check out LAWYER'S HOSPITAL at >> https://firesigntheatrelegacy.com/media/media.php?item=lh-rv'
llanwydd: in fact I'm surprised how much of that show I remember
DJTweeny: fantastic :)
DJTweeny: do tell us, Llan...
SidFudd: So "Lawyer's Hospital" is an interesting question vis-a-vis a rerelease, isn't it?
SidFudd: There are the live performances, which are great
SidFudd: But it's so fragmented - we'd have to completely overhaul it
llanwydd: only recently I saw a clip from the gill boggs show with fst a few hours before they did the show at town hall
SidFudd: Or add a second album of extras
SidFudd: Of course a reissue of "Lawyer's Hospital" is complicated by the presence of the Jack Poet VW ads
cease: when can we buy this?
SidFudd: ...which we want to put on a SEPARATE ALBUM OF NOTHING BUT REAL FIRESIGN ADS
||||||||| Bill Sprawl pokes his head in through the window and shouts "MARCHING TO SHIBBOLETH! Click to order!"
Rufus_T_Firetween: ** read Llanwydd’s Review of “LAWYER’S HOSPITAL” at >> https://firesigntheatrelegacy.com/media/media.php?item=lh-rv
SidFudd: ...currently in the planning stages. Vinyl, friends and neighbors.
llanwydd: it wasn't till I saw that clip that I knew I had very nearly not gotten in to see it because it was sold out and I got the last ticket
cease: bummer
DJTweeny: very cool to hear about all the new projeccts
cease: not a good idea, taylor.
cease: not enough of a market for it, i fear
SidFudd: "Lawyer's Hospital" is something that always felt like a near-miss to me. Just too fragmented. What do y'all think?
shoes for the dead: vinyl will be cool
Elmer Ho: it's an artifact
llanwydd: as I remember I bought a ticket at the box office and later tried to get a better seat but the guy told me "you're lucky to get that. it was the last one"
Elmer Ho: both vinyl and LH
DJTweeny: I look at LH sort of like Pink Hotel, a compilation for work from a particular time period
shoes for the dead: haven't heard this much, is there a theme?
cease: taylor, you really thik there is a market for firesign ads?
llanwydd: I remember Ben Bland doing a trivia quiz. Miss Presky phoned in
SidFudd: There's definitely a market for a new Firesign record...and those Jack Poet VW ads are some of the best things they ever wrote
Rufus_T_Firetween: Here are the liner notes for LH, shoes >> https://firesigntheatrelegacy.com/media/media.php?item=lh-ln
Elmer Ho: Ben Bland is one of my very favorite FST characters
cease: I fear money willl be lost
llanwydd: Bland said, "No, Miss Presky. It wasn't Orca the Whale, it was Orson Welles"
Rufus_T_Firetween: "An early '80s collection of Firesign live performances, augmented by radio segments recorded for NPR and additional material from various sources."
llanwydd: "I can see how you might get confused about that"
Rufus_T_Firetween: as I said, I tend to compare it to Pink Hotel
Elmer Ho: very cool and all, but I do have reservations about vinyl...
llanwydd: while we were waiting for the show to start, me and a couple of other guys sang "Oh, Blinding Light" at the top of our lungs
llanwydd: one of those guys had a tape recorder
llanwydd: after the show was over I stood by the stage door with a bunch of other people
SidFudd: We have to put out SOME record, and it can't be a reissue of the Quad "Bozos", so...
llanwydd: while we were all standing in line an older couple went through the door and the guy looked PRECISELY like peter bergman except his hair on the side of his head was white
llanwydd: somebody in the line said those were bergman's parents
shoes for the dead: I would buy this on vinyl
cease: this kinda collaging is very much what i try to do;
cease: one would need a playing machine to hear the quad bozos
llanwydd: then another door opened and I could see the 4 guys walking around on the stage
cease: this is time travel stuff
llanwydd: I went in and got phil and phil's autographs
shoes for the dead: you mean to Bambi always cracks me up
llanwydd: I asked proctor "where do you get the name Firesign Theatre" and he told me the whole story
llanwydd: I actually didn't know up to then
llanwydd: he had a "Leo" pendant around his neck and he pulled it out of his shirt
Elmer Ho: "God Bless Vespuccia" playing in the background
Ralph: LOL
Ralph: gasping for air
DJTweeny: Austin did such an amazingly good Nixon
cease: air is good
llanwydd: many years later I saw the spot they did on the bill boggs show saying they were at town hall that night but you couldn't get in because it was sold out.
llanwydd: I got in!
shoes for the dead: good jod Llan
Elmer Ho: they're not nearly as funny with explicit language
DJTweeny: must have been a great show, Llan
llanwydd: shortly before the show I went to my first indian restaurant
llanwydd: I've loved curry ever since
DJTweeny: curry's good
llanwydd: I went by myself
cease: you think,elmer? when i met bergman, he said fuck all the time.
cease: i think he wanted to do so on the radio
llanwydd: I did an awful lot on the town that day before the show
Elmer Ho: well I say it too... but I still think it sounds out of place here
Ralph: actually i believe RMN had a bit of a foul mouth
cease: a bit?
Elmer Ho: yes Nixon used "strong language" - the redacted Watergate transcripts are hilarious with the "characterization omittted" and all that stuff
llanwydd: "expletive deleted". I remember all that
