The problem with most of this guy's live shit is the almost unlistenable quality. How the people that are in charge of his archives release stuff that is even bad for bootleg standards is amazing. This one is a little better though. It don't sound like a soundboard to me, but it then falls into the "excellent audience" recording. You decide. No back cover. Also it seems like I'm not the only one having trouble trying to download the "The Immortal Lee County Killers" over at Son O' anybody else having trouble?

I agree totally with the frustration over Bolin releases, and I too am stymied over at Son O' FBS.
ReplyDeleteWeird Tommy Bolin Story - early 1980's, I'm sitting in a bar this time of year in Belvidere, Nebraska (population 80) waiting for a band to come on. A guy sits down next to me and my cousin and we start talking - he introduces himself as Willie Dixon, and I smartassedly reply that I'm Robert Johnson and the guy next to me is Howlin' Wolf. Unfazed, the guy starts talking about how he's connected to a project about Tommy Bolin, and a year or so down the line when the Bolin box set comes out there's that name - Willie Dixon - listed in the credits. Never did figure out how he happened to land in southern Nebraska that night...
When the Tommy Bolin Archives started it started of strong. Every time I received a postcard in the mail (yes, snail mail back then) I ordered what ever it was they were selling. It must've been close to 20 CDs released in total. Many of them double CDs. From home/studio demos to outtakes and alternates to radio shows and soundboards. Toward the end I believe they just ran out of quality material. Soon the CDs offered were CDRs with computer printed covers and no back covers and very little info if any about the music. It was great in the beginning though! Thanks for this post. It brought back some great memories. Such a talent. Cheers!!
