NOTES:
One of the nicest surprises to surface on Wolfgang’s Vault is this incomplete very good quality soundboard recording of George Harrison’s matinee show at the Forum on November 12, 1974. He played three shows over two days and no tape has surfaced for any of them. Not only is this the first tape to surface from the Los Angeles shows but is also the only professional soundboard recording from Harrison’s only US tour. The sound is a bit inconsistent from sounding muffled at the beginning of “Sue Me Sue You Blues” to clear and nicely balanced. It fades in at the beginning of “Hari’s On Tour (Express),” has a cut after “Cheparte,” and “Dispute And Violence,” and cuts out at 1:10 in “Tom Cat.”
Misterclaudel edit in the excellent sounding November 4 Seattle show for the rest of “Tom Cat,” “Maya Love,” “Nothing For Nothing,” “Dark Horse,” “Outa Space,” “What Is Life,” and “My Sweet Lord.” The edit in “Tom Cat” is very smooth and well done by the label.
During the first song Harrison actually speaks to the audience (something he usually didn’t do) by saying: “Good afternoon. Just got out of bed. This is called ‘Hari’s On Tour (Express).’ It’s an instrumental.” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” contains the “happy” smiling lyrics like “while my guitar tries to smile.” The horn section punctuates the beats and Harrison and Robben Ford have a good duel solo on guitar. “Something” is introduced as “one of my comedy numbers” and it’s apparent Harrison is having much difficulty singing in tune. He has Billy Preston helping out with the vocals. “Going Around In Circles” is the first of three Preston solo numbers and the first part of the show ends with “Sue Me Sue You Blues.”
