This one’s from draftervoi at the Wagon and they say: We've got 300 dpi scans of the cue sheet, all six disc labels, a newspaper print ad for a ticket broker that proves Winwood played two nights at Great Woods Performing Arts Center on August 21 and 22, 1988.  There's no evidence which date (or if both) was the source of the recording. 

This set of tracks was broadcast three times by Westwood One.  The first broadcast was 88-G broadcast in December 1988, followed by this show (89-23), and then the final broadcast as 90-03.  I put up 89-23 back in 2013 and it's still up in our archives. If you've got that one, you don't need this version unless you want to collect 'em all for the commercials.  I've tossed in the print ad for 88-G, even though this isn't from that particular syndication.

Speedy says:

David Bowie was part of the 1996 Rock Hall Of Fame class, which also included Gladys Knight and the Pips, Jefferson Airplane, Little Willie John, Pink Floyd, Pete Seeger, The Shirelles and The Velvet Underground. David Byrne of the Talking Heads presented Bowie for induction. Bowie, wasn’t in the building, however, as he was in Helsinki, Finland, touring in support of his album, Outside. Madonna accepted on his behalf, and Marianne Faithful performed Rebel Rebel.  Stevie Ray Vaughn was elected in 2015, along with his band Double Trouble. Other inductees that year included Lou Reed, Bill Withers, Joan Jett and Ringo Starr.

This post goes back 13 years earlier to Bowie's tour in support of the Let's Dance album, when he teamed up with Vaughn. While attending the 1982 Montreux Jazz Festival, Bowie was impressed by a then unknown blues guitarist by the name of Stevie Ray Vaughan. So much so, that Bowie invited Vaughan to play on his next album. That disc, entitled, Let’s Dance, would blend a dance format with blues guitar rock to create a distinctive and unique sound. The public loved it, as the album went to #4 on the US Billboard charts and climbed all the way to the top spot in the UK. The album yielded 3 top 15 singles in the US, Modern Love at #14, China Girl at #10 and the title track which reached #1. When Bowie went on tour in support of the album, however, SRV could not accompany him due to contractual issues. This soundboard recording captures the tour rehearsals in Dallas on April 27, 1983, 3 decades ago today. Download this one to hear the unique partnership of David Bowie and Stevie Ray Vaughn.

O.K. knuckleheads here it is, my first post here at our new/old site 5 discs of Georgie Porgie for your listening pleasure. You may have this then again you may not.
One thing that has always puzzled me is why did John and Paul feel the song All Things Must Pass wasn't worthy of inclusion on Let It Be. Hell it's a better song than Across The Universe or Dig It or even For You Blue. The versions I've heard of All Things Must Pass with John and Paul doing the harmonizing background vocals blows away the songs I've mentioned. Anyway see scans for details

Sunset on the 1960s: the four deaths at The Rolling Stones’ Altamont gig

(Credits: Dangerous Minds / Original Posters)

Will Howard

Sun 26 April 2026 12:00, UK

There’s an argument to be made that the best horror movie of 1970 is actually a music documentary. Possibly because 1970 was a rough year for horror cinema, but also because there are few more harrowing music films one can see than Gimme Shelter, the documentary of the catastrophic gig The Rolling Stones played at Altamont the year before. 

Anyone partially familiar with The Rolling Stones knows the story by now. Mick, Keef and chums got in a big row with the public about the ticket prices of their US comeback tour. Jagger, in his infinite wisdom, got bullied in a press conference into saying that they’d host a free concert for all the people who were priced out of seeing them on the tour. The year before, they’d held their proper comeback show for free in Hyde Park, so they had experience in this.

During that gig, the security had been handled by a number of London branches of the Hell’s Angels, so when the time came to play Altamont, they thought they’d do the same. This proved to be a disastrous mistake as the California branches of the Hells Angels were a very different beast from the London branches. They were even more violent, even more racist, and much more likely to not so much solve a problem with violence as act like a Black man existing was a problem, and “solve it” by murdering where they stood. 

This directly led to the most infamous casualty of Altamont, an 18-year-old Black man by the name of Meredith Hunter. Hunter had a checkered past away from the concert and carried a gun for his own safety. As a Black man in 1960s California, this was a smart move. He was also doing absolutely nothing untoward in the concert. He was simply enjoying a rock ‘n’ roll show in the company of his white girlfriend. This was completely unacceptable to the Angels. 

