Leonard Cohen - Kungliga Tennishall, Stockholm, Sweden, 4-3-1972

A few days ago, I posted a Leonard Cohen concert from 1972. Here's another one. Like the one I posted, which took place in Tel Aviv, Israel, on April 20, 1972, I believe this one has never been easily publicly available until now.

I have to repeat the gist of some things I wrote about the Tel Aviv concert, because there are a lot of similarities here. In 2022, over a dozen Cohen concerts from a 1972 European tour were made available, ever so briefly, because there's a law in the European Union that a record company loses a copyright over a recording if it isn't offered for sale within 50 years of the year of creation. So they were offered for sale then, but so briefly and so obscurely that almost everyone missed it. Until today, as far as I can tell, these recordings aren't available on any music sharing websites. I luckily found them via a personal trade. So I want to share them with the wider world. 

Unfortunately, like I said about the Tel Aviv concert, while the sound quality of these recordings is fantastic, they're missing all banter between songs, as well as most of the applause at the ends of songs. So I looked for audience bootlegs of these same concerts to find out if there was some banter I could find there and add in to the soundboard quality versions for the copyright extension versions. Unfortunately, most of the bootlegs of those concerts were missing the banter, because people often turned their recording devices off between songs to save tape. And the few that had them had such truly awful sound quality that one could barely hear anything. 

But, other than the Tel Aviv concert, there was one that stood out as different: this Stockholm one. That's because about 40 minutes of it was broadcast on Swedish TV back in that era. It turns out there wasn't much banter in that broadcast either. Listening for banter to the badly recorded audience bootlegs, I came to the conclusion that Cohen rarely spoke between songs on this tour. Instead, he often talked after the song started, while playing his guitar. So I was able to restore those bits, because it turns out those were cut from the copyright extension versions as well. Those strictly stuck to just the singing parts of songs, because that's all they decided they needed to save for copyright purposes. As an example, there's about an extra minute of audience interaction at the start of "You Know Who I Am" that comes from the Swedish broadcast version that can't be found in the copyright extension version.

Furthermore, the copyright extension version was clearly incomplete, with the number of songs less than those of other concerts on the tour. By luck, some of these missing songs were shown on the Swedish broadcast version: "The Partisan," "Seems So Long Ago, Nancy," and "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye." I have no idea of the order of the songs. While the copyright extension versions put the songs in chronological order, the missing songs could have come at the beginning, or the end, or maybe even somewhere in the middle, if the recording equipment failed temporarily or something like that. I couldn't find a complete, accurate set list. (If anyone knows, please let me know!) So I just added the extra songs at the end.

Also, instead of the usual banter, during this tour, Cohen often expressed his feelings by creating songs on the spot. He did this a few times in this concert. I've marked those with "[Improvised Song]" in the titles. In some cases, I guessed the titles, and in other cases they were the titles given for the copyright extension release. 

However, note that "Broken Down Nightingale" (one of those improvised songs) and the banter before "Suzanne" (meaning track 22) are probably not from this exact concert. Recently, I rewatched the documentary movie about this tour, "Bird on a Wire," and those were little bits from the film taken from concerts on the tour. I don't know if they were from this concert or some other concert. But I thought they were interesting, and I didn't have a better place for them, so I added them in. (It's possible there were more missing songs that didn't make it into either source, but I guess there's no way of knowing for sure.)

The set lists from this concert tour are pretty similar to each other, because Cohen didn't have that many songs he'd written to this point in his career. (He'd released three albums.) But while the Tel Aviv concert was unusual due to conflicts with security forces and the fact that he was making a rare appearance in Israel, this was a more typical concert from the tour. So I figured it was worth posting both. 

For those die-hard fans who want all the other concerts from the tour, I don't plan to post any more of them at this blog, since they're largely very similar to each other. However, I am posting all of those at SoulseekQT at the same time I'm posting this here. They're in my "Leonard Cohen" folder, under the name "1972 Copyright Extension Collection atse." They consist of the following concerts:

01 National Stadium, Dublin, Ireland, 3-18-1972
02 Royal Albert Hall, London, Britain, 3-23-1972
03 Kungliga Tennishall, Stockholm, Sweden, 4-3-1972
04 Sportpalast, Berlin, Germany, 4-8-1972
05 Konzerthaus, Vienna, Austria, 4-10-1972
06 Victoria Hall, Geneva, Switzerland, 4-14-1972
07 Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, Netherlands, 4-15-1972
08 Ancienne Belgique, Brussels, Belgium, 4-16-1972
09 Salle Pleyel, Paris, France, 4-18-72
10 Sports Hall, Tel Aviv, Israel, 4-19-1972
11 Binyanei Ha'uma, Jerusalem, Israel, 4-20-1972

Those are not all the concerts from the tour, just the ones that happened to be professionally recorded for the intention of making an official live album (which came out in 1973 under the name "Live Songs"). All of these are "unadulterated." That means the Stockholm and Tel Aviv ones are unchanged from the copyright extension versions, without the applause and extra banter and songs I found and added in. (And note that I added extra applause at the ends of all the songs that were not part of the Swedish broadcast, since they otherwise abruptly end after just a second or two.) Like I said above, the set lists are very similar, though the order is often changed. However, there are occasional improvised songs, or rarely performed songs. Some of them are missing songs, or have only parts of songs, so watch out for that.

Speaking of rarities, note that this concert has "Chelsea Hotel No. 1," which is similar to, but different from, the much more famous "Chelsea Hotel No. 2." One was basically an early version of the other one, but Cohen decided to give them slightly different names, and only officially released "No. 2." 

Also, I don't know why there is an incomplete version of "So Long, Marianne" in this concert, with a complete version shortly thereafter. I would guess Cohen got interrupted or distracted by something to do with the police, because there's an improvised song between them called "Police." But since we don't have the banter or applause (other than applause that I've added in), it's impossible to say what happened there. 

Finally, in case you're curious, these are the songs from the Swedish broadcast bootleg:

So Long, Marianne
You Know Who I Am
The Butcher
Famous Blue Raincoat
Story of Isaac
Joan of Arc
Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye
The Partisan
Suzanne
Seems So Long Ago, Nancy

For all of those, I used the copyright extension versions for the music, since those had slightly better sound quality, but added in the applause from the Swedish broadcast, plus whatever banter and extra bits that had as well. It seems the order of those were mixed up by whoever made the broadcast, so I stuck to the copyright extension order as much as possible. 

