John Prine - Capitol Theater, Port Chester, NY, 4-12-2019

Here is a concert starring singer-songwriter John Prine. It is part of the April 2026 week of dozens of soundboard recordings from the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, New York. So the sound quality is excellent.

Prine's music career began with his debut album in 1971. This concert took place near the end of his career. He released the studio album "The Tree of Forgiveness" in 2018. But it would turn out to be the last album released in his lifetime, because he died in April 2020 due to health issues related to the Covid pandemic. 

In the leak I mentioned above, Nearly all of the recordings were a single audio or video file in mono. That was the case with this one. I converted the video file to audio, then broke it into individual mp3's.

This album is two hours and 13 minutes long.

Emmylou Harris - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 6-24-1975, Late Show

I recently posted a concert of Emmylou Harris performing at the Ebbets Field venue in Denver on June 23, 1975. This concert took place just one day later.

As I mentioned in my write up for the June 23rd concert, one of these is from an audience bootleg, and the other is from a radio broadcast. I'm not at home, so I can't tell which is which. But maybe somebody who listens to both of these can, or if you look at any text files, I might have included. Once I get that sorted out, I will update this write-up. 

Regardless, both of them sound very good. Also, there are many different songs performed in both, though they're also are some that were repeated. As for the early shows on both of these nights, I don't know about any recordings of those. One would think it was likely that the person who recorded the late show recorded the early show as well, but maybe not.

I believe this show is unreleased, just like the one from the night before.

fill album is 36 minutes long.

The Carpenters - Singles Uncovered, Volume 3: 1976-1981 (A Mike Solof Guest Post)

Here is the third and last volume of "Singles Uncovered," a Carpenters collection curated by guest poster Mike Solof.

In my write up for Volume Two, I gave my thoughts on why Mike chose to include some songs, but not other songs. For this write up, I thought I would go straight to the horse's mouth – I asked him to explain his selection. Here's what he had to say:

"Hi everybody, I hope you’re liking the series so far. As Paul explained in the last post, I started with the theory of doing all the singles, but then hated some of the singles (lol) so I didn’t include them. As for the non-singles that I might of included… Did I do that??? If so, sorry, but they were probably songs that I knew and loved, so consider them singles adjacent and think of them as bonus songs without Paul’s perplexing method of not numbering the bonus songs (lol). Looking forward to your feedback… See you next project which is a fun Jimmy Buffett one, and which also might be posted soon."

This album is one hour and two minutes long.

The cover image was chosen by Mike. I don't know the details. But they look pretty young. The original was in black and white, but I colorized it with the use of the Kolorize program.
