A personal message from Paul on the recent passing of the musician Tony Sheridan:

"Tony was a good guy who we knew and worked with from the early days in Hamburg.
We regularly watched his late night performances and admired his style.
He will be missed."

Mettmann (population ~40.000) is a Rhenish town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
It is the administrative centre of the district of Mettmann, Germany's most densely

"Muckefuck" aka "Malzkaffee": coffee substitute - non-coffee products, usually without
caffeine, that are used to imitate coffee. Coffee substitutes can be used for medical,
economic and religious reasons, or simply because coffee is not readily available.
Roasted grain beverages are common substitutes for coffee.

a paradox, MBIT+ is a very smooth, quiet and almost "analog sounding" technology.

CHECK OZONE & TEST/COMPARE IT WITH THE REAL TRUE

NO additional EQ'ing was used here, and none of those compressors,
Sonic Maximizer or other psychoacoustic processors - it's stunning enough...

I balanced just the stereo channels a tad - leaving the rest untouched.
The only further addition was a short fade-in @ the beginning and another
short fade-out @ the end of each set, so truly NO MUSIC was harmed or lost.

It's a deafmusic concert mix/recording/transfer & lonetaper mastering - 'NUFF SAID !

or, as our buddy "realomind" usually claims:

"It ain't perfect, but it ain't bad"


if you're still beset BY DOUBTS,
please check the sample...or better:

LEAVE IT, GRAB SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT !!




***********************************************************************************************

I call this a mandatory download for everybody interested in Music history.
===========================================================================


...as the story of Tony Sheridan (...and The Beatles) is well-known and -reported, we'd
like to shed some light on a period that is not very well covered (even NOT in Tony's
own biography: "The Wuppertal Years...or more general: The second half of the 1980s"


With his fifth wife, a young student of Arts & German philology he met in Recklinghausen,
they moved 1986 together - for the next three years - to Wuppertal in a flat at "Stra�e
Am Unterbarmer Friedhof". Tony recovered an old German friend & musician he had met and
played with in the 60s @ Hamburger Reeperbahn, running the well-known music store called
"Music Studio Ronsdorf" in Wuppertal-Ronsdorf during the 1980s. Hamburg born Georg Grimm
started early 1960s with his Wuppertal based band "The Fenders" and became kind of famous
as "George Guild" with "The Silver Strings" - the "German Beatles", around 1964-66...

Tony and Georg formed then, together with local befriended drummer and guitar player, the
"Tony Sheridan Band" - rehearsing and playing live quite regularely together. They also
gave some concerts and TV-shows, mainly in Germany, but also in other European countries,
highlights had been the tours in the German Democratic Republic (1986 to 1988), some of
the concerts there as support act for Wishbone Ash (and according to GG they kicked their
asses...). Our friend deafmusic mixed (and recorded) some bandshows they gave around their
homebase (as well as some Tony Sheridan solo-gigs...), all these recordings show not just
Tony's skills as performer and singer (of an incredible variety of Blues, Rock'n'Roll,
Rock- and Beatsongs), they give you also an imagination of "Tony the guitar slinger" - he
played a mean guitar (So welcome to the machine...) - HERE IS THE FIRST ONE....ENJOY !!
- Leo



HOW IT ALL HAPPENED (or: what i remember today...)
==================================================

I had done sound for quite a number of gigs for my friend promoter
WP from the mid-eighties on. He specialised in British blues players
and has a profound knowledge about that scene.

For example,
you can find the first ever Dave Kelly
(The Blues Band) concert in Germany here:
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=440727


In those days (mid to late 80s) Tony Sheridan was living in nearby Wuppertal.
He'd do solo gigs for a rather reasonable fee, if you'd pick him up at home
and drive him back home after the gig. He always demanded 'a classy car'.

My old buddy WP aka 'Howlin' Wolfgang' aka Dr. Winston O'Boogie had booked him
for this gig into the small 'Caf� Muckefuck' - dubbed by American artist Cindy
Peress (in phonetic transcription) 'the Mackifack'.
Two days before the gig, Sheridan called to tell us that he'd all forgotten that
it was the night of his weekly rehearsal with his band from Wuppertal and that he
was willing to bring the band if Wolfgang would raise the fee.
Wolfgang declined such an offer and so Tony Sheridan brought the band anyway.

