| Notes | Also available in FLAC. Tom scold's part of the audience for talking when he tries to play the song "Cupid". Pretty unique show, not to mention the AMAZING rendition of "Potter's Field". Check this one out! |
| Tech Notes | Here's a nice one from the '77 Foreign Affairs - tour. Actually, this is a good soundboard-direct-to-tape recording, but the tape was played quite often before transferred to CD, so the quality went "way down in the hole" over the years. After all, it's still nice to listen to, I would give it a B+. There are some severe tape problems at the beginning of track one, but it's getting better after a few minutes. If you find it too disturbing, you might flip on to the second song... I've selected this show for two main reasons: - rare performance of "Potter's Field" ( track 14 ) - funny things happen in "Cupid" ( track 12 ) : Tom started to sing this quiet song with guitar accompaniment, stopped after one minute and complains about the noisy audience....saying something like that: " Shut up back there for christ sake, I'm trying to sing a goddamn song ! These people are trying to listen, you farmers back there making all that ... I mean, for christ sake....sounds like a farm workers convention back there ... I know... I remember my first beer and everything, I get a little rowdie too ! ..." After that, he didn't finish the song but starts with "Heart Of Saturday Night" . :-) There is also an introduction to a local stripper named "Sherry Love" in "Pasties & A G-String" ( track 8 ); unfortunatly, this is not a video ! ;-)) According to drummer Chip White, tour manager John Forscha hired a stripper lady on Toms birthday show in dec.76 to enter the stage in the middle of the song. After that night, they hired a stripper in every town for the rest of the tour. I did very little rework on the sound, just a little limiter and normalization, no noise or hiss reduction...I also have cut out a short segment at the beginning of track 15; there was a very loud and strange noise for about two seconds of no music.
