On the same day I'm posting this, I'm posting a BBC concert he did in 1970. Both of them were done for the "In Concert" TV show. I originally had posted that 1970 with this 1974 date, because that was how the bootleg was labelled. But musical friend Progsprog has sent me a lot of rare BBC material lately, and one thing he sent me was this 1974 show. When I got this, I realized I must have had the wrong date for the other show. It was pretty easy to figure out, because all the songs on that one were from 1970 or earlier, while this one has some songs he released in 1973 or 1974. For instance, "Sign of a Lion" was a song that only came out on a single that was released in 1974.
It seems White actually had two episodes of "In Concert" in 1974. They were taken from the same concert, and shown on TV a couple of months apart. If that's true, I'm guessing this is the first part, since it seems unlikely he would end with an obscure song like "Sign of a Lion," and this recording more fades out than comes to a clear end. If and when anyone can send the second part to me, I'll update this with that portion as well.
White had his biggest successes in the early 1970s, and then his commercial prospects declined as the decade went on. But he came back in the 1980s and 90s as a successful songwriter. That led to another BBC concert, which I plan on posting here as well.
The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent.
This album is 31 minutes long.

The cover photo is from a concert at the Crystal Palace Garden Party, in London, on September 15, 1973. The original was in black and white, but I colorized it with the help of the Kolorize program.
NOT a TV show.
ReplyDeleteTony Joe White's performance on 8 May 1974, was part of the BBC's
In Concert series. These concerts were often simulcast on both BBC Radio 1 and BBC Two
▶Please oh Please refrain from using date format 5-8-1974.
It confuses both me and my PC, no end.
Kindly use Month name, or 19740508
About the date thing, sorry, there's no way I would change the format after posting 3,500 plus albums in this format. I can't even imagine how many hours that would take to change it to something else. This is the format I've used my whole life and I see no reason to change. (It's like people who drive on the right side of the road thinking it's crazy people in some other countries drive on the left side of the road, and vice versa. We like what we're familiar with.)
