Torrent details for "Iggy Pop - Minneapolis 20 November 1979. AMAZING

This another one that was a pleasant surprise...one I've seeded on Dime, and now felt it should be heard here by any who have missed it so far. I feel the sound quality is amazing! Much of it sounds as good as - or even better than, the FM recordings from San Francisco and Los Angeles. New Values, One for My Baby I'd certainly include in that! On the technical side, this is a very good recording, but like with many recordings there were minor issues to iron out. The vocal - wandered from channel to channel a little, while I did do some re-balancing of the sound here and there, I couldn't do much about that. There is the sound of some CD rot (crackling) after I Wanna Be Your Dog in particular...thankfully this doesn't affect much of the rest of it. This sounds great overall...it's got that tension of a great Iggy show, and that "oh, to have been there!" feeling, and yet the recording is clear and powerful enough to feel you were!...Enjoy, a lot! I didn't think I'd find a show from this tour that would match the power of the LA 30th November show (the San Francisco recordings come veryclose of course), but this one seems to! "Jay's Longhorn Bar, most frequently referred to by patrons as The Longhorn has arguably been considered what constituted the nexus of the punk music scene in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and was located at 14 S. 5th Street in the downtown district of the city. Originally owned by Jay Berine with help from general manager/artist director/Musican Al Wodtke(Badfinger,KYX). The Longhorn became a legendary punk rock/hardcore punk venue. Bands that have played there include, but are not limited to:The Flamin oh's,Blondie, H�sker D�, The Replacements, The Suburbs, the Suicide Commandos, Naked Raygun, The Effigies, The Ramones, Lily Tomlin, The Plasmatics, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, The Police (on their first US tour) and many more. Before it was an established punk rock venue, the Longhorn hosted a thriving jazz scene. It was homebase for the progressive jazz group Natural Life and brought with it many national and international jazz acts. Chris Osgood, singer/guitarist of the Suicide Commandos, said about the Longhorn in the July/August 2005 issue of Magnet magazine: "The Longhorn was like CBGB in that it was a long bar with a low ceiling and the band was up on a riser at one end of the room.
