

...and you could hear a pin drop.

Sadly, that is not the case here.

Good Rats

The Peppi Marchello Demos

1978-1979

Long Island, N.Y.

These are remastered studio demos

which I believe were acquired from the band's sound engineer.

The live gigs are excellent but I think these recordings

give a different perspective on Peppi's talents.

A little gem for Rats collectors.

Progglådan Box A: Tung Rock & Blues CD 108

Solen Skiner/Piska Mig Hårt

Solen Skiner (the sun shines)

Decent enough blues with slide guitar and harmonica

Has occasional elements of psychedlia.

The Rolling Stones jamming with Canned Heat and Amon Düül?

Piska Mig Hårt (whip me hard)

A 60s/west coast feel with some proggy bits.

I like it.

Their name reminds me of a tiny street in York:

Blue Öyster Cult

Civic Auditorium

Santa Monica, CA.

March 27th 1986

This is a fresh transfer/remaster from my (very old) ASDA CD.

I think it was a KBFH broadcast which may have also been filmed.

Notable for the rarely played White Flags, Shadow Warrior and Wings of Mercury.

Tommy Zvoncheck is a great keyboard/synth player.

He goes all Klaus Schulzey on the intro to 'Take Me Away'.

BTW...I'm pretty sure this is the only BÖC recording I've heard

with no songs from Tyranny and Mutation or it's dark neighbours.

You can catch them on tour with Skids:

The Outlands album was a favourite of mine back in the 80s.

Captain Beefheart

Performance Center

Cambridge, MA.

May 3rd 1974

Remastered audience recording.

Purists consider this era something of a sell-out but I like all the Beefheart albums

and he didn't exactly turn into Lionel Richie FFS.

This is a new remaster from my old CDs.

There is a bonus post-gig interview which sounds like it took place at the hotel

in the early hours of the following day.

Beefheart dismisses his connection to Frank Zappa

(He would be on tour with The Mothers the following year)

and even denies they went to school together.

Änglagård

Marx Inn

Milwaukee, USA

December 18th 1993

Remastered audience recording.

Always hard to record/remaster Änglagård.

They can go from gentle, barely audible, pastoral sections

into heavy assaults at the drop of a hat.

Luckily there is very little crowd noise.

So much so that I wondered if it may be soundboard.

(says audience source in my old notes)

Sounds too ambient for a SBD so perhaps it was not well attended

giving our taper the chance of an isolated position?

IT's a brilliant gig with a Genesis cover encore!

Progglådan Box A: Tung Rock & Blues CD107

Rekyl/Anton Svedbergs Swängjäng

Two more obscure ones from the Swedish archives.

Rekyl do a Swedish version of the Stones' Street Fighting Man.

They are quite eclectic/directionless depending on your point of view.

(So a bit like Titus?...Ed.)

I believe Anton Svedbergs Swängjäng was a kind of music collective

with 50 plus members. It's both eclectic and good!

Pity we only get nine minutes.

The beginning of the first track by them sounds for all the world

like they are about to launch into Blue Öyster Cult's Red and the Black.
