Hi!!
Ian, how wonderful! You're going to see one of the shows with the symphony!!! Now I REALLY am excited for you!! It's going to be a long 4 months, though, isn't it?!!!
What are your venues like, by the way? How many people can they hold? Are they totally seated or is there room for some standing areas?? Just curious about the kind of crowds Meat will have there.
Hi, Mariella and Kathy! Glad you got to hear the live FCOL from '78, finally.
Kathy, this one was taken from a radio show broadcast in 1978, so, no, there are no official recordings of the entire concert that I know of. Since Meat released only a limited amount of live material on albums or videos through the years, many of the live versions of the songs out here are either taped from TV or radio or audience recordings. That makes me sad, because to me, it's so amazing to be able to go, for example, all the way back to the beginnings--1978--with Meat and Karla and Jim--and hear what the songs orginally sounded like performed before an audience!! So these early recordings are truly treasures!!
Glad y'all enjoyed this one.
Take good care.
Love,
MB
