New Bill Hicks recording surfaces!
It's an audience recording from October 10th, 1993 in New York. The gig is right after he was dropped from Letterman(*) and Hicks lets his feelings about him and the whole incident known (well that's what I'm told, I haven't finished downloading it yet!).

http://frequency23.org/images/zoom/QFJPWM/01_track_01.mp3 <- 75 megs

Credit for its discovery goes to http://frequency23.org


(*)See this article by John Lahr for more info & a transcript of the Letterman performance. (The complete letter Hicks wrote to Lahr is in the book Love All The People.):

5. It's weird - it works fine on my download manager, but I've just tried
"right click save as ..." and it won't work.

7. I'd offer to upload it to a file-sharing site, but I'm only on dial-up :(
I'll keep my eyes peeled for an alternate host.

(OT, but when you're looking for new films to download look out for "Innocence" - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375233/ . Hadzihalilovic is Gaspar Noe's partner & she edited "I Stand Alone" (& the cinematographer did Irreversible.))

3. Just an aside: Love All The People is a great book if anyone needs
Edited on Wed Mar-01-06 03:25 PM by jane_pippin
something new to read. It does get a little repetitive since the material overlaps a bit, but at the same time you can see it evolve so it doesn't really take away from the book either.

Thanks for the link to the recording.
