Steve Hillage

Free Concert in Hyde Park

London, England

September 18th 1976

Remastered soundboard/FM?.

I found this on a very old hard drive

along with a few other items which look potentially blog-worthy.

Not the full show but worth a listen.

I've read this was Miquette Giraudy's live debut.

Steve bollocks the crowd for fighting.

Steve Hillage

Sonesta Koepelkerk

Amsterdam

Decemember 14th 1979

Another reworked off-the-shelf CD.

It's certainly soundboard/probably radio...I forget.

Quality is very good.

I was a regular at Hillage gigs in the late 70s.

Everyone I knew was rather disappionted with Open

and the gigs around that time seemed weaker for it.

Steve was moving in a direction we were reluctant to follow.

...he had shorter hair and was wearing a jumpsuit. WTF? :)

Here's my ticket from a month earlier at the Free Trade Hall:

In hindsight it was good stuff which sounds great here.

T'was cosmic funk coming from an unexpected source.

I probably went home pissed off and stuck a Parliament album on.

Steve Hillage/Gong

La Laiterie

Strasbourg, France

November 3rd 2009

A glorious romp through Daevid Allen's trademark brand of psychedelic anarchy.

With the bonus of Steve Hilliage returning to his 70s roots as an aperitif.

Think it's audience sourced but the sound quality is fairly good.

I ripped it from my old CDs and fixed a slight drop-out in one song.

I was at the show in Manchester on the 21st and it was great fun.

The Hillage band were a little under-rehearsed at this point

but I've seen them a couple of times since and they constantly improve.

Last time was their headline spot at NOTP in Loreley.

That was really good and included Kavus Torabi on guitar and vocals

which added a lot to the overall sound.

Om.

University of Kent, Canterbury UK

February 28th 1979

(first broadcast March 10th 1979)

This is a later Japanese rebroadcast.

Great stuff from when Steve was beginning to dabble in funk.

I increased the volume as it was rather quiet.
