Ten Years After: 1969-12-03 Helsinki, Finland (FLAC_SB/FM 1st Gen_1 CD)

Today is the 46th anniversary of this excellent sounding first generation recording of the Ten years After show in Helsinki in 1969.  This is an off-air recording and is very clean and mixed very well.  I have two copies of this exact recording.  One is a remaster and the other is this one that has not been remastered.

The waveform looks good and the audio is balanced well.  There is some right channel audio clipping on the first two tracks in the waveform of each but it looks like it was likely a recording level issue and it was fixed.  And as far as I could hear listening to the show today, it is not anything you will hear or notice.  It's not a bad issue or problem at all.

It cracks me up as Alvin Lee is talking before "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl".  He is saying that the song will probably be their last song and the crowd can be heard doing the "noooo...booo" kind of thing showing they want to hear more.  He just calmly says "But it's 5 hours long" in a joking manner.  And of course it isn't the last song either as they do play another.

A special thanks goes to Erik for originally sharing the show and to "LB" for posting it on Dime.

I hope you enjoy the show...

Ten Years After: 1969-09-01 Lewisville, TX (FLAC_SB_1 CD)

Ten Years After is a band I really, really like but have only uploaded one other show of theirs so far.  There are a number of bands this is the case with too.  I like them a lot but I've uploaded only one show or even no shows in a number of cases.  I've got a lot of their shows as well as some excellent (and even master) DVD's too and I think I may put a few other shows up from Ten Years After really soon.

I did an EAC rip about a week ago of a 2000 CD-R trade I did for this Ten Years After performance at the 1969 Texas International Pop Festival.  And today I'm uploading the soundboard of this show.  It's an excellent recording of a superb performance.

To be perfectly honest, I am not sure if this is actually the Oh Boy label copy of this show.  I was remembering as I was scanning the artwork for this upload that I had found it and it was a perfect match back in 2000.  It may have been the Oh Boy label copy too, but I just cannot say for sure now.  And the CD-R artwork I added was nothing more than my own creation of a stick on label .  Ignore the Chili Ghost Bootlegs label because it was something I was playing around with at the time.

This is an excellent sounding recording wherever it came from.  I have another recording of the same show that is a FLAC copy and it doesn't sound as good as this copy does.

I get the impression there may have been another song in this show but it has not been released.  The reason I say this is because the announcer on stage says "your gonna have to make some more noise if you want another song" or something similar about a minute after the song ends on track 5 (the last track).  It sounds like they really didn't add the encore to any copies of the show I've ever seen.  Either they didn't play another song or maybe they did but I've never seen it.

I hope you enjoy the show...

I've had this concert for a while but had really forgotten about it.  I've never heard the whole show and I am listening now as I write up this post.  In fact, I may take a break right now and go sit on the couch and just jam out for a while.  It helps to have actually listened to the show first before you talk about it anyhow!

It must have been something to have been able to have seen shows like this one and to have recorded the classic concerts (or modern day then) in past years.  I know I'd have been doing it too had I been old enough back then.  But when you see the gear in the images below, you see we have it so easy nowadays compared to sneaking equipment in back in the early 1970's.

This concert is really tight sounding.  The band is in fine shape and sounds great on this night.  They were playing at the Seattle Center Arena according to JEMS.  I'm not sure if this is the same as the Seattle Center Coliseum or if that name followed in the following year.  They're likely the same place.

This really is an incredible show and an incredible job of recording and transferring  the show by JEMS!

I hope you enjoy the show...
