Does anyone else miss the Diesel Experiments?

[Yoda]

Are there any Callahan DE out there?

[siflandollie]

I recorded all of the Diesel Experiments at Tobacco Rd in NYC

They were

Lennon v. McCartney
feat. Sequoia on Keys, Save on Bass, Adrian on Drums, Tim on Guitar and Pete Pigeon on Guitar

Zappa
feat. Members of Project Object, Save, Adrian and Tim

Junk N Jams
Adrian, Save, Tim, Some girl sings a tune. I do not recall who was playing keys at the moment

are these recordings floating around anywhere?  I would love to hear \'em

[jking]

i\'d love to grab whatever of these are around. ss/mediafire/etc would be great!

[FrankZappa]

most of the deisels were never released at tims request. Dave did tape a few/all of the calahan ones, but I don\'t think they ever made release.

there\'s some pictures from them in the gallery.

Ditto to that, so long as its ok w/ Tim!

[jking]

why didn\'t tim want them released? not arguing, just curious....

[Yoda]

I\'m just interested in the Americana DE for obvious reasons...

[simpletwistupdon]

Zappa
Lennon vs. McCartney
Fusion
Americana
Junk & Jams

I know there was one with an RHCP set... any others that can be remembered?

[tmn8r1]

here they are in order.

acoustica
acoustica 2
junk\'n jams
Zappa vs. Dead
americana
high times
lennon vs. mccartney
zappa
junk\'n jams 2 & 3 &.......

i can\'t remember whether junk\'n jams preceded zappavsdead or vice versa. i had a blast doing these shows but it was tough with the energy i put into them, the crowd we drew, and the money we made. trust me i have list of experiments i want to do and will do in the future. the breakfast covering cartoon themes was one of them. beatles a-z was one as well. so i still vent my creative ideas just hasn\'t been through the diesel label. i will revive the DE in 2010.

thanks to all who supported DE, came to the shows, and now send me warm thoughts in remembrance. they were fun.
if you guys want the tapes go for it. i was self conscious that the music wasn\'t the tightest due to the lack of practice before the shows but............. wtf. enjoy.

peace

Nice Tim! Thats great to hear... thanks for your insight and words of wisdom regarding the past DE shows.  As always, anything that you\'ve been a part of ends up a quality product and damn good time IMO. I\'m definitely lookin forward to anything that comes in the future!

[leith]

Close the yearbooks, kiddies. Its time to move forward. Tomorrow is a better day.

Your pessimism is venomous and clueless see Tim\'s post below. DE LIVES!!!!!

I\'d still like to hear "In the Court of the Crimson King," though.

Ditto! Used to love the way they used to bust out stuff like that and Legend of a Mind.

Have got a couple of the DEs in audio if anyone needs them.

Up them. See Tim\'s post below.

Holy good stuff here!  I found this on my taper list from 2004.  A lot of this was first time played, raw, unpolished and experimental, which made it so good! thank you Tim and all musicians that made it happen!

[skalnbyc]

I know there was one with an RHCP set... any others that can be remembered?

I think I remember the RHCP Diesel being at a place in Holyoke, MA.  Either Springdale Hall or that 1 other place they played (can\'t remember the name).

Next Diesel Experiment: October 31, 2009: P-Funk

Good to know that there is now permission to distribute the Diesel Experiments shows. Any chance we can put these shows on archive.org? I love that shit.

Also, I have a good chunk of footage of the Frank Zappa Diesel Experiment. If someone in the A/V crew could synchronize the video with the audio files that exist and possibly post it on youtube/sendspace that would be great. Would make a nice Christmas present for the B\'fam.

[Gfunk]

i will revive the DE in 2010.

MOAR ZAPPA!
