Good story mate. If that Vancouver 79 gig turns up I'll be happy to try clean it up the best I can.BasingSt78 wrote: ↑22 Aug 2018, 4:17pm"Saw" them twice in the US. September 79 in Seattle, August 82 in Philadelphia. Both times so far away I could barely make out what was happening. The PA was cranked up so loud in Seattle my pant legs were flapping. I was basically deaf afterwards for several hours. I missed them by a few weeks when they played Vancouver in January of 79. I would have loved that. I have been to The Commodore Ballroom, its a wonderful venue, where audio taping is allowed, or at least was. I still wonder why there is no recording of this show.
A cool vinyl shop in Seattle had lots of imports, bootlegs, and this is how I latched onto the first LP. I saw some photos of them outside of Rehearsals in Creem or Trouser Press, and suspected I would like their music. I loved it, and snarfed up every crappy audience tape and bootleg I could find ever since.
Who has a nice crisp copy of Vancouver Jan 1979? The Force tells me it DOES exist...
As far as the BBC doing this, for a die hard collector like me, the more the merrier. Cheers, BasingSt

Re: BBC Clash Project
Marky,
That is a dream I suspect by now. I do remember it was what, over 25 years, before that perfect mixing desk of the Akron 82 show dropped? That was a while ago though. The thought of a nice copy of this show disintegrating on an old, poorly stored cassette haunts me. Perhaps the taping policies were not as liberal as when I was there in 83, but that was only 4 years later. The days of really active cassette then CDs traders seems to have gone by the wayside. My fear is the mines are tapped out; no more treasure to be found. I do often wonder what folks like Don L might have stashed away. As you all know, photographer Bob Gruen was great friends with the band. I have heard from several people over the years he is also a hoarder of both audio and video. I hope the Summer in the UK is better than here. This is the hottest ever in my corner of America so far, and continues unabated. Cheers, BasingSt

Re: BBC Clash Project
Yes Bob Gruen was a hoarder the DVD of the Dolls stuff I have probably came from Bob's archive. I do expect if Bob had any Clash stuff it would've seen the light of day by now. I am convinced he was most likely the taper of the Hammersmith Odeon '79 gig.BasingSt78 wrote: ↑28 Aug 2018, 3:51pmMarky,

I bet there are loads of tapes still out there sitting in peoples lofts, garages etc. Forgotten about, what with the digital age and a general reluctance/can't be arsed attitude to liberating them by the owners.BasingSt78 wrote: ↑28 Aug 2018, 3:51pmMarky,

Where this stuff is concerned there have always been greedy bootleggers. Most bootlegs I ever bought were way over priced. At least these days there is this really nice fellow called Marky Dread who gives all his time and effort freely.101Walterton wrote: ↑28 Aug 2018, 7:28pmSadly people have also got very greedy and Ebay.Marky Dread wrote: ↑28 Aug 2018, 7:15pmYep there's bound to be long forgotten stuff.

I know my bottom is hurting. I will of course share that stuff but it needs a fair bit of work and my time is limited at the moment while I'm trying to sell my house and other stuff. Be patient you've waited 30 years a few more months won't cause you to disappear and cause embarrassment to your family. Besides it might just be the business.101Walterton wrote: ↑28 Aug 2018, 7:35pmMarky Dread wrote: ↑28 Aug 2018, 7:32pmWhere this stuff is concerned there have always been greedy bootleggers.
