Ronnie Lane & Slim Chance Live At Big Mamou, Austin, Texas January 8, 1988

"Live at Big Mamou, Jan.8, 1988. Unaired television footage shot for a local cable program called Splash One. Produced by Norman Wright for Austin CableVision. Ronnie Lane and Slim Chance (this time really The Make Believers, who closed the show and were taped doing their own set, and really were billed as ‘The Make Believers'): Alejandro Escovedo and Jon Dee Graham - guitars, J.D. Foster - upright bass, Freddie Krc - drums, Susan Voelz - violin, David Crawford - horns. The complete set list included: “April Fool,” “Roll On Babe,” “Don't Try ‘n' Change My Mind,” “Kuschty Rye,” “Rio Grande,” “Flags and Banners,” “You Never Can Tell,” “Under The April Skies,” “Spiritual Babe,” “You're So Rude,” “The Poacher,” “Nowhere To Run,” “Ooh La La,” and “Debris.” A year later, Kent persuaded Ronnie to allow three songs -- “Kuschty Rye,” “Nowhere To Run,” and “Ooh La La” -- to be included in a Wright-produced compilation, The Best of Splash One, which ran on public access during SXSW in ‘89 and ‘90. The master tapes of the complete concert were subsequently bulk erased and reused by the cable company, since Lane had refused permission to air them." Arrrrrgggg!

I was the club owner. Not really the Make Believers, though there's some crossover. This is a slightly smaller group than Ronnie usually turned out for Slim Chance gigs, but it's representative of his sound at the time.

Ronnie's vocals were still going strong despite of his illness. Great singing!

Well, most of the people who remember Ronnie, they remember him as Small Faces and Faces bass player, but He was so much more. He wrote (and arranged) songs so uniquely. Even if you remove everything but the bass line, it keeps more entertaining than most recent stuff.