They pestered him all night, and after he tried to move away to get a better view, a biker punched him in the face. Hunter tried to run and turned to find several bikers sprinting towards him. He pulled his gun. The resulting stabbing was caught on camera and is shown to the mortified Stones in Gimme Shelter. The glint of the abhorrent, racist’s knife in an errant spotlight will stay with me for a long, long time. Hunter could have been saved had he been airlifted away in the Stones’ helicopter, but their management shouldn’t have let them. 

A murder like this would be an unconscionable tragedy. This was only the most high-profile death at Altamont. One of the truly horrific deaths on site. 

Who else died at The Rolling Stones’ gig at Altamont? 

While the death of Meredith Hunter is a horrifying act of racism, the first death at Altamont is a very different kind of horrible. Instead, this is one case of a life snuffed out because of youthful stupidity. The festival site had a canal adjoining it. As the first band on the bill started playing in the early morning, one attendee of the show, 18-year-old Leonard Kryszak, decided to go swimming in said canal, giving the finger to a police officer waving frantically at him not to get in the water. 

Turns out, this was one of the vanishingly few occasions that day that someone in charge of keeping the public safe would actually try to keep the public safe. The canal had a current. One much faster and choppier than Kryszak was expecting. That and the shock of the freezing cold water caused him to drown. He was found two hours after he went into the water, while Santana were playing on the main stage. He was due to turn 19 the next day. 

Even after the gig was finished, death was still abundant. Rather than brave the traffic home the same night, a number of people stayed the night on site. Two of these people made a fire for warmth and sat together, possibly reflecting on the absolutely putrid vibes that came off the whole concert and wondering why their acid trip was going so horrifically wrong. They were hit by a car that swerved off the road on the way out of the speedway and were killed instantly. The driver was never found. 

You might have heard the myth that, yes, there were four deaths at Altamont, but there were also four births there too. Sunrise, sunset, the cosmic ballet continues and all that? Yeah. No. That was part of The Rolling Stones’ desperate PR campaign to save some face after their shoddy standards killed four innocent people. The births were made up, but the deaths were very, very real. 

Not only that, they were very, very preventable too.

Taj Mahal - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 5-16-1973, Early & Late Show | Albums That Should Exist

 A TAJ MAHAL TWOFER from PAUL AT ATSE

Taj Mahal - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 5-16-1973, Early Show

Paul says: The recent flood of posts from the Ebbets Field radio broadcasts continues. Here's Taj Mahal. I'll be posting both the early and late shows he did the same night.

This concert was in solo acoustic mode. Mostly, he played guitar. But he also played a little banjo, as well as an African instrument known as the kalimba (also known as the mbira). On the cover image, he can be seen playing a banjo.

His most recent album at the time was "Recycling the Blues and Other Related Stuff," released in 1972. He has an instrumental on that album simply called "Kalimba," which is how I know the name of that song. (I had to figure out most of the song titles, since the bootleg I took the music from was bad with titles.) "Cakewalk into Town" and "Corrina" are the only other songs he played from that album. 

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent. But I did do a fair amount of audio editing in the Audacity program to improve things. Some parts were too loud, sometimes the vocals were too low, and so on.

This album is 51 minutes long.

Taj Mahal - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 5-16-1973, Late Show

Paul adds: The album I just posted is Taj Mahal performing at Ebbets Field in Denver on May 16, 1973, for the early show. This is the same, except it's the late show. The two shows have very similar set lists. (And both were broadcast on the radio, which is why they have such excellent sound quality.) Normally, I wouldn't post two concerts that are this similar. But I figure these are quite obscure. I had a difficult time finding them. So I want to post both, to bring them back into wider circulation.

The main difference between this show and the early show is the last two songs, which were only performed in this show. Plus, the last four songs in the early show weren't performed here. So if you want everything without multiple versions of songs, I suggest you save the early show, then add the last two songs from this late show to the end.

By the way, in case you didn't notice, I recently changed the font type and color for the Ebbets Field concerts I've been posting. The first seven or so had a yellow color. But there were some troublesome issues with that font. So when I found another sixty (!) or so concerts from this venue, I decided to use an easier one. I also found a little logo from the venue showing the baseball stadium in New York City that the venue was named after. I decided to stick that on all the albums from that venue. Since that logo was mainly in green, I changed the font color to green. In recent days, I went back and reposted all the yellow ones to the new color scheme, so they'll all be consistent. 

This album is 54 minutes long.
