Whsitling Alex Moore
Nightstage, Cambridge MA
July 25, 1986

Nightstage was a wonderful club with great sound in the heart of Cambridge MA
across the street from the Necco Wafer factory.

The soundman has his booth upstairs over hanging the main floor. The speakers
were mounted to the ceiling. This show was recorded on cassette from 2 microphones perched
on the soundboard booth, right in front of the speakers. I recorded many shows that way until the
new soundman made me record through the board, which didn’t make for as good a mix in this
size room with the kind of setup it had.



This recording, made from my master and lead to Rounder Records recording Alex in 1988.

Alex Moore was 87 years old at the time of this recording. We was flown to Cambridge for a week's
worth of shows opening for Memphis Slim. Alex played his set and then sat at the bar
and heckled. It was a two show
per night gig, at least on the weekends.

I have no real song list as he is really a stream of conscious player. Amazing

Tracks 1-7 are the early show
Tracks 8-15 are the late show