From his comments you can imagine a very well-humoured
and witty performer having a ball in such a small club.


These tapes bring back alot of happy and fond memories.

DE FACTO THIS IS FROM - deafmusic - ANOTHER PRICELESS "TAUBMUSIC" MASTERPIECE...


Leo once wrote:
VERY SPECIAL THANKS, from the bottom of my heart, to my longtime
friend & fellow DIMEr deafmusic for opening his incredible archive.
Parts of the "Deafmusic Collection" are also in the "MWM"-vaults, as we
did not only trade with each other for 30+ years, we also viewed and
recorded a bunch of shows together, as friends, music fans and concert
promoters, usually with a bunch of Tascams and Sony's in a row...

BIG BIG THANKS TO everyone else involved in all them recordings
i know i missed some, but i'm getting old, mind fading :-(

Big thanks to my wife, Mrs. Leo, for supporting
and taking an active part in all my crazyness...

No animals were harmed in the making of this
recording or during the mastering and transfer.

BUT BE WARNED:

It is confirmed that some bottles of alcohol and assorted herbs
helped the musicians to "make it through the night"...back then.

"Live music is better" feiert Geburtstag

Die Veranstaltungsreihe "Live music is better" feiert in Mettmann Geburtstag.

Seit knapp 30 Jahren organisiert Wolfgang Pieker Musikveranstaltungen in Mettmann
unter dem Motto "Live music is better", angefangen hat alles am 26. Oktober 1984.
Damals fand das erste Konzert statt, zu Gast war der englische Bottleneck-Spezialist
Mike Cooper aus Reading, seit den sp�ten 1960er Jahren einer der bekanntesten
britischen Bluesmusiker �berhaupt.

Nach einem weiteren Konzert wurde die Stadtsch�nke Ende 1984 geschlossen und
Wolfgang Pieker verlegte seine Aktivit�ten ins Caf� Muckefuck, wo es bis Mitte
1987 (teilweise w�chentlich) viele weitere Auftritte bekannter englischer und
amerikanischer Musiker gab. Hier gastierten bekannte K�nstler wie Tony Sheridan,
Jo Ann Kelly (The Queen Of The British Blues) oder Chris Jagger mit seiner Band.

Das Konzept von "Life music is better" war so erfolgreich, dass es schon bald viele
weitere Auftrittsorte wie den alte Mettmanner Bahnhof, das Stadtwaldhaus oder sp�ter
das Treff Hansa Hotel gab. Insgesamt haben seit 1984 �ber 600 Konzerte an ungef�hr
30 verschiedenen Orten in Mettmann stattgefunden. Kein Wunder, dass Wolfgang Pieker
erst vor kurzem mit der Ehrennadel der Stadt Mettmann f�r seine Verdienste um das
kulturelle Angebot in der Kreisstadt ausgezeichnet wurde - und dass all die namhaften
Musiker immer wieder gern nach Mettmann kommen, ist ihr pers�nlicher Dank an die
gro�artige Veranstaltungsreihe "Life music is better".

Tony Sheridan
=============

Singer-songwriter Tony Sheridan, an early supporter of the Beatles, has died
on Saturday February 16, 2013 in Hamburg aged 72 following a long illness.

Sheridan used the Beatles, then known as the Silver Beatles, as his back-up
band when they played in the nightclubs of Hamburg's red light district in
the 1960s before they were famous.

The Beatles, playing under another guise as "The Beat Brothers", also backed
Sheridan on his song "My Bonnie" and Sheridan last year played at the 50th
anniversary of the legendary Hamburg Star club.

A 1962 performance including Ringo Starr on the drums at the Star Club with
songs such as "Roll Over Beethoven" was a watershed performance that helped
catapult the Beatles to fame. They were Sheridan's warm-up act that night.

"Tony was a good guy who we knew and worked with from the early days in Hamburg,"
Paul McCartney said in a statement on his website. "We regularly watched his
late night performances and admired his style. He will be missed."

Tony Sheridan: Die Barmer Jahre des Beatles-Entdeckers
Was den am Samstag verstorbenen Musikpionier mit Wuppertal verbindet.

