To Eric, via all Slowhanders:
Happy Birthday, Eric.....Today is my birthday, too (3-30-53). I last
saw Eric when he did his "Behind The Sun" Tour in Anchorage, Alaska in 1985
at the Sullivan Arena. I still purchase his albums & videos. Great
Musician!
Peace & Love, Always!

...if anyone else had heard of this CD or this songwriter?

I never did but I was surfing the other day and saw that it had both Eric
Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan on it! Amazing! I never knew that the two
had ever done anything together! Well I ordered it and Wow!!! Anyway maybe
you should check it out. Clapton is on four tracks of the CD. And it
really rocks. I thought it was worth the $20 that it cost. I haven't
ordered the other CD but I am thinking about it.

>> Now I have a question. Why did Clapton not play at outdoor amphitheaters
like Shoreline, SPAC, Irvine Meadows and dozens of other accross the country
and maybe world? The only tour I can reemember him playing an outdor show
in Los Angeles was when he toured with Elton John years ago, and they played
at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. I don't know where they played in other
city's. <<
Although I've never seen Clapton at an outdoor venue, he's played plenty of
them. Clapton played at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in nearby Columbia,
Maryland back in the late '80s or early '90s. There are plenty of pictures
of Clapton playing at the outdoor Crystal Palace in the UK, circa 1976. He
played at Live Aid in 1985, which was broadcast worldwide on TV. He played
at Knebworth in 1990. There are outdoor photographs on bootlegs of EC
playing in the San Francisco area during the mid-1970s. I know that Clapton
played in Davenport, Iowa in 1974, another outdoor performance. And I
believe that EC has also played at NY's Shea Stadium. And isn't there
another 1974 performance enshrined on bootleg of Clapton playing at
Roosevelt Stadium in NY or NJ?
Furthermore, Blind Faith played outdoors on 26 July 1969 in West Allis,
Wisconsin. And Cream's first official gig was 31 July 1966 at the Windsor
Racecourse in the UK. In addition, Clapton played outdoors at plenty of
festivals while with the Yardbirds (including the First R&B Festival,
Birmingham, 28 February 1964) and while he was with John Mayall And The
Bluesbreakers.
These are ALL off the top of my head. If I took the time, to go through the
Bootography and the EC Tourography, I could find dozens more outdoor
performances. The longer I think, the more outdoor performances I remember.
The answer is Clapton has played PLENTY of outdoor performances, at PLENTY
of outdoor venues.
Or, maybe I didn't understand the question.

Dear Loathsome Trade Hacks,
I was terribly amused by your series of fantasy
scenarios detailing my =
supposed crawl through all the post-Grammy "company
store" parties. In
truth, I opted for a quiet, candlelit dinner with my
beautiful wife at a =
seaside restaurant. You see, I didn't want to attend
any of those =
sumptuous
bashes and be the guy who ordered that one extra glass
of champagne that =
shifted the delicate balance and sent the industry
careening over the edge =
into the abyss of total bankruptcy (although Sony's
music group shows a =
profit of $203 million for this past fiscal year).
In retrospect, though, I probably should have made the
scene and kissed =
some record-company ass. Perhaps I could have gotten
my own label deal. =
Maybe, while standing there admiring the ice sculpture
filled with shrimp, =
I would have had an epiphany, seen the light and been
converted:
There is no God, there is no government, there are no
individuals. There =
is only THE CORPORATION. The sovereign, almighty,
world-governing
Corporation-and we are all here to serve It.
Having thus come to my senses, I, too, would then be
able to sign =
fledgling artists to unconscionable, long-term
contracts with all those =
juicy
deduction clauses like the one for breakage that dates
back to 1928, when =
the records were made of shellac and would shatter if
dropped. Tried to =
break a CD lately? Why, you couldn't break one if you
wedged it horizontall=
y between Zach Horowitz's butt cheeks and told him
that all his master =
copyrights were about to revert to the true owners,
the artists. But never =
mind that now. Then I could stick those stupid artists
with at least 50% =
of the independent-promotion costs, even though they
had nothing to do =
with allowing that practice to become
institutionalized. For an encore, I =
could whack 'em again with "free goods," packaging
deductions, video =
costs, etc., etc., ad infinitum.
"Sit your temperamental, flaky, naive ass down here,
artist. Disgruntled =
about your deal after your third album sold 5 million
copies? Sure, we'll
renegotiate with you. We'll just give you what
basically amounts to your =
own money, which we've been holding in the pipeline
and collecting =
interest on, but we're also gonna start the clock all
over again and tack =
on three more albums at the end so that you're
essentially starting all =
over again. It's a beautiful thing. You're gonna love
it here-for the rest =
of your career, which actually could be over in five
minutes, but hey, =
that's not our
problem (we own your master copyrights, you boob). So
you can just sell =
the house in the hills and go back to that crappy
little town you came =
from, and the world 'will not long remember what we
did here, etc...' =
We'll just write off any losses we may have incurred
(although we really =
haven't incurred any). It's just the cost of doing
business. Then we'll =
proceed to the next gullible sap with a dream. You
came from diddlysquat, =
and you'll get used to diddlysquat again.
"Meanwhile, here at media-mogul headquarters, we've
got to lock up the =
house in Santa Barbara, as well as the one in the
Hamptons (plus the =
vacation pad in Acapulco) and rush off to get the
corporate jet serviced. =
It's in dire need of a tune-up after all those trips
to France, and the =
new one won't be delivered until we find the next
Flavor-of-the-Month and =
bring in some serious profits (or prophets-we could
really use either). =
After all, we've got to fund our mass-production
assembly line somehow. =
You know-all the crap we sign just because some
21-year-old A&R man tells =
us it's brilliant. You can't expect us to sacrifice
our bottom line just =
for the sake of culture.
We don't give a shit about culture. That kind of
starry-eyed idealism =
doesn't fit in with our plan for world domination,
much less the plans of
our board of directors and our major stockholders.
We've got quarterly =
reports to file, and we've got a 90%-plus failure rate
that screams out, =
'We
don't know what the fuck we're doing."" ("Gentlemen,
gentlemen! We've got =
to protect our phony baloney jobs!" -Mel Brooks,
Blazing Saddles)
"I mean, who would have thought those freakin'
hillbillies would have sold =
over 3 million albums and won five Grammys!? And no
tits, no ass, no
cursing, no nothing! Just...uh...musicianship and
soulfulness. We don't =
get it. Is there something we're missing? Is there
some hunger out there =
for
authenticity? We're so confused!"=20
Meanwhile, back in the real world: In order to finally
settle these =
escalating disputes between artists and the record
companies with the
dignity and class indicative of these times, I have
come up with a plan. =
Hilary Rosen and I will engage in a bout of nude mud
wrestling, which will
be broadcast on that paragon of good taste, the Fox
Network (if Fox =
doesn't want it, then we'll do it on The WB). If I
win, she has to sleep =
with Zach
Horowitz. If she wins, I have to purchase a lifetime
subscription to HITS =
magazine-and actually read it.
Love and kisses,
Don Henley

Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed
Hi All,
Thanks to John Whitney ( & Olli for starting this) I can now offer the
Budokan show on a B&P basis to the first 5 UK Slowhanders to e-mail me.
Artwork available from sysabend.org/users/geetarz
For anyone who's not heard the show yet, the quality of both the band and
the recording are excellent. The whole gig benefits from Greg Phillinganes
on the keyboards and not having the Impressions on stage !! The show has a
version of GYOMM which I think is better than the album version and has
Layla both Acoustic & Electric
Cheers
Mark.
