>and included in the Harvester of Lives free download bonus of the Complete Columbia Album Collection Box.< hmm, I guess you're wrong on that, Frog (same old feud between Italians and French ) Oh f*ck, you're right !!!
and actually, there is a mystery. FT is included on half of the bootlegs (that I know of) from this particular radio show but is of course on the radio show LP itself. And well, if the Harvester of Lives was taken from the radio LP, it would be present... I guess, the nice people that made the download part of the box just ripped a boot CD and not a complete one...

correct the triple-vinyl radio release was transfered into a 2-set CD bootleg, then reissued in a sigle CD format, minus four tracks (the others being ETI, Cities on Flame, and Heavy Metal). and that's where the digital release comes from

I have an EP that includes a long killer live version of telepaths that sounds like it's from that era. I'll have to pull it out of the big box in the closet to see if there's any more info such as recorded dates. live at Bonds International Casino NYC June 16, 1981 for ABC's A Night on the Road broadcast, synth solo overdubbed by Steve Schenck during post production because of sound issues, produced by George Geranios & SS, engineered by GG & Rod O'Brian with Record Plant Remote, possibly mixed at ABC, digitally available on CD only through the Setlist budget compilation, Sony/Columbia/Legacy 2010 (US) & 2013 (EU). the other track on the 12" B-side is the Black & Blue movie version of Dr. Music (never remastered digitally) I was there they had to do Burnin' twice-had the radio rebroadcast and then the record set which I sold.The highlight was the two black girls dancing to COF.Got a kick out of that.

That "Night on the Road" release from Bond's seems to be a real mess - sonic skullduggery of the highest - or maybe lowest - order. Here's Bolle's notes:
The second show was held on June 16th at The Bond's International Casino and the recording trucks were waiting outside to capture the show for "A Night On The Road." This show was aired almost two months later on August 8th. The show is very similar to the previous day's set (at the Spit), and runs about 95 minutes.
As it happened, the mixing budget ran out, so Steve Schenck & George Geranios opted for splicing in parts of the previously mixed Old Waldorf San Francisco show from the year before.
"ME 262" ends the actual running order of the set. They salvaged one more new song from the Bonds performance, "Heavy Metal," and positioned it after "ME 262" (it was actually played in the encore at Bond's).
All the other songs from this "Night on the Road" broadcast were taken from the Old Waldorf but were edited onto the Bond show using the between-song stage patter from Bond's to keep a continuum. So, actually from the Old Waldorf, but included here in the guise of Bond's are "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" "Godzilla," "Born To Be Wild," "The Five Guitars," and "Roadhouse Blues."
And that's not even mentioning the tales of Steve Schenck overdubbing Allen's keyboard solo on "Flaming Telepaths" later in the studio "to make it sound right."

Although Steve Schenck can play some keyboard, the tale of him 'fixing' Alan's performance is apocryphal.

That makes sense - should any "fixing" have been required, you'd have to believe that a phone call to Allen would have been the next order of business, as opposed to one of the guys doing the mixing suddenly deciding to overdub his own solo instead... :-) BTW: I originally got that bit of info from Bolle's "Morning Final" magazine: “Flaming Telepaths” had some difficulties making it onto this recording, as Steve Schenck had to overdub keyboards later in the studio to make it sound right. So this is a rarity, with Steve playing the solo, and he does it very well too. (a footnote to this is that they had no keyboard available at the studio, so Steve had to walk on down the hall and borrow one from none other than Paul Schaeffer, of David Letterman fame!)

but... ok, we need to ask Steve Schenck so we know exactly what happened with this recording... after all the ABC LPs are already frankensteined, maybe it's time to tell the tale. Ralph ?
