| Notes: | RG used good, not Millard-level recording gear, which means his tapes are mostly solid and listenable, with the occasional very good one and also sorta crappy one. What makes his tapes compelling is that RG was recording in a particularly vital window of time. In many instances these were the first or second times these acts played Los Angeles. Some never did proper US tours, only playing select dates in key markets like LA or NYC. Also, for many of these gigs, RG was the only taper. He grabbed a few local radio broadcasts along the way, too. Because these shows were almost exclusively at clubs like The Whisky and The Roxy, the sets are generally short, 45 to 60 minutes because that's what you did at The Whisky. On occasion, RG would copy his own masters to save tape and we have done our best to distinguish what’s a true master and what’s a first generation copy. If there’s a doubt, we will note it. Regardless, the series will offer the lowest generation copies available of his recordings, digitized directly for the first time from RG’s tapes which had been stored in boxes for the last 15+ years. New Wave LA moves outside of LA this week as RG takes a trip east and records R.E.M. at the University of Vermont on the Pageantry tour, one of the band's best. RG became friendly with R.E.M. in the mid '80s and had a standing offer to be added to the guest list for any show and he took them up on it for this gig. The Burlington set is a good representation of the core tour set, which featured the key songs from Life's Rich Pageant, contributions from the three albums and EP that preceded it, and some fun covers including Classic 1V's "Spooky" (presumably a Halloween special), "Femme Fatale," "Moon River," "Riders in the Sky" and even a bit of Springsteen's "Born to Run." We also get previews from what would become the band's fifth album, Document: "Oddfellows Local 151," a rare "Lightnin' Hopkins" and future breakthrough single "The One I Love." The sound quality definitely bears the signature of a college gymnasium, but with some mastering we wind up with a relatively clear capture and good fidelity. Samples provided. We’re so grateful to RG for letting JEMS dig through his tape boxes and pull out the assets for this series. He witnessed amazing SoCal music history. Tip of the hat as well to cpscps who volunteered to handle post-production on our series which is a huge help to us and makes it possible to get more music in your hands. Stay tuned for more New Wave in LA. BK for JEMS | |||||
