NOTES: Ian Hunter opening set for Jethro Tull. I have to be honest, I knew next to nothing about Ian Hunter before this show. I had heard the name Ian Hunter and Mott The Hoople, but that's it. Jethro Tull was the big draw for me. I found that I was familiar with a couple of Ian Hunter's tunes from the radio, and very much enjoyed the rest of the songs, including the stuff he said was from the "new album." I actually liked Ian Hunter more than Jethro Tull! At times people are yelling "Happy Birthday" to Ian Hunter (his birthday was the day before the show I later found out). Some minor crowd disturbance during one of the quieter passages in Sweet Jane, but not too bad.

What a night! I saw Ian at this pub a few years back and my what a change.
While that show was great THIS show was smokin'!!! His band is extremely tight and Ian's
voice was very strong. great mix of old & new ..in fact the Rant material now feels like
fan faves like the older stuff. ...and the crowd knew & loved the great new songs from
the new cd Shrunken Heads. I was positioned about 8 feet from the stage dead center.
Amazing stereo separation as the lead guitarist is heard strong on the left side, but barely audible on the
right...while the rest of the band & vocals are center. The CA's hit another homerun. check out the samples.

AS Always...Share and ENJOY!

BTW...track 10 is me crossing the street to my car...I left it on for the cool stereo effects of cars whizzing by.

Ian signed lot of records and take lot of pics with many people before

Comments:

Nice show from Ian's 2001 tour in support of his excellent RANT album. I went to two shows on this tour and managed to miss the first 15-20 minutes of both shows. Luckily I knew of other tapers at each show and was able to get the missing tracks to add to my recordings of those nights.

This show also has filler added from FM radio of Ian playing acoustic versions of two songs on the Howard Stern show dated as "10/14/01". I think this filler was taped on cassette by Freddie G but I can't recall for sure. Quality of the FM cassette is not very good (sounds too fast & just lousy in general to my ears, especially when Howard sings!) but the sources for the Allentown show both sound fine.

Thanks to Bob T. for the first 5 tracks of this show & Freddie G. for making the artwork.

Ian Hunter & Band - November 10, 1997 - Radio HO*T FM, 9sqm session, Hof, Germany
**ROUGH MIX, PRE-FM, DAT-master, MWM 0015**



Short story:

Being fans of Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter since the late 60ies, Joe and Otto heard
that Ian was touring with a new band to promote his album "The Artful Dodger". They
contacted his Management and his Tourmanager to play a session...nobody believed that
this would ever happen. But sometimes miracles occur: they got a confirmation, and a
few weeks later Mr. Hunter in person, alive and well, walked into the studio.


And if you ask if we had fun - yes! Nice musicians, great songs, Ian at his best!

And if you ask if it was sad - yes! Talking about the late Mick Ronson...


And if you ask if Ian ever takes off his sunglasses - NO.
Check the photos of this session included in a folder...

Performed shortly after the release of "You're Never Alone With A Schizophrenic", the band had been playing together for "exactly 11 days." The band was Bruce Springsteen's backing band.

The beginning of the tape had some chatter from "Claire," the WLIR on-air DJ, but it was so unclear it was removed, until she introduces Dennis McNamara, who introduces the band.

The vocals are hard to make out, possibly because they are in the same frequency range as the guitar, which was very loud. The whole band around 1-2kHz is saturated and squashed and very loud. I use the L3 Multimaximizer to prevent it from being made any louder during mastering. It takes a little edge off the guitars and makes the recording less headachy.

Why Did Obama Lie About Bin Laden Killing?

Obama lied about the date of the alleged Osama Bin Laden killing, according to recently released Department of Defense emails. As a result of a Freedom of Information Act request for Bin Laden’s killing and burial related documents, evidence reveals that the mission to allegedly “kill Osama” occurred April 28, 2011 or earlier, not May 1, 2011, as Obama claimed. According to a live speech (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V0ISgosTlQ) and alternate link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-N3dJvhgPg) given to the country late on the night of May 1, 2011, Obama stated “Today at my direction the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound (where Osama allegedly was) in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a fire fight they killed Osama Bin Laden and took custody of his body.”

Osama Bin Laden Burial Department of Defense Emails

In one of the emails dated April 29, 2011, 4:58 AM, Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Samuel Perez asks an unidentified email sender (Redacted) regarding the “burial”: “Do I need any special religious/ceremonial preparations?” Email strings that were released concerning the alleged burial of Osama go back to April 28. This means that “Osama” (or possibly someone else) was killed April 28, 2011 or earlier.

Perez email

Osama email

Obama continued to lie to the American people two other times in his speech that Osama was killed that day – May 1, 2011.

At 6.13 minutes, Obama stated “Tonight I called President Zardari and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts. They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations,” stated Obama.

