    Thanks for another great recording riccardo - unfortunately I am unable to help with the date, although sometimes two concerts were held on the same day (afternoon and evening for example)

    A Rome afternoon concert and then Middleheim (Antwerp) in the evening would be pretty unlikely. The date for this and the Rome concert are probably wrong. This same quintet recorded 'Variations' for Moers on August 15 in Dusseldorf. The following day [August 16] in the same studio, Carter made his spellbinding solo clarinet 'Suite of Early American Folk Pieces' record.
    August 1979 [sometime]is almost certainly right though.
    But never mind the dry details - what music !! . .
    Thank you riccardo. I shall always hold you in the highest esteem.
    It's a thrill.

    i think the Middleheim date is correct (only 200 km from Antwerp to Düsseldorf), probably the Roman date is 17/18.

    Recorded a whole album on the 15th, and another on the 16th in Dusseldorf, travelled 2+ hrs to Antwerp, played the gig that night. Next night on to Rome..
    It's possible.. Brutal workload though

    I had another listen (properly).
    Riccardo, this is the same gig as the 'Rome' one!
    This version has a little more of Carter's announcements - like the pre-amble to Woodman's Hall Blues.
    And the noise-reduction used here creates a 'congested' sort of sound.
    But the music is exactly the same.
    From the accent of the MC at the start, I think Antwerp, not Roma..
    Rough sound - great gig

    @ serviceton

    you're right!
    i may only add that the "Roman
    version" is a 5% too fast.
    In any case your comment prove
    that sometime, someone listen
    carefully to our posts.

    Here you go. Don't ask about the 3 separate links - Rapidshare acting screwy, it wouldn't go back up as one..

    David, you asked for re-posts of this concert as well as the "other concert" of John Carter's group - listed here on Inconstant Sol as being from Rome.
    As per the comments further up the page from 2011, there was no Rome concert on or around this date. This Middelheim concert here is the exact same performance also posted on the 'John Carter Quintet - Live in Rome '79' post.

    This version of the performance has correct pitch, longer stage announcements, and noticeable noise suppression applied (unfortunately)

    Had to give up on 1Fichier - dropout after dropout. Here's a Mega link.
