World Party 1993-07-25 Wadsworth Theatre Los Angeles, CA FM broadcast recording, excellent quality
Available in both lossless (FLAC) and Mp3 (320 kbps) versions
Here's more from Karl Wallinger and World Party, this time following the release of their follow-up album to Goodbye Jumbo (1990), Bang! (1993) and their subsequent tour. By this time, Karl had added David Caitlin Birch on guitar and Chris Sharrock on drums to the band, as well as additional touring support. I was fortunate to be able to see them live on this tour, where they opened for 10,000 maniacs on much of their 1993 tour. This is an excellent quality recording from one of those shows. here they feature several new songs from Bang, in addition to some from earlier albums. Another fine example of the music of Karl Wallinger and World Party. I have one more (longer) show from this same period that I will post in few days, but enjoy this one now.
Tracklist: 01 show introduction 02 Is It Like Today 03 Sunshine 04 Put The Message In The Box 05 Let The Kingdom Come 06 Ship Of Fools 07 Like A Rolling Stone 08 Way Down Now 09 Don't Give It All Away

Nice set for a Sunday . . . . . .BBChronicles hasn't posted any Nora Jones before and why not start here . . . . .this makes some smoochy listening ( it's a word !) for a Sunday but I was surprised. Nora has come long way since this but it is always nice to revisit her playing the UK at Althorp Park in Northampton where Princess Diana is buried and the family ancestral home played an open air do for Nora
Good start to the week again boys and girls and BB Chronicles doesn't post as much as say the boys over at the Floppy Boot Station or the back of the Voodoo Wagon but heck when he does. . . . that's a doozie of a Suzanne Vega from 1990 this morning! Really fine, fine quality and in two different formats and even the mp3 is crisp and clear as a bell but he always makes FLAC files available too. Vega is in her prime here and playing with a really tight very nineties sounding band and I cannot stress how great this set and recording is. Check out what BB says about it here Suzanne Vega 1990 - Live in Luxembourg - BBChronicles

2. What's the New MaryJane?
1. Blue Jay Way
plus
Hey Jude, Come Together, Revolution, Something, Yesterday, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, With a Little Help From My Friends, I am the Walrus, Daytripper, I Feel Fine, Rain, Here There and Everywhere, You Can't Do That, Drive My Car, Norwegian Wood, Things We Said Today, Got to Get You Into My Life,
(As mentioned in previous post, since Revolution 9 is not really a song and can't really be judged by same criteria as other songs, not fair to include it here - for the record, it is interesting as a sound collage, but is not something that should be included on a Beatles album, and yes, I almost always skip over it)."
