Someone left a comment asking where to start with Townes Van Zandt and if I have any shows of his....well of course I have some shows, and here's a brand spankin' new one. All I have to say about this one is DAMN!! The sound on this one....EXCELLENT, the performances on this....EXCELLENT!!
This is basically a Townes and Guy show with Ray Wylie and Bobby Rambo thrown as a bonus. After listening to this a couple times, I'm honestly surprised this hasn't seen official release yet....it's that good. The version of Townes' "Marie" on here kills me. Other bonuses on here....learn a little back story to Guy's L.A. Freeway, learn why they call it the Three Teardrops Tavern (now a Duccati dealership). Highlight is by far the Townes and Guy singing trading songs off and singing together at the end.
This is the first I've ever heard of Bobby Rambo, but I'm very impressed by what's on here, an artist I will have to find more about. Oh and if you still want to know where to start with Townes, get Live at The Old Quarter (especially if you like this)

Wow, just wanted to leave you a comment thanking you for all this! This place is a goldmine of great music! I've got a few things I'd like to share with you that you might really dig.
ReplyDeleteReally looking forward to this one. Glad you're back.
ReplyDeletelive at the old quarter was the album that got me into townes some years ago.... i heard 'no place to fall' and never looked back.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your hard work, I enjoy your site and am glad that you're able to post again.
ReplyDeleteCould you please redo the rapidshare version of this download, both parts seem to download fine, but when trying to extract the files, only blank folders show up.
Thanks.
Anyone else having that problem?
ReplyDeleteOK, I just tried it and everything worked fine. The problem is probably the path is too long. Try just pulling the files out of the rar (by dragging them) instead of doing an extract all.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't do that, but I shortened the file name, and that worked. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot! I left that comment a couple weeks ago, and I really appreciate you putting this up. It's a great Christmas gift.
ReplyDeletePulled the FLAC version of this one from Dime on Christmas Day. It is indeed a great show. My appreciation of TVZ grows each time I listen to him as do my regrets for having not listened to him in his day.
ReplyDeleteGreat show. Thanks. But I had a problem extracting song 205, but everything else worked fine. Anyone else have this problem?
ReplyDeleteI couldn't extract the files at all till I shortened the file names (thanks, other Anon), but now the extraction only gets as far as 205 and stops there. Especially frustrating since I was most looking forward to hearing the Townes & Guy duets. Is there a way of getting round the roadblock?
