Buongiorno! O "BUONASERA"? E' una sorta di indovinello che risolverete ascoltando il Boot degli Zep... Si tratta dello show di Zurigo del loro ultimissimo Tour, quello europeo del 1980. La qualità audio è fantastica, ad eccezione di pochi minuti di registrazione Audience. L'unico, trascurabile neo del concerto è "Kashmir", a tal punto abborracciata e pasticciata dalla band che Plant si sentì in dovere di giustificare la deludente performance e mettere in guardia chi stava presumibilmente registrando lo spettacolo: "If anybody's bootlegging that, you'll have to scratch that number 'cause wasn't completely correct - somehow we got through it."
Si dice che lo show sia stato filmato in modo professionale...


Review:

"One of the best shows from the 1980 tour, this show has a great version of Heartbreaker and The Train Kept a Rollin'. Jimmy flashes between inspired playing and getting his fingers caught in the strings. The rest of the group play well and seem to be having fun, although they totally botch Kashmir. That caused Plant to commented it: "If anybody's bootlegging that, you'll have to scratch that number cause wasn't completely correct - somehow we got through it." Robert's voice is in great shape." (Argenteum Astrum)

Enjoy the listening! (And remember: comments are always welcomed!)

Qui potete trovare un articolo sul concerto, anche se il critico musicale che lo ha vergato pare non abbia assistito al concerto: Reed, al contrario di quanto sostiene il recensore, non ha affatto eseguito "Walk On The Wild Side" né, tantomeno, si è limitato a privilegiare "brani meno noti o più recenti". Non definirei proprio "Romeo Had Juliette", "The Day John Kennedy Died" o "The Blue Mask" come brani freschi di studio o misconosciuti (senza contare il fatto, inoltre, che tra "Romeo and Juliet" e "Romeo Had Juliette" corre una bella differenza). Il giornalista, poi, si sofferma sulle doti canore del rocker newyorchese, battezzando come "inconfondibile" l'"incedere meccanico e nasale della [sua] voce". E a questo punto sorge spontaneo il dubbio che Zampighi - questo il cognome dell'arguto ermeneuta - stia parlando di un Eros Ramazzotti alticcio piuttosto che del co-fondatore dei Velvet Underground. Già, perché tutto si può dire su un "maudit" come Reed, tranne che sia una sorta di "cant-automa" dalle nari occluse. Uno che, da poeta acclarato qual è, "recita" le sue canzoni, modulando magistralmente il timbro vocale sulle proprie liriche. Un artista che passa con disinvoltura da registri bassi e profondi (per accompagnarti attraverso il degrado e la disperazione della suburra metropolitana), ad acuti trillanti e "falsetti d'autore" (quando ti fa intravedere la luce alla fine del tunnel...). Insomma, la voce di Mr. Lewis Allan Reed potrà essere disperata e rabbiosa, malata e feroce, ipnotica e seducente, lieve e sognante, ma mai - dico mai - meccanica e nasale.
Zampighi, infine, virgoletta sarcasticamente la parola "modica" riferendosi alla cifra d'ingresso. Ebbene, a costo di apparire spocchioso, la somma di 22 € mi pare più che congrua, considerando che il costo di un biglietto per l'ultimo concerto dato a Modena da Claudio Baglioni (con tutto il rispetto per il cantautore romano) andava dai 40 ai 69 €...

P.S. Una graditissima sorpresa, per chi come me ha avuto modo di assistere ad una decina di concerti di Lou Reed in circa tre lustri, è stato l'inserimento in scaletta di "Jesus", "una ballata in forma di laica invocazione di salvezza esistenziale" (Wikipedia), che Reed compose per il terzo eponimo album dei The Velvet Underground... Dal vivo non l'avevo mai sentita...

RAY MANZAREK's Rock adaptation of CARL ORFF's "CARMINA BURANA" - 

"The Wounds of Fate" ("Fortunae plango vulnera") 

 

THE DOORS Live at the Beat-Club (Bremen, Germany - May 3, 1972) - "Tightrope Ride"

Ray Manzarek, founding member of The Doors, dies at 74 (CBSNEWS - May 20, 2013)

Ray Manzarek, the keyboardist who was a founding member of The Doors, has died. He was 74.
Publicist Heidi Robinson-Fitzgerald said in a news release that Manzarek died Monday at the RoMed Clinic in Rosenheim, Germany, surrounded by his family. He had been stricken by bile duct cancer.

