It's a Fool's World with
the Fools

WBCN-FM studios
(on "Duane Glasscock" show)
Boston, Mass.
March 31, 1989
(recording quality: A)
total runtime for both sets: 87:29

runtime: 21:01 (I don't know if I got all of this one but I think I did. On at 6 AM.)
setlist: Note, there were some studio cuts played during this "Duane Glasscock" show (between live songs)
For the sake of copyright compliance, ALL those tracks have been carefully edited out of here
this does not hurt the contuinuity (?) of this live set, or I probably wouldn't post it at all
(Duane took care of that responsibility here all by himself, not me, dime, or copyright laws)
because I hate chopped liver uploads (and/or posting released tracks unknowingly, just as much)
this does include all the live music played, some of it dittling around behind DJ babbling.
I did leave those tracks in here, if you wish not to save them for your posterior (ity) that
is your cerebral maneuver to make and yours alone. (do I care if you edit out track (s) or not
and repost later? in most of my posts I prefer not, but not really, frankly, in this case).
1: whole lotta love
2: talk (talch, I'd call it, "Duane" has a rather
twisted/Bostonized sense of humor and that may be putting it kindly at times.
other times, Duane can be quite the funnybone tickler.)
3: bite it (this was a big hit of theirs in Boston, it's about food)
4: Joe Perry promo for Duane's show (just a few seconds)
5: more talk and silliness
6: Bigfoot stole my wife
7: closing credits with sortakinda live playover

source: master FM broadcast tapes
performance quality: I'll leave that for you to decide.
Pretty good, actually, but this isn't a John McLaughlin concert here.
recording quality: A
lineage: WBCN 104.1 FM radio >
Yamaha 500 reciever >
Naka. BX- 100 cassette deck (dolby off) >
Maxell XLII-S cassette >
soundforge 4.5 > FLAC > torrentially yours.
this is a TRUE 3 step torrent.
(because it was a live in studio broadcast, not recorded live.)

AndAndAndAndAnd!!!!! (maybe I'm stretching it here, that's exactly what I'm trying to do to a really short set)

Sir Morgan's Cove
(it's now known as the Lucky Dog Music Hall)
Worcester, Mass. U.S.A.
May 9, 1985
performance quality: B+ (maybe better, tight and rather humorous too)
recording quality: A- (recording is pretty good, broadcast has some minor problems in a couple of brief parts,
occasionally you hear a noise, not alot and nothing really loud, but it's in the broadcast, not recording (I believe).
(also a power interruption in broadcast during track 8 of the show, not too much missed there) most is good sound.
runtime: 66:21

setlist:
1: radio announcers
2: spent the rent / night out
3: a night for beautiful girls
4: world dance party
5: bite it
6: I don't wanna grow up
7: I rock, therefore I am
8: doo wah diddy (power problem in broadcast)
9: life sucks and then you die (maybe their biggest hit ever, which may not be saying much)
10: all day and all night (tape flip, spliced, go home)
11: go home
12: 1st encore psycho chicken (T. Heads satire)
13: big, big, big

