From '74 (thanks, Bob!), when we thought this music would last forever. And we were right.
Mission Statement: "To do very little, for very few, for not very long." Disappointing the easily pleased since 1819. Not as good as it used to be from Day One. "History is Bunk" - P.T. Barnum. Eudæmonia, hermeneutics, phenomenology, ontology, chronotope, heteroglossia and mnemetics out th' ass! Artificially Intelligent before it was fashionable. Fat Camp for the Mind! "Nothing lasts, but nothing is lost." Proudly Content-Free since last August!

ReplyDeleteAah, Lowell ...
Just discovered your site as I was perusing Twilight Zone's Blog Roll and I'm like totally McLovin' it!! Keep up the good work! Remember, as the prophet once said, "Don't just eat that hamburger, eat the HELL out of it!"
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mr Dave! I think it may be the only blog on the internet with more posts than readers, but it's good to know that the four or five guys are the most handsome, literate, and sophisticated slobs in the modern world.
Delete(Incidentally, I think "following" the blog gets a bit of incremental outreach to like-minded souls.)
I lost this recording many moons ago (a complicated tale involving a Portuguese waiter and his girlfriend, Louise from Wakefield) so thankee young sir, thankee.
ReplyDeletePlease alert your archival research department that they gave you an incorrect date of 1978. This was originally released as a vinyl bootleg in 1976 or 1977 (historical records vary). Here is a track list for your gorgeous offering:
ReplyDelete01. Two Trains
02. The Fan
03. One Love Stand > Rock & Roll Doctor
04. All That you Dream
05. Cold Cold Cold > Dixie Chicken > Tripe Face Boogie
06. Teenage Nervous Breakdown
07. Apolitical Blues
08. Eldorado Slim > Got No Shadow > Chevy '39
09. Oh Atlanta
10. Spanish Moon > Skin it Back > Fat Man in the Bathtub
11. Willin'
Rumored Sources:
Ultrasonic Studios Hempstead, New York 14 Sep 1974
Winterland, San Francisco 14 Feb 1976
Santa Monica Civic Auditorium October 1973
The only track I can verify the date on is track 8 which is from the October 1973 show.
I can only assume that the move to the beautiful new headquarters has spoiled the archival research department. Please have a stern word with them about their performance (heads may roll).
Thanks for the info, Mr W! I never pretend to be an archivist. I'm a wise-ass bullshitter - hey! Play to strengths! What information I give out here is mostly a pack of lies (hence the blog title), so I'm very grateful for your comment.
DeleteGot to see LF live several times, both with, and without Lowell. Only disappointing outing was the last one at this year's Jazz Fest. But, band's set was beset by frequent issues with sound and about half way through, you got the sense they just quit trying.
ReplyDeleteIn the course of my long and wasted life, only two "rock deaths" have really moved me to the point of snurfling back tears. Lowell George was one of them, and Walter Becker the other.
Delete(The fact that they both owed me money has nothing to do with it.)
Lowell George's death hit me particularly hard since I saw him in DC at his very last show the night before he died. RIP.
DeleteOoff. He was more important to more people than he knew.
