| J-Card Comment | setlist: unknown (11 tracks, not necessarily all correctly tracked but pretty close) comments: This was first posted a few months ago by myself, glasnostrd19, and it fell off the tracker which I found rather surprising, since it may be one of the rarer offerings I've shared to this point on the dime. I didn't know how to do sound samples then, I do now so this time I can share a sound sample of this show. This is almost a reseed, but not quite. If you got the 1st post of this back in March, you don't need to get this one. It was one of my first uploads, when I just wanted to upload a ton of stuff after a long delay, now I'm trying to be alot more time-appropriate in my postings, and this show is almost 31 years ago now, yet another example of what is memorable this Memorial Day and we haven't heard nearly enough of. I'm pretty sure this is the complete show in what is a hometown area gig for at least one of these guys. I've never seen Captain Beyond live, wish I had, they weren't playing around very long. They're a very good live and on album band if you like rockers. Their 1st 2 albums, Captain Beyond and Sufficiently Breathless, are both very good. the 3rd one isn't as good as the first 2 (imho) but still has some good songs and you get a nice variety of all 3 in this set. So it seems a reseeding of this is now due. If anyone's got more of this Captain, especially from 72 or 73, I'd really like to hear some, and I don't think I'm the only one. They were still pretty good in 77 which was when their 3rd (I believe) studio album "Dawn Explosion" was brand new. The quality isn't great on this, but well above the "for completists only" level, I'd say. It's good enough for me to enjoy listening to it. the same is not exactly true for the Aerosmith Providence 74 I just posted. the sound files and fpts are completely unchanged from my first posting, (including lack of most of the titles) I did change the torrent file name from "cb" to "Captain Beyond" with the date, (I had thought torrents themselves could only have 10 characters at that time) which meant new md5 and torrent files were needed, and some info. updating. There was a post on dime in Dec. 2007 ("the completer") that included parts of 4 shows, the last of them listed as "unknown venue, L.A. 5/26/77". This may or may not be that same show, and if it is, it's alot "completer" than the completer version which has less than half this much from 77. The sound on this may be a little bit better than the 77 part of that is. This is entirely from a different source recording and sounds to me like the full show. It is not excerpts of different shows. Definitely all from one concert. It sounds like it was recorded on a rather cheapo mono cassette deck but it's clear enough to hear all the instruments. The crowd is enthusiastic and loud and they can be heard well here but it's not overwhelming in the recording. there is one flip cut 45 min in, during a transition between tracks 8 and 9, only a few seconds were missed. otherwise, this is all from stage intro to the end of the encore. sorry, I don't have a setlist for this. It's 11 tracks, probably a few of them are multiple songs. The only ones I know by title are track 2 (distant sun) and 4 (armworth > DMB). track 5 and 7 are from the "new" album of 77 (dreams?, and fantasy?). Track 10 has a drum solo. I'm told the 73 Arlington Texas show was released (officially? maybe just unofficially in a limited edition sort of thing), and that there is a very nice aud from that same location in 1972. If anyone has that, or any 72 CB please post it. The 1st album is my favorite one, the second is also very good music. Both have been on my turntable (definition for those who have never seen one: predecessor to a C.D. player) many times. I was told long ago they're from Chicago, which may help explain the very warm audience reception they had for this show. I think they have a song called "dawn explosion", if so, that's the last track in this show. This is my only live Captain Beyond show, wish I had more, so enjoy this one folks. Do not sell this recording. Trade freely and losslessly. |