comments:
I had a request recently for some local Boston music. I don't have alot of that, there has been some
and there will be some more, some depending on whether artists are agreeable since they are recordings
made with their authority. Generally something given authority for FM broadcasting is fair game for posting,
often I think a good post option, because it's probably not Jeff Beck or Robert Plant (in popularity terms)
and a band who could benefit from a torrenting. This is likely the case for many bands I've seen posted here
that are not as familiar as the Rolling Stones or Elvis (Costello or Presley), and allowed me to bring you
some bands that turned out to be alot bigger than I had any idea they are. (like Baby Grand, from this same
city and also thanks to WAAF radio in Worcester, certainly "the only station (in Worc.) that really rocks")
I have only seen a couple of exceptions to this rule, when an artist felt it was bad performance or the
sound was poor, in one case I recorded a Dirt Merchants show only to find out during FM broadcast, where
did the vocals go? I thought I had made a nice Dirt Merchants sbd tape in 93, they are a good local band
of this area, but I couldn't post a Dirt Mercants bassist and drummer only broadcast. They never asked me
to broadcast or not, nor did they know of this problem, and it was quite embarassing. The vocals are in
there, just barely, so quiet I can't hear the words at all. Only once has an artist ever asked me not to
broadcast a recording after allowing me to record one for a non-technical problem issue reason-
Steve Tibbetts initially did not want me to broadcast my recording of Worcester 92 show, but he would later
(without pressuring) rescind that restriction himself and allow me to circulate his recording. (well before
zombiwoof posted it, his post was with my request and authorization cleared to circulate the recording.)
this is the legendary Boston band of idiots that bring you here some of their smash (ed) hits
including Whole Lotta Love (LZ as influenced by the Cowboy Junkies who were just getting popular in
Boston this year) Bite it (we're talkin' about food here), life sucks and then you die (a Boston
anthem of growing up in the Reaganera), and a couple of local satire classics for encores in Worcester,
Psycho Chicken and Big, Big, Big. (this does not sound like it's meant as an offense to heavy people
at all, maybe even about an attraction to a particular person (s) of rather hefty poundage?)
I had to leave the "interview with Salmon Rushdie" (not really) part out because it included at
least part of the studio track One night in Bangkok and I know that's not kosher on dime even if
it's with Muslimlike (sort of) conversation before it. (I didn't hear any live playing in that part
at all so no great loss there) part of it is quite tortured too so I'm sortakinda sorry I had to cut
that out, it is kind of funny, and so are the Fools. File these guys under satire rock or silly rock
or humor music, but that's another category dime doesn't have in here. Could somebody please fix that?
(we also need a "fusion" category for dime.) Given the world conndition and time of year, humor can be
the only alternative to insanity for some of us (a preferable one too for sure!).
When I'm finished here dime's gonna need about 10 new categories for music. Although "club rock"
definitely does fit these guys. the studio set has alot less live music than I thought it had
so I'm lumping it up like 19 year old coffee with a 1985 club gig. (just so it will fit the category.)
I'm not sure if the Glasscock one is complete, Duane is an early riser, I'm more like a Keith Richards
riser, never been a big fan of early morning, but I got this thing, maybe complete? if anything Duane
Glasscock can ever be complete. He may wanna join this band. Might be a good fit. The Worcester set is
complete except a quick tape flipover in All day and all night, you may not even notice that splice
(that's the intended idea). I don't expect this to be my most popular post ever (and that's fine,
Obama's running for President, not me) but I think some folks will get a kick out of this one. Hope so.
I KNOW I had a 4/1/79 Fools show (Paradise?) FM broadcast of excellent quality and I gave it to someone
which I now realize was really stupid of me, since it was a clean complete recording much like the SMC
one here is, even better because it was a WBCN broadcast. I have looked around for it but haven't seen it
in at least 20 years. What goes around did come around sortakinda here, since a different person for unrelated
reason gave me his prime Stonetiger master tape a few years later, because he didn't like Percy Jones.
(apparently. loose screw?). whatever the reason I ain't complaining a bit.
if I can find out the date of it I'm posting that thing like a jet plane. (early 83? MFP, Roslyn, N.Y.)
If you don't like Percy so much why you like Brand X so much, dude? makes no sense to me at all...
Percy IS Brand X!!!
DANG if I know who I gave it to (I know it wasn't stolen, I gave it to somebody voluntarily)... I didn't
give a sh*t about this band in 1979. But I'm certain I didn't erase the tape. I almost never do that with
a master because I know someone else might really want to hear it. (unless there's a known upgrade around of it)

Do not sell these recordings.
If you would, you are REALLY a fool.
Most people think this band is just a day of the year.
Some may wish they were, and for many that's all they will ever be. (if that)
Trade freely, losslessly, gaplessly and not (too) foolishly.
