TEB's 1989 concert at the London Club Dog available for free downloading in the Net!


Thanks a meritorious blog called "Head Duster" we can get for free downloading the full concert TEB played at the London Club Dog "one chilly December night" of 1989.
Apart the bad introduction of the band taken from the Web (where the TEB "was originated from Canterbury"...!?), the blog's editor writes: "This tape was recorded at Club Dog @ the Sir George Robey pub, Finsbury Park, London on 15th December 1989 (the very gig on the flyer above). There are seven tunes included here, I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with the band to identify them. (Recording notes - 2xPZM microphones above rear of audience>cassette deck>chrome cassette>> cassette deck > PC > sound editor > spliced@41m10secs > 320kbps .mp3)".
 
As reported in December 2009 here (http://ghettoraga.blogspot.it/2009/12/tebs-tape-recordings-at-london-british.html) actually the tracks played that night was eight:
1. "Druid One" (Sweeney - Minns - Coff)
2. "Sun Ra Raga" (Sweeney - Carter - Black - Dobson)
3. "Live Ghosts" (Sweeney - Minns - Carter - Samuel)
4. "Solstice Song" (Sweeney - Carter - Black - Dobson)
5. "Behind the pyramids" (Sweeney - Carter - Black - Dobson)
6. "Book of the dead" (Sweeney - Minns - Coff)
7. improvisation 

8. "Third Ear Raga" (Sweeney - Carter - Black - Dobson)

The TEB line-up was:
Glen Sweeney – hand drums
Lyn Dobson – sax and flute
Mick Carter – electric guitar and effects 

Allen Samuel – violin

The original recording is available at the British Library - 96, Euston Road - St. Pancras - London NW1 2DB.

(Scraping the bottom of the barrell 4:) One unrealised 1989 live track of the Third Ear Band!


There's hardly anything left in my personal archive, but  searching better I've recently discovered one unrealised live track from the band, recorded in London at the end of Eighties.
Glen sent me a sampler of it with the indication "Dog Club" on the tape (see below), but the concert was probably that played at the "Sir George Robey" pub  on December 15th, 1989 as reported on this archive at the page http://ghettoraga.blogspot.com/2009/12/tebs-tape-recordings-at-london-british.html.

The line up, the same of the Vinci concert:
Glen Sweeney – hand drums
Lyn Dobson – sax and flute
Mick Carter – electric guitar and effects
Allen Samuel – violin

From the set played that night you can listen "The Book of the Dead" (no recordings of the other track quoted on the tape, "Midnight Drums"...) with Glen announcing it as "Necromancer".
All you have to do now is download this rare unexpected gemns at:
http://rapidshare.com/files/443983595/Book_of_the_Dead.mp3
and realize as great and powerful has been that line-up...
