Dan Hicks - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 9-1973, Late Show

I just posted Dan Hicks performing the early show on this date as part of the Ebbets Field radio broadcasts. Here's the late show. 

Unfortunately, it seems we only have part of the late show. This one is 23 minutes shorter than the early show, and it doesn't end with anything sounding like an encore. But it's better to have some of the show than none at all.

Luckily, there is only a moderate amount of overlap between the early and late shows. Just three songs were played in both (at least in the parts we have recordings for): "Who Are You," "I'll Tell You Why that Is," and "Out on the Western Plain."

The music is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent. I had to do a lot of volume adjustment on the version I found, especially boosting the volume of the banter between songs. But that was the only tinkering necessary.

This album is 34 minutes long.

The cover image was taken on May 8, 1973, for the "In Concert" ABC TV show. That's the same source for the cover image used for the early show. I wanted to have similar photos because Hicks probably would have been wearing the same clothes for the early and late shows.

  1. I'm a big fan of Dan Hicks so impressed and happy to see 2 shows on your site (especially from the excellent Ebbets Field series)
    Unfortunately neither of them work - both sound very garbled (reminds me of Frank Zappa). I downloaded with both pixeldrain and bestfile but got the same result.
    The Baez sings Baez is usual pristine sound quality

    1. I just downloaded the links for the early show myself. The BestFile link worked, but the PixelDrain one didn't. Maybe the zip got corrupted or something. I just redid all the links for both shows, to be on the safe side.

  2. Hi Paul
    thanks for quick response
    I tried again with both download options for both shows.
    (This time there was no message from pixeldrain that the file was inaccessible because it was encrypted)
    Unfortunately the sound is still totally garbled and weird.
    Don't want to be a nuisance.
    Maybe the problem is at my end ??? but all the other downloads are fine, as usual
    Thanks for trying
