"Ah, it's Sunday morning and time to dip into draftervois' box of
Richard Thompson tapes.
Members of Our Beloved Voodoo-Wagon audience
will recall these are multi-generation cassette tapes of unknown
provenance, with a bit of hiss.
Back in the olden times, we ran classified ads in Goldmine magazine to
connect with other collectors of live radio shows.
You copied the cassettes in real time, put them in padded mailers,
stood in line at the post office,
and then waited and hoped you'd get cassettes back from the person
on the other side of the trade.
On this cassette, Thompson is in fine form, and the sound is pretty good,
although with a bit too much echoey reverb for my taste.
Studio KAFE was a full-service restaurant and bar featuring live music
and comedy acts.
They also had a radio booth, broadcasting on a local cable radio station
(that is, you couldn't get it on your car radio).
It was an interesting idea but didn't last:
Studio KAFE was open from April 1987 to October 1992.
According to the newspaper ad, Thompson played two sets.
I don't know if this is the early or late show.
There were two audience recordings from the other set added
at the end of the tape.

“I met Leonard Cohen through a mutual friend in Montreal when I was making a movie there in 1988. He took me to a pool hall, to a church, and then we ate pastrami sandwiches. Part wolf, part angel, his music speaks to the soul, his love songs from the dark recesses of the heart. He comes to my house in Venice, California wearing his usual uniform—white shirt, dark suit. His hair is cropped short. He has come from an ashram on Mount Baldy, in California, where he has been living for some time.”
— Anjelica Huston on Leonard Cohen, Interview Magazine, November 1995

HEAR ROCK CITY sad announcement: another music blogger takes a back seat
An Announcement
"Hi everybody.
Just to let you all know I'll be taking an extended break from
HRC for a while.I've been doing this stuff for a long time
and at the moment I just don't have the time or inclination
to post regularly.
So thanks to everybody who's helped with sending in shows.
Talk amongst yourselves until I'm back,
hammer those links that still work.
Above all...Keep Rockin'...Later. "
smoker.
I am saddened to hear this and whilst Smoker specialised in music that may not
always have been MY taste the hard rock genre is the poorer for his standing down and
we have posted links to many an item that we DID share an interest in
Take it easy Smoker and Keep on Truckin’ whatever you do!
The Brothers Comatose x Lech from The California Honeydrops - “Take It to the Limit” by the Eagles 😉
Now as the Big Lebowski would have it I am not the biggest Eagles fan but heck the boys and their guests about transform this MOR classic!
The Brothers Comatose x Lech from The California Honeydrops - “Take It to the Limit” by the Eagles … w/ special guest @gottscates on mandolin.
The Brothers say
“Man, come on. I had a rough night and I hate the f**kin’ Eagles, man!” - The Dude, “The Big Lebowski” (1998)That iconic, perfectly delivered line carried enormous power...and man, did the Eagles get screwed by it! Almost overnight, it turned one of our biggest and most celebrated bands into a punchline, distilling everything they ever created down into one easily quotable joke. This was a band that defined the coolness of Los Angeles in the 70s, featured gorgeous 5-part male harmonies, and wrote hit...after hit...after hit!. Suddenly, in the increasingly cynical 90s,it became cooler to hate rather than appreciate them.But if we could lose the cynicism and listen with fresh ears there’s a whole lot to love and discover about them. So dammit, we’re here to say “we love the f**kin’ Eagles, man!” and we don’t care who knows it. "
Fair enough! When you can sing and play as good as this who am I to disagree! 😏