This album is an hour and 34 minutes long.

SoulseekQT

I mentioned a couple of times recently that I was having some computer troubles in recent weeks. I finally got that cleared up, but at the price of having to reinstall Windows, which means I've had to reinstall all my computer programs. The reason I mention this to you is because it meant I reinstalled SoulseekQT too. 

I was able to get back to my old account there: albumsthatshouldexist. But I had shared folders one by one, sharing only the albums I've shared on this blog and not everything else. (That's so I don't share the many hundreds of albums I plan on posting but aren't ready yet.) To reshare everything that way, I would have had to individually select over 3000 folders. That was a pain in the ass, and then I'd have to do it all over again the next time I had a big computer problem. So I've decided to do things a different way. Instead, I've moved copies of all the albums I've posted at this blog into one folder, and I'm just sharing that folder. It's been a few days since I did that, and some people are starting to download albums, so you may find them if you search SoulseekQT. (Although I would warn that SoulseekQT has grown so big that you don't connect with everyone else on the network all the time. It's a random luck thing, and sometimes you have to wait a few days as the program rotates you to different parts of the network.) 

Anyway, I can be long-winded at times, but there's a reason I'm mentioning this. I've never seen what my SoulseekQT files look from the perspective of another person on the network, but I've had people complain that my files can be hard to understand because the names of the albums could be seen, but not the names of the musical acts. Now, for instance, all the Kinks albums will be in a folder called "Kinks" that is also shared. So hopefully that will make it easier for you if you want to download a bunch of my music via SoulseekQT.

Bob Weir - Solo Acoustic Live, Tower Theatre, Upper Darby, PA, 9-10-2012

Bob Weir, one of the two main singer-songwriters in the Grateful Dead, died about a month ago as I write this. (He died on January 10, 2026, at the age of 78.) I wanted to post some music in tribute to his musical legacy. So I posted a series of concerts for the closing of the Fillmore West venue in San Francisco that included a Grateful Dead concert. But I also wanted to post something that focused more on him. So I'm posting this, which is a solo acoustic concert he did in 2012.

In the Grateful Dead, Weir was always considered kind of second fiddle to Jerry Garcia. In fact, there's a documentary about his life showing on Netflix right now called "The Other One: The Long, Strange Trip of Bob Weir" that expresses that second fiddle role right in the title. But had Weir led a band on his own, I think he would have been quite successful, because he was a very talented singer and songwriter. His solo career began as far back as 1972 when he released his first solo album, "Ace." (It's a great album, by the way, as good as the Grateful Dead albums at the time, and so is "Garcia," the 1972 Jerry Garcia solo album.) 

But his solo career didn't become his full time career until 1995, the year Garcia died and the Grateful Dead came to an end. He performed in a variety of bands, including Kingfish, the Other Ones, Furthur, RatDog, Bobby and the Midnites, and the Wolf Bros. It was pretty unusual for him to perform in solo acoustic mode, but that's what he did here. This was part of a short solo tour, while he also did an acoustic trio tour that year.

After the Dead broke up, Weir's songwriting slowed down quite a lot. (That's not so unusual for someone who has been in the music business three or more decades already.) As a result, I think only two of the songs here are songs he wrote after 1995: "Ashes and Glass" and "Big Bad Blues." Most of the rest are original songs once performed with the Grateful Dead or covers.

As for the sound quality, I read that, during this tour, each concert was recorded and then one could buy a CD of it immediately after this concert was over. If so, that would explain the soundboard sound quality. However, I don't know if that's true, because this one gets around in bootleg trading circles some, but I haven't seen the other ones from the tour shared in the same way.

This album is two hours and nine minutes long. 

01 talk (Bob Weir)
02 The Music Never Stopped (Bob Weir)
03 Shakey Ground (Bob Weir)
04 The Music Never Stopped [Reprise] (Bob Weir)
05 New, New Minglewood Blues (Bob Weir)

The cover is taken from a poster for this exact concert. The poster was rectangular, as posters usually are, so I had to make some edits to make it fit a square space. The main thing I did was I chopped out a section in the middle that included a lot of flowers under the skull.

The Rascals - Live on TV: 1966-1970

A few weeks ago (writing this in February 2026), I posted a concert that included a set by the Rascals (originally known as the Young Rascals). A frequent commenter here, Sax and Guitar, saw that and emailed me with an album he'd made of performances the Rascals did for various TV shows in the 1960s, and he suggested that I posted it. It turns out I'd already made an album like that that I'd just never gotten around to posting. (I have hundreds if not thousands of albums like that that I need to post. Sigh!) In fact, the songs on his version were basically exactly the same as mine, since we both went looking for the same things at YouTube. Thanks to his push, I decided to post my Rascals collection sooner rather than later, so here it is.

Before I say more, here's the concert I mentioned above, that includes a set by the Rascals: 

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2026/01/various-artists-khj-third-annual.html

That concert is a real treasure, because publicly available recordings of the Rascals performing live in the 1960s are rarer than hen's teeth. Besides that, all we seem to have from the 1960s are occasional TV appearances. Some TV shows had them lip-sync to records. But Sax and Guitar and I collected all the ones that were genuinely performed live.

All the performances here are unreleased. I used MVSEP to boost the vocals on songs where the vocals were low in the mix, which was most of them. Also, most of the songs had most or all of the applause at the ends cut off. So I edited the applause to bridge the songs together. Typically, the applause at the end of one song continues until the next song starts. 

Sax and Guitar wrote a nice little write-up meant to go with this album. It includes a short history of the band during this time period. I've included that as a Word file in the download zip.

Note that Sax and Guitar already has two other albums he's helping with, with hopefully more to come, knock on wood. Thanks to him for helping to get this album finished off. 

01 Good Lovin' (Rascals)
02 Mickey's Monkey - Love Lights [Turn On Your Lovelight] (Rascals)
03 I've Been Lonely Too Long - Come On Up (Rascals)
04 Since I Fell for You (Rascals)
05 A Girl like You (Rascals)
06 Groovin' (Rascals)
07 Do You Feel It (Rascals)
08 A Beautiful Morning (Rascals)
09 Carry Me Back (Rascals)
10 In the Midnight Hour (Tom Jones & the Rascals)
11 Glory, Glory (Rascals)

Dusty Springfield - Live in Concert: 1964-1966

Dusty Springfield was one of the most popular singers in Britain in the 1960s and early 1970s. For instance, in 1966, she won both the Melody Maker and N.M.E. polls for best female singer. But despite that popularity, there are shockingly few live recordings from her, even though she toured a fair amount. One official live album, "Live at the Royal Albert Hall," has been released. But, in my opinion, that was from the worst time in her career for a live album, 1979, at the height of the disco era and at a down era for her career. True, there are lots of recordings of TV and radio broadcasts, and I've compiled those as best I could. But in terms of actual concert recordings, there's almost nothing, especially from her 1960s and early 1970s peak era.

