 <br>
 <br>Another recording directly from the "Men With Microphones" archive.
 <br>"MWM" started in the 70ies in South Germany with analog recording equipment,
 <br>and at least two of them are still recording sometimes (since the 90ies on DAT).

 <br>
 <br>
 <br>Eric Andersen
 <br>
 <br>Born in Pittsburgh, Andersen belonged in the early sixties together with Phil Ochs
 <br>and Bob Dylan to the Greenwich Village folkscene in New York. His best-known songs from
 <br>that time are “Violets of Dawn,” “Come to My Bedside” and “Thirsty Boots” (the latter
 <br>was recorded by Judy Collins and several others).
 <br>
 <br>In 1966, he made his debut at the Newport Folk Festival and that same year he starred
 <br>in the Andy Warhol movie Space.
 <br>
 <br>In 1970 he took part in the Festival Express tour across Canada with the Grateful Dead,
 <br>Janis Joplin, The Band and others.
 <br>
 <br>In 1972 he issued his most successful (and sold) album Blue River. The tapes of his
 <br>follow-up album Stages got lost, but were found more than a decade later and issued
 <br>in 1991 as Stages: The Lost Album.
 <br>
 <br>In 1975 he performed at the opening show of the Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue, at
 <br>Gerde's Folk City in New York, and again in Niagara Falls. After several albums
 <br>(country/rock/folk), he issued Ghosts Upon the Road a highly recognized album in 1988.
 <br>
 <br>In the early 1990s he formed the trio Danko/Fjeld/Andersen together with Rick Danko
 <br>(The Band) and Jonas Fjeld and three albums were released. It lasted nine years before the
 <br>next solo album Memory Of The Future (1998) was issued.
 <br>
 <br>In his 40-year career he has issued more than 20 albums to which many artists have
 <br>contributed e.g. Joan Baez, Dan Fogelberg, Al Kooper, Joni Mitchell, Leon Russell,
 <br>Richard Thompson, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Eric Bazilian, Tony Garnier, Howie Epstein
 <br>and many others.
 <br>His songs have been recorded by artists all over the world, including The Blues Project,
 <br>Johnny Cash, Judy Collins, John Denver, Fairport Convention, Grateful Dead, Peter, Paul & Mary,
 <br>Ricky Nelson, Ratdog (Bob Weir), Linda Ronstadt and Pete Seeger.
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>Common Knowledge so far, i hope.

 <br>
 <br>
 <br>Here comes "our" Eric Andersen story:
 <br>
 <br>It started with our friend Wolfi. If you live in the northern part of Germany, it's A MUST
 <br>to visit his concert-venue "Musicstar" in Norderstedt, north of Hamburg, minimum once in
 <br>your lifetime. There is a fine Recordstore too and if you are into Mac-computers, he's the
 <br>local provider at Marketplace 11. This was the promotional part of this torrent ;-)
 <br>
 <br>Autumn 1995 Wolfi was in northern Italy to bring a Mac to a friend when he saw posters of
 <br>this concert here. He took his portable DAT, and after the concert they took Eric to a
 <br>friend's flat nearby, served food and Grappa, and talked the whole night through.
 <br>Eric played a few songs for them in the living room, one of them was the only known
 <br>live performance of "For What Was Gained"...but this is definitely NOT DIMEable...
 <br>
 <br>Wolfi came back with this beautiful recording and the astonishing news
 <br>that Eric had NEVER played Germany in his whole life - so far...
 <br>
 <br>Two years later we organised his first german tour,
 <br>with concerts from Bavaria to Hamburg,
 <br>and Wolfi helped Eric to get his "Memory of the Future"-CD
 <br>released by Normal Records in 1999.
 <br>
