:: ubu notes ::

Came as Sound Board, but there are a few too many radio announcements...

The radio announcement at the end of CD2#2 gives June 26 as the date, and a location that does sound different, I don't understand it though.
When this was up on dime, it was all seeded as from June 25 and from the Bimhuis.

A Dutch friend helped me figure out the announcements - he wrote:

info on one of the broadcasts is up on the VPRO Jazz Op 4 site:
http://www.vpro.nl/programma/jazzopvier/afleveringen/2233491/
(note: this is broadcast by VPRO, the other one by NPS)

there it is mentioned that this 14 nov 1999 VPRO broadcast covers 25 june and that a previous NPS broadcast covered 26 june

on CD2tr2 the guys mentions this was music from 26 june and that next week we'll hear 25 june

CD2tr3: "...you can listen to part of the final tune of the first set in the Bimhuis on that 26th, a composition by Griffin: 'Chicago Calling'"

on CD1tr4 the lady mentions VPRO plans to (re-)broadcast the second evening on 30 jan 2000, but apparantly this never happened as a Frisell concert was broadcast on that date.

no info online on the NPS broadcast as far as I can('t) find it-
