Re: 1967 Gymnasium tapes
I agree, Elvis - the vinyl sounds better than the CD. As for the jump cut in "Run Run Run" - I think that was done just to replace a poorly sung chorus. The acetate version is unaltered, and you can hear what they replaced. Amazing stuff... I'm still listening to it! --- COME ON, POWERS THAT BE! REL...

Re: 1967 Gymnasium tapes
I'm not sure what's going on with the drums :o To me it sounds like there's more than one drummer? Is there any organ on this or is Cale playing another instrument? the bit at the end sounds like something left on an older recording - no idea if it has anything to do with vu but thought i should le...

Re: 1967 Gymnasium tapes
The fragments from "Twisted Stars" do seem to come from this performance of "Sister Ray", as we'd supposed.

Re: 1967 Gymnasium tapes
"Guess I'm Falling In Love" is the same performance as on the Peel Slowly box.

Re: Pale Blue Eyes
What can I say? Go listen to the tape, and then tell me Cale doesn't need anyone teaching him the song, because on the tape Lou is OBVIOUSLY teaching him the song.

Re: Pale Blue Eyes
The thing about the live dates makes sense, but I just went back and listened to the Bataclan tape, and it's hard to escape the conclusion that John simply has no idea how to play the song. Lou is not only teaching him the chords, but the order of the verses and chorus, and says "there's even a solo...

You read my mind, Elvis... If you listen to the two versions of "Guess I'm Falling In Love," the sound of the one on the box is identical to "Booker T" (and the bootlegged "Sister Ray" fragments, for that matter). So, to me, if "Booker T" is the Gymnasium, so is the boxed set version of "Guess I'm F...
