Hello, I'm back again. Other things to do, some trouble with my internet provider, such were things that kept me from posting.My first "new" post is a fantastic live performance by the great John Cale from March 7th 1983 in the Markthalle in Hamburg. Just him solo with his guitar and piano, very intense, but also very charming as he was in pretty good mood, joked with the audience and seemed to have a good time himself. Until then I had only heard very little by John Cale, but after this concert I was hooked. I have seen him a few times since then, mostly solo but 2003 he played a free open-air in Oldenburg with a band.
The sound quality is pretty good as it was later broadcasted on NDR 2.

The second post is a performance John Cale gave in the studios of BFBS in Cologne on February 5th 1984 in Alan Bangs' show Nightflight. It's not the complete show, only a few songs, among them also a Jonathan Richman song and "Song to the siren" by This Mortal Coil (played on 33rpm!), but that's what was on the tape.

Tracklists are in the comments!
Looking through my CD archive I found another live recording by John Cale: Fragments of a rainy season. This was released 1992 by Hannibal/Rykodisk. I don't
know when and where it was recorded, but there also is a DVD of the same title but with a different tracklist...The sound quality is perfect. This time I encoded the files with mp3pro at 96 kbps, so don't be worried when you see that rate.

Danke!
Das BFBS-Solokonzert hat magische Momente.
Any chance of a re-up so I can finish downloading this superb performance?
Many thanks,
Mr Ray
(I've been looking everyday since you left, and listened again and again to The Smiths'live.)
John Cale is always better in his solo performances. (Oh, the second link still seems to be invalid, I'm afraid you will have to re-re-up.)
Jorg is a man's best friend !

The first bootleg is slowed down. The speed can be fixed by using a freeware program called "Audacity".
Will be learning how to use it as I fix this one, and a Leonard Cohen bootleg that is too fast!