At 8.37 “Today’s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country,” stated Obama.

Ian Hunter & His Rant Band and Graham Parker & The Rumour, The Paramount, 2 December 2012

Audience recording

What For

When I'm President

All The Way From Memphia

Ripped from YouTube video during All The Way From Memphis

The keyboard cut out, Ian wasn't sure what happened, perhaps something simple like a loose connection in a wire or Ian may have accidently hit a button or switch on the electronic keyboard and the instrument cut out. In any case, Dennis ran from the other side of the stage, tried to fix it or the sound crew found out what happened and the sound returned. Once Dennis tapped on the keys the sound returned. Hunter said: "It's out. . . . I must have touched something." Ian sort of playfully pushed Dennis away and The Rant Band picked up right where they left off. It was a playful yet professional moment during a great set at a fabulous venue.

Update: December 2012, Horse's Mouth

Dan Mcallister: ‘Kudos to Dennis for his quick help at the Paradise.’ "Yeah – I must have hit something by mistake."

RUSSIAN NEWS OUTLET PRAVDA (PREVIOUSLY THE OFFICIAL PRESS OF THE USSR) LABELS OBAMA A ‘COMMUNIST’

Obama's Soviet Mistake

The author, Xavier Lerma, goes on to note how Obama’s “cult of personality” has mesmerized the ignorant in America, who will follow the hope and change icon in much the same way as ”fools” still praise Lenin and Stalin in Russia.

"He is a Communist without question promoting the Communist Manifesto without calling it so. How shrewd he is in America. His cult of personality mesmerizes those who cannot go beyond their ignorance. They will continue to follow him like those fools who still praise Lenin and Stalin in Russia. Obama’s fools and Stalin’s fools share the same drink of illusion."

The author questions if Americans have ever read history and concludes that American schools have been “conquered by Communists long ago,” paving the way for a revisionist history that would only lead to the election of a Communist president in the U.S.

Daniel J. Saulmon was charged with resisting, delaying and obstructing an officer but the video shows he was standing well out the way of a traffic stop and was only arrested when he failed to produce identification to an approaching officer. And there is no law in California that requires citizens to produce identification. And even if there was, it would require the officer to have a reasonable suspicion that he was committing a crime.

Koran: Beat Your Wife, Qur'an 4:34

"Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that God has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for God's guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them. If they then obey you, look not for any way against them; God is All-high, All-great." -- Qur'an 4:34

The directive to "beat them" is not an allowance at all, but a straightforward, matter-of-fact command. And the words وَاضْرِبُوهُنَّ, wa dariboohunna, do not just mean "and chastise them." They mean "and beat them," and that or a variant of that is how they are uniformly translated:

Pickthall: “and scourge them”
Yusuf Ali: “(And last) beat them (lightly)”
Al-Hilali/Khan: “(and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful)”
Shakir: “and beat them”
Sher Ali: “and chastise them”
Khalifa: “then you may (as a last alternative) beat them”
Arberry: “and beat them”
Dawood: "and beat them"
Rodwell: “and scourge them”
Sale: “and chastise them”
Asad: “then beat them”
Daryabadi: "and beat them"

Aisha reports that Muhammad struck her. Once he went out at night after he thought she was asleep, and she followed him surreptitiously. Muhammad saw her, and, as Aisha recounts: “He struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?” (Sahih Muslim 2127) Aisha herself said it: “I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women.” (Sahih Bukhari 7.72.715)

Laleh Bakhtiar, in a recent translation that has received wide publicity, translates it as “go away from them.” In light of this unanimity among the translators, both Muslim and non-Muslim, this seems difficult to sustain – all of these authorities got the passage wrong until Bakhtiar? But her impulse is understandable, as many Muslims today regard this verse with acute embarrassment. Muhammad Asad adduces numerous traditions in which Muhammad “forbade the beating of any woman,” concluding that wife-beating is “barely permissible, and should preferably be avoided.”

Unfortunately, however, this is not a unanimous view. The Koran commentary Ruhul Ma’ani reflects mainstream Muslim understandings of this verse when it gives four reasons that a man may beat his wife: “if she refuses to beautify herself for him,” if she refuses sex when he asks for it, if she refuses to pray or perform ritual ablutions, and “if she goes out of the house without a valid excuse.”

Also, Muhammad’s example is normative for Muslims, since he is an “excellent example of conduct” (Koran 33:21) – and according to a canonical hadith, Muhammad’s favorite wife, his child bride Aisha, reports that Muhammad struck her. Once he went out at night after he thought she was asleep, and she followed him surreptitiously. Muhammad saw her, and, as Aisha recounts: “He struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?” (Sahih Muslim 2127) Aisha herself said it: “I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women.” (Sahih Bukhari 7.72.715)
