LOSSLESS RE-POST
Odeon im alten E-Werk
Göppingen, Germany
June 27, 1998
soundboard recording (excellent sound quality; transfer from DAT master)
REPERCUSSION: Peter joined the Continental Drifters in the early 1990s after The dB's were kaput, and he stayed with the group until it disbanded circa 2003. While they were active, the Drifters recorded several of Peter's songs, so if you enjoy his singing and songwriting, those discs are definitely worth seeking out.

Lonetaper’s notes: BIG thanks to my dear brother-in-crime Real-O-Mind for sharing his incredible collection. This recording here comes directly from the "Men With Microphones" archive. This concert was recorded during their second European tour, Summer 1998. They performed, with an incredible joy of playing, a wide selection of their own songs, and also the cover songs showed their fine taste: starting and ending with a Richard Thompson tune, Gram Parsons, Crazy Horse, Henry Mancini, and a composition by Wayne Carson Thompson, a former hit song for Memphis pop music group of the late 1960s, the Box Tops...
THIS TORRENT IS DEDICATED TO ALL THE CONTINENTAL DRIFTERS... TO ROSARIA AND FRIEDER FROM "ODEON" & "Ratsche", HAPE, EDGAR & BERNIE and all involved... Big thanks to my wife, Mrs. Leo, for supporting and taking an active part in all my craziness... No animals were harmed in the making of this recording or during the mastering and transfer. This is "MWM 0109"
NOTE: Peter's compositions bear his initials in < >.
Cover tunes also have the name of the composer in < >.
I love that the show begins & ends with Richard Thompson tunes.

Anything with the name Peter Holsapple has to be good and this is no exception. I only met him briefly when simply saying thanks for playing Charlotte, but he was as genuine as his music!
ReplyDeleteIn a recent interview, Peter implied he was puzzled as to why dB's fans didn't seem to "get" the Continental Drifters' music. It's certainly not the same as The dB's alt-pop, but I still think it's good stuff!
