So amazing. thank you

The only thing I can be sad about regarding BBML is that they are wholly unique and singularly beautiful (much like the band Feathers who they share a harpist with). There can never be more than what we have of this magical moment in time, and that is alright. I feel that, if at some time in the mid-2000s our reality was reset or replaced by some maleficent demiurge, these folks made music to combat or, perhaps, always exist on the event horizon of a precipice over the dark abyss as a golden beacon to beckon us towards the beauty of the original emotional option: pure, unfettered bliss.

Cheers from a huge Basho fan down here in Eugene. This is an amazing recording- and from a very rare era of Basho to be documented live. I noticed in the Fahey companion video someone inquired about a FLAC version- could I make that request for this recording? Would be great to crank this alongside my old Basho vinyl. Thanks for posting!

Hi there, wonderful track! Any details about the first image? Thank you

I discovered Sister Terrell on my local radio at 3am What a beautiful time for the rising sun, sister:)

Thank you

Thank you!

John Fahey ♥️

thank you for uploading this! I love this band and there arent nearly enough recordings out there.

I went to D.C for a Fahey concert circa 1972, but he didn't show up. About 1994 I saw him and a small entourage in a 7-11 parking lot by King's Dominion amusement park near Richmond, VA. We parked next to their car. But I didn't recognize him at the time. Dang.

Thank you sincerely for uploading this. It’s mesmerising and beautiful. It’s just what I need. These performances remind me of an Australian trio called , ‘The Necks’ ? Upright bass, piano, drums. Instrumental long-form tracks. Mostly improvised I think. Started in Australia in the late 80’s early 90’s. Chris Abraham’s piano has a similar quality to this brilliant guitar playing.

..i am trippin✨️

Neither on of us was nearly old enough to have attended the Reed concert, but I have great memories, Steve, of sitting in your room in the ODB and copying your version of this reel-to-reel, which you found in the attic of the Reed library in, what, 1984? I still have my cassette version, in fact, which bears some sort of magic-marker "mystical" drawing that I thought would be worthy of Fahey's startling achievement. It helps that we spent so much time back then in the SU, where this concert had taken place--we knew well enough of the atmosphere!

Was blessed to attend some of his awesome early visits to Seattle in the '70's to the '90's. UofW, Blue Moon tavern, MOHAI, Seattle concert theatre, & finally the Backstage in '92.

i disagree about most of the bible. but a sister knows how to sing

Fantastic performance, I miss going to see these folks play so much. Always glad to have more BBML! Thanks for the upload.

Great tune!

Amazing. Thank you so much. There’s not enough of these guys. Their music rocks my world.

Incredible, hystoric, what can I say. Beautifull, and very, very special.

Robbie Basho!🔥♥️

This is good.

wow never knew he did birthday party live!

God bless you

This is fantastic! Thanks for uploading this. Is there a way to get a download link for this? I'd love a copy.

Thank you so much!!

So I was totally taken with Fahey's music and a student at Reed. I saw him twice on campus in those late 60's years, and can't recall which set was which. Anyhow, during his break I followed him into the bathroom and asked him about one of his compositions. He told me he was miserable because he was "on the wagon" and also constipated. He handed me out the chords to the song in question, written on toilet paper.

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you!

holy shit

wow where did you find this omg

🌱✨

this is incredible. thank you for this upload. this was recorded during the same year my favorite Fahey album was released, 'Days Have Gone By, Vol. 6', so he was in his prime, imo.

Both Basho and Fahey are invaluable national treasures of folk music. Maybe their influence and recognizement is not like that of Bob Dylan, but they truly deserves it.

The music, the story behind the existence of these recordings, just astounding. Thanks!

This is so fucking incredible holllly shit

Thank you for posting!

Thank you for putting a grin all the way around my head with this post! This version of The Great San Bernardino Birthday Party especially pleases me - there's one passage starting around 8:24 that on the studio album he plays through once, but here he roars through it twice, playing it with the fire it always needed - thank you so much!

What a treasure!

So great. Wish I had seen Basho and Fahey live.

So great to hear this stuff. Wish I had seen Basho and Fahey live.

This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Thx for this remarquable post on this unknown Fahey concert

Thanks. Always listening to Fahey.

This guy was the real deal. I have never heard of dude. I lived off 47th and Woodstock, and 54th and Henderson. I used to occasionally go to Reed to shoot some pool, I like the environment. I cannot believe a dude on this level was there, times have changed. It feels like 37th and Woodstock listening to this, like I am there, I see dude really took in the environment.
