Comment on The Doors – Old Stone Road (Godfather Records GR 834) by relayer67

relayer67 — Mon, 20 May 2013 22:54:30 +0000

I had to put on some DOORS as a celebration of a great muscians life and art. I have not listened to this show for a long time, Great version of Universal Mind, love the way Manzerek and Krieger play an ode to John Coltrane by going into My Favorite Things > Afro Blue to lead off a great jazzy interlude. Morrison was always the focal point but the other three muscians were first class and really carry alot of the 1970 performances, great show and one that will have me delving back into their 1968 summer shows next

Since I already own Assorted Lunatics, I personally have no plans on picking up or reviewing Kyoto 1972. If I find out that it comes from an alternate source, I may reconsider.

Anybody interested in Sigma or Godfather-titles from PF (or related)? I’m going to part with quite a lot of titles from these labels’ backcatalogue; lost my job need the money.
Drop me a note with titles your looking for at arno(dot)bestuur(at)jeugdaktief(dot)nl
Prices will be the exact prices I’ve paid for them; shipping is for the buyer.

what are the very best versions of the Doors infamous 3/1/1969 show in Miami, Florida (USA) for which Jim Morrison was convicted of exposing himself? and what are very worst versions to avoid? thanks to anybody who could helpfully let us know

anybody know how Mid Valley’s “Reverse G” 2CD version of the Derek & the Dominos 11/26/1970 show in Cincinnati, Ohio (USA) compares to the Hiwatt label’s “Everyday We Play the Blues” 2CD digi-pack version? there’s one website that claims that Hiwatt’s version is a little better, but another site has Mid Valley’s version rated substantially higher. we already have the Hiwatt version, and like it, but we’re wondering if the Mid Valley version may be worth pursuing as a possible upgrade, so thanks to anybody who could kindly inform us

Dear Godfather, if you are out there, and if you are listening, can you please smile and give us the Madison Square Garden, Feb 18. 1977 soundboard please. It has been out on pro-CDR for ages but only the silver release will do. Crazy, high-energy show! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZTKvRg_9QQ

Thanks for your insights kads. I’ll be adding the latest Godfather 2CD release to my collection before Zodiac release. Although the liner notes of Godfathers MK V boxset said that was the last in their boxset series I would certainly hope it doesn’t finish there. I would love to see them release a definitive Australia/NZ leg Unmasked 1980 tour boxset with the 22 Nov. Sydney and 3 Dec. Auckland soundboards paired with the Nov. 18 Adelaide audience recording. To flesh this out to a 8CD box I’d add Eric Carr’s 25 Jul. Palladium NY debut.

Speaking of Revenge COTN similarities. Godfather just released an excellent new double CD. The 30th Anniversary Edition of the legendary TENTH ANNIVERSARY TOUR featuring the full March 83 Universal Amphitheatre Show from the master source aswell as the FULL FM broadcast from Rio 83, the final KISS show in make up in front of 80.000 fans.

Same goes for Revenge is Ready. Strong title aswell. Great Tour and great set with 100.000 Years, Chistine Sixteen etc. still in place.

But also the speed issues. Tapes propably from same source. Seems recorded with a damaged deck as the recording suffers from a variable speed mostly too fast and it’s like the chipmuncks having their Revenge. The great release suffers a litlle from this and one wonders why the producers didn’t have love for the product and corrected the speed issues? A speed corrected version is on the way and should find its way to a silver release on “a certain label” shortly I guess…….

This is better than Akashic, no pops or clicks.

I was never able to find the Akashic title but this Godfather sounds great, especially the Davenport tracks. Good solid performance too.

For the whole of the recording it sounds to be at the right speed but you can here what sounds like the band is off key and is in fact the tape itself. More prevelent at the begining of the recording

Thanks for the review relayer67, very informative. Regarding the speed issues with this one, is it running fast or slow?

Although part of the great no-label box set Cyclone, the simple fact that this concert can also now be heard in a Mr. Peach recording will likely make it fresh and new to many listeners.

Ah the subjective number system, I would rate it a 6-7 on that scale for a 1973 outside audience recording it is quite nice.
