"This album is a truthful recording of Ten Years After with no overdubs or additives. What you hear is what happened on the night. Recorded over four nights in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Frankfurt and Paris with The Rolling Stones' mobile recording truck and later mixed from sixteen track to stereo at Olympic Studios in London. In answer to the inferior live recordings sold illegally: this is the official Ten Years After bootleg." ME: Hey Dave, you ever heard Ten Years After?CRAZY DAVE (my neighbor): YEA man! Dude! You know Paul McCartney? Well me and Paul McCartney have the same birthday, except I was born ten years after him--TEN YEARS AFTER! And I can remember the first time I heard the Beatles in my dad's basement, and ten years after THAT was Woodstock! You're too young, you probably didn't go to Woodstock. Neither did I. I was watching this other UK band play their first US show--LED ZEPPELIN. They were fuckin' GROOVY! blah, blah, blah, this conversation actually lasted about 3 hours.BUY BORROW
This is a great recording, only available on vinyl. McDowell embodies the classic "old black guy on a porch with a guitar" motif beautifully. There was also a Kids in the Hall skit based off of his persona.BUYBORROW
If you like this, stay tuned for when I make a post on Mississippi Fred McDowell.
