131 Miles Davis at CBS

Published October 27, 2019 | By Alan DJ

Some fumbling with the DST shift in Europe meant that our announced show time in the US kept changing, but we still had a good audience for the second of our Miles Davis shows.  This one covered a great deal of ground, too, from ’55 to ’85 including Kind of Blue, In A Silent Way and Bitches Brew.

130 Chicago, Part 1

Published October 13, 2019 | By Alan DJ

For our first look at this band, we covered their first years, up to the death of guitarist Terry Kath.  That covers a lot of ground, eleven albums in eight years, with a lot of change.

The preshow and postshow contained a couple of the long suites of songs that were a feature of their early years, but would have been too long for the main show.

Since I talked a lot about the covers, I’ve linked images of them to the album names.  The ones we missed out are Chicago at Carnegie Hall, which is number 4 in the sequence (White Tile), and Chicago IX – Chicago’s Greatest Hits (Painted Billboard)

When will Big Bands come Back?

Published September 24, 2019 | By malaclypse

That’s the question we are going to ask on Sunday. And while there are those who would answer, “hopefully never,” we believe there is something to be said in favour of the large, multi-section group…

See you in the Cavern,

127: Edison’s Review of the Year

Published September 1, 2019 | By Alan DJ

Our oldest tradition is to get Ed to compose at least one show per year, by selecting his favourite tracks from the past 12 month’s shows.  This year was particularly fruitful, and we had a good crop of choices, which had to be whittled down a little.  Everybody enjoyed the final result, and we had a max of 20 listeners, which, for Labor Day, was pretty good (so I’m told 🙂 )

We had an unscheduled open mic moment over the start of the last track in the show.  You think we’d be good at this by now, but even the best of us makes mistakes.  As far as I know, Ed does not drive a Ferrari.  Or a Mercedes, come to that.

Rarities and What-Ifs, pt. 9

Published August 13, 2019 | By malaclypse

Sunday, August 18th we were going to present a show of Rock made in Germany, but due to circumstances beyond our control will have to postpone that show. So, instead we chose the cheap option and put together another show featuring songs rarely played on radio, and selections with a bit of a story to them.

See you in the Cavern,
