THE MUSIC AND PRESTON BLACK The Band, Complete King Biscuit Flower Hour, Carter Baron Amphitheatre, Washington DC, July 17, 1976


From THE DEVIL AND PRESTON BLACK:

    Jamie hemmed and hawed with his gear, speaking without looking at the old lady like he didn't want to call attention to her error, "I'm sorry. May, this is a friend of mine. I'm not sure you do know him." He unloaded jars of jam and a few books from his bag and laid them across the table.
    May said, "I feel like I should." She stood behind me with her hands on my shoulders, holding me into the chair.
    "Well then, this is Preston Black, he's from town."
    She pulled her hands from my shoulders and took a step back. She wiped her hands in her apron. "Well, I recon I don't know him then."
    I stood up to shake her hand, but she responded weakly, like I owed her money. "You know the song?" I asked.
    "I heard it but I don't know it." She drowned a battered teapot in the stream of spring water that dripped from the spigot. "But that song ain't of no account and you can honor my hospitality by not asking no more about it."


Buy the book on Amazon.

Who doesn't love a good devil song?

I picked up my bag, I went looking for a place to hide;
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walking side by side.
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown."
She said, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around."

The new Last Waltz booklet indicates the DC show date was actually 16 August 1976 (see page 1 of the booklet). The PreFM copy that I have has this setlist, which is not the entire show, but everything that King Biscuit broadcast (from PreFM sources including reels, which is how the Biscuit used to get sent out)
I write:
However this date is known to be incorrect, the recording was most likely made on 17 July 1976

THE MUSIC AND PRESTON BLACK The Civil Wars, Live In Session On KCRW FM 2011-06-15


Not a new favorite, but I'm loving this show. Real singer/songwriters, and Joy Williams has an amazing voice. The show is crystal-clear, straight from the KCRW broadcast. Sounds like they're playing in your living room. And a Jackson 5 cover!

WIKI:

The Civil Wars is an indie folk duo composed of singer-songwriters Joy Williams and John Paul White. The duo met during a Nashville, Tennesee songwriting session and formed The Civil Wars. They gained national exposure when their song "Poison and Wine" was played on an episode of Grey's Anatomy in late 2009. The band got a boost when Taylor Swift tweeted about them in late 2010. During that period, their music video for Barton Hollow was added to the rotation at VH1 and CMT. The Civil Wars catalog includes a download-only album called Live at Eddie's Attic, an EP called Poison & Wine and a studio album titled Barton Hollow.

I watched this set and was very impressed with Mumford and Sons. They're one of those bands you have to see live to appreciate. I'm so glad willsfc taped this one, especially after seeing the "Amazing Grace" encore. I hear there were 19 musicians on stage. I was excited about seeing Apache Relay up there because they just played our town about two weeks ago.

enjoy!
