i didnt mean exchange rates, have you been to the states and noticed something costing, say, $40, if available over here will set you back £40 but even at £33 + possible customs charges it's at least £21 + possible customs charges too much |

I've waited years for a deluxe version of Shoot Out The Lights. Of course it would have to include the Rafferty sessions and 'Living in Luxury' as an absolute bare minimum requirement. It would also have to retail at around twelve quid, or a bit more if they put some effort into the packaging.
This fails on almost every level.
At forty quid (it'll actually be more than this with customs charges), I'd expect at least four discs and possibly a dvd.
Think I'll stick with the Japan import which at least includes 'Living in Luxury'.

I didn't know Linda had failed to show for one of the gigs. Times must have been very edgy indeed! Jules |

According to Joe Boyd, after he witnessed Linda singing "the show of her life" at The Roxy in LA, he quickly decided to record the next two (which were the final two) shows. But after The Roxy, Linda collapsed and was looked after by Linda Ronstadt which was why she missed Santa Cruz.

I knew about the collapse and Linda R, but didn't know she missed a show.

Just checked Heylin's book & it doesn't list any west coast dates for R< on that tour, but does note 2 dates (Detroit, 27/05/82 & Catalyst, Santa Cruz 04/06/82) as just RT+band, the latter date enigmatically notes "plus fiddle-player", who isn't named. The set list for the Catalyst includes "Sloth", which also featured on some of the east coast dates, but can't remember which until I dig the tapes out of the bunker. So, it looks as if Linda missed at least two dates & presumably there were other west coast shows other than Santa Cruz & GAMH. Is there a definitive list out there?

Funny how they were treated as 2 separate shows in the US. We just have the 1st and 2nd half in the UK with an interval in between.

"The band, meanwhile, kept their heads down and amazed the Yanks with their precision and power. Richard was his usual genius self, only more so" Absolutely correct, the power on those 2 gigs is phenominal  |
