ATSE has been on a bender of posting the No Nukes Concerts and the last one was our very own Ry Cooder no less and despite being only eight tracks and running a tad noisy and ‘hot’ it is still highly let enable and worth checking out!
Ry Cooder - No Nukes Concerts | MADISON SQUARE GARDEN 1979 | Albums That Should Exist
The eleventh album I'm posting from the 1979 No Nukes concerts is a set by singer and guitarist Ry Cooder.
All the music here comes from the September 21st concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City. It's possible that Cooder did other sets on other nights, but I don't know one way or another.
Cooder plays many instruments, but he's best known for his slide guitar playing. He released many solo albums in the 1970s, mostly consisting of cover versions. His latest album had been released just a month before this concert, "Bop until You Drop." All the songs he performed in this set were from that album except for "Lookin' for a Love."
Two guest stars had prominent roles. Soul singer Bobby King helped sing "Lookin' for a Love." Then Chaka Khan helped sing "Don't Mess Up a Good Thing." She had helped sing that song on his "Bop until You Drop" album as well. As you can hear from Cooder's comments at the end, her set immediately followed his, so she probably stayed on stage.
The song "Little Sister" was included on the official "No Nukes" album. If Cooder only did this one set, then that must be the same version as this one. Everything else is unreleased.
This album is 27 minutes long.
