HEAP O’ THANKS to WFMU for their undying support of The deeBs, to the original taper, and to dB’s Fan for sharing
NOTE: As received, this was not a great-sounding tape (lots of hiss & a handful of dropouts). I used Audacity to make various improvements — and now it's a pretty decent listen. Someone else edited out the interview bits, which explains the brief, truncated comments prior to some of the songs.

ROB SEZ: Here's a rare and welcome opportunity to hear Peter in busking mode: just the man and his guitar. He covers a lot of ground, playing dB's tunes, rare solo material, old covers, and a very early version of "She Got Soul." Pretty sure I'd never before heard him sing the old Big Star chestnut that closes the set... ENJOY!

Fun set. Think #5 is an original?
ReplyDeleteYes. In fact, I have two other PH solo shows, both from 1985, in which he sings it.
DeleteOne of those shows was here at the blog a while back, but got spiked by Blogger when I received a DMCA take-down notice. I challenged the notice since PH sent explicit permission for the show to appear on the blog, but Google has never replied after repeated attempts to find out if I could re-post the show. Oh well...
