This recording here comes directly from the "Men With Microphones" archive.
"MWM" started in the 70ies in South Germany with analog recording equipment,
and at least two of them are still recording sometimes (since the 90ies on DAT,
and, lazy as we are, since lately with small, handheld WAV-recorders on SD-cards).
The "MWM" startet as a project of friends sharing their hobbies together. But by
reason of jobs, partners and other interests the circle of all involved shrinked.

Sid & Pat - October 22, 1997 - LGB Zwischennutz, Nuremberg, Germany
About this concert:
One of our alltime greatest CD's, a record for both, making love and taking it with you
to the well known "desert island" (just to listen it there and make love again...lol),
was the 1997 release of our friend Sid Griffin, the longplayer "LITTLE VICTORIES".
This was Sid's long awaited first solo album. A largely acoustic country-folk affair,
the core band of the recording features Sid with legendary guitarist Wes McGhee with
contributions from the other Coal Porters and his wife (back then) Kate St John.
Special guests include Billy Bragg, who duets with Sid on a previously unreleased
Phil Ochs song, "Sailors And Soldiers", and Steve Wynn who co-wrote and duets with
Sid on "The Rate Of Exchange". To promote this album, Mr. Griffin did some heavy touring ...
During an European Tour in October 1997, sharing the bill together with Bob Neuwirth,
our hero "Sid The Sqid" played as some kind of support act together with his partner in
crime, bass player, song co-author, friend and "Coal Porters" bandmember Pat McGarvey.
And sometimes with other famous, wellknown, mostly German musicians...on stage always
impersonated by the very same and absolutely fantastic & funny Mr. Hair Gel Pat...
And later they joined Bob onstage, sharing a couple of songs, an incredible collaboration !
THIS CONCERT HERE IS ONE OF THOSE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN MOMENTS...PURE MAGIC...
It's untraded (at least by me...) and unaltered so far - please enjoy !
And if you ever have the chance to see Sid
or Pat, or both, or the Coal Porters, Western Union
or the Long Ryders performing live in concert...
SLAUGHTER YOUR STOCKS,
SELL YOUR HOUSE,
TAKE YOUR CAR,
GRAB YOUR LOVER...
AND GO THERE !!!
SEE THEM !!!
WATCH THEM !!!
TALK TO THEM....
BUY ALL AVAILABLE MERCHANDISE STUFF...
AND RECORD THEIR SHOW !!!
