Greeny live 1977-84
 

Ok, here's a new topic.
Here are the 80's live tapes of Greeny I have amassed:

05/12/82 MARKTHALLE, HAMBURG, ROCKPALAST (W. KOLORS) TV, A- 51
This is from the video tape we've been discussing. Not the whole show,
as all songs weren't broadcast. The playing is a bit weak at times but not bad
in my opinion. Stephan Rene plays second guitar.

BLACK MAGIC WOMAN/WORDS THAT BITE/ LOSER TWO TIMES/IN THE SKIES/CRYING WON'T BRING YOU BACK/MAKE IT RIGHT/GREEN MANALISHI/ALBATROSS

11/12/82 PALAIS, PARIS, FRANCE (W. KOLORS) AU, B+ 90 (2 cd-r)
From the same tour, but an audience tape of the complete set (the Rockpalast
gig had the same setlist).

FEELINGS/BLACK MAGIC WOMAN/WORDS THAT BITE/ LOSER TWO TIMES/WHITE BOY/IN THE SKIES/GIVE THANKS/CRYING WON'T BRING YOU BACK/MAKE IT RIGHT/GREEN MANALISHI/ALBATROSS/
EARTH GAMES/MAN OF THE WORLD

19/08/83 GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN (W. KOLORS) AU, B+ 86 (2 cd-r)
My favorite Kolors tape. He plays much better here, sounds like the Aria les paul.
Has a version of The supernatural. Mick Weaver/Spartacus/Stephan Rene/Jeff
Whittaker/Godfrey Maclean is the lineup.

??/??/84 OCEAN CLUB, CARDIFF, WALES (W. KOLORS) SB, A- 74
This was first listed as 1981, but is definitely 1984 or late 1983 given the lineup and
the lesser quality of Peter's playing. Line up is Alfred Bannerman (gi), Jeff Whittaker,
Gregg Terry-Short (dms), Emmanuel Rentzos (keyb) and Will Bath (bs).
Bannerman takes most of the solos. Bannerman, Rentzos are from the group Osibisa.

CREEPIN' IN THE SHADOWS/PRUD PINTO/WHITE SKY/CRYING WON'T BRING YOU BACK/LOVE THAT BURNS/MAN OF THE WORLD/
OH WELL/BLACK MAGIC WOMAN/ALBATROSS/GREEN MANALISHI

22/08/84 MODERNA MUSEET, STOCKHOLM (W. KOLORS) FM, A- 40
Gereeny's in bad shape. Still interesting. Same linep as above.

??/12/84 SCHWIMMBAD MUSICCLUB, HEIDELBERG, GERMANY (W. KOLORS) AU, B+ 45
From the bootleg "in the ruins". Probably has the worst playing of all gigs.

15/12/84 STUTTGART, GERMANY (W. KOLORS) AU, B+ 113 (2 cd-r) (inc. "big boy now")
A long show that has better playing, but Greeny's guitar sound (as on all 1984 gigs) is
very clean, totally unlike Gothenburg 1983 and F. Mac-era. The only live version
of "Big boy now". Got this from dansven, thanks :xoxo:

So now I'm feverishly anticipating reports of any other tapes!
I have never seen a tape of the late '70s pub concerts that Snowy White took part in,
the same with the shows from 1981 with the "White sky" band.

Dino, this is the list of shows I've got on cdr (several also from dansven!):

Ocean Club, Cardiff, Wales 1981 A-
Palais, Paris 11/12/82 (2 discs) B-
Grugahalle, Essen 11/24/82 B-
Gothenburg, Sweden 8/19/83 (2 discs) B+/A-
Moderna Museet, Stockholm 8/22/84 A
Heidelberg, Germany 1985 B

Thanks for the detailed info on those shows and on the date correction for the Cardiff show, I'll have to change that. I'm guessing the Heidelberg show is the same one you list - mine is the bootleg often titled "Gravedigger". And it does seem like the '82 show you list as Hamburg may well be the same one as the one listed above as Essen (as Wouter also suggested on the "Long Nails" thread). So probably nothing on my list that you don't have. I've never heard of any late '70s live recordings, but maybe one will come to light one of these days!

...which I got from Dino! :laugh:


And thanks to you too, Dino and Sharksfan!! :thumbsup:

I've ordered the Changes DVD with Peter at TOTP with Heavy Heart, but I understand that it is just a playback performance.. :shrug:

That is funny about those recordings, Daniel!

I got the Changes DVD earlier this year - that's correct that "Heavy Heart" is not played live. Peter doesn't really seem to be into the "performance" but it's still interesting to watch, since I don't know of any other video of Peter from the early '70s. If I remember correctly, there are also a couple of Green-era Mac performances that are not on the Early Years video, and a very entertaining Mac TV performance from '74 (really funny to watch Bob Welch's glasses keep sliding down his nose!).

Thanks for the info, Sharksfan! I'm looking forward to see it!