I decided to try to change there. When it comes to unreleased concert recordings, there also is very, very little. But I did find a few things from 1964 to 1966. Putting them together, it's just enough for a relatively short live album.

The first section of this concert comes from a concert in Melbourne, Australia, in 1964. She was part of a package tour of Australia with Johnny O'Keefe, Gene Pitney, Gerry and the Pacemakers, and Brian Poole and the Tremeloes. An hour long concert was filmed for Australian TV. Decades later, this has been released on DVD only, under the title "The Liverpool Sound." I was able to find most of that, but not quite all. I'm missing the first song, "I Only Want to Be with You." So, for that, I used a live performance of that song she did for the Ed Sullivan Show. This Australian concert makes up the first 13 minutes of this album, tracks one through eight. The last song, "When the Saints Go Marching In," was the finale, where each of the lead singers got to sing a verse.

The other two sections here come from annual N.M.E. concerts. "N.M.E." stands for "New Musical Express," one of the main music-centric publications in Britain in that era. They had a yearly poll winners concert that brought together the biggest names in music at the time. I've already posted the full 1965 concert, which you can get here:

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2022/01/various-artists-nme-poll-winners.html

I have all of what's available of the 1964 and 1966 concerts, and I'd like to post those soon. Springfield wasn't featured in the 1964 one. But I've included her 1965 and 1966 performances here. Tracks nine through 13 are from the 1965 concert, and tracks 14 to 18 are from the 1966 concert. All of these N.M.E. concerts remain unreleased. Springfield's short 1965 set is repeated on the N.M.E. concert I linked to above, but I think there's value in putting all her concert recordings from the era together here.

Luckily, there are no repeats of songs from these three sources. That's probably because they were about a year apart each, so she had different hits to promote each year. When it comes to sound quality, this isn't amazing, but it's about as good as you could expect for the era. Like the Australian concert, the N.M.E. concerts were broadcast on T.V., so that's why we have recordings that survive.

This album is 32 minutes long.

Leonard Cohen - Sports Hall, Tel Aviv, Israel, 4-19-1972

Here's a really interesting concert that it a "must have" for any Leonard Cohen fan. It's a professionally recorded yet unreleased concert from very early in his career. It also was an extremely unusual and memorable concert, for reasons I'll explain below.

Before I describe the events of this concert, let me explain this recording. In 1972, Cohen did a concert tour of Europe. It was only his second concert tour, after he did one in 1970. Most of the shows were professionally recorded at the time, in order to create a live album. That album, "Live Songs," was released in 1973. In 2022, the all recorded concerts were released, but only in a "blink and you miss it" kind of way. In many European countries, there's a law that if a recording isn't released within 50 years of it being created, the copyright rights are lost. So these concerts probably released for an hour or less in the middle of the night on some obscure platform, as was the case with other similar releases. These releases are so rare that very, very few people have them to this day. I was lucky that I was eventually able to trade for them.

There's one annoying problem with these concerts, however. All that the record company had to post to keep the copyrights was the music, and they did the bare minimum. So the audience quickly fades out a second or two after the songs stop, and there's no banter between songs whatsoever. Luckily, though, this concert is kind of an exception, for two reasons. One is that a soundboard bootleg of about 43 minutes of this concert has existed for many years, and that includes all the applause and banter. 

The other reason is that a documentary movie was made of Cohen's 1972 tour, called "Bird on a Wire." That movie featured a lot of footage from this concert, as well as one he performed in Jerusalem a day later. That's because with Cohen being Jewish, having him perform concerts in Israel was a big deal for the public and for him personally. So I was able to use audio from the movie to fill in more of the banter. I still am missing the banter before many songs, but we have to make do with what we've got.

Because this was a pivotal concert in Cohen's music career, we luckily have a good account of it in a biography of him, "I'm Your Man: The Life of Leonard Cohen," written by Sylvie Simmons. I'm going to quote it extensively here:

"He was looking forward to playing Israel. He was terrified of playing Israel. ... The first show, at the Yad Eliyahu Arena, was on the same day that Leonard and the band flew into Tel Aviv. Airport security was slow and grim, guns everywhere, but they arrived at the venue in good time. When they came out onstage though, the floor was completely empty. The audience was packed into the stands around the edges, like they were there to see an invisible basketball game. Security had been told to keep everyone off the floor, which had been newly varnished. When Leonard, disturbed by the distance between them, invited the audience to come down, they were set upon by armed guards in orange boiler suits. 'They freaked out and started clubbing everybody, beating kids up,' [tour manager Bill] Donovan remembers. 'Leonard jumped off the stage into the crowd and a guy ran onstage and grabbed [band member] Ron's guitar. I knocked the guy offstage and then somebody hit me from behind and knocked me out. It ended up as sort of a riot.'" [Band member] Peter Marshall says, 'I was hiding behind my string bass and there was some guy raising a chair, like it was a movie, and he's going to hit me in the face, but somebody grabbed the chair from behind.

"The band reconvened backstage. [Backing vocalist] Jennifer Warnes said she was scared. Leonard wondered aloud, 'Maybe I pushed too hard.' Then he led everyone back onstage. 'I know you're trying to do your job, but you don't have to do it with your fists,' he told the guards, then dedicated a song to them. He urged the audience to sit down and enjoy the concert. 'Eventually,' says Marshall, 'he got everybody to calm down, and he completed that show.' As soon as it was done, they dashed out of the hall and into the tour bus."

Only two shows in Israel were planned, to end the tour. The second and last one, in Jerusalem the next night, was even stranger. At first, the concert started okay. According to the biography quoted above, "The songs sounded beautiful as he sang, and the band seemed to be wired into his nervous system. But Leonard felt that it was not good enough, that we was letting down this precious audience and these precious songs. He tried to explain this to them, but his explanation kept getting more and more complex.'" 

