The sound quality is unacceptably poor for 1978.
I'm Nightfly, and it's been my pleasure re-upping them old Freezer recordings over at Dime and Trader's Den. Some good stuff there, for sure. Get it while it's hot.Quote

There are quite a few good 1970s Louisiana recordings upped on Dime by Nightfly recently: Clapton, The Who, Yes, Bowie, Elton, more.
Is Freezer's Delight in StonesVault?

Yes, the late Mr Parr didn't share out all his goodies...as Miles would say, so what? Let's be grateful for what we DO have from his collection and leave it at that, shall we? We might have only got a smidge of Freezer's collection, but like I say I probably still have more Freezer recordings in my vast collection than any other taper- even Millard, Lampinski etc.

Ugh, kiss yer own dolphin, Eric, I'd rather listen to Freezer's tapes.Quote

Yes let's be friends and pray, and maybe kiss a dolphin?
Or to be frank: the MM collections, they suck. Even the Baton Rouge Bowie 1978 do suck. And Baton Rouge 75.

To be fair, Mike Millard probably was a mess. His mental issues, for lack of a better term, have been well documented over the years. Not, mind ya, that given some of his own tactics, Art Parr was a modicum of sanity and rational behaviour at all times, either...I liked the guy, never had any issues with him personally in our few communications, but I also figured Freezer was crazier than a s--thouse rat, in both good and bad ways...Quote

What I fail to understand is why Parr felt the need to diss Millard. When he was in L.A. he met the West Coast taper and years after, on the TTD forum all he could remember is that Millard was "a mess".
I sorta get the idea Freezer liked the idea of being pretty much the ONLY guy taping in the NOLA/Red Stick area for many years until young upstarts came along in the late 70's to steal some of his thunder. Then he got pissy as he usually did whenever his perceived supremacy was challenged.Quote

Jealousy? That brings us to the Clash 1982 Warehouse gig... Parr couldn't fathom somone else might have taped the show (with great results btw) so he blew a fuse and simply refused to circulate his own tape... Jealousy again?
