I just found this by chance for the first time.

Feel so gifted I have the ability to see this. At 34 y/o Im so fortunate that I have the chance to see this. Ive no idea how else one could do this. See one of the fathers of rock and roll playing live over 25 years before I was born.

Who knows how many great musicians will be influenced by the ability to see footage like this and hear the magic.

Before this I found the clip of Tom Petty jammin with Bo doing one of my favs mona.

Good call on the Yello. I could have sworn, during the Fall '87 semester, after school one day, my friend and I went to the Tower Records on Market near Castro. There, he bought Yello's One Second on CD. That stood out, because it was a time when my classmates were just starting to acquire CD players, which, back then, were expensive.

.... wrote the original "Flow My Tears" many hundreds of years ago.

My favorite sci-fi author, Philip K. Dick, wrote the superb novel entitled, "Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said", which in part focused on Dowland's work and also had some very cool references to audio and audiophile stuff, such as when the protagonist opines that a possible reason there is no sound coming from the record being spun is that needle is riding on the fine ridge between grooves. Only an inveterate drug abuser (ask PKD was) could come up with such a wild idea.

Unless of course we remember that the original Monty Python's "Matching Tie and Handkerchief" album had TWO grooves on one side, so that when you played that side, you had a 50-50 chance of hearing one track or the other. When my best friend and I played the album for the first time, we had no idea about the two tracks.

So, after we listened to both sides and laughed our asses off, we decided we wanted to hear the entire album again right away. But when we re-played that side with the two tracks, and the second track came on, we absolutely freaked out! We were flabbergasted. How could we not remember something we just played not more than 40 minutes ago? We were really puzzled until we investigated fully and found out what was up.

I suspect that the Pythonites (like PKD) may have been a little 'altered' when they came up with that idea (or at least we like to think so...... ) ;-)

(BTW, Dowland's 'FMT' is very lovely.)

Now we're starting to date ourselves- I've got that on cassette!!!, posted on January 29, 2015 at 05:36:05

You realize that I now have another LP to add to the ever-growing short list? nt, posted on January 29, 2015 at 05:37:56

Apparently, that 'double track' on the disc's "A" side was only in the initial pressings, and they didn't do that for the subsequent pressings. My friend's album (bought shortly after release) has the double track, as I described. But when I purchased a copy for myself years later, it was a normal record. So be sure you get that original pressing.

Let me know what you find.

Best of luck in your search!