Eventually, he gave up, and told the audience, "We're going to leave the stage now and try to profoundly mediate in the dressing room to try to get ourselves back into shape and if we can manage. We'll be back." But backstage, Cohen was having an emotional meltdown. He felt he couldn't go back on stage. However, the audience refused to leave, and sang songs to encourage him to come back. Apparently, Cohen took some L.S.D., and did some rituals to help calm down, such as shaving his face, and eventually managed to return to the stage and finish the concert.

You don't just have to read about this, because both concerts are shown quite extensively in the documentary movie I mentioned above, "Bird on a Wire." When it was finished in 1974, Cohen didn't like it, and the BBC, which had paid for it, didn't like it either. So it got only a very limited viewing in a few places, and then was pretty much forgotten. However, the footage was rediscovered decades later, and painstakingly restored. The movie was rereleased in 2012, and shown it some theaters. You can now watch it on DVD. It shows the battles with security guards in the Tel Aviv concert, the troubles in the Jerusalem concert, and much more. Here's a Wikipedia entry about it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Cohen:_Bird_on_a_Wire 

A few years ago, I posted a Cohen album here I called "Live 1972." It compiled songs from different concerts during the 1972 tour, the relatively few that were available with soundboard level quality. More than half of it was that 43 minute long section from this concert. I have removed that link now, in favor of this album. 

In 2024, an album was released called "The Bird on the Wire Concerts." It contains songs from the 1972 tour, apparently from the concerts in Stockholm, Paris, Tel Aviv, and London. But it's very rare and I haven't been able to find a copy. (It seems to only be available as part of a box set with the DVD of the movie.) I also don't know which songs on it are from which venue. But it contains "We Shall Not Be Moved," which I would guess is from this concert. If anyone has it and knows more about it, please let us know. I'd be especially curious to find out if it contains any more banter that I don't have here.

This album is an hour and 30 minutes long.

Robyn Hitchcock - Three Kings, Clerkenwell, London, Britain, 11-1-2009 (Abbey Road)

From 2003 to 2011, Robyn Hitchcock held yearly benefit concerts at a small venue in London called the Three Kings, with the funds going to various causes opposing the U.S. war in Iraq. Each year, he performed one of his favorite albums by the musical acts that most influenced him. In 2009, he tackled "Abbey Road" by the Beatles. Here it is.

Hitchcock is a massive Beatles fan. I've already posted his versions of "Revolver," "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," and "The White Album," done in this series of benefit concerts. I waited on posting this one due to sound quality concerns. Namely, there was a fair amount of echo on the recording, which I find annoying. But, thanks to improving audio editing technology, I could finally fix that problem, so I did. First, I used the MVSEP program to split the vocals from the instruments. Then I used that program's "denoise" function on the vocals. Then I put the vocals and instruments back together again. I think it sounds much better now.

Hitchcock was backed by a full band, as he typically was in this series of concerts. He has a singing voice with lots of character, but he doesn't have an exceptionally high range. So, for a few of the songs that were more difficult to sing, he had other band members take the lead vocals. 

After playing the album straight though, in the correct album order, he played four more songs done by the Beatles in 1969. 

This music here is unreleased.

With this post, I believe I have posted all of the known recordings from these Three Kings benefit shows. However, there have been other occasions when Hitchcock has performed entire albums by other musical acts. So I'll keep working on posting those.

This album is an hour and 17 minutes long.

The Beach Boys - Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles, CA, 4-20-1973

Here's a really nice Beach Boys concert from 1973. 

Just a few days ago (as I write this in early February 2026), I found out there's been a leak of about 500 Beach Boys songs, with the bootleg called "Boots a Million." The vast majority of those are alternate versions of songs. I'm having a hard time separating the wheat from the chaff with that release, 'cos there's so much of it (and frankly a lot of it isn't that interesting). If anyone here is a big Beach Boys fan and can give some guidance about that release, please let me know. But luckily, while looking for it, I happened to stumble across this concert.

I believe this actually was officially released on-line for a microsecond in late 2023, as one of the band's many copyright extension releases. That's where musical acts release music within 50 years of origin or else they lose the copyright on that music in some European countries. But I totally missed this in 2023, and just noticed it now. 

No doubt, the band recorded this concert with soundboard quality while collecting material for their live album "The Beach Boys in Concert," released in late 1973. We know this because two songs on that album, "Sail On, Sailor," and "Sloop John B," come from this exact concert. Everything else here is unreleased, unless you count that copyright release. I don't, because it literally would only have been for sale for several hours at most on one day late in 2023.

In my opinion, when it comes to concerts, I think the band peaked around 1973. That's because they were still very creative at that time, regularly releasing a new studio album each year, and playing their new songs in concert. But after 1973, the amount of new material went down, as well as the quality, and they gradually turned into an "oldies" act. This still has quality songs they would soon drop from their set lists, like "Funky Pretty," "California Saga: California," "Marcella," and "Wild Honey."

While the sound quality is excellent overall, there were a couple of issues I dealt with. One was that there was an unusual amount of tuning between songs. (At one point in the banter between songs, one of the band members apologized for all the tuning, saying they had just restrung their guitars before the concert began.) I did a lot of cutting out of the tuning, while keeping all of the actual banter between songs. For instance, there was nearly two minutes of tuning before the first song even began, and I cut that down to less than half a minute. Trust me, you're not missing anything, and there still is a fair amount of tuning that I couldn't cut out due to talking happening over it.

The other thing is that the vocals were rather low in the mix. I used the UVR5 program to fix this for nearly all the songs. "Do It Again" needed extra work, because most of the vocals were completely inaudible for the first verse, so I didn't have enough to simply increase the volume. Instead, I took the vocals from another concert in 1972, and patched those in for a couple of lines there. That's why that song is the only one with "[Edit]" in its title. 

This concert is surprisingly hard to find. For instance, I didn't see it at any of the bootleg sharing websites I frequent. That's probably due to its weird status of being technically legally released, though just barely. Hopefully this post will help it get more attention.  

This album is an hour and 16 minutes long.

Beck - BBC Sessions, Volume 6: The Biggest Weekend, Titanic Slipways, Belfast, Britain, 5-25-2018

Here's another album I thought I'd posted but actually hadn't. It's the sixth and most recent BBC album I have of Beck, at least so far. This one is a concert.

Maybe the reason I didn't post this is because it's from one of my least favorite phases of Beck's music career. In 2017, he released the album "Colors." If you look at the crowd sourced ratings at rateyourmusic.com, you can see it's one of his lowest rated albums. That said, I think the songs come across better in a live format. They seemed overproduced to me, so they lost most of that when played live. 

