ERIC ANDERSEN - September 15, 1972 - Early Show - Jabberwocky Folk Club, Syracuse, NY, USA
** from SOUNDBOARD master, MWM 0072 **
>> WLIR pre-FM, GOT THIS FROM ERIC PERSONALLY - UNTRADED SO FAR << with mp3's
THIS ONE HERE IS ESPECIALLY FOR Dave T. (davmar77)...please check with your tape...
And big big thanks to Jos (songhunter) & everyone involved "IN THE WOODS",
and to eric78 plus all the "Acoustic In Paris"-posse (hi to Herve...)
for upping some of Eric's concerts during the last 6 months...
Not to forget Sylvia & rioblanco (my sister & brother in music...),
randall, oldlper, slugline and all the true and devoted fans of Eric...
This recording here comes directly from the "Men With Microphones" archive.
"MWM" started in the 70ies in South Germany with analog recording equipment,
and at least two of them are still recording sometimes (since the 90ies on DAT,
and, lazy as we are, since lately with small, handheld WAV-recorders on SD-cards).
The "MWM" startet as a project of friends sharing their hobbies together. But by
reason of jobs, partners and other interests the circle of all involved shrinked.
BIOGRAPHY:
Eric Andersen
Born in Pittsburgh, Andersen belonged in the early sixties together with Phil Ochs
and Bob Dylan to the Greenwich Village folkscene in New York. His best-known songs from
that time are “Violets of Dawn,” “Come to My Bedside” and “Thirsty Boots” (the latter
was recorded by Judy Collins and several others).
In 1966, he made his debut at the Newport Folk Festival and that same year he starred
in the Andy Warhol movie Space.
In 1970 he took part in the Festival Express tour across Canada with the Grateful Dead,
Janis Joplin, The Band and others.
In 1972 he issued his most successful (and sold) album Blue River. The tapes of his
follow-up album Stages got lost, but were found more than a decade later and issued
in 1991 as Stages: The Lost Album.
In 1975 he performed at the opening show of the Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue, at
Gerde's Folk City in New York, and again in Niagara Falls. After several albums
(country/rock/folk), he issued Ghosts Upon the Road a highly recognized album in 1988.
In the early 1990s he formed the trio Danko/Fjeld/Andersen together with Rick Danko
(The Band) and Jonas Fjeld and three albums were released. It lasted nine years before the
next solo album Memory Of The Future (1998) was issued.
In his 40-year career he has issued more than 20 albums to which many artists have
contributed e.g. Joan Baez, Dan Fogelberg, Al Kooper, Joni Mitchell, Leon Russell,
Richard Thompson, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Eric Bazilian, Tony Garnier, Howie Epstein
and many others.
His songs have been recorded by artists all over the world, including The Blues Project,
Johnny Cash, Judy Collins, John Denver, Fairport Convention, Grateful Dead, Peter, Paul & Mary,
Ricky Nelson, Ratdog (Bob Weir), Linda Ronstadt and Pete Seeger.
Common Knowledge so far, i hope.
About this concert:
Last October i uploaded an Eric Andersen show from
Auditorium Roen, Bolzano, Italy, October 24, 1995.
It started with our friend Wolfi. If you live in the northern part of Germany, it's A MUST
to visit his concert-venue "Musicstar" in Norderstedt, north of Hamburg, minimum once in
your lifetime. There is a fine Recordstore too and if you are into Mac-computers, he's the
local provider at Marketplace 11. This was the promotional part of this torrent ;-)
Autumn 1995 Wolfi was in northern Italy to bring a Mac to a friend when he saw posters of
an EA concert @ Auditorium Roen. He took his portable DAT, and after the concert they took
Eric to a friend's flat nearby, served food and Grappa, and talked the whole night through.
Eric played a few songs for them in the living room, one of them was the only known
live performance of "For What Was Gained"...but this one is definitely NOT DIMEable...
Wolfi came back with a beautiful recording and the astonishing news
that Eric had NEVER played Germany in his whole life - so far...
Two years later we organised his first german tour,
with concerts from Bavaria to Hamburg,
and Wolfi helped Eric to get his "Memory of the Future"-CD
released by Normal Records in 1999.
So Eric was in the late 90ies quite often as a guest and as a musician
in Norderstedt, and sometimes he brought a few cassettes and DATs with him.
THIS ONE HERE IS ONE OF THEM.
A good old compact-cassette, labelled "WLIR-FM, pre-FM, early show"
and Eric told us he was unable to find the late show at the moment...
At the end, as "filler" on the cassette was just the introduction of the late show.
We transferred it carefully to DAT: Nakamichi w/ playback head azimuth aligned to Tascam,
and as there was nearly no tape-noise on the cassette, we tend to believe him the lineage:
he received it directly from the radio-station, SBD > multitrack-master > this cassette(s)
Extensive research brought up a couple of traders/collectors
with copies from this show, here's an example:

BUT CHECKING ERIC'S AND "OUR" EARLY SHOW, WE THINK
THAT THOSE ONES HAVE A WRONG RUNNING ORDER OF BOTH SHOWS.
Are they from the radio-broadcast at a later date ?
Maybe somebody can shed some light on these facts and circumstances...
In the meantime:
ENJOY THIS ONE HERE....absolutely unaltered from the master...and UNTRADED.
