TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND - MARCH 20, 2026 - THE BEACON THEATRE
Nugs net keeps making these incredible concert recordings available...
I recently got hold of the March 20, 2026 Beacon Theatre concert by the Tedeschi Trucks Band.
Wonderful.
I do hope that the March 13 concert, during which the band performed Frank Zappa's 'Willie The Pimp', and with Derek Trucks playing Frank's SG guitar, will also be released one day.
PRINCE - WITH THIS TEAR
Prince's NPG Records Release Previously Unreleased Vault Single “With This Tear”.
'With This Tear' is a previously unreleased studio recording from Prince’s legendary vault. Recorded in November 1991 at Paisley Park, the track has been newly mixed and mastered by GRAMMY-nominated engineer/producer Chris James, a longtime Prince collaborator (HITnRUN Phase Two, Art Official Age, Plectrumelectrum) and features Prince producing, arranging, composing, and performing all instrumentation. Shortly after its creation, Prince offered the song to Céline Dion, who recorded her own version in 1992. This track is the beginning of a number of unreleased Prince recordings scheduled for release this year, as part of a never before released Prince album project.

SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM
The band will be touring the world to celebrate their 25th anniversary and upcoming release. The Museum lineup features original members Nils Frykdahl (guitar and flute), Carla Kihlstedt (violin and percussion guitar), Dan Rathbun (bass, Pedal Action Wiggler, Sledge hammer Dulcimer) and Michael ‘Iago’ Mellender (guitar, trumpet, percussion, and an array of outlandish homemade musical devices such as the Electric Pancreas and the All New Lever-Action Lever). Joining them will be drummer Wes Anderson, who played with Nils, Carla and Dan in predecessor bands Idiot Flesh and Charming Hostess during the dubious and incendiary 1990’s.

"EAST TWO + 7", NEW SUN RA ALBUM
To be released in June 2026:
Sun Ra & His Arkestra - "East Two + 7"
EAST TWO + 7 comprises previously unreleased tracks from one of Sun Ra's most productive periods: 1972–73. Those two hectic years saw Sun Ra recording numerous albums, staging concerts, teaching at Berkeley, acting in and composing the score for a full-length movie, embarking on a multi-album (though ill-fated) major label deal, and touring the U.S. and Europe.
