Little Boots VIII

Leave us get back in our comfort zone with this swell waxing from Rochester in '75 (it says here). There's nothing unexpected in the set, and it's the kind of performance they could turn in in their sleep, but there's a sweet version of Willin', prefaced by Lowell's story of getting canned from the Mothers for writing it.

 The laminated Kleer-Vu© sleeve comes to you, Mr Consumer, at no extra cost, and features a hauntingly lifelike Neon Park artwork.

      Yep, that's the one, Bob. It's also pretty damn near any other show they played. They probably had the slimmest repertoire of any major band [citation needed].

      The small selection of songs was probably due to Lowell's drug consumption. When you're wasted, it's hard to work on new material or even rehearse. I think that this why Lowell would sit out some of the newer songs brought in by Bill Payne.

      And Lowell had the nerve to blame the demise of the band on the democracy which allowed lesser talents Bill Payne and Paul Barrere album space for their compositions. If he'd spent less time recreating the ice age in his sinuses and more time writing songs ...

      And Jimi. Shone brightly, died prosaically. Left us with a magical but limited set list. Nobody's fault but his.
      Cheers, Peanuts Molloy.

      Jimi's death is a little more ambiguous. "Asphyxia due to aspiration of vomit, contributed to by barbiturate intoxication." Monika Dannemann, the last person to see him alive, has recounted enough inconsistent testimony over the years to make her the expert.
