Romeo's
Tune [Download]
From the WNEW/New York, WIOQ/Philadelphia, WCOZ/Boston
live broadcast of the November 24, 1979, show at the
Palladium in New York City. As Steve states in the
liner notes to More Young, Guitar Days, “I remember
the ease of taking a cab merely eight blocks north
that night from my apartment to the venue. Andy
Warhol was backstage before the show, talking with
Danny Fields, no doubt making the first of many
social stops scheduled for that evening.”
"Romeo’s Tune" was released on Forbert’s second
album, “Jackrabbit Slim", in 1979 and was dedicated
to the memory of late Supreme Florence Ballard. The
single, featuring an alternate version of “Make It
All So Real” as the b-side, reached #11 on the
Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart in January 1980.
This live version of “Romeo’s Tune” was officially
released in 2002 on More Young, Guitar Days, which
also features live versions of “Grand Central
Station” and “Oh, Camille” from that same Palladium
show. |
