The Hollow Men - The Promise & Shades of Blue (Rockarena ABC)
+
I used to try and see The Hollow Men as much as I could live when I first came out here to Melbourne in 1986, such a great band getting ever more forgotten as the years go by it seems. I remember one of their final gigs which was all just covers like this one. Somewhere I still have a cassette with them playing Blasphemous Rumours at a session and it was brilliant. Remember also when Paul Kelly wanted to be just like Billy Baxter?

Over a Decade of Recording Black Cab Live
From the Doesn't Time Fly Dept
I first started recording Black Cab gigs when they did three or four Sunday arvo shows at the old Cherry Bar here in Melbourne back in 2011
The first thing to note is that these gigs were free entry and from memory were not very well attended at all, so much so that I seem to recall that the last Sunday gig was cancelled
But this was the start of the band becoming a radically different beast than previously or as BC's Andrew said the other day to me: Those Cherry shows were tough but we hacked a new sound there. The Shabeen gigs were also super formative. We miss that place...I'd been catching Black Cab as much as I could since first coming across their debut album Altamont Diary. Really not sure if it was just the concept of the album that caught my attention, their cover of the GOGD's New Speedway Boogie or Channel 10 using this as their station promo for a while. I haven't watched TV for over a decade now but what on earth made someone think that a suitable jingle for the upcoming summer TV fare of one of Australia's three commercial networks should be a track from an album about Altamont, which let's face it was one of the final nails in the coffin containing the carcass of the sixties dream. Personally I think the sixties dream ended on the 6th October 1966

The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main St. Blues (Flexi-Disc NME 1972)
7“ Flexi-Disc. given away with the New Musical Express in the29th April 1972 edition. Jagger introduces excerpts from the forthcoming albumExile on Main St which was released a couple of weeks later
The following tracks are played "All Down The Line", "Tumbling Dice". "Shine A Light" and "Happy". The song Jagger is singing alludes to the Exile tracks excepted. I think that may be Nicky Hopkins accompanying Jagger as opposed to Ian Stewart but I could be very well wrong there
Really thought that this would have turned up on the deluxe(?) version of Exile when it was released back in 2010
