West Germany (the country) aka 'FRG' or Federal Republic of Germany (before October 3, 1990...)

"SOLINGEN - Rock & BLUES City No. 1"

Solingen is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is located on the
northern edge of the region called Bergisches Land, south of the Ruhr area,
and with a 2005 population of 162,685 is the second largest city in the
Bergisches Land. It is a member of the regional authority of the Rhineland.

Solingen is called the "City of Blades", since it has long been renowned for
the manufacturing of fine swords, knives, scissors and razors made by famous
firms such as DOVO Solingen, W�sthof, J. A. Henckels, Boker, and numerous
other manufacturers. Wilkinson is also based here.

In Medieval times, the swordsmiths of Solingen coined the town's image, which
is preserved to this date. Some 90% of German knives are produced in Solingen.

> self customised studio PC, Motherboard with new watercooled AMD Phenom� II X6
six-core processor 1090T, clock speed 3,2 GHz, Serial ATA Interface >

MBIT+: This is a proprietary iZotope word length reduction technology that reduces
quantization distortion with minimal perceived noise. While this might sound like
a paradox, MBIT+ is a very smooth, quiet and almost "analog sounding" technology.

CHECK OZONE & TEST/COMPARE IT WITH THE REAL TRUE
QUALITY OF YOUR OWN SRC (sample rate converter):
http://src.infinitewave.ca/



NO additional EQ'ing was used here, and none of those compressors,
Sonic Maximizer or other psychoacoustic processors - it's stunning enough...

I balanced just the stereo channels a tad - leaving the rest untouched.
The only further addition was a short fade-in @ the beginning and another
short fade-out @ the end, so truly NO MUSIC was harmed or lost.




THE SOUND HERE ?

It's a deafmusic concert mix/recording/transfer & lonetaper mastering - 'NUFF SAID !

or, as our buddy "realomind" usually claims:

"It ain't perfect, but it ain't bad"


if you're still beset BY DOUBTS,
please check the sample...or better:

LEAVE IT, GRAB SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT !!




***********************************************************************************************

I call this a mandatory download for everybody interested in Blues Music.

Followed this friendly British gentleman since the late 60ies - it was
damned hard to get John Dummer Blues Band vinyl over here for decent prices...

Becoming a friend and finally meeting my buddy deafmusic way over 30 years
ago was for me like a kid in a candyshop...and NOW YOU have the chance
to hear all these (most of them COMPLETELY UNTRADED) sweeties & treasures
he collected as fan, promoter & mixing desk wizard for over 40 years...

Actually there are over 30 Dave Kelly solo & band, PLUS a few Blues Band concerts
out of the "deafmusic archives" transferred, and if there are enough downloads
AND nice comments, you'll get the opportunity to hear the complete awesome story
of Dave's shortest German concert (ever?) and how this led to "The Duisburg Blues"...
- Leo



HOW IT ALL HAPPENED (or: what i remember today...)
==================================================

I had done sound for quite a number of gigs for my friend promoter WP aka 'Howlin' Wolfgang'
aka Dr. Winston O'Boogie from the mid-eighties on. He specialised in British blues players
and has a profound knowledge about that scene.

In the summer of '86 he decided to bring Dave Kelly over.
DK (decay...) as his friends may call him was already extremely successful with THE BLUES BAND
and besides had his own, rather country- and singer-songwriter flavoured project THE DAVE KELLY BAND.
Dave Kelly was the first 'bigger' blues act from the UK that we dealt with and we met him with
great respect. It turned out he is a really nice guy who is professional enough to have certain
things his way and not discuss them; that settled we had a really great time every month of May
for the next six or seven years.
DK loved these gigs because he would always stay in the same hotel, in the same room.
In the afternoon we would drive to these little club gigs that Howlin' Wolfgang had arranged,
him, DK, me and all the guitars and a little sound system all cramped into Howlin' Wolfgang's
old Mercedes.
DK used to bring his books over to work on his tax declaration during the daytime, Wolfgang had
his job in Mettmann and I was going to school in the daytime, and in the evening we'd go out to
enjoy some rootsy Blues and Rock'n'Roll.
In the nineties, these gigs thinned out due to higher demand of The Blues Band and lesser demand
from German folkclubs and concert venues.
Although DK would often play it safe and stick to more or less the same setlist, he'd surprise us
every once in a while with some one-off jewels. When asked why he would not go for more variation
in his shows, he'd tell us that most people would only come to one gig, and it was his duty as a
professional performer to make people happy every night; playing more variations would mean playing
more songs that applied only to specialists and hardcore fans, but would be considered filler by
the average concertgoer... Well, as I say, he's a pro and he's damn right here.

These tapes bring back alot of happy and fond memories.

DE FACTO THIS IS FROM - deafmusic - ANOTHER PRICELESS "TAUBMUSIC" MASTERPIECE...


Leo once wrote:
VERY SPECIAL THANKS, from the bottom of my heart, to my longtime
friend & fellow DIMEr deafmusic for opening his incredible archive.
Parts of the "Deafmusic Collection" are also in the "MWM"-vaults, as we
did not only trade with each other for 30+ years, we also viewed and
recorded a bunch of shows together, as friends, music fans and concert
promoters, usually with a bunch of Tascams and Sony's in a row...

BIG BIG THANKS TO everyone else involved in all them recordings
i know i missed some, but i'm getting old, mind fading :-(

Big thanks to my wife, Mrs. Leo, for supporting
and taking an active part in all my crazyness...

No animals were harmed in the making of this
recording or during the mastering and transfer.

Dave Kelly
==========

If there is such a thing as a British 'blues pedigree', then Dave Kelly's sets the standard.
Kelly is a blues craftsman - a journeyman who has served his time with the best.

In New York he jammed with Muddy Waters. He became a friend to Howlin' Wolf and John Lee Hooker,
who both felt the benefit of Dave's playing in their touring bands. It was Dave's big sister,
the late Jo-Ann Kelly, who first opened his ears to the blues, although his passion for rock and
roll - and especially the work of Buddy Holly - remains intact.
In 1967 he joined The John Dummer Blues Band. After three albums and a solo project he continued
to polish his style and technique throughout an adventurous career with some of Britain's finest
players. When The Blues Band was formed in 1979, the post of slide guitarist and joint vocalist
was a foregone conclusion - and bringing his friend, the bassist Gary Fletcher, along to that
first rehearsal, was a bonus. Dave Kelly's guitar and vocals form the very backbone of
The Blues Band's distinctive sound.

Today, after 21 years 'treading the boards' with the band, with his solo albums, duo tours
with Paul Jones, and soundtrack work (for commercials and such projects as BBC TV's 'King
of the Ghetto' and the Comic Strip's 'Strike!') Dave Kelly is firmly estabished as Europe's
premier blues performer.




And if there's some interest, maybe there is MORE TO COME...
it just depends on YOUR demeanor, and lotta useful comments ;-)
