REVIEW: |
This final
volume combines 2 shows which circulated with the consideration that Ron Wood
was present on the recordings, however a close and attentive listening suggests
that no guitar note can be attributed to him! So either Ronnie was not present
that evening, or he did not play on the recorded tracks. Since these shows
usually circulated with the others used in this series and because some time was
spent checking and arranging them, it was decided to post them anyway in this
additional volume.
On Disc One just Johnny Copeland (who was Shemekia s father) is the only known
musician, he played guitar and sang, presenting his trademark Texas blues licks
accompanied by many trusted fellow musicians. This recording is quite good and
enjoyable, too bad Ron Wood didn t join him on stage this time.
On Disc Two
the line-up is Ray Charles on vocals and piano and The Raelets on backing vocals
plus other unknown musicians; this is a good recording too, but the music
played is quite distant from Ron Wood style and there is no surprise he did not
take part to it on stage.
All available versions were coming from the same recording, so it was just a
matter of amplifying the volume and reworking songs transitions.
Missing
shows from Woody s on the Beach: 19 Dec.87 (Bo Diddley), 7&8 Jan, 88 (Mick Taylor),
10 Jan.88 (Spice Roots), 13 Jan.88 (Billy Preston), 15 Jan. 88 (Big Bang), 12
Feb.88 (Gypsy Queen),
31 March-1 April
88 (Buddy Guy), 6 April 88 (Ron Wood Orchestra), 7 Sept.88 (Clarence Gatemouth
Brown), 29 Sept.88 (James Cotton), 2 Nov.88 (Ray Charles), 8/9 Nov.88 (Jerry
Lee Lewis with D.Bowie in the audience the 2nd night), 23 Nov.88
(Fishbone) 25&26 Jan.89 (Don Covay), 3 Feb.89 (Nuclear Valdez & Jane s
Addiction), 31 March 89 (Melissa Etheridge).
It is
unknown if Ron Wood recorded the shows that were hosted in his club, they would
be a nice collection of live recordings, possibly on demand, a small music who
s who for the late 80s that could certainly arise interest in music collectors
and solve the unanswered questions about them we have today, let s just hope
that someday….
