Hallelujah: The Portsmouth Sinfonia at the Royal Albert Hall



A perfect title for the unholy cacophony unleashed by the Sinfonia live at the Royal Albert Hall, of all places. Comes off more like a comedy record than an evening of classical favorites.
In its own way, this is a "top notch" live recording.
Ever wonder why Brian Eno isn't better known for his chops on the clarinet?
On this blog I try to post a wide array of records providing any kind non-professional mess to help you unwind, forget, and just laugh. This one is no exception.

Portsmouth Sinfonia Plays The Popular Classics



This will make the Guckenheimer Sour Kraut Band post below sound, well, almost professional.
What do you think it would sound like if a bunch of non-musicians formed an orchestra and played some well know classical music (I'm thinking the King Uszniewicz of classical)?
Also, Brian Eno is one of the clarinet players. You can see him in the upper right hand side of the cover.
If you find classical music too formal or stuffy, the Portsmouth Sinfonia does more than just take the wind out of its' sails.

Eno & The Winkies- Peel Session 1974



After the release of "Here Come The Warm Jets," Eno embarked on his one and only solo tour with the Winkies (a glam-ish Pub Rock band) as his backing band, but he suffered from a collapsed lung after only five dates.
It's weird to think of a Pub Rock band backing Eno, but these more direct, rocked out, and non-electronic versions work just fine. A great song in any form is still a great song.

1) Baby's On Fire
2) Totalled (re-worked later as "I'll Come Running")
3) The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch
4) Fever (Peggy Lee cover)
