Lowell George - The Last Tour (Classic 1979 Broadcast)

"Recorded at the Listner Auditorium in Washington DC. George had recently separated from Little Feat and was touring to promote his solo LP Thanks I'll Eat It Here. This is the same venue that much of Waiting for Columbus was recorded at and was a favorite venue of Lowell George's. The next morning, George suffered a massive heart attack and passed away at the age of 34. This was Lowell George's final show."

That is quaint. In 1979 is was a "massive heart attack" while in 2016, it was a "heroin overdose." So much for truth in advertising. The sonic fidelity of this mp3 download is not that great. That in mind, it was my hope that this compact disc version would have improved this "FM Radio Broadcast" that sound suspiciously like an audience recording. However, in a phrase, it did not, and our lesson today, Pilgrims is caveat emptor and I could have recorded as good a disc in my bathtub with lighter fluid and a can of Spam.
