Р.S. Вообще, я к "ONE TO ONE" отношусь очень трепетно. Ведь это по сути одно полноценное живое выступление Джона такого уровня, ну и конечно потому, что Elephant's Memory Band, тут просто на высоте, особенно Стэн Бронстайн, он просто свирепствует со своим саксофоном!!!

Rehearsals at S.I.R. Studios, 21/22 August 1972

На этом бутлеге представлены материалы репетиций Джона Леннона и группы Elephant's Memory Band, непосредственно перед концертом "ONE TO ONE".

Первые 10 вещей с диска SIR John Winston Ono Lennon - это репетиции их Some Time In N.Y. City Sessions (February-March 1972), а последние четыре вещи - One To One Rehearsals - 21 august 1972.

Это даже ещё круче, так как материалов по Some Time In N.Y. City Sessions почти толком нет, это издание имеет ещё большую ценность, для настоящих ценителей творчества Джона !!!

Для того чтобы собрать полностью два концерта One To One одного диска "One To One Concert"(Zeus) недостаточно.

Для дневного нужно собрать -
1. "One To One Concert"(Zeus)
2. VHS Live In N.Y. City
3. Live In N.Y.City (official)

Бутлег "SIR John Winston Ono Lennon" я слышал. Что я могу сказать- это образец того, как надо играть рок-н-ролл. Просто ошеломительный драйв!
Концертник "Live In New York City" является одним из моих любимых альбомов в рок-музыке вообще (Наряду с концертниками Заппы и "The Song Remains The Same" Led Zeppelin). На одном из форумов я уже писал об этом. Группа там действительно на высоте- и Тэкс Гэбриэл с филигранно сыгранными пассажами, и Стэн Бронстайн, готовый разнести всех своим саксофоном, и дуэт барабанщиков Рика Фрэнка и Джима Келтнера, и дуэт басистов (просто сдвоенная ритм-секция), но и конечно же сам Джон поет потрясающе, с умопомрачительным драйвом! То есть это не сольное выступление Джона с Йоко- это выступление группы "Plastic Ono Elephants Memory Band"!
У меня есть видео этого концерта на VHS, а существует ло это видео на DVD? (Торонто я встречал на DVD, а этот нет)

На DVD нет

А репетиции к Sometime In N.Y. City есть только на выше указанном SIR John ..., After The Remember (Woman Is The Nigger Of The World) и Another Flaming Pie (Attica State) и все.

На каком-то американском сайте я вычитал, что Wayne (Tex) Gabriel играл на гитаре на альбоме человека по имени Mitch Ride в 1978 году. Никто не знает кто это такой?

Может быть речь идет о Mitch Ryder ?

Вполне возможно, что и Mitch Ryder. Просто я эту информацию видел давно и помню лишь фрагментально.
Lemon Lennon- и еще: те диски Elephants Memory, которые Вы приводили- это как я понял ВИНИЛ. Значит получается, что на CD это всё не издано? Какая досада.

Originating from New York, Elephant Memory was formed in 1967 by Bronstein and Frank, who were both playing the strip joint circuit. They soon became known for their outrageous performances, with light shows, destruction of sculptures and weird outfits. After recruiting a young Israeli singer, Michal Shapiro they were signed to the Wes Farrell Organization, a powerful management and production company. Their first album was released in February 1969 and has a flashing sleeve, the group members being pictured nude, covered with paints, in front of an elephant. An interesting record, mixing psych, dreamy ballads, jazz and hard rock, two of the songs, Old Man Willow and Jungle Gym At The Zoo appeared on the soundtrack to 'Midnight Cowboy'.

With the success of this film, Buddah released Songs From Midnight Cowboy, which was basically a reissue of the first album with new versions of Everybody's Talkin' and Theme From Midnight Cowboy.

Michal Shapiro, Richard Sussman and Chester Ayers then left with Richard Sussman joining Grootna. A new line-up was put together and the next album, produced by Ted Cooper, Take It To The Streets was totally different to their debut. Elephant's Memory were now playing a very effective hard-rock, obviously inspired by the Detroit groups of the era. Tracks like Power, Piece Now, Damn and Mongoose are powerful and Mongoose became a hit. Incidentally Rick Frank is credited as "Reek Havoc" on the sleeve.

Following this album, the line-up changed again and the band backed John Lennon and Yoko Ono on Some Time In New York City and Approximately Infinite Universe. Their fourth album was naturally issued on Apple and has a good reputation.

In 1973, they backed Chuck Berry on his Bio album and finally released a final record in 1974, produced at the Rockfield Studios in Wales by Steve Smith.

Stan Bronstein launched a jazz-rock career, Rick Frank formed various local bands but died in the nineties. Adam Ippolito went on to play with soul and funk groups and Wayne Tex Gabriel joined Mitch Ryder. Adrian Peritore (aka Guy Peritore) later formed Beede Oms with David Cohen and went on to play with The Motels amongst others.

Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels was a white soul group from Detroit with several hit songs on the charts in the mid-60's.

The group was formed by Mitch Ryder, who had been born in Hamtramck, Michigan in 1945 as William Levise, Jr. He grew up in Detroit listening to black music and joined a group in high school called the Tempest. Levise sang in a black quartet -- the Peps -- but suffered so much harassment that he left the group. He went to Los Angeles, then returned to Detroit to form another group which he called Billy Lee and the Rivieras.

Levise himself was Billy Lee and sang lead vocals. Others in the group were bass player Earl Elliott, lead guitarist Jim McCarty and drummer John Badanjek. The group brought in Joe Kubert, who had been with the Tempest, to play rhythm guitar. New York record producer Bob Crewe became the group's new manager and insisted that they change their name -- to Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. The name Mitch Ryder was chosen at random from a telephone directory, and Levise has used it ever since.

The group's first recording, I Need Help, went nowhere but its second effort went all the way to the top ten. Jenny Take A Ride! was actually a medley of C. C. Rider [a.k.a. See See Rider], a song that had been done by Chuck Willis in the 50's and which had inspired a dance known as The Stroll, and Jenny, Jenny, which had been a top ten song for Little Richard in the 50's. Mitch Ryder added his own flair to the song and it was a big hit.

In 1966 and 1967, recording for the New Voice label, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels put five songs in the top forty including Little Latin Lupe Lu, Devil With A Blue Dress On & Good Golly Miss Molly, and Sock It To Me-Baby! Encouraged by producer Crewe, Mitch Ryder went solo in 1967, with little success other than his What Now My Love on Crewe's DynoVoice label. He became disillusioned, and there were lawsuits.

In 1969 he worked with Booker T and the MG's to come up with The Detroit-Memphis Experience, but its sales were sluggish. He joined with the drummer from the Detroit Wheels, John Badanjek, to form a new rock group they called Detroit in 1971.

In later years Ryder settled in to writing songs with his wife Kimberley, wrote a novel and did some painting. Some recordings he did in the late 70's led to a European tour, and he did an album that was produced by John Mellencamp in 1983, Never Kick A Sleeping Dog. Bruce Springsteen sometimes closes his show with the songs that were made famous by Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels. And Mitch Ryder still performs on occasion.
