Michael Stipe and Peter Buck swap notes on Losing My Religion demo and isolated vocals!

" so naked and so raw" but . . .heck it is such a great song and the original demo is so slow . . . .

Michael Stipe cringes at his solo, raw vocals of the song Losing My Religion. Peter Buck explains how he likes fans to hear demo cuts to document the history of the band. Michael still struggles hearing demo cuts.


"this is history"

Nobody screwed it up and it sure as eggs is eggs aint CRAP!
Love the boys here so . . . .

Sad to hear of the death of fine actor Anthony Head (Ted Lasso and Buffy of course but much more besides)

 May be an image of one or more people

Saddened to hear of Anthony Head dying today (72) a big fan of he and his older brother singer and fellow actor Murray. Our thoughts and our thoughts go out to his children

Please beware of them that stare

They’ll only smile to see you while

Your time away


And once you’ve seen what they have been

To win the earth just won’t seem worth

Your night or your day


Who’ll hear what I say

Pink Moon, Secondary, 2 of 7 


Pink Moon, Secondary, 3 of 7


Complete lyric:

Please beware of them that stare They'll only smile to see you while Your time away And once you've seen what they have been To win the earth just won't seem worth Your night or your day Who'll hear what I say. Look around you find the ground Is not so far from where you are But not too wise For down below they never grow They're always tired and charms are hired From out of their eyes Never surprise. Take your time and you'll be fine And say a prayer for people there Who live on the floor And if you see what's meant to be Don't name the day or try to say It happened before. Don't be shy you learn to fly And see the sun when day is done If only you see Just what you are beneath a star That came to stay one rainy day In autumn for free Yes, be what you'll be. Please beware of them that stare They'll only smile to see you while Your time away And once you've seen what they have been To win the earth just won't seem worth Your night or your day Who'll hear what I say. Open up the broken cup Let goodly sin and sunshine in Yes that's today. And open wide the hymns you hide You find renown while people frown At things that you say But say what you'll say About the farmers and the fun And the things behind the sun And the people around your head Who say everything's been said And the movement in your brain Sends you out into the rain.


Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - LIVE at Loughborough University S.U. Bar UK 15th Nov 1980 | Poster from Gary Lucas

 


Gary Lucas posted this on his Facebook page and noted they "got stiffed" for the gig which surprises me as a previous Student Union member and aware of how seriously most took their responsibilities for the pay for artists to appear. I asked Gary if indeed it was the union but I hoped not . . . unless anyone out there knows better or otherwise? see his response below 


the original poster looked like this

eBay sourced the poster - there was a really battered one about £70 but . . .

An original concert poster for the Captain Beefheart performance at the Loughborough Student Union on the 15th November 1980.

The poster measures 50.5cm x 76.5cm (19.8 inches x 30.1 inches). There are two holes measuring 2.8cm x 1.8cm and 2cm x 1.9cm to the centre of the poster with several tears on each which have been repaired from the reverse with tape. The condition is very good minus.

So Gary got back to me and is so kind to respond 

our exchange goes like this:

Wouldn’t that have been the Student Union? Seems unlikely to be stiffed by them?! What were the circumstances! Someone else responsible for booking you? I am stunned and terribly disappointed if it was the Union!😟😢

Andy Swapp yeah. Our guy at Virgin had to write a demand for payment letter.

Is that the gig where you gave a reading Gary? I found a YouTube of it earlier. It seems it was a fascinating gig! May I add, I am SO sorry on behalf of all U.K. fans and the N.U.S that Virgin had to chase payments, not my personal experience of the standing of Unions in Oxford, Witney or Leicester where we booked loads of bands way back when! Pretty sure the N.U.S would have come down hard on Loughborough if they hadn’t duly paid what was owed.
Always a fan first GL! 👋🏼😎

Hope sharing this is not too triggering for our Gary but actually is really worth a listen to hard core Beefheart Fans . . . .
