Cream 2005: MSG reunion run
All three nights of the Madison Square Garden 2005 run.
Cream
10/24-25-26/2005
Madison Square Garden, New York, NY, USA
Using a two hour DAT tape, and a fresh set of batteries, panic began to set in around the time of the false start to White Room, as a glance at the meters showed one bar left, and approximately 15 minutes of tape. Would they play the same set as London? Could I risk changing tape and battery between White Room and the next song? (Mind you, as any field recorder knows, there is no way of knowing what or how long the next song will be, let alone the length of the banter in between...and the only pause between songs of any length up to this point was after Rollin' and Tumblin', as Eric chuckled, "You okay? You ready?" at Jack's winded state of health after his wailing harmonica/vocal jaunt that number, and even that pause was only about 20 seconds....I decided to risk it and let the tape run....and as Ginger launched into an extended solo, my gaze alternated between the time remaining counter on the DAT, the battery bar, and Eric's non-chalance sitting in the darkness on the side of the stage chatting to a stagehand about this and that, joined by Jack a few MINUTES later while Ginger still played, and even Jack finally rolled up his sleeve and glanced at his watch and he and Eric shared a giggle as I fidgeted frantically to get the extra batteries, and a fresh tape, and remember which way the batteries went in, and again thought "Should I swap out now during "Toad"? Did they launch into a new song out of Toad in London? Will the battery please, please, please hold out for another 5 minutes, when lo and behold, the stage hand wiped the neck of Jack's bass, handed him his guitar, and he and Eric rejoined Ginger for the conclusion of a ten minute Toad, the crowd went wild, and just before I quickly swapped out tapes and batteries, as the lights dimmed during the pre-encore applause, I noticed there were 2 minutes left to spare....oh the joy! the anguish! Just another day in the life of a taper...
enjoy!

I like a big neck - thick, flat and wide. I lacquered the fingerboard with Rustin's Plastic Coating. The tremolo is interesting in that the arm's made from an old bicycle saddle bag carrier, the knob at the end's off a knitting needle and the springs are valve springs from an old motorbike.

Patti Smith setlists
It is a work in progress, but extensive nevertheless: a website with Patti Smith setlists.
In 1999, the Patti Smith Setlists project began when I noticed that there were many errors in the information circulating about the concerts of Patti Smith (wrong dates, unknown venues, incomplete and contradictory setlists, etc). Then came the idea of creating an accurate document that would serve the community as a reference for any communication about Patti’s concerts.

Brian Jones: Stoned film
UK music magazine Uncut has some harsh remarks concerning Stoned, a film by Stephen Woolley about late Stones’ guitarist Brian Jones :
Woolley mounts the film brilliantly in the muted, grainy stock of the time – and there's sly references to Kenneth Anger, Performance and Blow-Up in there, too. But there’s something dreadfully sloppy about soundtracking Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" over an acid trip sequence. The film is noticeably bereft of Stones music, Woolley making do with a smattering of covers.

John Cale: Mojo reviews blackAcetate
English music magazine Mojo has a rather nice review (and short interview) about blackAcetate, the new John Cale album. Check out the November issue:
Few musicians these days under-promise and over-deliver. But by choosing to present his latest work as a return to conventional guitar rock, John Cale has ensured that listeners will be beguiled, baffled, and moved.
The surprises keep coming from the very first song, Outta The Bag, where the Welshman's warm, avuncular baritone is forsaken for a slightly bizarre falsetto, delivered over a squelchy, spare funk backing. The shock hardly diminishes as song after song rockets off at another tangent, contributing to an album that on first impression is confusing, intermittently thrilling and, yes, plain bonkers. Repeated listening reveals this collection studded with gems, wilfully eclectic, but with a strange kind of consistency.
(thanks: Ziggy)

Widespread Panic Lighting Director Dino Derose Killed In Hit & Run
Chris Rabold, Production Manager/FOH Engineer Widespread Panic on the tragic death of Dino Derose:
There is a big, big hole in our crew's heart right now. Dino Derose was a veteran of not just our camp, but of the industry as a whole. He was loved by all of those he worked with and all of those he worked for. For Widespread Panic he helped usher in a new level of professionalism and artistry with our light show. His work ethic was exemplary and I don't hesitate for a moment when I say that Dino was one of the hardest working men I have ever come in contact with.
