Chris Hillman - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 5-8-1975 | Albums That Should Exist

 Chris Hillman - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 5-8-1975

Here's another concert from the radio broadcasts out of the tiny Ebbets Field venue in Denver, Colorado. This one stars Chris Hillman.

This concert found Hillman at an interesting point in his career, just starting a true solo career. Up until then, he had been in a surprising number of bands. He was a founding member of the Byrds in the 1960s. Then he was one of the leaders of the Flying Burrito Bros. from 1969 to 1972. After that, he joined Manassas, led by Stephen Stills, from 1972 to 1973. In 1973, he took part in a Byrds reunion that resulted in one album. Then in 1974, he became part of the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band, a trio consisting of J.D. Souther, himself, and Richie Furay. They put out two albums, but broke up in 1975. 

I checked, and it looks like the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band didn't break up until 1976. However, it also looks like they barely toured at all in 1975 and 1976. I only saw evidence of two concerts. Their second album, released in 1975, was badly received. So it looks like the members were already going their own way. Hillman would release his first true solo album, "Slippin' Away," in 1976. I checked setlist.com, a concert database. It says he performed 16 concerts in 1975, and this one was the very first. If that's true, this concert may have been the very start of his solo career. 

However, that meant he hadn't much time to write songs for his own album. Only two songs here, "Down in the Churchyard" and "Blue Morning," would appear on the "Slippin' Away" album. The rest are from his time with the Byrds (tracks 7 and 24), the Flying Burrito Bros. (tracks 4, 5, 7, and 21), Manassas (track 13), and the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band (tracks 1, 8, and 11). It seems there actually were one or more songs at the end that didn't make the recording. There was a little bit of banter and tuning up right before the recording cut off. I got rid of that little bit. Having audience cheering fade out is a more satisfying way to end an album, in my opinion.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, I love these Ebbets Field bootleg radio broadcasts due to the sound quality. A local company called Tuning Up recorded all of them, and did a better job than typical radio broadcasts from that era. But unfortunately, this concert doesn't sound good as most of them. Probably it's a copy of a copy, and so on, or something like that. However, I ran all the songs through a UVR5 program denoise filter, so at least the sound is better than it was before. I'm not saying this sounds bad; it's just it doesn't sound as good as most of the others I'm posting from this venue.  

This album is 45 minutes long.

Visitors BC and Joan and The Sealyman hisself were talking a while ago now about how Chris Hillman was often overshadowed by others (Stephen Still and Manassas?) and how much they enjoyed his work and here is a solo set that warns it isn’t as good quality as others from the same series from Ebbet’s Field FM recordings but heck I didn’t notice - Hillman fans will love this!

Marquee Nights, Guitar Swagger & Tension (A Butterboy Compilation)

Butterboy says?

SWAGGER & TENSION

VA - Marquee Nights, Guitar Swagger & Tension (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)

In 1977 Marquee Moon revealed a new kind of guitar language. 

The recordings gathered here follow the path that language opened. 

When “Marquee Moon” appeared in 1977 it quietly redrew the map for guitar-driven rock. 

At a time when virtuosity often meant speed, density, and technical display, 

the track by Television introduced another possibility. Its power comes from patience, 

clarity, and the slow accumulation of tension.

Across more than ten minutes of Marquee Moon the music unfolds with unusual control. 

Two guitars move around one another in long, deliberate phrases, sometimes mirroring a 

melodic idea, sometimes drifting apart into counter lines that reshape the rhythm beneath them.

 The playing is intricate, yet it never announces itself as technical showmanship. Instead, 

it feels exploratory, like a conversation unfolding in real time.

What makes the performance distinctive is its sense of space. 

Notes ring out cleanly, rhythms remain steady and restrained, and repetition becomes 

a structural tool rather than a limitation. Small variations gather momentum until the

 music reaches a quiet intensity. The effect is hypnotic without becoming indulgent, 

precise without feeling rigid.

This balance between restraint and complexity forms the guiding idea behind this compilation. 

The selections across its four discs trace artists who share the same musical instinct revealed

 in “Marquee Moon”, guitars used as dialogue rather than spectacle, tension built through 

repetition and interplay, and songs shaped by clarity rather than excess. 

Some tracks anticipate this language, others emerge from the late-seventies moment 

that surrounded it, while later recordings show how the approach continued to echo 

through independent rock.

Across the box set the sequencing reinforces an aesthetic of restraint. 

Each track presents a variation on the same language, clean tone, patient rhythm, 

and guitars that converse rather than compete. The challenge lies not in playing more notes, 

but in choosing fewer and letting them resonate. 

Every phrase carries weight because nothing is wasted.

The collection reveals how a single recording suggested a different kind of guitar virtuosity. 

Not louder, faster, or more elaborate, 

but sharper, leaner, and driven by the charged space between two players.

 (Butterboy)

Do Look Back! | The LIVERPOOL HISTORY SOCIETY | BOB DYLAN CELEBRATION

 

The Kids Are Alright... In May 1966, Bob Dylan was in Liverpool, during his world tour, performing his incendiary electric guitar set at the city’s Odeon Theatre. On Saturday 14 May 1966 with some time to kill before the performance, he was exploring the streets with Barry Feinstein, the official photographer on the European leg of the tour. Dylan, as lean as a string bean, and resplendent in corduroy jacket and diamond patterned shirt, looked every inch the pied piper. So when Bob and Barry came across a bunch of kids playing on the street, it made complete sense to get a picture. The resulting photograph of Bob on the steps with the children is an enduring classic, and one of Barry’s most important and best loved photographs.
