Gene Clark and The Firebyrds – Live At The Rocking Horse Café 1985 (with soundcheck)

Gene Clark and The Firebyrds – Live At The Rocking Horse Café 1985

The Rocking Horse Café, Hartford, Connecticut – January 13th, 1985

Michael Clarke (drums)
Mike Hardwick (pedal steel guitar)
Paul Nigro (saxophone)
Jack Carchio (lead guitar)
Burt ??? (rhythm guitar)
Tom Reinhardt (?) (bass)

THIS CONCERT HAS BEEN POSTED HERE BEFORE, BUT THIS VERSION HAS THE PREVIOUSLY UNHEARD SOUNDCHECK INCLUDED.

Al Bershaw writes:

« Gene and Mike were traveling on this 'tour' with pedal steel player Mike Hardwick only. They were literally throwing together bands when possible by just partying with local musicians and 'winging' it, so to speak. On this date, I assisted them in putting together this band, and rehearsals were done in my basement.
Other personnel on this date were friends from various local bands that jumped at the chance to play with Gene. The Firebyrds on this gig were: Jack Carchio - lead electric guitar (from the band China Doll), Burt ???? - rhythm electric guitar (from Linda & The Loveletters), Tom ??? - bass (from Haiku), Paul Nigro - sax (from Mr Big - he was a very respected and talented Connecticut musician. Sadly, he committed suicide a week or two after this gig. This was his last public performance), Gene Clark - vocals & acoustic guitar, Mike Clarke - drums, Mike Hardwick - pedal steel guitar ».

Problem?

Please, anyone who has downloaded and listened to the Doelen 1971-05-14 concert, let me know if everything went OK.

The statistics sent to me by the filehost shows ZERO downloads for this specific file so I'm wondering how reliable they are...

Thank you.
