boombox's notes may 2015:
As the lights came up in the hall, a friend of mine called this "The Gig of the Year" and I agree it will be hard to top. Opening up had been San Diego's The Loons, fronted by Mike Stax of the Ugly Things magazine, as fine a garage band as you will ever see now, or in any decade. Next up was the legendary Peter Daltrey's Kaleidoscope, possibly the greatest English psychedelic band who should have been huge, but inexplicably are limited to cult status. Backed by Trembling Bells and with original drummer Dan Bridgman on percussion and later drums, we were treated to a set of Kaleidoscope and Fairfield Parlour masterpieces which left us all wanting more and hoping Peter will do it all again soon. Last up was The Loons again, but this time serving as backing band for Glenn Ross Campbell, whose Misunderstood fell foul of the draft, Glenn going on to form Juicy Lucy with Ray Owen. As well as The Misunderstood songs, tracks 4 and 7 actually come from a Loons album on which Glenn played. As a bonus, Ray joined Glenn once more for 'Who Do You Love?', with The Misunderstood's rhythm guitarist, Tony Hill, also joining in the fun.
But now the bad news: I recorded both The Loons and Kaleidoscope, after which I changed all batteries and memory cards to make sure I got everything... but I didn't. Midway through 'Children Of The Sun', I realised my recorder had stopped. I restarted and got a card full error. "I couldn't have blanked the card," I thought, so did so, thinking I could patch the few missing seconds with my video recording audio. Getting back to the car, heartbreak: I found, inexplicably, I had failed to change my Edirol memory card, so had erased both the first two sets and the start of the final set. Ironically, had I put the 8GB card in and not changed it, I would have had everything, but somehow I'd put a 4GB card in. As a result, the first two songs have had to be patched in from a lossy camera audio source. Halfway through the second track, quality diminishes slightly as I had to lower the camera to sort the audio recorder, but at least you get the whole set, and when I get time, I do have video of four Loons tracks, nearly all of Kaleidoscope and all of The Misunderstood.