Also, the songs were upbeat and danceable, and this whole concert is like that. It includes a fun medley of classic songs near the end.

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent. 

This album is 57 minutes long.

Joan Armatrading - BBC Sessions, Volume 6: 2011-2021

I was going through my music collection recently, and I noticed some albums in there that I thought I'd posted at my blog, yet I never had. Here's one. I previously posted five BBC albums by singer-songwriter Joan Armatrading. The previous four were concerts, but this one is a collection of studio sessions.

The first song is from a brief revival of the Old Grey Whistle Test BBC TV show in 2011. It has been released on an album, called "The Old Grey Whistle Test: Live." Everything else here is unreleased. The second song is from the BBC Folk Awards in 2016. Tracks three through five are from a 2016 radio session. Tracks six and seven are from another 2016 radio session. Finally, tracks eight and nine are from a 2021 radio session.

Most of the songs are in solo acoustic format, but not all. By the way, if anyone knows of additional BBC sessions by her that I missed, please let me know. It's easy to miss some of these.

This album is 36 minutes long.

Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes with Junior Wells - PBS Soundstage, WTTW Studios, Chicago, IL, 10-12-1979

Here's another album from the "PBS Soundstage" TV show. This one stars Southside Johnny and the Ashbury Jukes. It also features blues great Junior Wells as a guest star. Wells sang and played his harmonica on two songs in the middle of the show, plus another one near the end.

I wanted to use the intro to the band's Wikipedia entry, but it's very badly written. It defines the band almost entirely in terms of their connections to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. And while it's true they had a lot of links to that band, they have been a fine band in their own right as well.

Here's the Wikipedia entry anyway: 

Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes - Wikipedia 

The popularity of the band peaked in the late 1970s, in my opinion. So this is a good time for this concert. At the time, I believe Little Steven Van Zandt was still one of the band's two main leaders and songwriters, along with Southside Johnny. Van Zandt left the band in 1980, probably due to his commitments to being a member of the E Street Band. 

Junior Wells is very famous in the blues world. He's especially known for his collaboration with Buddy Guy over several decades, with Wells playing harmonica and Guy playing lead guitar.

Here's his Wikipedia entry:

Various Artists - The Thrill Is Gone - A Tribute to B.B. King, Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY, 2-16-2020

The great blues legend B.B. King died in 2015, at the age of 89. I'm not sure what took so long, but five years later, there was this tribute concert celebrating his music. This is unusually long compared to most tribute concerts, at nearly four hours long. The vast majority of it was professionally recorded for a webcast, so the sound quality is mostly excellent. 

Note that I said "the vast majority" of this was professionally recorded, not all. That's because it seems a couple of performers didn't allow their songs to be included in the webcast. For those, I tried to find the songs elsewhere. I found a couple of the missing songs on YouTube, but the sound quality on those isn't as good as the rest. I couldn't find "You Shook Me" performed by Ann Wilson and Robert Randolph, as well as "Night Life" and "Take It Home" by Jamey Johnston. If anyone has those, please let me know and I'll add them in.

There was an impressive list of musicians who performed for this concert, including Buddy Guy, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, John Scofield, Ann Wilson (of Heart), David Hidalgo (of Los Lobos), Ivan Neville (of the Neville Brothers), Jimmie Vaughan (of the Fabulous Thunderbirds), Little Steven, Robert Cray, Robert Randolph, Shemekia Copeland, William Bell, and more.

Actually, this concert was performed two nights in a row, but only one night was broadcast. I don't know how different the other night might have been. 

The music here remains unreleased. The sound quality is excellent, except for the few I took from other sources. Most of those are near the end, for instance "When Love Comes to Town" by Ann Wilson.

This album is three hours and 47 minutes long.

Joan Baez with Hoyt Axton - The Midnight Special, NBC Studios, Burbank, CA, 5-30-1975

Here's another episode of that excellent TV show, "Midnight Special." I previously posted a 1973 episode hosted by Joan Baez. She was back to host it again in this 1975 episode. I also included Hoyt Axton as a guest, since they sang a song together.

One couldn't be a host of this show unless one had a certain amount of commercial success. Earlier in 1975, Baez released "Diamonds and Rust," a song she wrote herself, as a single. It was a Top Forty hit in the U.S., and helped the album it came from, also called "Diamonds and Rust," go Gold. (That means sales of half a million in the U.S.)

Hoyt Axton didn't have big success as a performer (although he did have a couple of hits on the country charts in the 1970s). However, he had a lot more success as a songwriter. In fact, I've created a "Covered" album for him, which you can find here:

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2025/12/covered-hoyt-axton-1963-1977.html

Baez and Axton sang a duet on the song "Lion in the Winter." It was a song written by Axton. He did a duet version with Linda Ronstadt that came out in 1975 and was a minor country hit. Baez essentially sang Ronstadt's part. Axton also sang two songs on his own.

Baez had another musical collaboration in this episode. Hampton Hawes was a well known jazz pianist since the late 1940s. On Baez's "Diamonds and Rust" album, she wrote a jazzy song called "Children and All that Jazz," which featured a prominent piano part by Hawes. So the two of them performed it on this show, with Baez singing and Hawes playing the piano. Hawes died not long after that, in 1977. Hawes performed two other songs on his own in this episode, but I chose not to include them.

In case you're curious, the only other performer in this episode was Kool and the Gang. They played three songs.

Oftentimes, when I put these Midnight Special albums together, I bring in other songs from other episodes. But in this case, everything here is from this one episode. Baez would appear some more on the show in 1976 and 1977. She wasn't a host again, but she performed on enough songs that I'll probably be able to put together another album for her when those episodes are released on YouTube. 

This album is 40 minutes long. 

The music here is unreleased, and the sound quality is excellent.

Chris Rea - BBC Sessions, Volume 9: Saturday Programme, Maida Vale Studios, London, Britain, 10-13-2006

Here's another album in a mini-flood of Chris Rea BBC albums. Like all the previous ones, this is a concert.

In 2005, Rea released his 25th studio album, "Blue Guitars." This was no ordinary studio album. In fact, I would bet it's the longest studio album by a major musical act. It consisted of ten albums containing 137 songs in total, all of them originals. That added up to over ten hours of music! This mega-album explored virtually all genres of blues music, with each of the ten albums having a different theme.

