John Cale
The Palladium, NYC
1976-12-31

This is the legendary New Year's Eve show at the Palladium, headlined by the Patti Smith Group,
with Television and John Cale opening. Silent film from (backstage) this night was featured in the Amos Poe
documentary "The Blank Generation." The Television and Cale sets are both previously uncirculated and taken
from the master cassette.

I have included some ephemera in the form of .jpegs, which help document this night (Rock Scene coverage,
ticket stub, flier, et al). Thanks to Vineland for sharing these.

Audience master cassette > HD > Sound Forge (indexing) > Flac frontend (level 6).

Unfortunately, this show was overdubbed on a previously recorded tape...so tape hiss is evident. Also, I
believe the taper was trying to conserve space on his C90 cassette, and paused the recording between songs
during the Cale set; most of the songs cut in. This recording runs about 30 minutes; whether it is the complete
set, I can't say. I have inquired of several Cale collectors but have not found a more complete (or any other)
recording of Cale this date. If anyone has a more complete or better-sounding recording, do share.
