Taped by: ztonez, uncirculated until now.
Sony ECM-DS70P microphone - Sony MD Walkman MZ-R35 - Soundforge (Clipped peak restoration, EQ, dynamics, crackle removal) - Trader's Little Helper - FLAC.
Sound: OK-
Fixed all clips but a lot of distortion remains. It was a small club and the band, especially Mr Dunbar, was loud as hell.
I had to patch the left channel into the r ight one for a few beats when Mr Burdon or Mr Dunbar was louder than a jet engine.
The Roadhouse Blues drum solo is the worst example of this.
If you think this is bad, you should hear the source... Soundforge - what would I do without you?
Fade out after Roadhouse Blues and first few seconds of No More Elmore intro missing due to disc change and fade in before Sky Pilot due to extensive crowd noise.
Great performance though.
Small audience for this tour, 3-400 people only due to last minute changes. The show was supposed to be in a different city.
Eric was at his warmest and funniest. Brought out a tray with cookies and distributed it to the front row.
Had a bottle of liquor and imitated pouring alcohol into his ears and over his head.
Someone disturbed him with camera flash. He posed for the photographer and asked: "Happy? Good... 400 ASA?" (Referring to negative film for those who grew up on digital.)
Twisted or added some lyrics, like :
When I was young:
Thanks for coming out, I know you could be home watching the war on TV.
How do we get there? How do we get here so quick from there / I don't that!
We gotta get out of this place (also includes a snippet of World Is A Ghetto - same as on all the shows of this tour):
Don't you know it's on my mind / Same thing as on your mind / We have the collective mind / Let's see what we can do with the collective mind / Don't leave your mother / Don't leave your father behind.
Good times:
I should have never gotten married / Had I known what she carried / ... / If you listen to me don't get married in California /
The doctor said you gotta take it easy / And it's just the beginning of the ... (here he imitated old age and heart failure, blowing a heartbeat rhythm into the mike.
Roadhouse Blues:
"I got myself a beer" was sung by a different member of the audience every time. Eric preferred solo voices, pushing his mike right into people's faces.
No More Elmore:
He used to drive me crazy / I knew one of these days I'll travel to the US of A and learn the very root of the bluuues!
House Of The Rising Sun:
Meine Name is Rory and I'm Schot tisch... (My name is Rory and I'm a Scotsman... WTF???)... Are you sure you wanna hear this?
Every morning I wake up before the sun / I walked down six kilometers breathing my lungs clean / Thinking about what I did the night before in some smokey bar / In some casino somewhere / Entertaining a fat man and his cigar
Dedicated to papy52 for a two-day turnaround on the excellent 2013 Vienna show. Bought 8 tickets for friends and family for that one but I was unfortunately 17,000 kms away from the gig.
