Melissa Manchester - Live at the Record Plant, Record Plant, Sausalito, CA, 2-26-1975

Posted by on
Here's a concert by singer-songwriter Melissa Manchester. She had quite a few hits in the 1970s and 80s. But this concert was recorded in 1975, after she had released just two studio albums and hadn't had any hits yet. I'm not a big fan of her music, but I've noticed there are almost no concert recordings from her, so this will hopefully fix that a little bit.

I just posted that I'm making a new concerted effort to post more albums from the WLIR Ultrasonic concert series. As if I don't have enough on my plate in terms of good music to post at this blog already, I've decided to make another concerted effort to post more albums from this radio show as well, called "Live at the Record Plant." It was a frequent concert series done by the San Francisco Bay Area radio station KSAN, and went from 1973 to 1978. It turns out I've posted two albums from it already, one by Bonnie Raitt in 1973 and one by Fleetwood Mac in 1974. I've made a new label called "Record Plant" to help you find others in this series. So far, this is only the third album from the series, but I've discovered about 60 more! So it'll be a long time before I manage to post all of those.

Getting back to Manchester, this concert caught her right at the brink of stardom. She had co-written most of her songs on her early albums with Carole Bayer Sager, who was a talented hit-making songwriter. One song they wrote together, "Midnight Blue," was performed in this concert. When it would be released as a single a couple of months later, it would reach Number Six on the U.S. singles chart. 

Note that one song here, "Newton's Ego," is an instrumental mainly performed by James Newton Howard, a member of Manchester's band at the time. He was just a lowly session musician then, but he would go on to compose scores for over a 100 movies, earning a Grammy Award and Emmy Award along the way.

This bootleg recording is very rare. I streamed it through my computer and then broke it up into mp3 files. 

This album is 56 minutes long.

The cover photo is from this exact concert. It was blurry and low-res. I used the Krea AI program to improve it, but it's still rather blurry.
