This set of music was recorded at a house party on Halloween night, 1982, in Phoenix Arizona.  It is the first time for this group to play "publicly".  It is also my first live performance in the first organized band I was in.  The band consisted of the amazing Tim France on drums and lead vocals; Tim Collins on guitar and vocals; Larry Bryant on bass and me on Guitar.   We put this list of music together in about 6 weeks having formed the band in September.  

The tracks were culled from the original cassette tape obviously recorded that night almost 31 years ago as of this writing.  I have been concerned for a while the tape might degrade and I would lose this snapshot.  The audio quality is, finally, very much improved as well, now that I have the equipment/software to apply.  Took that long :-/  Things start sounding pretty good around "Lonely Is The Night".  Amps have been turned up, everyone has had a couple of beers, nerves have settled and the party is getting rolling.  

Just a note: During "867-5309" the several 500 W stage lights,  we were trying to run on house outlets took down the power and we not so gracefully recovered once somebody reset the breaker.  The song ends abruptly for the same reason.  (No low power lighting in those days - it's all about atmosphere man).  We moved a couple of lights to another outlet between songs and had no more problems...yay-hoo.

We played our first official paying gig at a bar on the West side of Phoenix (51st Ave and Indian School) called "Arnolds 2X4" - no lie :-0 - it was transitioning back from a titty bar to a band bar lol (it went back and forth at the whim of the owner, Arnold), on Dec 31st. 1982.  We played many Wed - Sat  9pm - 1 am weeks there during the next year.  Sometimes opening for just the bartender and waitress promptly at 9 pm (usually Wednesday) and sometimes it was wall to wall (usually on the weekends).  This bar actually had two bars - the one we played in was only open Wed - Sat, so we were able to stay set up and practice in there on Monday and Tuesday.  The beer was free and it was a nice big room.  Those were the days :-) 

A consumer audio cassette deck with two condenser microphones of unknown mfg. hanging from the ceiling over the band in the small-ish living room where we were playing in was used to capture the recording.  I imported the tracks into Pro Tools through a Black Lion Audio Sparrow MKII ADC and applied mastering plugins to improve the sound.  The bass guitar is almost not audible on the cassette.  The processor chain is: 670 on mix bus; then in the IKMultimedia TrackS-CS plug-in: linear phase EQ, Quad band stereo imager, Opto-compressor; Quad band compressor, another 670, a little reverb, fEQP-1A; De-Esser; Brickwall Limiter.

This project is intended to archive and preserve this event for me and the other band members.  No infringement on the original artist work is intended or implied.  This music is not for sale or use by anyone.   This is obviously all cover material with one exception, "Change In My Heart" written by Tim Collins...no rights to any other music in this set is made by me or anyone in the band.  That said, enjoy a flash back to the Early Eighty's.

LYRICS
Climbing out back the door, didn't leave a mark
No one knows it's you Miss Jackson
Found another victim
But no one's ever gonna find Miss Jackson 

You put a sour little flavor in my mouth now
You move in circles hoping no one's gonna find out
But we're so lucky, 
Kiss the ring and let 'em bow down
Looking for the time of your life

A pretty picture but the scenery is so loud,
A face like heaven catching lighting in your nightgown,
But back away from the water, babe, you might drown- 
The party isn't over tonight

He-eyy
Where will you be waking up tomorrow morning?
He-eyy
Out the back door
Goddamn
But I love her anyway
I love her anyway 
I love her anyway
Out the back door
Goddamn
But I love her anyway

Miss Jackson
Miss Jackson
Miss Jackson
Are you nasty?

Miss Jackson
Are you nasty?
Are you nasty?
I love her anyway 

Ohhhh
Where will you be waking up tomorrow morning?
Ohhhh
Out the back door
Goddamn
But I love her anyway

Way down 'til the fire finally dies out 
You've got 'em wrapped around your finger
Watch 'em fall down 
There's something beautiful and tragic in the fall out-
Let me say it one more time
(tragic in the fall out) 

He-eyy
Where will you be waking up tomorrow morning?
He-eyy
Out the back door, Goddamn
But I love her anyway
I love her anyway 
I love her anyway 
Out the back door but
I love her anyway

Miss Jackson
Miss Jackson
Miss Jackson
Are you nasty?

Miss Jackson
Miss Jackson
Miss Jackson
Are you nasty?

Miss Jackson
Miss Jackson
Miss Jackson
Are you nasty?
Are you nasty?
I love her anyway

Ohhhh
Where will you be waking up tomorrow morning?
Ohhhh
Out the back door
Goddamn
But I love her anyway

Climbing out back the door, didn't leave a mark
No one knows it's you Miss Jackson
Found another victim
But no one's ever gonna find Miss Jackson 

I love her anyway 

Miss Jackson

Ohhhh
When will you be waking up tomorrow morning?
Ohhhh
Out the back door

We wanted to give everyone a sneak peak of the LPU XIII CD. Premiering "Primo [I'LL BE GONE - LONGFORM 2010 DEMO]", an early demo of LINKIN PARK's "I'LL BE GONE" off the studio album LIVING THINGS.

A note from Mike Shinoda on the track:

Although we opted for a different final direction for “I’LL
BE GONE,” I always loved this longer version of the song.
I think this is a good example of how a different structure
and arrangement can totally change the vibe of a song.
Plus, this has a different chorus... - Mike Shinoda / LINKIN PARK

Primo [I'LL BE GONE - LONGFORM 2010 DEMO]

This song tells a great story that is just flat fun to sing. This also happens to be from a band that I was honored to see as my first concert in 1977 at Anaheim Stadium. Their plane crashed just a few weeks later and several band members perished, including lead singer Ronnie Van Zant.

Footloose - Blake Shelton

Jon Randall, one of the song's co-writers, had just divorced from country singer Lorrie Morgan before writing this song. In addition, he had lost a record deal, and had not been able to find a songwriting contract either. He found himself drinking whiskey regularly, and pursuing sexual desires. After seeing the condition that Randall was in at the time, his manager told him, "Hey man, every now and then you've got to put a bottle to your head and pull the trigger." 
Randall then wrote down that line, and decided to use it in a song. He then met Bill Anderson and began to write the song, which eventually made its way to Paisley. Randall himself also included a version on his 2005 album Walking Among the Living.

Lyrics

(Brad)
She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart, he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind,
Until the night.

Chorus: (Both)
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her 'til I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby.


(Alison)
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind,
Until the night.

Chorus: (Both)
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby.
