I've heard on a radio that a tape containing a live exhibition of a band I havan't caught the name taken in 1972 has been purchased for 5K$ by a label. They don't say when, but this year it will be released on CD. It contains three Syd Barrett's previously unreleased songs (they say never listened before). Barrett was just a guest on that night, anyway I assume that the songs they mention are not Scream Thy Last Scream or Vegetable Man. I'll see if I can find more info. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

I think it's this: 1972-01-27 Last Minute Put Together Boogie Band gig, Corn Exchange, Cambridge (Syd - guitar, Jack Monck - bass, Twink - drums, Fred Frith - guitar, Bruce Paine - vocals & guitar) ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie.

According to David Parker's excellent and relentlessly detailed record of Syd's work, Barrett played 4-5 shows (the last unconfirmed) in January and February 1972, at 3 locations all in Cambridge. There is no set list for the 1/27 show. However, on 2/24 he played his last confirmed gig at Corn Exchange with Monck and Twink as part of a group dubbed "Stars." The set list for this show was: Octopus, Dark Globe, Baby Lemonade, Waving my Arms in the Air, Lucifer Sam, Blues Jam 1 and Blues Jam 2. Parker notes the mention of a second gig on 2/26 but couldn't confirm it, thus he concludes the one above may have been the last show. ------------- ...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell" |

Reading the name, Last Minute Put Together Boogie Band is what the radio mentioned. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Yes, which is some of the same guys as Stars...Monck and Twink were in all of the Jan/Feb gigs...there was a different 2nd guitar in some of them.

Mmm... if the songs were recorded live, then they can't be "never listened before". |

Good point. Probably the speaker knows me and was meaning "never listened before by me"  ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |
