A Request for A Friend: Steely Dan from 2009-08-01

A good friend of mine - Normski, who you can meet at the chat box on D&P's Bootleg Tunz World - has been searching for months trying to find a really good boot of Steely Dan at The Beacon Theatre in NY with Larry Carlton. He's read that the Aug 1st, 2009 show was broacast in its entirity on WBAI 99.5 on the 'Morning Dew' show. He's hoping someone might have taped that show.

If anyone has a copy of that show (or any FM or Soundboard recording of Steely Dan with Larry Carlton) could they leave a comment on this post with a link where it can be downloaded.

Thanks in advance for helping out Normski!

Reposting Some Shows At So Many Roads To Ease My Soul

Starting this month, we'll slowly start reposting some shows from the early days of this website.  Why you might ask?  Well, we want to make all our posts consistent with the theme we've established over the last several months.  In the early days, we simply posted shows as we felt like it, starting with some of our favorite bootlegs.  Over time, the website has evolved and taken on a "This Day In Rock History Theme".  For example, yesterday, July 30, we posted Creedence from that very same day, 40 years ago in 1970!   So, we're going to move many of our early posts to bring them in line with the actual date they occurred.  When we do, we may expand and enhance the write up about the show to add some additional historical context.  Again, some of the early posts lacked any real detail because at that point we hadn't really figured out what we were doing

We've already taken the above steps with a Led Zep show in June and a Linda Ronstadt concert in July.  We'll have another repost tomorrow, when we feature The Band from August 1, 1973.   I think we have 3 or 4 others that we'll repost later in August, and we'll keep that up until all our shows fit in with our theme.  Don't worry, though, because these reposts will not reduce the amount of new concerts we feature.  We'll still post 15 to 20 new bootlegs every month, just as we have in the past.   Enjoy the music and leave a comment if there's something you really liked!

Steely Dan - 1996-07-21 - Manassas, VA (SBD)

On July 5, 1996, Steely Dan launched their Art Crimes tour, their 3rd series of live performances since Walter Becker and Donald Fagan reformed the band in 1993. A two month run in the US would be followed in September with their first European shows in over two decades. The band brought the tour to a close in October with a series of concerts in Japan. This soundboard recording captures them early on during the US leg of the tour, in Manassas, on July 21, 1996, 14 years ago today.

New Home Page Picture At So Many Roads

Woke up today and decided my home page needed a little artwork to make it more inviting to all the folks who are kind enough to visit.  So I dabbled around in Paint and came up with the compilation of logos that now sits right below the blog title.  I think it fits quite well with the theme of this place, but what do you think?  Leave a comment and let me know!  And thanks again for visiting So Many Roads To Ease My Soul.

Eric Clapton - 1974-07-09 - Montreal, Canada (SBD)

After returning to the stage in January 1973 at the Rainbow Concert, and finally kicking his addiction to heroin, Eric Clapton went into the studio in April 1973 to record his first solo album. The resulting disc, 461 Ocean Boulevard, went to #1 on the Billboard charts, as did the single I Shot The Sheriff, a remake of the Bob Marley classic. Clapton went on tour in the US in late June 1974, about the same time as the album was released. Incredibly, soundboard or FM recordings exist for almost every show of that tour. Those recordings reveal a more laid back EC, who was now battling a new addiction, alcohol. This soundboard captures him on July 9, 1974, 3 dozen years ago today, at the Forum in Montreal. Download this one to hear EC, the man behind such legendary bands as Cream, Blind Faith, and Derek and The Dominos, on his first solo tour.

Happy Independence Day
