I second that Rosanne Cash show. I went to that one (thanks, rozy!) and was happy to see that even thugh it was small room, they broadcast it in an adjacent lounge on TV where I was sure someone would be recording at least the audio. So many unique performances that night! But no one seems to have taped it!bil1cat wrote: Two that i wish would show, is the show with Elvis and the Finn brothers, and Elvis with Rosanne Cash doing the numbers show.

Guernsey, my first ever EC show was one, and I think it was still the threesome when they played Jersey (where I lived, but didn't attend cos as a 15 year old I'd blown all my money going to Guernsey and staying in a B & B with my mates - the Guernsey tickets were on sale well before Jersey was announced). I have a feeling there was one or even two shows in England too. I have looked it up in the past... As far as I am aware, there are no bootlegs of any of them (Sulky Lad would know if there were, and he didn't have any). I think the setlist was probably fairly standard, just with the additional battery of effects pedals. I remember thinking Oliver's Army was insane with no keyboards. Well most of it was, really. It just seemed INCREDIBLY loud to my 15 year old ears. And beery. And, I suppose, smoky. It was great. This would, of course, be my dream bootleg.Dr. Luther wrote:Right.And No Coffee Table wrote:

There were only 2 shows actually performed, correct?
I don't recall ever hearing anything about a setlist, even.
I remember you telling me Pete was the archivist.sulky lad wrote:I remember Pete Thomas ( I think) telling us that Steve would lose the cassette of the gig they'd just performed before he would reach their hotel ( or something like that). I think Verbal was with me at the time and maybe he could confirm this story.
I've got a bootleg from the Heatwave Festival in Toronto, 23/8/80 if that sounds interesting at all? PM me if it does.sulky lad wrote:Any of the UK Get happy tour from 1980 like Hastings where Elvis allegedly lost it during Alison or Porthcawl where The Attractions were apparently invited to go drinking with a local gang of skinheads !!

A public thank you to Sulky. Gosh it's good! Sound is good, performance is stonking. Very like the fever pitch of the PTC CD2 Austin Texas beauties, also with Backstabbers/King Horse segue, Possession (so good with the horns punctuating!) and Watch Your Step, but sadly no The Bells, which I just love.sulky lad wrote:Send me your address Otis and I'll snail mail you a copy - I'll get on with it tonight !

I'm by no means hardcore. In fact when it comes to bootlegs I'm basically a newbie. But the ones I'm loving right now are:Otis Westinghouse wrote:
This leads me to ask the hardcore bootleg aficionados for their top 5, say, recordings.
I have the King Biscuit Flower Hour broadcast on cassette tape, which appears to be most of the show when compared to the wiki listing. If not circulating, I can post on Dime.Otis Westinghouse wrote: Is there a boot of the rest of the Austin Texas radio recording that gives us the PTC gems? I'd like to reconstruct the show!
