Taper's Comments:
1 - HELP!! If you have any uncirculated SPIRIT shows, or better quality FM
broadcasts than what's been posted here before, please share them. If you
know anybody who has shows that fit this category that aren't on DIME, please
dub off their stuff and share it. I'm trying to write a book on SPIRIT and need
all the information I can get. I have a database of over 1500 gigs 1967-1996, and
want to find as much information as I can to add to it. If you have any memories
of where you saw SPIRIT, the more specific the better (venue, city, date, supporting
bands, etc.), I'd love to know that as well. Please leave that in the comments
section or PM me. Thank you!
2 - Show description & comments follow:
"Painter's Mill Star Theatre" was in the Baltimore suburbs. It was one of those theatre in
the round joints, that had a rotating stage in the middle, although it never rotated for any
of the shows I saw there. Being stationary likely made 20% - 25% of the seats unusable,
as they would have been behind the stage, and the view obstructed. It had previously
been known as "Painter's Mill Music Fair". I guess it held maybe a couple thousand folks.
It burned to the ground years later. It was rumored that it had been torched for the
insurance.
This was sadly the last time I ever saw Muddy Waters. His entire band had quit due a
disagreement with his management, and had gone out on their own as THE LEGENDARY
BLUES BAND. Muddy hired a new band, and hit the road for his final tours in 1981 to
support the release of the last album in his lifetime, "King Bee". He never toured after
1981, and died from cardiac arrest on April 30, 1983. While I liked the old band better,
these guys were no slouches by any means! The show was longer than any I saw
previously, likely because Muddy wasn't in a club situation, and only had the one show
to perform that night. An added bonus is the appearance of opening act THE NIGHTHAWKS,
who were good friends with Muddy. I edited out several seconds of applause at the end so
this would fit on one CD. Enjoy!
