| Notes | TRT 48:37 Audience recording of one of the band's last [pre-reunion] shows, at the Taliesyn Ballroom. Memphis, Tennessee, on 6 January 1978. The recording is not a great one - not distorted, just not very clear and lacking in presence. The show itself sounds as if it was quite spirited, although John seems to be having some trouble hearing, as he yells for the monitors to be turned up twice during "I wanna be me". There is much venting of spleen during the show, from the band and the audience alike, with John slagging off Elvis & Dolly Parton, and Sid yelling abuse at people. Gaps in the tape have been removed. As "Holidays in the Sun" starts, the recording cuts, and the initial feedback and drumbeat was heard twice - this has been repaired. There is a gap in the tape after "Holidays in the Sun", where apparently the song "Problems" was played - this has been left, as there was no way of smoothing it out without losing some audio, and it is a definite break in the show's continuity. There is another break on the tape after "Pretty Vacant", where there is the intrusion of what sounds like a radio call-in interview that plays for a few seconds. Another gap has been removed where there was a break over the cheering while the crowd is waiting for the encore - the start of the last track has been realigned to the break, which is now less noticeable. Other tracks have been realigned to start in more appropriate places. |
