06/25/91 - Hammersmith Odeon Needs A Official Release

Listening to it now & it flat out out smokes!
One of the best from the Dickey & Warren era:
1) Medley: Don't Want You No More / It's Not My Cross to Bear
2) Statesboro Blues
3) Blue Sky
4) Low Down Dirty Mean
5) End of the Line
6) Loaded Dice
7) Southbound
8) Jessica
9) Good Clean Fun
10) Gambler's Roll
11) In Memory of Elizabeth Reed
12) One Way Out
13) Kind Of bird
14) Whipping Post
I read somewhere that it may have been recorded for TV broadcast.
Would make make for a sweet CD / DVD combo!

I was at that show and it was indeed an excellent one ... which in a way I think us limeys deserved given that the ABB only came to the UK three times in their entire forty five year history ...
To my knowledge, the show was not recorded for TV broadcast, it was only audio recorded by the BBC for radio broadcast, and the show that circulates is the FM recording of that show ...
You can tell that it is because of the edited version of "Kind of Bird" ... at the show they played the full version ... but in order to cut the show down to two radio broadcasts on consecutive weekends, each of one hour duration, they chopped the middle out of KOB so you just get the intro and the outro of that tune ...
As for an official release ... I think that unlikely given that the BBC have the masters ... assuming that they still do have them ... but you are right that it would be a good one given that it is one of the best from the Dickey / Warren / Woody era ...
