John Lennon - It's Hard To Be Butterflies (Barrier) [SBD]



John Lennon - It's Hard To Be Butterflies (2CD)
(2000 Barrier : BAR007/8) 
1979-80 Double Fantasy & Milk And Honey 
    Demos, Outtakes and Alternates

Studio Soundboard Recordings
Encoded: FLAC & MP3@320 Kbps

Nearly all previously unbooted material and is really great. The title "It's Hard To Be Butterflies" comes from a comment John makes between takes. It's particularly interesting listening to all the chat between the takes and it's just like being a fly on the wall in the studio. It's funny when they are ordering dinner (Disc 2 Track 1 ) and John convinces the whole band to have SUSHI. 

Even though there are numerous takes of the song "I'm Stepping Out", it never becomes boring. John approaches each one in a different way by ad-libbing at the start and end. He seems to be really enjoying himself.

John Lennon & Frank Zappa - The Fillmore East 1971 [SBD]


John Lennon & Frank Zappa - The Fillmore East 1971
Lennon's Mix & Zappa's Mix
Live At The Fillmore East, New York, NY, USA 
Recorded June 5th, 1971

Soundboard Recordings
Encoded: 320 Kbps MP3


It still stands as John Lennon's most daring live performance. The night he and Yoko Ono stepped onstage with Frank Zappa's Mothers during one of the final shows of the Fillmore East, 1971. Lennon released the tapes on 'Sometime in New York City' in 1972. Zappa re-edited the material 20 years later for 'Playground Psychotics'. 

Both mixes differ and have their own strengths. But either version of Lennon & The Mothers' opening cover, the Cavern Club-era "Well (Baby Please Don't Go)," is simply one of John Lennon's finest live recordings. Yoko detractors routinely dismiss this entire show because of her equal presence. Instead... it might be her shining hour, marked by her effective timing, fearless vocal punctuation and 2-ton balls - a requirement for live avant-garde. It would be decades before Sonic Youth and Yamatsuka Eye would make this show's raw guitar feedback and genre-shattering vocals appear cool, though... this history witnessing crowd seemed to get it. Say what you will about the credibility of their experimentation's together, Lennon & Ono's antics introduced millions to their first taste ("Revolution #9") of anti-music.

Track List:
 LENNON'S MIX (Sometime In New York City 1972)
    Well (Baby Please Don't Go)   [Live](4:40)
    Jamrag                      [Live](5:36)
