Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds: Acoustic Sessions

TREON046

A collection of acoustic radio sessions from Noel Gallagher plus an excellent interview from the BBC Radio 4 program "The Mastertapes".

Interview Notes:

John Wilson continues with the latest series of Mastertapes, in which he talks to leading performers and songwriters about the album that made them or changed them. Recorded in front of a live audience at the BBC's iconic Maida Vale Studios. Each edition includes two episodes, with John initially quizzing the artist about the album in question, and then, in the B-side, the audience puts the questions. Both editions feature exclusive live performances.

The A-side. 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' with Noel Gallagher

In 2009 Noel Gallagher left Oasis - one of the seminal bands of the Britpop era with seven multi-platinum albums including: 'Definitely Maybe', '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?' and 'Be Here Now' - which became the fastest selling album in UK chart history. Two years later Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds also went to Number 1 in the UK with tracks like "Everybody's On the Run", "AKA... What A Life!" and "The Death of You and Me". Praised for its psychedelic tinges and eternal themes of love, loss and hope, it's been described as the best collection of songs "since his Morning Glory days".

With tracks inspired by New Orleans ragtime rhythms and Ennio Morricone-like strings, it put paid to rumours that its creator entered into a state of inertia after the end of Oasis. Noel Gallagher said of the album: "I won't criticize anything about Oasis because I loved being in that band and I was in charge of it, but there was always the feeling: how will this go down in Wembley, with 70,000 people braying for good times? This time I didn't have to think about that. I've got a guy playing wine glasses on one song, a saw on another. This is not Oasis."

The B-side: Having discussed the making of 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds', his first studio album since leaving Oasis (in the A-side of the programme, broadcast on Monday 8th December), Noel Gallagher responds to questions from the audience, performs acoustic live versions of some of the tracks from the album and looks forward to his next musical project "Chasing Yesterday" due out in 2015.

Producer: Paul Kobrak.

Jeff Buckley: Live From The Bataclan *Remastered*

TREON043

Live From The Bataclan is a wonderful live performance from Jeff Buckley. Recorded on the 11th February 1995 in Paris.

Notes:
The exact source is unknown but it maybe an FM broardcast or an excellent audience recording. Although the sound quality isn't as good as the officially released tracks the sound is pretty damn good. I have done some audio clean-up here to reduce hiss and improve the over all sound. There is however a few audio glitches thoughout the performance (but not many, only two or three) that I couldn't remove without editing out parts of the performance. The last three tracks of the concert are missing as they are available on the "Live From The Bataclan" EP with is included in the Grace EP's Boxset.

Oasis: Live Demonstration Tape (Extended & Remastered)

TREON035

 In 1992, Oasis were an up-and-coming live act in Manchester, with a small following, but no signs of a record contract. Realising their potential, Oasis guitarist and songwriter Noel Gallagher contacted Tony Griffiths of the Liverpool band The Real People. The two had met on a North American tour with the Inspiral Carpets, on which The Real People had been the opening act and Gallagher had worked as a roadie. Gallagher asked him if Oasis could use their studio to produce a professional sounding demo which they could then send to record companies. Griffiths and his brother Chris claim to have taught the band a lot about recording songs during that period. Around a dozen songs were recorded at the studio at Dock Road, Liverpool in Spring 1993, of which six songs ended up on the final Live Demonstration Tape. The versions of "D'Yer Wanna Be A Spaceman?" and "Married With Children" were recorded at the home of co-producer Mark Coyle

Notes:

This is a project that's been on and off for a few months. I've had a download of the original Live Demonstration Tape for quite sometime and decided it would be great to clean-up the audio and hopefully improve the sound. I actually finished that in March but then I managed to get hold of a FLAC rip of the Precreation Blues bootleg. Just as I was pondering whether to scrap my oringinal work and start again with this new source I got wind that Oasis were going to release (in limited numbers) a remastered verison of the cassette tape as a promotion for the reissue of Definitely Maybe. 

I was able to download the Remastered Tape from here: http://rkid003.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/the-original-1993-demos-cassette.html Special thanks goes to them for making this and so much more available and of cource a massive thank you to the original uploader Freddie.

What is available here is a cleaned up version of the tape plus extras in 320kbps mp3 format.

 

Tracks 1 to 8 are all taken from the 2014 remastered, re-issue of the Live Demonstration Tape. Tracks 9 & 11 are sourced from a direct CD rip. Tracks 10, 12 - 18 are all taken from mp3 download.

The Grace Of Jeff Buckley

TREON031

 The Grace Of Jeff Buckley is a 30 minute audio documentary originally broardcast 5th July 2014 on BBC Radio 4.

Since his desperately early death in May 1997, there's been an inevitable mythologising about the life and music of Jeff Buckley. Perhaps it's not surprising that in the posthumous rush to acknowledge his genius, memories have been clouded or, retrospectively,
given a silver lining.

