Doom & Gloom From The Tomb: A Blog

hey tyler I knew the real McCabe, here in Eugene! he just died a few months back. I thought about starting an RIP thread but didn't. a co-worker of mine was kind of responsible for his living space, he's married to the guy's granddaughter.

huh, no kidding! i seriously loved that place as a kid. I wished I could live there. Seems like they still are bringing in pretty cool acts: http://www.mccabes.com/condata.html
Kinky Friedman, Mia Doi Todd, Gary Lucas ...

i'm hoping my friends from back then digitize some of the other shows. we have some more hitchcock, jonathan richman, frank black ... I think Martin Carthy ...

I have a Liz Phair show somewhere on cassette... also Fahey from the 70's.

nice! would love to hear that Fahey show ... i've got a weird 80s McCabe's show with Steve Wynn, Natalie Merchant, Michael Stipe and various other college rockers. Actually not all that good, but interesting.

i've got some 70s fahey too. one where he plays a very long version of "fare forward voyagers."

hey tyler, you gonna share those modern lovers boots i sent you? do it--they should be heard. will need to transcode them to mp3 i suppose.

Yes! Those Modern Lovers boots (along with some other stuff you sent me) are in the queue. They're great -- especially that Stonehenge one ...

Dis-Nous Dylan is awesome! A nice slice of how far his influence spread in pop at the time. Love that Beau Brummels track. And I think the Faces cut is my favourite Rod Stewart moment ever (which admittedly ain't saying much). Also some super-funky cuts... well done, Brio.

nice! would love to hear that Fahey show ... i've got a weird 80s McCabe's show with Steve Wynn, Natalie Merchant, Michael Stipe and various other college rockers. Actually not all that good, but interesting.

is that the one with Leaving On A Jet Plane? Haven't heard that in years, although I have fond memories of it. Do some of the REM reissue bonus tracks come from that show?

yeah, i think it's got Leaving On A Jet Plane on it. Haven't listened in ages ... don't know if any of them were officially released? Maybe?

Just put up another McCabe's Robyn Hitchcock show ... quality not quite as good as Ned's tape from last week, but still great! special show for me, since this was the first time I saw the guy play.

Very nice blog. Kudos big time!

another stroll down memory lane, this time a John Cale show, deep in the heart of Orange County ... http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

just put up one last 1994 show that I attended -- Pavement at the Palace!

up now, a Dylan show from 1995, including Patti Smith's opening set. Really, really good.

zappa/mothers of invention rarities grab-bag up now!

Thanks for the heads-up(s)!

I still need to check out that Zappa...

hey tyler if you ever read Ulysses: Stuart Gilbert's chapter-by-chapter guide is apparently somewhat controversial but I found it very helpful.

thanks for the recommendation--I plan on getting to it someday. I've read everything else, except for Finnegan's Wake. The sort of thing I regret not taking a full class on in college.

tyler man u are killing it!

the only reason i don't go to your blog sometimes is cuz i get overwhelmed! too much good shit...

grabbing the patti/dylan gonna get the zappa

that eliza randazzo is intriguiging!

hey have you heard the Catherine Howe reissue on Numero Group?? just got that and it is a gorgeous record.

thx dude!
Yeah, a friend burned that Catherine Howe record for me a while back, but I haven't given it a lot of time. I should dig it out again. randazzo record is very nice -- occasionally verges on a little too pretty sounding, but her voice/lyrics kinda cut through.
should be finally posting the early modern lovers shows amateurist was so kind to send me a while back later this week.

btw sorry i never sent u that first jayhawks record, moved this summer and am still digging out from the mess....now it's been reissued anyway!

yeah, i saw that -- figured it was the same thing you had been talking about. i've thrown the door open to contributors so if anyone has anything bootleggy they desperately want to share with the world, let me know.

yep its the same one, honestly it's a really good record IMO you should check it out

woah it occurs to me that i must've seen bob like honestly a few days either before or after this patti/bob show!

because i lived above some hippies and they were full-on mourning jerry garcia and bob did alabama getaway and dedicated it to jerry

weirdly, the jayhawks opened, bringing this all full circle

nice! i saw dylan in the spring of 1995 and I think it was the best bob show i've witnessed. i mention it in the post, but the acoustic sets are pretty astonishing. patti set is really good too.

yeah, I d/l'ed the 95 show from you, tyler, & it's great---fierce guitar playing throughout

re-uploaded that Television 1992 disc by request from nerve pylon ... http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/243843224/no-glamour-after-a-14-year-hiatus-television
it's a killer, if you didn't get it the first time.

finally posted that Modern Lover 1971 recording amateurist sent my way. all thanks to him! it is great.

following up the modern lovers show, i've upped my comp of the best of (imo) those VU professor tapes that were unearthed earlier this year.

heyyy, started posting a series of 1976 Neil Young/Crazy Horse shows. If you like Neil, you want these.

cool; pulled this one down

tyler, do you have any recommendations for International Harvesters boots?

yeahhhh, the austin city limits show is prob your best bet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB5bGDPJakE&feature=related

yeah it looks great, as I read around about that show; can't find it right now unfortunately but I'll keep looking.

lemme know if it doesn't show up on the interwebs, i can up it for you at some point.

more neil young/crazy horse japanese 1976 tour up now

ok the "Cowgirl In The Sand" on the Budokan set is hilarious---sounds spraying all over the place. But it mostly works!

ok I'm pretty blah on "Southern Man" usually but this one, on the Budokan set, is far out...totally jagged

haha, yeah, crazy horse really bludgeons that one, in the best way possible. it's always exciting -- are they actually gonna pull off that tempo change!? barely!

hey euler, if you're still looking for int'l harvesters, this show is great, too. http://infinitefool.blogspot.com/2010/08/this-is-pretty-widely-distributed-but.html

huh cool---pulling it down

"down by the river" is pretty nuts on that iirc. neil does this long, intro monologue.

DANG tyler, your blog is always full of treasures, but that Budokan set is something else...

oh nice, glad you're liking it. i really do think neil's guitar playing in this period is incredible. just like everything i want in a guitarist.

yet another neil/crazy horse 1976 show up now (i'm really going to run this into the ground). next up, the dreaded stills/young band. a nice contrast to the previous shows.

ok, the stills-young show is up. worth a listen, even though some of it is kinda bad.

aight, finally done with this Neil Young 1976 overview. Bernstein Tapes and a Chicago show are up now!

i've mainly just been linking to other stuff in the past few weeks, but I've got one of my own things up now -- an hour's worth of the Floyd jamming on "Interstellar Overdrive." Why? Because i love you. http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

awesome! i LOVED those Bernstein tapes, btw.