Since Rea didn't release a new album in 2006, half of the songs in this concert come from his "Blue Guitars" album - specifically, tracks 1, 2, 4, and 6. The rest are hits from earlier in his career.

This is the last BBC concert I could find by Rea. But I did find some BBC studio sessions after 2006, enough for an album. (Which is a bit strange, since I didn't find studio sessions from before 2006, but so it goes.) So that will be the final BBC album I plan to post from him.

This album is 44 minutes long.

Good Month

Just a quick note. Today, I noticed that I made 92 posts in the month of January, 2026. That was the most prolific month since I've started this blog, by a fair margin. (A few were announcements, but still.) Let's hope there are more months like that. Who knows, someday I may even post 100 albums in a month, knock on wood.

Vince Gill - Royal Albert Hall, London, Britain, 12-5-1994

Here's a concert by country star Vince Gill. 

I have to admit I'm not familiar with Gill's music, and hearing this didn't do much for me. However, I recently got some music from musical friend Progsprog, and I saw he had this concert. I looked it up, and while it was traded some years ago, it seems to no longer be publicly available. So I figure it's kind of up to me to put this back into circulation.

This is a fine concert, if you're into Gill's music. Progsprog has it listed as a BBC concert, which is what got my attention at first. However, after doing some digging, I found evidence it was a radio broadcast, but I couldn't confirm specifically if it was a BBC one, so I decided to err on the side of caution and not mention the BBC part. If anyone can help confirm or refute that, I'd appreciate it. I can always change the title and cover as more information comes in. 

Since I don't know much about Gill, here's some excerpts from his Wikipedia entry:

Vincent Grant Gill (born April 12, 1957) is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. ... Gill's commercial peak came in the first half of the 1990s, starting with his breakthrough album When I Call Your Name. He has made 65 entries on the Billboard country music charts, including four solo number one hits: "I Still Believe in You", "Don't Let Our Love Start Slippin' Away", "One More Last Chance", and "Tryin' to Get Over You", all between 1992 and 1994. ... All of Gill's albums released in the 1990s were certified platinum or higher, with "I Still Believe in You" (1992) his highest, at quintuple-platinum. Gill has won 22 Grammy Awards, the most among solo male country music artists. ... Gill is known for his songwriting, his tenor singing voice, and his lead guitar work, with many critics noting his proficiency in both emotional ballads and up tempo material. He plays guitar, mandolin, banjo, and Dobro.

And here's the link to the full entry:

Vince Gill - Wikipedia 

I would add to that that he was a member of the Pure Prairie League in the 1970s, and has been a member of the Eagles since 2017. He also is married to Christian singer Amy Grant.

Thanks again to Progsprog for sharing this.

Here's the second and final volume celebrating the songwriting of Shel Silverstein for the "Covered" series.

As with all these Covered albums, the songs are in loose chronological order, usually by year. Silverstein was active writing lots of new songs in the 1970s, and a lot of cover versions resulted. Some of his songs were hits, especially on the country charts. But, typically, his songs were more memorable and interesting than the usual hit material. Not many songwriters could write children's songs, funny songs, and even erotic songs. (Hopefully not all in the same song though!)

Silverstein gradually slowed his songwriting, as people do. He only released one album of new songs after 1985. So a lot of the later songs here were actually originally written earlier, sometimes much earlier. He died of a heart attack in 1999, at the age of 68.

It just occurred to me that I don't think I included a link to his Wikipedia page in the Volume 1 write-up, so here it is:

Shel Silverstein - Wikipedia 

To be honest, I know the well known songs written by Silverstein, but not all the lesser known ones. But he's the type of songwriter who wrote quirky gems. So if any of you know of some excellent songs he wrote that I left out, and especially covers of them, please let me know and I'll consider adding them in. 

This album is 46 minutes long.

I don't know when or where the cover photo was taken. Clearly though, he's older than in the Volume 1 photo, judging from the grey in his beard. The original photo was a black and white one, showing him in a crouching pose in front of some trees. I stripped out the background. Then I used the Kolorize program to colorize the picture.

Covered: Shel Silverstein - Volume 1: 1963-1972

Here's the next songwriter in my Covered series: Shel Silverstein. To say Silverstein was a colorful character is putting it mildly. Among his many talents was songwriting. I've found enough good covers of his songs for two volumes. Here's the first one.

Silverstein was born in Chicago in 1930, and raised there. He went to college, then spent a few years in the U.S. army. After that, he started to get known for his cartoons published in magazines. He especially had many of his cartoons published in Playboy Magazine, from the 1950s into the 1970s. He developed another creative career as the author of children's books. He eventually sold 20 million books. His most acclaimed books include "The Giving Tree," "Where the Sidewalk Ends," and "A Light in the Attic." He also had success writing for plays, movies, and TV shows.

So he was a creative Renaissance Man. But out focus here is on his songwriting. He was a music performer too, and released many albums, with the first one coming out in 1959. But he had a gruff voice with limited range. Also, it seems he very rarely performed in public, probably because he had so many other creative projects going on to want to go on long tours. So he was much more successful having others cover his songs.

His songwriting career started fairly slowly. He only had a few successes for most of the 1960s. But that changed drastically in 1969, when Johnny Cash had a huge hit with "A Boy Called Sue." That was such an unusual song, with lots of comedy, that many other musical acts went looking for other songs he'd written. It turns out his biggest fans were the band Dr. Hook. Their debut album "Doctor Hook," released in 1972, consisted entirely of songs written by Silverstein. And their second album, "Sloppy Seconds," released later in 1972, also consisted entirely of his songs! Those albums gave Dr. Hook their first two big hits, "Sylvia's Mother" and "The Cover of the Rolling Stone."

That takes us to the end of 1972. I'll write more about him in the second and last volume.

This album is 46 minutes long.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Minneapolis (Live Acoustic Version)

Here's a song that was actually created earlier today, January 30, 2026. I don't think I've ever posted anything this fast at this blog before. Just two days earlier, Bruce Springsteen released a new song called "Streets of Minneapolis," which he had written only a couple of days before that. That released version was performed with a full band. But today, he was in Minneapolis, and he was a guest at a Tom Morello concert held at a small club. While there, he performed two songs, and one of them was "Streets of Minneapolis," done in solo acoustic mode. I thought this version is different enough, and interesting enough, to merit being posted here.

