Taper's Comments:
1 - HELP!! If you have any uncirculated SPIRIT shows, or better quality FM
broadcasts than what's been posted here before, please share them. If you
know anybody who has shows that fit this category that aren't on DIME, please
dub off their stuff and share it. I'm trying to write a book on SPIRIT and need
all the information I can get. I have a database of over 1500 gigs 1967-1996, and
want to find as much information as I can to add to it. If you have any memories
of where you saw SPIRIT, the more specific the better (venue, city, date, supporting
bands, etc.), I'd love to know that as well. Please leave that in the comments
section or PM me. Thank you!
2 - Show description & comments follow:
This is the classic THIN LIZZY line-up on the last date of their 1977 US BAD REPUTATION
tour, which unfortunately would be Brian Robertson's last ever US concert with the
band. The recording isn't a "top of the heap" production, but still very listenable,
especially after you get past the early part of the show. On "Jailbreak" it sounds like
people are passing by the taper, muffling the sound in parts. There's lots of talking
on "Emerald" as well. Sounds like "Where's the bathroom?", "You're in my seat", type
of stuff. Definitely not one for the casual fan, but a must for all you LIZZY hardcore's.
The "Uptown Theatre" must have been a beautiful venue in it's day, but fell into
disrepair not too long after this show. There is an effort going on now to restore it.
Enjoy!
