I'm beginning to see what you mean about this Euro issue. The US issue was relatively easy for me to track down, starting with a September 1999 date in Schwann, and then finding September 7th as the issue day in the September 1999 issue of the ICE Newsletter. UK and Europe is a bit harder, though, as Amazon UK lists this twice with two different dates (November 23 1999 and April 16 2000), whereas Amazon Germany has both November 22 and November 23 1999. Unfortunately the 1998 edition (18) of the R.E.D. CD Catalogue from the UK seems to have been the last one, and it seems that Universal Music in Australia decided against issuing this collection, as it didn't get listed in the Platterlog catalogue here (perhaps they were satisfied with THE LONG VOYAGE HOME 4CD box, and the ESSENTIAL COLLECTION on Karussell). My feeling is that one of those November 1999 dates is probably the right one, but I'd like another source or two to confirm it. Maybe it was reviewed in one of the UK music magazines (Mojo, Q, Record Collector), but they're in my garage at the moment and a bit hard to get at!
Once again, if this catalogue number originated in 1999, as it appears that it did from the copyright date and the Discogs entries, then 1999 is the date we use here. Unlike Discogs, this site lists all pressings for the same catalogue number in the same country/region under one entry.
June 1st, 1969, St. Louis, MO - Concert @ the Kiel Auditorium - Joe Cocker w/ Grease Band, Led Zeppelin, The Who - not bad, eh?
Two of my friends and I were there - Cocker does a great job - Zeppelin is a no show - and The Who play for 45 minutes - we are ticked off
except my freind, our driver @ age 16 and who is named Dave Clark, gets one of Keith Moon's drumsticks when he tosses into the audience.
We decide to follow the first limo we see leave Kiel - it drives to an Holiday Inn across from Union Station - damn, if The Who don't
exit the limo.
We follow them to the elevator and watch them take it to certain floor.
Two or three gorgeous girls are standing next to us waiting forthe elevator to return to the ground floor - the door opens - we all get on the lift
- the girls know which button to push - the evelvator door open's at the appropriate floor and damned if there aren't two huge blokes standing there
- they simply say "girls c'mon - guys sorry".
We head home - with that memory. I was 15 years old.
