더튠 The Tune (Live)
I made a lot of great musical discoveries from all over the world while doing the Global Elite Music Radio Podcast Supershow. One of my favorites was 더튠 The Tune.
Here is 더튠 The Tune live at “Club Positive ZERO, Seoul, 26 Sep. ‘Youth Song / Cancion Juvenil'.”

I don’t know a thing about this performance. Not a year. Not the setlist.
But, gosh-dang if it ain’t pretty and well worth a half hour of your time. “Seoul” (the first song) is one of my favorite songs and surely the prettiest song featuring song and desk bells you’ve ever heard, right?

Godspeed You! Black Emperor Live At Sojus (1998)
This music blog is a hobby. I do it because I enjoy sharing music. I’ve mentioned several times how much tape trading through the mail played an important role in my musical development. I’ve shared lots of live concerts that I was first exposed to during my tape-trading days.
Today we return to those roots and feature a show by Godspeed! You Black Emperor. 12.17.98. Live at Sojus, Monheim, Germany. This remains one of the most pristine live recordings I have come across. I don’t tape trade any more but this one always holds a special place in my memory. I vividly remember putting this on and writing a paper (with headphones on) in one of the seminary lobbies where I used to study.
I have also shared my personal giddiness every time one of these personally-memorable shows is already available online so that I don’t have to upload, label, and all that crap. This is one of my favorites.
Oh, and feel free to skip the “Intro.” Otherwise, Enjoy.
Setlist:
Intro
The Dead Flag Blues
Moya
World Police And Friendly Fire
She Dreamt She Was A Bulldozer, She Dreamt She Was Alone In An Empty Field -> String Loop Manufactured During Downpour”

Imagine a time when Sonic Youth was beamed into PBS stations covering 85% of the country.

So far we’ve featured sessions from Medeski Martin and Wood with DJ Logic, Phish, David, Byrne, and Beck.

Medeski Martin and Wood with DJ Logic Live: Sessions At West 54th
I still have this show on VHS.
I don’t have a VHS player.
Technically this doesn’t fall in the “I had this show via tape trading” category that a lot of things I post. I recorded this on to VHS directly from my faithful local PBS station. I remember watching it.
I don’t know if you remember, but Sessions at West 54th was a New York variation of Austin City Limits. Originally hosted by KCRW’s Chris Douridas, David Byrne took over hosting duties beginning of the second season while John Hiatt hosted the third season. Yes, PBS is that cool.
Enjoy:
I never took the time to write down a setlist but the Wikipedia blurb for this episode of the show (Season Two Episode 06 originally aired 08/14/98) lists:
Wiggly's Way
Coconut Boogaloo
Latin Shuffle
Enjoy.

Fela Kuti "Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense"
Fela’s website says this is what was happening in 1984:
“On 4 September, as Fela is about to board a plane from Lagos to New York to start a US tour, he is arrested on charges of currency smuggling. The Afrika 70 musicians board the plane, believing Fela will be allowed to follow on a later flight. Instead, Fela is held pending trial.”
“The band plays a few US gigs then, with no sign of Fela, returns to Nigeria. In court, Fela explains that he declared the £1,600 found on him on a Customs Declaration form, but – to widespread disbelief - the police say that this has been “lost.” Customs officials who offer to testify that Fela is telling the truth are held in detention and so are unable to appear in court. Fela is sentenced to five years. First held in Kiri-Kiri Prison in Lagos, he is then moved to one further away, in Maiduguiri in the north of the country. Femi and Egypt 80 continue to perform at the Shrine.”
