Another low generation tape that I got in trade.  This is likely a first generation from the master, but it's not written down on the cassette or my list.  It's short, a mere four songs, but the sound quality is great and there's not a heck of a lot of live Alex Chilton out there.

====================================

Yeah...but the real reason I rushed this post here was to give some credit to one of our readers, Rudolf.   

We've been looking into a Mellencamp promo CD that was only available in Canada:

John Mellencamp – The Garage Tapes Live in The Studio (1992, CD) - Discogs

Is it real or counterfeit?  Was there a U.S. issue?  You know...the usual obsessive collector stuff that we do here.

Well, Rudolf dug deep....

So...here's what we think we know:

The Garage Tapes Live In The Studio was hosted by Q102 (Dallas, TX) disk jockey Redbeard.  Redbeard also hosted the syndicated interview show In The Studio. This "Garage Tapes" show was distributed by the Album Network and officially issued as a promo in Canada.

There are several bootlegs on Discogs, including "John's Garage Tape (Unbelievable Music UM 002) and Live Rehearsals (Kiss The Stone KTS 090).  Both include 11 tracks from the Garage Tapes show, plus two acoustic songs (Pink Houses, Small Town), and two tracks from the 1982 KBFH show.  A third bootleg Welcome To The Garage (Beech Marten Records BM 068) has the Garage songs plus the two acoustic studio tracks, but drops the KBFH tracks and replaces it with a live version of "Like A Rolling Stone" recorded in 1988.

The two acoustic songs did not have an identified source on any of the three bootlegs.

Our reader, Rudolf, was exploring Redbeard's www.inthestudio.net website, which features tracks and interviews from a variety of sources. He found the two mystery songs are posted there, identified as being recorded on October 1, 1991, at Q102 in Dallas. Playing with Mr. Mellecamp are Mike Wanchic and Kenny Aronoff.  He took the time to compare them to the bootleg version, and they're defitinely the same tracks.

Another musical mystery solved!

Rudolf is hereby awarded a Voodoo Wagon No-Prize! Everywhere he goes, men will envy, and girls admire! Let's have a round of applause for Rudolph; he took the time to Scooby-Doo this so you can update your file tags with the correct dates.

Peter Tosh / Dominion Theatre, London Oct. 23, 1983

Peter Tosh
The Penthouse / Omni Magazine College Rock Concert CC 1016
LW's Limited Broadcast Week of January 22, 1984
Recorded live at the Dominion Theatre, London, UK on October 23, 1983

01 Intro - Pete Larkin and Richard Skinner
02 African
03 Coming In Hot
04 Not Gonna Give It Up
05 Where You Gonna Run
06 (You Gotta Walk And) Don't Look Back
07 Break
08 Glass House
09 Can't Blame The Youth/Dem Ha Fe Get a Beatin'/Babylon Queendom (Medley)
10 Johnny B. Goode
11 Mama Africa
12 Outro

Coming In Hot is listed on the cue sheet as Firing The Shot.

One of the songs was originally issued with two different names, it's Don't Blame The Youth, or Can't Blame The Youth.

A sharp-eyed reader spotted that this track (9) is actually a medley, and I've updated the track listing and retagged the files.  Or is that "sharp-eared?"  Either way, he picked up on the fact that the song is actually a medley of three songs: Can't Blame The Youth, Dem Ha Fe Get a Beatin', and Babylon Queendom.  I've retagged the file, updated the txt file, and uploaded it to reflect this new knowledge.

I'm awarding the very first Voodoo Wagon No-prize Award to Dan, for meritorious service to the cause of Voodoo Wagondom in catching my error.  The No-prize has no cash value, but is virtually priceless as it makes you the envy of everyone else in Our Beloved Audience.  

The run out grooves get groovy with:
COLLEGE ROCK CONCERT #1016-A CC84-2
COLLEGE ROCK CONCERT #1016-B CC84-2

This the same show as BBC In Concert 318 (issued on LP), and also Classic In Concert 39 (issued on CD)  Both of these were issued only to radio stations.  The CD had a booklet listing the band members.  I've included a scan I found on Discogs.com..

The LW releases are often one or two songs shorter than the BBC transcription discs, but this release is identical across all three releases (BBC In Concert, Classic In Concert, and this release).
The tracks were released in 2012 in Europe as a bonus disc on Peter Tosh 1978-1987, a 6 CD compilation of Bush Doctor, Mystic Man,  Wanted Dread and Alive, Mama Africa, No Nuclear War and Captured Live.  This set also featured a disc of alternative versions (extended mixes, single edits), and a disc with this previously unreleased Dominion show.  The show has never been issued in the USA.  Obviously...if you like this, go track down and buy a copy of 1978-1987.

The Penthouse/Omni Magazine College Concert was produced by London Wavelength for five months from September 11, 1983 to February 12, 1984.  The show ran every week, with a 3 week holiday break from late December to mid January. The numbering was sequential, running 1000, 1001, 1002...1019, for a total of 19 shows.  Most were concert broadcasts, but at least three were interviews interspersed with released studio tracks. Six were repeats of prior London Wavelength shows from the BBC Rock Hour.

Doesn't look like reggae or rock in roll, does it?