The Doors drummer talks Jim Morrison's legacy

Manzarek founded The Doors after meeting then-poet Jim Morrison in California. The band went on to become one of the most successful rock 'n' roll acts to emerge from the 1960s and continues to resonate with fans decades after Morrison's death brought the band to an end. The Doors sold more than 100 million albums worldwide on hits like "Hello, I Love You," "Riders on the Storm," "Light My Fire," and "Break On Through to the Other Side."
Manzarek, a Chicago native, continued to remain active in music after Morrison's 1971 death. He briefly tried to hold the band together by serving as vocalist, but eventually the group fell apart. He played in other bands over the years, produced other acts, became an author and worked on films.
The Doors were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Manzarek is among the most notable keyboard players in rock history. His lead-instrument work with the band at a time when the guitar often dominated added a distinct end-times flavor that matched Morrison's often out there imagery and persona.
Morrison and Manzarek met at UCLA film school and ran into each other in Venice a few months after graduation, Manzarek recounted in a 1967 interview with Billboard.
Outwardly the two seemed so different. The strikingly tall, dark and handsome Morrison looked the part of rock star, while Manzarek, with glasses and comparatively close-cropped blonde hair, retained a more professorial look.
Inwardly, though, they were kindred spirits, as Manzarek discovered when Morrison read him the lyrics for a song called "Moonlight Drive."
"I'd never heard lyrics to a rock song like that before," Manzarek said. "We talked a while before we decided to get a group together and make a million dollars."
The band would make far more than that. The Doors, which also included guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer John Densmore, has sold more than 100 million albums and their music has been re-released and repackaged multiple times over the years, been featured prominently in movies and holds an oft-debated place in rock history. Manzarek and Krieger reunited to tour as The Doors in recent years.
While Morrison, with his proto-celebrity lifestyle and tragic end, forever will remain the face of The Doors, you could argue Manzarek's keyboard work was every bit as important and helped balance some of the singer's more over-the-top moments.
His creepy organ line on "Light My Fire" adds a weirdo menace to what outwardly is a rock `n' roll pick-up song. And his after-hours, lounge style on "Riders On the Storm" transforms that song into an epic unlike anything else the band ever did.
Manzarek was portrayed by Kyle McLachlan in the 1991 Oliver Stone biopic, "The Doors," and wrote a best-selling memoir about his experiences, "Light My Fire: My Life with The Doors," in 1998.
Manzarek is survived by his wife Dorothy, son Pablo, and three grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, family members ask that donations be made in Manzarek's name to Standup2Cancer.org.

Elvis Live In Las Vegas 1969 (Are You Lonesome Tonight - The Famous "Laughing Version") WAV Format

ELVIS LIVE IN LAS VEGAS from the International Hotel in Las Vegas August 1969


Hello Elvis' Friends,

someone recently posted this Compact Disc on his blog, without citing the original "source" [me ;-) ]. It's a Single Promo CD that I bought in Paris more than twenty years ago (summer of 1992). It's entitled "ELVIS LIVE IN LAS VEGAS / From the International Hotel in Las Vegas August 1969" and it contains the famous "laughing version" of "Are You Lonesome Tonight?", plus 3 unreleased tracks ("Runaway", "Baby, What You Want Me To Do" and "Reconsider Baby"). I know that it's quite simple to find these recordings nowadays (AYLT, for example, it's been released on the FTD album "All Shook Up"), but this Compact Disc remains a collectible item anyway. It comes with covers and in WAV format... Mail me ;-)

Have a Wonderful Day!

P.S. Dedicato ad ENRICO ;-)


TRACKLIST:

01. Are You Lonesome Tonight (the famous laughing version)
02. Runaway (unreleased version)
03. Baby, What You Want Me To Do (unreleased version)
04. Reconsider Baby (unreleased version)
