Current Music: Robert Gordon and Link Wray, 8/15/1977
Via a couple of Lucas Gonze posts, I've learned that Wolfgang's Vault (the vast Bill Graham archive) has a concerts section, a nice alternative to the hit-or-miss qualities of the site's "radio" stream.
Did a search for "mahavishnu", and came up empty, unfortunately. This will change in the future, I hope.
So I'm test-driving (after quickly doing the required registration bit) with Robert Gordon and Link Wray, 15 August 1977 at the Bottom Line. (When I was a kid, "Link Wray" = "Robert Gordon's guitarist"; little did I know.) Sounds good on the iBook. There's an unfortunate, though slight, pause between each track, and an occasional glitch in the stream, but overall, it's a wonderful thing to have online.
I've enjoyed what I've heard of the new Neil Young & Crazy Horse at the Fillmore 1970, but seeing the cover…
This must be the "how we will monetize this" part.
…I'm obviously intrigued about the opening band on the marquee — Uncle Miles. (I'd also lovelovelove to hear the Joe Cocker.) The Vault has the sets from March 6 online (for both bands), which leads me to believe that the March 7 sets form the basis of the Young CD, as with the Miles It's About That Time CDs.
So there's Miles, The Mothers, Pentangle, Sly, the 1969 King Crimson (on the verge of breaking up, no doubt), lots o' San Francisco — Quicksilver, Airplane, Mother Earth, Dead, Boz, Moby Grape…
