I shot a couple of rolls of B&W film that night. I'm attaching a scan of the one I've had hanging on my wall for years. All the rest of the negatives are around here somewhere. Guess I should try to dig them out." (This guy also signed his name "Carlton" who is on the pic you posted.)<BR/><BR/>oneguysjunk: "There are actually 2 recordings made in at Kingfish at the Pistols show. If this version starts off with somebody saying "Throw something at them" then it was made in the back of the room. The other recording was made in the first row and on it you can hear the off mic comments made by the band, particularly Sid, who was picking up the coins thrown at him throughout the show. (the tape made in the first row was made by the same taper who recorded the Slade 6/15/74 show that was also just torrented here.) The "Throw something at them" version is from a boot, many generations removed from the master.""<BR/><BR/>kevn_rocks/carlton: "This recording has some talk about throwing coins. I had forgotten that happened and Sid was scurrying around picking the coins up. This is missing two pieces of stage banter though that I remember very well. After the first song or two, Johnny Rotten screamed at some people in the front to "Stop the F&^king spitting" Later Sid saw a girl with some cool sunglasses on and kept asking her to "Give me the shades". These don't turn up anywhere that my feeble ears detect on this recording and they should be very prominent since both were said into the mic. Whatever the venue it's still a pretty decent Pistols recording."<BR/><BR/>**********<BR/><BR/>Naturally, I'm downloading the show!<BR/> <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A><A HREF="joyofsox.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow" TITLE="joyofsox at hotmail dot com">redsock</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10568560.post-1112052371464665642005-03-28T17:26:00.000-06:002005-03-28T17:26:00.000-06:00oops, i guess he figured it out, silly boy! P...oops, i guess he figured it out, silly boy! <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A>sleepybombAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10568560.post-1112051342531580862005-03-28T17:09:00.000-06:002005-03-28T17:09:00.000-06:00Mikey,I found the 224 tape from this night.My copy...Mikey,<BR/><BR/>I found the 224 tape from this night.<BR/><BR/>My copy was on the same tape as the Ramones/Runaways 2/21/78 soundcheck.<BR/><BR/>NOW, that night was a story unto itself.<BR/><BR/>If you remember, I actually was a student at Tulane, and the 2/21/78 Ramones at McAlister Auditorium was SUPPOSED to be run by Tulane students, but NOT a one showed up to help that day. So I called on you, FA, and Bubba to do the load in/load out and hang around.<BR/><BR/>We also took over that night, if you remember the soundcheck -- The Runaways were late, with FA standing in for Joan Jett in order for the soundman to get a level on the guitar, and Bubba at the piano in the backstage area. Bubba started playing Mr. Pain and I was out in the hall and started singing, so FA cranked up the guitar. In walk the Runaways and gave us all dirty looks. (Except for Vicki Blue the Runaways bassist dragging FA into a secluded backstage area and ......., well, they came back wearing each others shirts.) <BR/><BR/>Remember somebody threw a beer bottle at Johnny Ramone and he stopped the show and wanted to fight that asshole. (Its on the tape, me and Deano laughing our fool heads off at the idiot who threw the bottle as he was tossed from the concert. Tulane security was as useful as teats on a bull.....)<BR/><BR/>Anyhow I've found the tape you made at Kingfish of the Pistols.<BR/><BR/>Now, were you in McAlister for the Kinks soundcheck 2/20/76, when me and their soundman started singing "Mother's Lament" (from Cream's Disralei Gears)and Ray Davies came in late and chimed in from stage???<BR/><BR/>NOW, I dare you to repeat the Badfinger story from 3/31/72.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A><A HREF="http://thewreckroom.blogspot.com/2005/03/kingfish-1-8-78.html#comments" REL="nofollow" TITLE="frosty at fosterfreez dot gov">Mr. Freezer</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10568560.post-1112003835223613452005-03-28T03:57:00.000-06:002005-03-28T03:57:00.000-06:00Man, that was a great story. That's the sort of t...Man, that was a great story. That's the sort of thing I can only read about, but you really put me in the moment. It's all so real. Johnny in the suit, Sid being the fooked up clown that he really was... oh, and the people who played music before joining the band (jones and whatshisface). I'm a bit young.... johnny was in pil before i knew about punk. sid died before i turned five i believe. yeah, i wasn't even 3 when you went to the show. <BR/><BR/>so, you keep pining for the easy. you in reno for work? if so, ya'll hurry on back... you don't seem happy in reno. don't imagine reno's all that great, but at least you can gamble your paycheck away on blackjack or hookers, whatever's your pleasure. lots of sinful options.<BR/><BR/>time to fold the laundry and go to bed.  <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A>nostradumassAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
