Sammy Walker, Phil Ochs & Roger McGuinn – Night Of The Empty Bottle (New York 1975)

Sammy Walker, Phil Ochs & Roger McGuinn – Night Of The Empty Bottle

Folk City, New York City – October 19, 1975

Audience recording - don’t expect hi-fi!

From Wiki:

“Walker, who at least once downplayed his own success by claiming he has "only 50 fans, one in each state", performed a memorable opening set for Ochs at Gerde's Folk City on October 19, 1975, when Ochs drunkenly staged what Ochs billed as the final Phil Ochs concert and the first John Train performance. Midnight was when Ochs was supposedly changing his stage name to Train, but his inebriated behavior incurred the wrath of the Gerde's staff to the point where the waitress was no longer serving him, amid the soon-to-be-suicidal folksinger's rambling tirades against, among other musings, "Johnny Cash, BEFORE amphetamines". Having finished his formidably-rendered set including his signature tune "Closin’ Time", Walker watched Ochs with apparent embarrassment from the wings.”

So no wonder the makers of these CDRs called them “Night Of The Empty Bottle”.

I got this double CDR in a trade decades ago. The track listing is as mentioned on the artwork I received, but I’m not 100% sure about the song titles, so corrections are welcome if any.
