Made (1972)

Reposted from December 2020.

I don't know if you Harper fans are aware that Roy dabbled as a film star in 1972.

It's actually quite good

A classic British 'kitchen sink' drama.

Here's a gem from the Norwegian TV archives.

First broadcast by NRK1 on October 10th 1969 as "Plastic Fantastic ..."

(or so I'm told)

It's in B&W, as you can see from the screenshots,

but the quality of this copy is excellent

and the 28 year old hippy plays some nice guitar.

A must-have for any Harper fan.

Great show this one.
As I mentioned previously it won't play properly in my drive.
Tried it in another drive, however, and it ripped just fine.
Go figure?
After a couple of songs Roy says it is after midnight.
Makes me wonder how impromptu it was.
Can't imagine buying tickets in advance
with such a late start time...even in Hamburg!

Great audience recording.

Another show with Roy's son Nick.

Bit of a rowdy crowd on this but it may be of interest.

Almost sounds like it was recorded

by someone who is leaning on the bar.

This is a remastered soundboard.

It's a bit hissy in the quieter moments when Roy is talkng.

Noise reduction attempts did the recording no favours

so I decided against any such processing.

This tiny mp3 copy sounds really good though

and I can't imagine any Roy fan not enjoying it.

Hall 1/The Sage

This was billed as the last tour.

Roy is still on great form and it's nice

to hear him with other musicians for a change.

Roy struggles through Wolf at the Door

unable to remember the words

and even forgets the openning line to Cricketer!

but it's all part of his charm.

This is a pretty good audience recording

which I hope fans will enjoy.

I've got the lockdown blues today

and listening to this cheered me up a bit.

Here's something for Grizz:

Never had much info about this.

Exact date/venue is a mystery.

Sounds like audience recording.

It is pretty good sound-wise.

Only around 40 minutes.

I was looking at another show

from Hamburg 1988 but it turns out

my CD of that is completely screwed.

I guess I must have posted it years ago so

if anyone has a copy I'd appreciate a replacement.

Long shot I know but cannot find it anywhere.