Wuppertal. Die einen feiern ihn als Entdecker und F�rderer der Beatles � f�r die anderen
ist Tony Sheridan einer von vielen Rock'n'Roll-Stars, die nach wenigen spektakul�ren Hits
in der Anonymit�t verschwanden. Eines steht jedoch ohne Zweifel fest: Wer die Entwicklung
des Rock, wer dessen Wurzeln und die Namen seiner Innovatoren gewissenhaft durchleuchtet,
der kommt an Tony Sheridan, der jetzt nach langer Krankheit 72-j�hrig in Hamburg verstarb,
nicht vorbei.

Anthony Esmond Sheridan McGinnity, so sein vollst�ndiger Name, 1940 im englischen Norwich,
geboren, wollte von fr�hester Jugend an immer nur Musik machen, seine Musik. Mit seiner
f�nften Frau, einer jungen Kunst- und Germanistikstudentin, die der S�nger und Komponist
in Recklinghausen kennen lernte, zog er 1986 in eine Wohnung an der "Stra�e Am Unterbarmer
Friedhof". Dort lebten die beiden bis 1989, dann zog es sie nach Norddeutschland � in die
N�he von Hamburg, also dorthin, wo Tony Sheridan seine gr��ten Erfolge feierte: im "Top Ten",
im legend�ren "Starclub" oder sp�ter in "Onkel P�s Carnegie Hall."

"Im 'Top Ten'," so erz�hlte er 1986 der WZ, "habe ich John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George
Harrison und deren damaligen Schlagzeuger Pete Best (wurde sp�ter durch Ringo Starr ersetzt)
kennen- und sch�tzen gelernt. Die nannten sich Beat Brothers". Als Produzent und Orchesterchef
Bert Kaempfert Sheridan 1960 f�r die Aufnahme einer LP verpflichtet habe, habe dieser "die
vier Liverpooler Boys" als Begleitband mitgenommen. Die daraus ausgekoppelten Single
"My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean" wurde ein Welthit.

"Polydor verkaufte innerhalb einer Woche 20.000 Platten", erinnerte sich Tony Sheridan stolz.
Weitere Plattenaufnahmen folgten, auf Gehei� von Produzent Kaempfert meist Madison, Twist und
Slop sowie Schnulzen mit deutschem Text im Stil der fr�hen 60er Jahre. Sheridan war talentiert
und sensibel, ehrgeizig, intelligent und sehr eigenwillig. "Bei Bert Kaempfert durfte ich meine
eigenen musikalischen Ideen leider nicht umsetzen." Es reichte nur noch zu einem wirklichen
Superhit: "Skinny Minnie".

Erst 1964 traf Sheridan die inzwischen zu Superstars aufgestiegenen Beatles wieder, im Flugzeug
bei einer Australien-Tournee. "Sp�ter habe ich Paul auf seinem Anwesen bei London besucht. Ich
musste �ber eine Mauer klettern � die Zugangstore waren von Fans umlagert. Nein, ein solches
Leben wollte ich nicht f�hren."

Tony Sheridan nahm nicht nur mit den damals unbekannten Beatles mehrere Singles auf � er lebe
nach eigenen Angaben Anfang der 60er Jahre mehrere Jahre lang mit ihnen zusammen. Paul McCartney
spricht heute noch von ihm als seinem "Teacher" (Lehrer). Zudem will Sheridan John Lennon und
George Harrison einige Kniffe auf der Gitarre beigebracht haben. Zu seinen musikalischen
Z�glingen geh�rte ferner Angus Young, Leadgitarrist der Hardrock-Band AC/DC.

Eine in Italien produzierte CD von Tony Sheridan unter dem Titel "Vagabond" ist in Deutschland
bei Bear Family Records erschienen. www.bear-family.de

Die Freundschaft zu den "Fab Four" aber blieb bestehen, w�hrend ihr rastloser Entdecker, vom
Showbiz wieder einmal bedient, zum Beispiel f�r 15 Monate als Truppenbetreuer nach Vietnam ging.
"Ein tiefer Einschnitt in meinem Leben."

Ein Schallplattenprojekt mit James Burton, Glen D. Hardin und Klaus Voorman platzte, weil der
Produzent pleite machte. Ab 1982 bet�tigte sich der Musiker als Bhagwan-Sch�ler, so auch in seiner
Wuppertaler Zeit. Da war er auch wieder im Fernsehen zu sehen. Mit neuen Songs und mit den alten
Hits. Die gro�en Tage dieses Rast- und Ruhelosen waren damals allerdings bereits vor�ber.
