Animação, mais alguns trechos da espetacular obra prima 2d : "JUNKYARD" by Hisko Hulsing (https://vimeo.com/84024649) #shorts_ #musicvideo #shorts_video #rockstar #shorts #livemusic #reels #progressiverock #progressive --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In late 2020 a torrent appeared with the full recording that spawned California Stockyard from a fresh transfer of the master cassettes. The recording was made by a legend of the West Coast bootleg scene in the 1970’s and founder of Wizardo Records, Jon Wizardo. Over the next few months several new transfers taken directly from his master cassettes appeared, David Bowie, Yes, Fleetwood Mac, and The Who are just a few of the artists. Jon also recorded Pink Floyd at the Hollywood Bowl in September 1972, his recording was pressed on vinyl as the famous title, “Crackers” and a transfer is supposed to be forthcoming. At this point for those looking for more information about the man himself, here is a link to an extensive interview that provides a fascinating glimpse into the sorrid world of bootlegging: https://floydboots.com/pages/JonWizardo.php Like many recordings, the sound during the first number is a notch below the rest, the recordings starts as the lights go down and there is a fever pitch from the massive crowd, Snowy White’s bass starts as do the fireworks and finally Richard Wright’s keyboards as the atmosphere builds. Jon fiddles checks his recording levels as Roger’s vocals begin, all good to go, four minutes in the quality is excellent. Sheep sounds quite aggressive, in fact this recording sounds incredible and a voice in my head keeps telling me “turn it up….turn it up…”. Like usual the fast strumming ending of the song elicits cheers from the audience, certainly some sort of effects are happening as well. We may be hearing Jon in a quiet brief discussion at the beginning of the second set, and we finally get to hear Shine On You Crazy Diamond from this source. The sound is sublime, you can hear David touching the frets as he begins the sorrowful leads that, along with Rick’s keys, define the song, the keys stay constant, the guitar floats around beautifully. From this vantage point the crowd is actually mellow for the Wish You Were Here portion, perfect as the recording is vividly clear and detailed. Welcome To The Machine is extremely enjoyable, you detect nuances of sound, these almost twitchy electronic splashes pulsate through the soundscape. There is a second patch at the end of Welcome To The Machine that is again filled with the other source, again perfectly done and you get a feeling for the other side of the stadium as shouts of “Sit Down” are heard. David is late in hitting the lead at the beginning of Have A Cigar, his leads seem like he is grasping at straws, perhaps his head is elsewhere. The acoustic guitars are very well captured in this recording, interesting you can actually hear the echo in the stadium during the chorus, such is the depth of this tape. The second half of Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts 6-9 gives Dave a chance to improvise and he plays a very relaxed solo that also features Snow White with some nice playing, two guitars playing different things but complimenting each other. “”Mike says they’ll be back, but will they really….I’m freezing”… Ladies and gentlemen…Pink Floyd will not be back”…c’mon what do they want to make beggars out of us?”…just a few comments from Jon W and his band of merry Floydians. The sole encore is Money, the sounds of the cash register brings the stadium to its feet, the sound is just a bit distant at the start while things settle. Typical for 1977, the song is a last bit of Rock and Roll, a perfect ending to a rowdy concert. The ending announcements say that tonight’s attendance was over 40,000, something that garners a nice cheer, “Please drive carefully on the way home” and a last comment from our heroes, “sure was the sickest version of Money” end the recording.
