Zürich ’79 (2)

This morning I said to myself, “Self”, I said, “you posted part one of Zürich ’79, wouldn’t it be a swell idea to post part two?”
“Self,” I responded, “excellent thinking“.
Whereupon Self and I had some more coffee, enjoying the warm coziness of Dr Spitzenbaum’s leather couch.

    Hey Self looks like there are no mp3’s just empty track numbers – what’s wrong?

  2. bhuana says:

    whoa, looks like they overindulged in too much coffee man

  3. “Self”, I said: “you’re an idiot.”

    Kindly refresh… :D

  4. adam says:

    I still have some problems with downloading it – it just doesn’t start. Same problem anyone?

  5. Everything downloads fine on my end… There was a typo in the filename of “Keep it Greasy” though which has been fixed (thanks for notifying me Francesco!).

  6. Bert says:

    No connection possible with Keep it greasy

  7. murray says:

    keep it greasy isn’t there but the others seem to be working

  8. Guys: do a forced refresh on the FB-page – you’re looking at a cache problem. I’m downloading Keep it Greasy from there as I’m typing this!

  9. murray says:

    “Treacherous Cretins” is great – love it

  13. Taz says:

    i have keep it greasey in lossless format, if you want i can upload it

  14. Taz: why not use rapidshare.de to upload to? Feel free to post the link to the file here afterwards.

    It seems to me that “Treacherous Cretins” in bootlegas goes with odd time-signature, while on the Shut Up album it’s more ‘simple’ (maybe 4/4), and this page also suggests that Cuccurullo’s line was overdubbed. Or am I wrong?

  16. Birdman! says:

    Hadn’t noticed, but you’re right; this version is 11/8 (4+4+3), and the one on “Shut Up…” is 4/4. The liner notes indicate that guitar solos are “Ampex Guitar”/Xenochronous overdubbage.

    It will be interesting to listen closely to the “Shut Up…” version (which I haven’t done just yet) to listen for hemiola induced statistically Improbable musical phrases.
