Set 1Bill Evans Trio
September 10, 1980 (The Last Date)
Fat Tuesdays
New York, NY
Recorded live at Fat Tuesdays, NYC, Wednesday, September 10, 1980. Bill
Evans died on Monday,
September 15, 1980. This was the first night of a five night
engagement. Bill called in sick on the second night and Andy LaVerne was called
by the club manager to fill in for him. This is from a tape of unknown
origin and is poor quality, probably a small cassette recorder placed on
the floor of the bandstand with automatic gain control. The tape is
very bass heavy and boomy. The order of tunes was edited by someone. This
is not the original order.
This set list is from a discography-I have not matched it to the CD.
(CD is only 2 long tracks)
1.My Foolish Heart
2.Letter to Evan
3.Polka Dots and Moonbeams
4.Like Someone in Love
5.Your Story
6.Tiffany
7.Time Remembered
8.Turn out the Stars
9.If You could see me now
Bill Evans-p, Marc Johnson-b, Joe LaBarbera-d
Note: This recording does NOT sound like a "poor quality recording made
with a tape recorder placed on the floor." Both the piano and bass
appear to be in excellent quality, however the drums are mostly hidden.
This sounds like a Soundboard recording to me, or at the very least
"stage mics" were used.
Also, it appears that two sets were played on this date, this seems to
be only one of the sets (which set is it? Nobody knows). The Bill
Evans Discography lists the following songs being played on this date (a
few songs twice, which would dictate that there were two seperate sets
played. Please note that the tracks below are not listed in the running
order that they were played,
304/1 My Foolish Heart 3:58
304/2 Letter to Evan 5:10
304/3 Polka Dots And Moonbeams (first set?) 6:15
304/4 Polka Dots And Moonbeams (second set?) 5:50
304/5 Like Someone In Love 6:21
304/6 Your Story 3:52
304/7 Tiffany 5:19
304/8 Time Remembered 5:38
304/9 Turn Out The Stars 6:13
304/10 If You Could See Me Now 6:10
304/11 Bill's Hit Tune (first set?) 7:39
304/12 Bill's Hit Tune (second set?) 8:44
304/13 I Do It For Your Love 5:28
304/14 Knit For Mary F (first set?) 6:13
304/15 Knit For Mary F (second set?) 6:21
304/16 Laurie 6:52
304/17 Nardis 16:17
304/18 The Two Lonely People 7:41
304/19 But Not For Me 8:43

I have reviewed Scott's tape. I haven't had time to identify all of the songs, as the two long tracks make comparisons a little more difficult:

1. If You Could See Me Now 5:55
2. unidentified 7:13
3. unidentified solo piece 6:04
4. unidentified 6:58
5. unidentified - incomplete 5:42
6. My Foolish Heart
7. unidentified solo 5:01
8. unidentified 5:50
9. unidentified 5:56
10. unidentified 4:42
11. unidentified 4:40
12. Time Remembered 5:40
13. Turn Out the Stars - incomplete

When I have time early in 2009, I will finish identifying the rest of the songs. I can say that the following pieces listed above by Scott are definitely not in the 13 tracks he sent me:
Polka Dots and Moonbeams
Like Someone in Love
Nardis
The Two Lonely People
But Not For Me

I am not saying that these songs don't appear on someone else's tape of this evening.
