-one of my rare all time favorites from my archives - only GVTC I've ever found it came in a cassette trade years ago just labelled 197?, Notts Boat Club.
I did research and found where this Club was located - a yacht club actually on the seaside that apparently did host a series of rock concerts in the mid-
70's. I could not find any reference to this show anywhere, so still no luck on exact date, but my best guess is from 1973-76. If anyone can confirm a more
exact date, please let me know!
-GVTC was an infamous "commune" band that made some psychedelic prog rock kind of reminiscent of Caravan meets SF Bay sound from late 60's/early 70's music.
Their lyrics can be laughingly flower child innocent at times and the vocals off key, but they play well together. Although they do many pop-type short
songs, they also go into some jammed out prog/psych rock forays and some great old hippie anthems. They helped spawn many other bands including Man.
-this is definitely a soundboard with tape flips here and there including the one in my cassette that divides "Singing Just for You" into 2 tracks. It's
likely in 3rd/4th gen range, so sound is flattened a bit - I'd give it an "A-/B+"
-starts off with lots of shorter cuts and then a real long "Singing Just for You" almost early Moody Blues like really. "Last Train" really gets exploratory
musically too and then comes their most famous tune the anthem "Smiling Revolution" - after 2 more of their hippie anthems for encores they do a short
funny version of "God save the Queen" a cappella followed by a rollickingly hilarious "Seaside" a cappella also, no doubt giving a nod to where they were
playing. This is an all time classic/historic document - highly recommended if you have any interest in these guys!
-if anyone can share any more info on this show or the series at the club, please do. If you are sitting on any GVTC please please please seed it up!!!