The recording of this song was just done by someone on their cell phone, so there were some sound quality issues. Another reason I'm posting this is because I figured I could make this version more listenable with some audio editing improvements. I used the MVSEP program to reduce the crowd noise during the song. I kept in some roars of the crowd where they were warranted, but I got rid of a lot of ambient noise, as well as random loud screams and woo-hoos. I also used the Adobe vocal enhancer program to add some clarity to Springsteen's comments before the song began.

In case you haven't figured it out from the song title, or from hearing about it already, the song is about the current crisis with I.C.E. misbehaving in Minneapolis. While I'm a political progressive, I usually try to avoid talking about politics on this music blog. But I have to say I'm glad that Springsteen has written a song to express what a majority of people in the U.S. are feeling right now: that I.C.E. is going too far, and they're harassing, hurting, and sometimes even killing people they don't like instead of properly doing their jobs. Democracy is in danger of being replaced by a de facto dictatorship. I hope other musicians follow Springsteen's example and lend their talents to help push back against this power grab.  

Springsteen's performance of this song was newsworthy enough to result in some articles. Here one, from the Daily Beast: 

Bruce Springsteen Kicks Trump ‘In the Teeth’ at Rage-Fueled Show

And here's all of Springsteen's participation in the concert: 

Bruce Springsteen at First Avenue 1/30/26  

After playing his new song, he was joined by a full band, including Tom Morello, and they performed "The Ghost of Tom Joad." Morello played some blistering lead guitar on that one. Then the concert ended with John Lennon's "Power to the People," though really it was just the chorus repeated a few times along with some shouting to get the crowd worked up.

Normally, I post album covers. But this isn't an album. Besides, I'm having problems running Photoshop on my computer in the past few days. So if anyone wants a cover for this, it will have to wait. 

Oh, one final note. The "Brucebase" Bruce Springsteen Wiki has a lot of good links and information relating to this performance, including a bunch of photos. You can find that here:

Nicki Bluhm & the Gramblers - The Van Sessions, Part 3 (2013-2017)

Way back in 2019, I posted two albums I made of the band Nicki Bluhm and Gramblers performing cover songs. They got some media attention for a few years through the gimmick of recording cover songs while the played inside a van driving down the road. For reasons I'll explain, I've gone back and made a third album of their van sessions. I also completely overhauled and added to the two albums I'd made already.

The one problem with these songs recorded in a van was that they were... genuinely recorded in a van! That meant a lot of ambient noise, such as the sound of gear shifts and nearby traffic. When I posted some songs back in 2019, I tried to clean that up as best I could, but there wasn't much I could do, given the tools available at the time. But recently I discovered a relatively new tool for the MVSEP program called "denoise." It does a fantastic job of reducing hiss and other noise without damaging the music. One of the first thoughts I had when I started that was that I could finally get rid of the hiss on the two albums I'd made by this band. But then it occurred to me I could probably fix more songs they did that had even more hiss. There were some I had discarded because the hiss problem was too much.

So I went back to their old videos posted on YouTube and downloaded the songs I had previously skipped. To my delight, when I tried using the denoise function on them, all that hiss disappeared, even on the extreme cases! I swear, what audio editing technology can do these days is like magic. I found enough material for a third album, as well as drastically improving the sound quality for the songs I'd posted already.

Note however that I just redid the other two albums at the same time I'm posting this, and the new songs are scattered over all three albums. Eight out of 14 songs on this album are new.  But also, six out of 16 songs on Volume 1 are new, and four out of 15 songs on Volume 2 are new. So if you like this, you really should redownload the other two volumes as well. Between the new songs and the de-hissed old songs those albums are drastically improved. Here are the links:

Volume 1:

Volume 2:

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2019/04/nicki-bluhm-gramblers-van-sessions-part_16.html 

Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers were in existence from about 2010 to 2018. Nicki Bluhm has continued with a successful solo career, but she hasn't done anything like the van sessions. So this focuses just on the Gramblers time period. Even with the Gramblers, the actually van sessions started strong in 2011 and 2013, and then slowly trailed off. On this album, tracks 2, 4, 5, 10, 12, and 13 were actually recorded inside their van. The rest are from various sources. Tracks 1, 11, and 14 are from concerts. (I removed the applause from those.) The others are from webcasts and radio sessions and things of that nature, without an audience. Check out the mp3 tags for the exact details.

This album is 54 minutes long.

Here's a list of the original musical acts for each song: 

01 Somebody to Love - Jefferson Airplane
02 Lido Shuffle - Boz Scaggs
03 In the Mountains - Sarah Siskind
04 Dire Wolf - Grateful Dead
05 I Wanna Dance with Somebody - Whitney Houston
06 One Toke Over the Line - Brewer & Shipley
07 I Can Get Off on You - Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson
08 Blue Christmas - Elvis Presley
09 Bird Song - Grateful Dead
10 Mr. Saturday Night - Nicki Bluhm & the Gramblers
11 Statesboro Blues - Blind Willie McTell
12 Picture Book - Kinks
13 That's All - Genesis
14 Piece of My Heart - Janis Joplin

And here's the usual song list: 

01 Somebody to Love (Nicki Bluhm & the Gramblers)
02 Lido Shuffle (Nicki Bluhm & the Gramblers)
03 In the Mountains (Nicki Bluhm & the Gramblers)
04 Dire Wolf (Nicki Bluhm & the Gramblers)

Various Artists - Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, Waldorf Astoria, New York City, 1-20-1988

Yesterday (January 28, 2026), Bruce Springsteen dropped a new song about the current problems with ICE in Minneapolis, called "Streets of Minneapolis." It's good to see a protest song that addresses current issues, since there haven't been many of those in recent years. (He wrote, recorded, and released it in four days!) Here's a link, if you haven't heard it already:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKSoxG1K7w 

Anyway, I wanted to post something from Springsteen after hearing that inspiring song. However, some recent computer problems I've been having have flared up again, which means I currently can't use Photoshop, which in turn means I can't make new album covers until that's fixed. So I looked around to see if I had some Springsteen-related album ready to go, cover and all. Luckily, I did. (I have soooo many albums I could post tomorrow, if only I had the time to finish them off. Sigh!) This one doesn't have a ton of Springsteen content, but it's a really interesting (thought short) concert. So, in a way, my current computer issues have an upside in that they're getting me to finally post this.

