Ronnie Lane - BBC Sessions, Volume 4: In Concert, BBC Paris Theatre, London UK -1976 | Albums That Should Exist

Ronnie Lane - BBC Sessions, Volume 4: In Concert, Paris Theatre, London, Britain, 2-16-1976

Paul says : Here is the fourth and last album of Ronnie Lane performing for the BBC. It's another BBC concert.

This is another episode of the "In Concert" radio series, with a BBC DJ doing most of the talking between songs. That portion of this album is rather short, 25 minutes, making up tracks two through eleven. I don't know if it's the whole show. Probably not, since there were no introductions of Lane and his band at the beginning. All of those tracks come from the official album "You Never Can Tell." It's possible they didn't include some songs since they were similar to other versions on that album, since it has another BBC concert on it.

Because the concert I had available is rather short, I decided to add a couple of songs to it. The first song, "The Poacher," is an unreleased version from the TV show "Supersonic" in 1976. The last song, "One for the Road," is also unreleased, and comes from the BBC TV show "Old Grey Whistle Test" in 1976. Both of these songs didn't have applause at the end, but I added some so they would fit in with the rest.

Unfortunately, this is the last BBC concert for Lane because his career more or less petered out not long after this. He'd been having health problems since the early 1970s, though he mostly was able to cover them up. But by 1977, he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis as his condition got worse. His last studio album was released in 1979. He continued to occasionally play and record, but he wasn't nearly as active as he was before. He passed away in 1997 at the age of 51. 

This album is 34 minutes long.

Paul he say: Here's another BBC album by ex-Faces member Ronnie Lane. This is the third out of four that I've found.

Like the previous volume in this series, this is a BBC concert. Both of them are close in time, set about six months apart. But in between, Lane released his album "Anymore for Anymore." So naturally there are a good number of songs performed from that album.

The concert has been officially released in full as part of the album "You Never Can Tell." However, for some reason, it was badly mixed, with the lead vocals too quiet. So I fixed that for all songs using the UVR5 audio editing program.

The concert is a bit strange in that all the talking between songs is done by a BBC DJ, as if Lane could only sing, not talk. But that was the occasional style for BBC concerts in the early 1970s.

This album is 49 minutes long.

“PLONK”! | Albums That Should Exist | Ronnie Lane BBC SESSIONS ’73-’76 Vol 1

Ronnie Lane - BBC Sessions, Volume 1: 1973-1976

Paul says : I've posted a couple of Ronnie Lane stray tracks albums. Now, I'll start turning my attention to what music he performed for the BBC. He was in the Small Faces, and then the Faces. But his time in the spotlight for his solo career only lasted for a few years due to having multiple sclerosis. (He was diagnosed in 1977, but in retrospect he was showing signs since the early 1970s.) Despite that short time frame, I found enough for four BBC albums. This one consists of studio sessions. The other three are all live concerts.

All but one of the performances here are officially released, and all of those come from the BBC compilation album "You Never Can Tell." The one exception is the song "You Never Can Tell" (ironically enough), which is from an appearance on the BBC TV show The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1975. 

The first four songs are from a 1973 session. The next four are from a 1974 session. The last four are from a 1976 session. (As usual, check the mp3 tags for more details.) Most of the songs are originals either from his solo career or his years with the Faces, plus one song ("All or Nothing") that he did with the Small Faces. "Sweet Virginia" is originally by the Rolling Stones and "You Never Can Tell" is originally by Chuck Berry.

This album is 47 minutes long.

On the matter concerning my dress 

as if to prove a point (how good they are!) Guess I’m Dumb does it again and features a little gem from The Faces first album in Three Button Hand Me Down. It features the writer and bass player Ronnie ‘Plonk’ Lane the brains, along with Stevie Marriott, behind the SMALL Faces who went on to feature so well with his later work alongside Pete Townshend and the guys Gallagher & Lyle out in the countryside in Slim Chance. It was all Kushty Rye until his premature death in Trinidad, Colorado from MS at a mere 51. We miss him!

THE ARMS CONCERT - For RONNIE - Voodoo Wagon

 

The Voodoo boys (well Jobe!) reposted this classic live concert of wonderful sets from Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton Stevie Winwood, Jeff Beck and others (Andy Fairweather Low, Joe Cocker, Paul Rogers to name but three). 

Ronnie Lane of The Small Faces, Faces and Slim Chance and a happy solo career fell foul of MS in 1977 and organised a charity concert of by now legendary attendees after Clapton's run for the Prince's Trust and he extended the run at the Royal Albert Hall to arrange a follow up fundraiser for the Multiple Sclerosis charity. After living with the disease for 21 years, Ronnie died in June 1997, aged 51 leaving his wife and four children (two step children who took his surname)

It is always worth checking out and again the guys over at Voodoo Wagon have reposted part of it here again
