Liberated Silver Boot--Tendolar TD-112
"Loco in Beantown"
Lineage-SBD Recording-AIFF-WAV-FLAC
OU: Going through the old boot box and came across this one. Right now one is going for $60 on ebay, so I thought some liberating would be in order. I lived in Cambridge from 1980-82 but never got a chance to see Willie live. To me he's part David Johansen and part Johnny Thunders, tossed into the Boston centrifuge and coming out wicked crazy for the better. This show ROCKS and is a lot of fun. Very Good sound, though a little light on the Bass end of things. There's a channel drop or two, but only for a second or so before things get right again. And, when he's not singing, Willie bangs away quite acquittingly on the piano! If anyone has info regarding the specific date of performance please chime in. True to Tendolar quality, track 8 is listed on the back tray card as "Hair;" track 9 is listed as "Everybody Knows." Well. track 9 is definitely "Too Much Monkey Business," so track 8 can't be both "Hair" AND "Everybody Knows." I'm sure an erudite qb'er will step in and clear up the matter.

Here's one I didn't expect to see. Willie was a big part of the Boston scene in the late 70's as well as member of the 60's band the Lost and Bagatelle and even replaced Sterling Morrison in the Velvet Underground in 71.
Thanks.
Paradise website lists this show as September 21, 1978
Track #8 is most definitely not "Everybody Knows". I'm reasonably certain it's "Hair" w/different lyrics & arrangement from the tame 1978 MCA album version.
Willie is a legend and a one of a kind performer--thanks so much for posting this document of a great guy and a great band!
