Thank you very much! You made my Friday night. I'm a long time MC fan, and didn't have either of these shows. "Don't Disappear" is a forgotten gem he hasn't played in years. I would love to hear any more Marshall that you come across!
ReplyDeleteWill keep this in mind, friend.
DeleteDid you see the MC show from My Father's Place, 1982 that I posted earlier at the blog? Anyway, I don't doubt I will post more from him somewhere down the line...
Yes I did get the '82 show also. I'm also the one who identified the Elvis tune, "Got A Lot Of Livin' To Do".
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for this for this. I have an old cassette dub of the 1991 Mountain Stage show and had despaired of ever getting it to digital form in any sort of shape. This Mersey-style take on "You're My Favorite Waste Of Time" still stands for me as the definitive version.
ReplyDeleteHey, Seven Years: welcome aboard. I can totally hear why you'd want to preserve the '91 set. It smokes (and I think mitch's 3-song set is pretty fab also). Will listen again to "Favorite" with your comment in mind...
DeleteThank you for this! I had the more recent show already, but had never seen the 1991 Mountain View show. Many cheers!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Geoffrey. Pretty sure I snagged parts of this post from the Mountain Stage archives, before they disappeared from the web.