Now, finally, to the music. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame started in the early 1980s. In 1986, they had their first induction ceremony, complete with a short concert featuring some of the inductees and other famous musicians. This has become a yearly tradition. Some concerts have been a lot more memorable than others. In my opinion, the ones from 1988 and 1989 were the most interesting, with the biggest star power. I haven't collected the others (though I very may well do so with some of them in the future), but I've made albums of those two. This is the 1988 one.

1988 was a really big year for the Hall of Fame, because their rule is that artists are only eligible for induction 25 years after their first record (be it a single or album). And when they were making their decisions in 1987 for this ceremony, that meant they were looking at the artists who put out their first records in 1962. It just so happens that was the first year of recordings for the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and the Beach Boys! Those are three of the biggest and most influential musical acts of all time. The Drifters and the Supremes were inducted that year as well, plus some non-performers, like Berry Gordy.

The induction ceremony had a lot of intrigue and drama in it. The Beatles are arguably the biggest (and best, IMHO!) musical act ever, so they were the main focus here, even overshadowing Dylan and the other very big names. Since John Lennon was assassinated in 1980, he was represented by his wife Yoko Ono, and his sons Julian Lennon and Sean Lennon, and each of them gave short speeches. Ex-Beatles George Harrison and Ringo Starr were there, and also gave speeches. 

However, the big no-show was Paul McCartney. He was in the middle of a lawsuit still connected to the break-up of the band back in 1970, so he felt he couldn't attend due to that. He put out a statement: "I was keen to go to and pick up my award, but after 20 years the Beatles still have some business differences which I had hoped would have been settled by now. Unfortunately, they haven't been [settled], so I would feel like a complete hypocrite waving and smiling with [Harrison and Starr] at a fake reunion." 

It turns out the lawsuit, which involved the division of profits from record sales, was settled a year later. So that was unfortunate timing as far as this concert goes. But at least that opened the door to the "Anthology" collaboration between the ex-Beatles a few years later.

Normally, when I post albums like this, I skip long speeches and focus on the music. But I'm making an exception here. I didn't include all the induction speeches, but I thought the ones relating to the induction of the Beatles and Dylan were important enough to include. They're all together at the beginning of this album, and they are about 19 minutes long in total. If you don't want to hear them, or just hear them once or twice, there's still about 40 minutes of music after that.

A big element of the drama involved Mike Love, a member of the Beach Boys. Love is one of the most notorious assholes in rock and roll, something I've discussed in other posts. But he really outdid himself this time. He appeared to be drunk, and used his induction speech to insult various famous musicians in the audience. This led to a funny quip from Dylan during his acceptance speech: when he listed people he wanted to thank, he thanked Love for not mentioning him in his speech!

Anyway, there are lots of interesting stories about what happened during this event. But instead of trying to summarize them all here, I'll just point out to an article from Rolling Stone Magazine that does a good job:

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 

I've also posted a text file in the download zip that has the text to that article.

Regarding the music here, everything was professionally recorded, so the sound quality is excellent. However, I found the lead vocals were rather low in most of the songs, so I boosted that up with the help of the MVSEP program. Also, there was a problem in the performance of "Stop in the Name of Love." Mary Wilson of the Supremes was asked to sing the song (since Diana Ross was another prominent no show). But it was clear for this songs, as well as all the other songs, that there hadn't been any practice beforehand, so everyone was just winging it. For the first chorus at the start of the song, Wilson sang the song in one key, while the band (or at least most of it) played in another key. That sounds pretty painful to my ears. So I erased that, and patched in a chorus from later in the song. That's why that one song has "[Edit]" in its title.

Oh, also, during all the talking between songs, where band leader Paul Shaffer was trying to direct things, one or more people on stage kept playing guitar so loudly that it nearly drowned out what anyone was saying. So for most of those tracks, I used MVSEP to lower the volume of the guitar enough to make the talking more audible.  

The songs "I Saw Her Standing There" and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" were officially released on the compilation album "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Volume 1: 1986-1991." Everything else here remains unreleased.

By the way, when it comes to the song list below, I only listed the name of the main lead singers. For all the songs, there was one of the most amazing gatherings of musical talent ever seen on one stage together. But it's next to impossible to figure out who was on stage doing what, other than the lead vocals. So that's why I kept the credits in the titles relatively simple. 

However, just as one example, it was Jeff Beck who started playing the "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" riff that led to that song being played, right when it seemed everyone was leaving the stage. Some of the others who were on stage at least part of the time but don't get mentioned in the song titles include: Neil Young, Paul Simon, Johnny Moore, Joe Blunt, Clyde Brown, Tom Fogerty, Les Paul, Arlo Guthrie, Yoko Ono, Ringo Starr, Little Richard, Peter Wolf,  Dave Edmunds, Jeff Lynne, Julian Lennon, Sean Lennon, Little Steven, and Clarence Clemons.  

This album is an hour and six minutes long.

Joan Baez - Philadelphia Folk Festival, Old Pool Farm, Schwenksville, PA, 8-25-1968

Here's the sixth and last album I'm posting from the 1968 Philadelphia Folk Festival. I'd like to post more, but this is everything that I've found. This is a set by Joan Baez.

In 1968, Baez hadn't really had any big hits yet. But she was one of the biggest names in folk music, and probably the biggest star of this festival. On two songs, she was joined on stage by the Charles River Valley Boys. Their most recent album at the time of this performance was "Beatle Country," and consisted of bluegrass versions of Beatles songs. That explains why one of the two songs they did with her was a Beatles song. Otherwise, Baez was in solo acoustic mode, as one can see from the cover image.

I'm pretty sure this is only part of her performance. The last song faded out, suggesting there was more. Plus, it seems uncharacteristic for her to end with a cover of "I've Just Seen a Face" by the Beatles, a song she never even put on record. And on the handbill for the show, she was the headliner act for the final day. She was allotted an hour of music in the schedule, a lot more that what's here. But this is what we have. If more of her set ever emerges, I'll be sure to add it in.

And speaking of lost music I'd like to add in, I definitely would like to post more albums of music from this festival, if that music can be found. According to a handbill from the festival I found at the jonimitchell.com website, there were over 30 musical acts who performed at the festival. Most of those were little known at the time, and even less well known now, so I don't think they would be interesting to many people. But there are some others I wound like to find, such as sets by Janis Ian, Dave Van Ronk, Odetta, Son House, Oscar Brand, and Jerry Jeff Walker. If anyone has any other music from the festival, please let me know so I can post that too.

This album is 36 minutes long. Like the rest of the music from this festival, the sound quality is excellent but it remains unreleased.
