Not like Mr Young, au contraire... err, wrong language... Probably my favorite musician, Uwe, and then some, I have a ridiculous collection of his musiclegit and collectors stuff, but nowhere near what it could be - his voice has that fractured quality that makes it so good, so honest - I only wish he would get on with his "archives" and can only live in hope that he relents and releases "Time Fades Away" - wore out a copy learning to play with my Grenn EB2 to this record - especially "Last Dance", and used to love to experiment on "The Bridge" - I keep meaning to do a transfer from my pristine Japanese copy - no means of playing at present, though...
I saw him last year too - classic Young, growing old with more grace than many musicians I can think of... He filmed the night I saw him at the Hammersmith (Odeon) Apollo, but no sign of that, probably "archived"...
If I had to choses a favorite of his that I will never hear played live by anybody, it would probably be "Expecting To Fly" played VERY LOUD PLEASE, just for the outro... and my other favorite of his is the other dark days lp, "Tonight's the Night", and then there is... you get the picture...
Gary, that squeak was probably caused by those guys from Akron...
Uwe...? Okay, he had his rather odd moments during touring with DP, but I have to stand-up in defence of Mr Hughes, pointing out how exceptional his voice was on CTTB (saw that line-up) and the utterly stunning "Hughes Thrall" album, and not forgetting the early Trapeze albums - admittedly the "Mars-bar" kid has faux-pas'd more than once or twice, but I love those recordings... no idea what he does these days...
