ROB SEZ: You know a band is well loved when, 20+ years after their prime, someone buys their plane tickets to play at a modest size bar in Greece! Can't you just hear the guys pondering whether they should go? "Hmmm: should we spend a weekend in late October in Athens, or stay here in Scotland? Give us a minute..." Cheers to Bill Pos for recording and sharing the 2016 show, and special thanks to my friend & fellow Orchids fan EdA for supplying the 1991 set. If you glance at the Orchids' FB & Twitter posts from 2016, the guys appear to be recording material for a new album — but they don't seem to be in a big hurry. There are more Orchids goodies around here; just use the Labels tags at the bottom of the post or Artists/Groups index at the right-hand side of the blog to find 'em.
Thanks for more Orchids!
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on your 5 year anniversary....that is quite an achievement. I don't know how you do it.
Five-year anniversary? Oh yeah, I guess it is!
DeleteThanks, lucky.
I don't know why but I can't download from dropbox, I can access the site, I press on download but nothing happens. I tried to copy the file to my own dropbox account and nothing, same result. Could it be possible to upload this to Google Drive or somewhere else? I'd really love to listen to this, the sample sounds great.
DeleteSo sorry to hear about your trouble with the link.
DeleteI just re-tested it and it worked fine for me.
I recommend you try it one more time: there's often a few moments before the download begins. Also, you might copy the link, open a different kind of browser, and see if it works for you in Explorer, Safari, Chrome or Firefox.
Good luck!
thanks for the nice words, always a pleasure and the Tiki bar is a special venue, john
