Frank Sinatra - 1983-01-07 - Las Vegas, NV (EX Aud)

1980S - #2: For Frank Sinatra, the year 1983 was the best of times and the worst of times. Early in the year, In he was selected as one of the five recipients of the 1983 Kennedy Center Honors, alongside Katherine Dunham, James Stewart, Elia Kazan, and Virgil Thomson. Quoting Henry James, President Reagan said in honoring his old friend that "art was the shadow of humanity" and that Sinatra had "spent his life casting a magnificent and powerful shadow."  Later that year, however, author Kitty Kelley said some less faltering things about Sinatra in her unofficial biography of the singer, entitled His Way. In fact, on September 21, 1983, Sinatra filed a $2 million court case against Kitty Kelley, suing her in punitive damages, before the book was even published. The book became a best-seller for "all the wrong reasons" and "the most eye-opening celebrity biography of our time", according to William Safire of The New York Times. Sinatra eventually dropped the case, but his rage at and the campaign against the book took a toll on his health.  This Excellent audience recording captures FranK early in that tumultuous year, in Las Vegas on January 7, 1983, 35  years ago today.

Jimi Hendrix - 1970-01-01 - Fillmore East NY (SBD) 

1970s - #1: Soon after his performance at Woodstock, Jimi Hendrix formed The Band of Gypsies, a new group featuring Billy Cox on bass and Buddy Miles on drums. Some thought that the creation of the all black group was an effort by Hendrix to appease the Black Power movement, which was pressuring him to become more militant in using his fame to speak up for civil rights. Others simply felt it was a necessary business move, as Hendrix was contractually bound to produce an album for producer Ed Chalpin in order to resolve a legal dispute. Still others felt it was another musical experiment for Jimi, as working with Miles created a fusion of jazz and rock which had never before been seen. Whatever the reasons behind Hendrix's decision, he, Cox and Miles rehearsed new material that they debuted at a series of 4 concerts at the Fillmore East. This soundboard recording captures the last of those 4 shows, the late show from January 1, 1970, 4 dozen years ago today. Less than a month later, the experiment known as The Band of Gypsies came to an abrupt end when Hendrix walked off stage at a concert at Madison Square Garden. Their set had been delayed until 3 am, and Hendrix clearly was in no shape to play. The Band of Gypsies was no more, but Jimi would reform the Experience (with Billy Cox replacing Noel Redding) to play a series of concerts in spring and summer of 1970, his last tour before his death on September 18, 1970.