The quiet, uncertain foundations of his reputation were laid on a solo tour of Europe three years earlier,
in March 1994 - and, in particular, during one day. On the 18th March, Buckley was scheduled for a photo shoot (with Kevin Westenberg), an appearance on BBC GLR and his first proper London concert, at a folk club called Bunjies. In 'The Grace of Jeff Buckley', those who were there speak for the first time about the man and his music: Buckley's American manager Dave Lory, his UK tour manager Steve Abbott, booking agent Emma Banks and photographer Kevin Westenberg share intimate memories that have so far not featured in the Buckley biography.

And the programme also includes rare archive: the GLR radio session that has not been heard since that live broadcast in 1994 - including an astonishing version of 'Grace' - and, exclusively, a private interview that Buckley recorded on the eve of this tour but decided not to release.

Together, these glimpses offer a portrait of a young man whose voice and musicianship, as well as his irresistible charisma and the trauma of his early death, touched millions.

Produced by Alan Hall.
A Falling Tree production for BBC Radio 4

Notes:
The download includes the documentary plus the two complete GLR session tracks and an interview thought to be a promo to accompany Sin-é, but was never released. The last two tracks are from the Mark Radcliffe session. I remastered these two tracks originally for the "Asking To Stay" bootleg but didn't use them so I thought I would make them available here.

Tracklist:
01 - The Grace Of Jeff Buckley (Documentary)
02 - Grace (GLR Radio Session 17.03.94)
03 - Lover, You Should've Come Over (GLR Radio Session 17.03.94)
04 - Interview (Unreleased Promo)
05 - Grace (Mark Radcliffe Session 22.08.94)
06 - So Real (Mark Radcliffe Session 22.08.94)

Jeff Buckley: The Roskilde Festival '95

TREON021

UPDATE: An all new remastered version has now been added to the blog:

https://blonderazorblade.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/jeff-buckley-live-at-roskilde-festival.html

Jeff Buckley live at the Roskilde Festival (30/06/95). This excellent performance has been edited together from three different sources for the best possible quality. All sources originate from a soundboard recording.

Notes: 
 After downloading what I thought was Jeff Buckley live at Nighttown, in Rotterdam I quickly discovered what I had was tracks from a bootleg called "Son Of The Starsailor", a mixture of live tracks from three different performances. To my dismay the excellent version of "Hallelujah" (from the Roskilde Festival) broke up near the end so I set out to find it in complete form, and if possible the complete concert.

After a long search and many dead links I found a FLAC download of an FM broadcast. The sound quality was very good but there was a catch. The radio station ID would callout 3 or 4 times throughout the performance including right in the middle of "Hallelujah" (a travesty!). I archived the download and left it at that. That was until earlier this month when I was able to get my hands on 6 of the 12 tracks as an mp3 download from an alternative soundboard source and in a greater slice of luck I was able to purchase a physical copy of the bootleg "Son Of The Starsailor" containing a further 3 tracks from the performance! So I used all three sources to reconstruct the whole performance with all the station ID's removed. This is the result....

Tracklist:

01. So Real

02. Dream Brother

03. Eternal Life

04. Kick Out The Jams

05. Last Goodbye

06. What Will You Say

07. Lilac Wine

08. Mojo Pin

09. Grace

10. Vancouver

The Beatles: End Of The Road (The Complete Rooftop Concert '69)

TREON017

End Of The Road is a silverpressed bootleg of The Beatles final live performance on the roof of the Apple Studios building, Savile Row, London (30/01/69) plus outtakes from the Let It Be recording sessions.

CD Booklet Notes :

 The Beatles were going to make a documentary film of themselves producing a TV show and writing a bunch of new songs for their next album, which was to be a return to their roots of the rocking days. This was probably inspired by the emergence of The Band, straightforward, downhome and everyone's favourite name to drop at the time.

 With a working title of "Get Back" rehearsals began at Twickenham studios on January the 2nd, 1969. The project quickly ran into trouble, George Harrison walked out after eight days complaining of continual criticism from Paul McCartney. However, he returned a week later. The TV show idea had to be dumped because they couldn't find a suitable location. They thought about hiring an ocean liner, but somewhere along the line that idea was also shelved, along with a number of other exotic suggestions. But it was John Lennon's suggestion to record a selection of songs in the controlled atmosphere of a studio.

At this time, plans were made to turn the roof at No 3 Saville Row, the Apple Corps HQ, into a tranquil roof garden, and so Ringo Starr and Michael Lindsay-Hogg decided to take a look. It seemed ideal for what they had in mind.

 The Beatles last ever public concert took place around mid-day on Thursday January the 30th and lasted a full 42 minutes, and may well have gone on longer had it not been for the complaints of the neighbour, Stanley Davis. The wool merchant next door was not a Beatles fan so it seemed. He was quoted as saying "I want this bloody noise stopped. It's an absolute disgrace". But the banker, Alan Pulverness, at the end of the street was kinder, he said "Some people just can't appreciate good music".

The film won an Oscar for best musical score and it was presented to Paul McCartney by non-other than John Wayne, Big Leggy. But by the time it was premiered on May the 13th, 1970, The Beatles had split. The dream was over..."I'd like to say 'Thankyou' on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we passed the audition".
