Funny, I just ordered this earlier tonight before I saw your post. I'm excited to get it because it's just from the Solid Rock years. The only Stonehill albums I like that aren't from the SR years are Between the Glory & The Flame and The Wild Frontier.

DA was at Greenbelt for the Horrendous Disc tour. I think the Stonehill at Greenbelt concert was before DA had been there maybe by a few years.
Its interesting also in the liner notes for the CD that Larry says "After all, Randy should get some of the CD sales for this concert I booked for him, shouldn't he?" Sure, the solid rock artists should get paid at some point, it would be nice.

Not really, just that solid rock was never a company that let go of funds owed easily. We worked with Dan Russell (Mark Heard's manager) and Janet Heard on a couple of things, we reissued Mark's two first albums after Mark died. Larry was a little upset about it because according to him the second album was signed over to Solid Rock at some point, which was true to a slight degree those albums were made before Mark signed to solid rock and when he signed onto solid rock he let Larry reissue the second album but he never signed a contract about it. Mark had never received any money from the rerelease. So we made sure at least Janet did. Its a pretty common story, I think Terry may be still waiting on those royalty checks.

That show was around August 1979. DA is not the backing band, although Alex MacDougal is on drums, his brother Beau is on guitar (as is Randy), bass is David Coy (I think) and Tom Howard is on piano. There must have been a test pressing done of it years ago that the CD was burned from, but GN and LTTKR have been used as bonus tracks on other CDs so they have already been digitized from some tapes, and were both originally on the Greenbelt Live! complilation album released in the fall of 1979.
I think the recording and performance is quite stunning, especially the more electric version of "Keep Me Running". If you notice close, Randy also plays (quite well) some harmony lead guitar parts.

Yeah the two good sounding tracks were probably taken from the Greenbelt Live CD, sort of like how Solid Rock used the 4 track demos from the Preachers From Outer Space CD for one of their samplers.
The Stonehill Greenbelt recording was a test pressing, I got a copy of it years ago.

Great, poor Mark Heard as well. Sad story.
Larry quibling over a widow's due.

Is this story accurate?

Have you seen Disabatino's film on Lonnie Frisbee? It was talked about by David on the Larry list, so I don't hink I am giving anything way to say that he is working on a film about Larry. Interviewed DA members, Mike Roe, The Stonehills and many others.

I would love to see a film on Larrys life. On another thread there was talk about the "passing" of people that affect you .
Larrys passing has left a really weird hole for me- and I wasnt an ardent fan..(never saw him live..dang!) its just that for better or worse- he did spend his entire musical carreer talking about how he was only visiting this planet..and now that his visit is over..
It will be marvelous to interview those who knew and worked with him- at this point I would think all things would be spoken with a gracious tone.
Terry talked early on about Genes demons and struggles..it makes the faith they held more beautiful with time.
Please keep us posted on this venture Audi- as it is a direct link to that band we love that wont go away.

Wow, I was sure that was DA backing him at that show. It sounds alot like them at that time. Thanks for the info, though.
I interviewed Randy a couple of months ago and he told me about the movie on Larry. Randy kind of described the movie as looking at their relationship and it being symbolic of Christian music's development through the seventies and eighties.

Yeah I believe most of it was filmed, if not all of it, before Larry's passing. I believe the idea was to tell the honest truth, not hide the struggles, because thats part of the heartache. I know in Randy's last interview for the film he broke down and cried.
