Speedy says: 

"I've seen Squeeze on 2 occasions - in August 1981 at the South Mountain "Music Fest" - in reality, the side of a hill - and in August 1985, at Pier 84 in New York. 

This FM broadcast captures Squeeze on June 30, 1980, 46 years ago today, in Chicago. The band was on tour in support of the album Argy Bargy, which helped them finally breakthrough in the US and had some critics hailing Chris Difford and Glen Tilbrook as the new Lennon & McCartney. While that praise was a bit over the top, there’s no doubt that the duo filled Argy Bargy with a host of soon to be classic new wave tunes, including Pulling Mussels (from the Shell), Another Nail in My Heart and If I Didn't Love You. "

I have this one already but if you don’t and dig Squeeze you won’t go far wrong as its from Speedy! this next clip is for him!

from when I loved The Faces - we hitchhiked to see them play at what would become my alma mater Leicester Polytechnic (De Montfort University) where Rod was still introducing this fine fine classic solo Macca song thusly! ‘Here’s a number, you may not know it but if you don’t know it I really don’t know where ya bin!’  . . . . oh we KNEW it!

You might notice a new face on the left…

It has been a dramatic few weeks for Bob Dylan and his band. To catch up anyone who needs it, here’s the timeline:

• June 4: The summer tour begins in Troutdale, Oregon (here’s a review by Death Cab for Cutie’s Dave Depper). The band lineup at this point is the same he’s had for several years now, featuring Doug Lancio and Bob Britt on guitars. They play the first six shows together although, by the end, Bob Britt is not entering until a few songs into the set. Foreshadowing!

• June 17: With no announcement or explanation, Doug Lancio is gone after five years. Appearing onstage in his place that night is Julian Lage, one of the most famous jazz guitarists working today. Fans wonder if Lancio will return, but he doesn’t. Lage remains for seven shows, playing guitar alongside Britt, but anyone looking at his website can see he has other commitments beginning June 29 (last night).

• June 27: Bob Britt announces on Facebook that he has quit. He has been with Dylan for seven years. The next show on the calendar, two days later in Austin, Lage will not be able to play either. He’s got an event in New York. In the span of 10 days, Dylan has gone from two guitarists, both of whom have been with him for years, to zero. 

Which brings us to last night. The Dylan-nerd corners of the internet were abuzz with curiosity. Not about the setlist, but about who would play guitar in Dylan’s band. Who could—or, given the murky circumstances surrounding two dramatic mid-tour departures, would—jump in on extremely short notice?

Luckily, we had a man on the ground to report in and tell us what went down. Danny Golden is an Austin-based musician who just released his new album The Big Blue last week. The album was inspired by a pilgrimage he took to Leonard Cohen’s house in Greece. He’s a Dylan and Cohen superfan, and posts hilarious Reels on Instagram about both artists. This one’s maybe my favorite (it happened to me recently listening to John Wesley Harding):

Rory Gallagher - Calling Card [debut] at Rockpalaste 1976

 

Calling Card is the sixth studio album and eighth album overall by Irish singer and guitarist Rory Gallagher. Released in 1976, it marked the second of four albums he released on Chrysalis Records during the 1970s. The album was co-produced by Gallagher and Roger Glover, the bassist for Deep Purple and Rainbow. This collaboration was notable as it was Gallagher's first experience working with a high profile producer and remains his only successful partnership of such collaboration.

Calling Card also marked the end of an era for Gallagher's band, as it was the last album to feature Rod de'Ath on (drums) and Lou Martin on (keyboards). Following the Calling Card tour (1976-1977), Gallagher restructured his line up, retaining only his long-time bass guitarist Gerry McAvoy. He hired Ted McKenna as the new drummer, forming a revised power trio that became his core group from early 1978 until 1980

Birthdays again this week - Big Bill Broonzy 26th June 1893/1903? - August 14th 1958

 

Big Bill Broonzy (born Lee Conley Bradley; June 26, 1893/1903 – August 14, 1958) was a foundational American blues singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose career spanned five decades and bridged the gap between rural country blues and urban electric blues.

Did I even know that Big Bill’s name was Lee Conley Stanley?I guessI must have as adored him from early on (13!)
