Western Springs, New Zealand 1972 Note: Although Ollie's 'Beatnik' beard dates this photo correctly, he has the same jacket he wore onstage with Boxer some 4 years later. Maybe he picked it up in there!
Rather disturbing photo of Joe Cocker under arrest in Melbourne during the tour. Thanks to Buda. [The picture that is, not the arrest!]

Live in Munich Dreadful sound quality. Virtually unlistenable Piper 2000, Viarreggio, Italy
Recording coutesy of Francesco Malfatti Stockholm
Thanks to Anders Ohman and Erik Amkoff for this remarkable recording from a tour supporting Ten Years After - Alvin Lee had the unenviable task of trying to follow this every night!. Oberrheinhalle, Offenburg
1971 Newly discovered version of a concert recording previously thought to been made in Italy, The overall sound on this one is still quite poor but Ollie's guitar is distinct and quite stunning in places. Many thanks to David Osbiston for supplying this vastly improved addition to the Archive, and to Marc Bouhier for identifying the venue [probably!]. The Wake Arms
San Antone Fair quality live recording - you can actually hear the bass! Rare outing for The Admiral's unique renderings of 50's 'doo wop' classics. Totally manic guitar on Hold Your Fire and an extraordinary, unidentified 25 minute [!] composition with Mike on piano. Recording not available for trade |
Can You Hear Me Johann? Entitled after Mike's impassioned cry to the roadie during the opening track. Best recording from these unreleased European shows. Halsey notably acknowledges the audience's 'appreciation' with the epilogue "Thank you and goodnight you miserable load of bastards, thank you! Live in Germany Dreadful sound quality. Virtually unlistenable
The Torrington Intro [Soley Soley] + Gary Windo [sax] Essential listening because it is one of only two remaining complete performances and includes much of the sheer lunacy that was Patto. Appalling quality recording via [John Halsey's] portable cassette recorder, but somehow it works. Don't You Rock Me! Loud Green Song To be fully evaluated Not at all bad for a portable cassette recording. Essential content includes a skiffle sessionwith washboard solos from The Admiral. The Black Swan The Torrington
Hold Your Fire Essential listening because it is one of only two remaining complete performances and includes much of the sheer lunacy that was Patto. Appalling quality recording via Dictaphone, but somehow it works. |
