Here’s the background on this post from the original uploader on DIME: In the late 90’s I did a nice trade for a 5 cd set called Terry Riley – Mystery Concert. I recalled that it was quite good and revisited it a couple years ago because I couldn’t really remember what it was. I discovered that it’s not a concert, but a series of broadcasts along with two audience recordings of good quality. I cleaned it up and organized it and tried to find out more information. Riley’s official live releases are either archival 60’s shows or more recent (Lisbon, Moscow) piano solos, so nothing like these. I also dug around to see if anyone else had the same recordings and came up empty. I thought this might make a nice post during freeloader week so that the download wouldn’t be so ratio breaking. I ran it by the Dime Mods, who graciously gave the go ahead, despite the lack of specifics. So I can’t tell you the where or when, but I can say that if you are a Riley fan this is a treasure trove of fascinating music in really nice quality. I left the few announcements (in French and German) because that might help clarify things.
First German announcement says it’s Radio Bremen May 1983 Terry Riley & Krishna Bhatt. French announcement says: “So we are listening live from Temple Neuf in Metz two excerpts of songs from 1982, from Terry Riley by Terry Riley”. Second German announcement is closing comment from the same broadcast above.
