RADIO BROADCAST #889

04-17–26

0947 hrs. Fanatic! The power has been out in my neighborhood for about 14 hours. One day, probably not soon enough for my liking, my town will master this whole electricity in a storm thing. As it is now, I’m communicating unplugged, as it were, and will have to find some way to send this out to you. In less than 90 minutes, I will be in the studio for a mastering session. Hopefully, I can utilize their Internet connection. My strategy will be to get to the studio early, hopefully get online and complete these notes with Internet access. More soon.

1030 hrs. At the studio. My neighbor texted me and said a powerline had come down at the bottom of the street. As I drove by, I saw multiple trucks and men working away. Hopefully, the power will be back on soon.

I hope you have a long list of vinyl interests for tomorrow’s RSD. I’ve only been through the list once but will check it again if I can get online. There’s a multi LP Coltrane set from 1965 being offered. Just my opinion—not a second of any live Coltrane performance should be missed, but 1965 was an incredible year for Coltrane. I believe I picked up bootleg CDs of the 1965 Paris radio broadcasts in France at the beginning of 1992. I think that was the tour where Elvin Jones did his last shows with the Quartet. Live versions of A Love Supreme tracks! I hope I find a copy of this one.

This 1974 live King Crimson album seems like it would be worth checking out.

I have a lot of bootlegs from that tour. This show can also be found on the exhaustive Road To Red box set. https://www.discogs.com/ master/628354-King-Crimson- The-Road-To-Red

21 CDs! I did it, one CD a day, in 2023. Totally worth it.

1749 hrs. Back from the studio. An amazing day of work. I can’t wait for you to hear this one. The men in the trucks working on the powerlines have been replaced by other men and other trucks, removing the tree that fell on the powerlines. Electricity is back.

We have a tremendous gathering of tunes for you, which we hope you will enjoy. Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!
