Vancouver ’75

For the next 2 Fridays, Gilles has prepared the following show for you: Vancouver Canada, 1 Oct. 1975. In other news: don’t you find it terribly annoying when the postman rings your doorbell carrying a Very Important Package while you’re in the bathroom, and by the time you get to the door, you find this letter saying you’ll have to present yourself at the post office? Next Tuesday? Yeah, me too.

    Apostrophe?… In ’75? With Roy Estrada? Hm, I’ll be curious about that!

    I prefer when the postman doesnot ring your bell at all (whether you’re at home or not) just leaves a letter about your package. Experienced a few times…

  3. I prefer when the postman rings twice, myself. :)

    I really enjoyed this one. I don’t know why exactly, but I think it has something to do with the rudimentary versions.

    Can’t wait for part 2!

    wow this is a sick show. i’ve never heard a live version of apostrophe. sound Q could stand to be a little better, but my tastes don’t require a perfect mix. i’m more into the archaeological (sp?) aspect of Z’s stuff. fantastic material here though, thanks for the post. cheers!

    As LRon so aptly points out-it is the historical significance of these show tape transfers that informs our appreciation of commercial releases such as Live In New York/Roxy&Elsewhere etc. . . We have versions of The Legend of the Illinois Enema Bandit without the sophisticated narration of Don Pardo or Ray White’s vocals. (Suddenly FZ’s ‘this is for Roy Estrada’ takes on a greater meaning) upon listening to the live version of Apostrophe one is immediately struck with the thought “Roy is kicking Jack Bruce’s ass!”
    Truly an important addition to the stream of conceptual continuity! Hails!
