How The West Was Won

[weiser <weiser@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tangerine Man,
of course they still had it in '79
They had it right up until the point Bonzo was gone.
The rest of them still have it, except Robert's voice is even more touchy than 
it used to be.

On a Garden Tapes slant,
that is really a painstaking and meticulously close examination Eddie. My 
thanks to you for 
your complete attention to minute detail.

I've really always liked LA Forum's OTHAFA so having the whole Long Beach 
version in there 
strikes me as a different slant. Sadly, I never got Long Beach. Now at this 
point I'd like 
to have the other two California Nights so I can go through the complete 
comparisons.
One could have really hoped that some version of Tangerine would be present on 
How the West 
Was Won.
I would have been very happy if Jimmy had kept his voice balanced in the mix 
for Whole Lotta 
Love, he sounds just fine to me. I always thought he was a bit amiss and too 
harsh on himself 
when it came to his personal assessment of his voice.
He has a beautiful speaking voice if nothing else, albeit a bit low in volume. 
I always cherish 
his Pageisms from the Dayton Outrider show. And as I keep trying to tell 
people, every once in 
a while when I think of it, please do yourselves a favor and don't cut off the 
in between song 
chatter. There are big stories in there for some of those cities.
What's the two songs I sing to myself when I need a few moments to get 
re-oriented? Friends and 
Tangerine. Go figure.

Um have a little what-if story coming up for those of you who might find 
yourselves on 34th 
street in your dreams or for real next Tuesday.
