I haven’t visited my old tape-trading days (though I had this one on CDR) in quite a while. I remember listening to this CDR for the first time. I won’t share the details except to say that it was one of my favorite live recordings for a long time.

Enjoy.

Prince's Funky Instrumentals (1977)

I can’t believe I haven’t posted this sooner, but I saw someone mention it the other day on Twitter and it was like I was hit with a lightning-bolt need for some unreleased (as far as I know) Prince instrumental tracks from 1977.

Prince was about 19 years old here and plays organ on these tracks. He is accompanied by Prince, Andre Cymone on bass, and Bobby Z on drums. These recordings are dated about a year before Prince’s first “official” album, For You. They are generally known as the “Loring Park Sessions ‘77” but there is a version floating around called “Husney’s: A Work In Progress,” and frankly, I enjoy the artwork for that one, so that’s what I’ve included in the download. Feel free to replace it or create your own or both.

Download mp3 files and the “Husney’s: A Work In Progress” artwork here.

Anyways, enjoy this early, funky Prince:

Medeski Martin and Wood with DJ Logic Live: Sessions At West 54th

I still have this show on VHS.

I don’t have a VHS player.

Technically this doesn’t fall in the “I had this show via tape trading” category that a lot of things I post. I recorded this on to VHS directly from my faithful local PBS station. I remember watching it.

I don’t know if you remember, but Sessions at West 54th was a New York variation of Austin City Limits. Originally hosted by KCRW’s Chris Douridas, David Byrne took over hosting duties beginning of the second season while John Hiatt hosted the third season. Yes, PBS is that cool.

Enjoy:

I never took the time to write down a setlist but the Wikipedia blurb for this episode of the show (Season Two Episode 06 originally aired 08/14/98) lists:

• Wiggly's Way

• Coconut Boogaloo

• Latin Shuffle

Enjoy.

Soul Coughing (1996 Houston)

As I’ve mentioned before, one of the things I like doing here at Ye Olde Music Blogge is to post concerts that I first came across when I used to do a lot of tape trading. Yes, through the mail. People would make copies of concerts and trade them and mail them across the world. It was glorious and probably still goes on. I never had many Soul Coughing shows but I did have a cassette copy of this 11.01.97 show from the Urban Art Bar in Houston, TX.

I just realized the other day that there is also video for the show. So, I says to myself: “Self: why not go ahead and post that video for the fine folks who happen by Ye Olde Music Blogge?” And, well, danged if you didn’t know; that’s exactly what I did.

Enjoy.

The Deets:

Bob Marley and the Wailers, Rockpalast (06/13/80)

One of the fun parts of doing this music blog has been revisiting concerts that I first came across through tape-trading. I don’t know if you were ever part of that culture, but I have a lot of good memories and was privy to a lot of great music through the U.S. postal system. I once had stacks of tapes of CDRs that I wish I had kept. But sometimes life leads you in other directions and you revisit those memories through the Internet.

Today we’re re-visiting Bob Marley and the Wailers live for Rockpalast (06/13/80). I gave this CDR away several years ago during one of our moves, but I have kept digital versions of the show. Until just the other day, I didn’t know that video of the show existed (I know, I know, you all knew this video existed a long time ago). But it does and it’s worth your time.

The Dealio:

• Bob Marley & The Wailers at Westfalenhalle (06.13.80, Dortmund)

• Filmed for the German live music television program Rockpalast.

Setlist:

• Marley Chant

• Natural Mystic

• Positive Vibration

• Revolution

• I Shot the Sheriff

Akron/Family Live At Ekkko (2006)

I was digging through Ye Ole CDR spindle the other day and came across this 2006 live set from Akron/Family. If you’re not familiar with the band, think one of those geographically spread out bands that comes together to make blissed out space-folk for the existential campfire singalongs.

Anyway, I was going to upload it here and did a quick search only to find that the band themselves have already uploaded it at the amazing Live Music Archive.
