GREASY TRUCKERS
Live At Dingwalls Dance Hall
DOUBLE VINYL LP 12" GATEFOLD
Greasy Truckers Live at Dingwalls Dance Hall is a 1974 live double album by various artists recorded at an October 1973 Greasy Truckers concert at the Dingwalls Dance Hall at Camden Lock in Camden Town London. The concert featured four bands, Camel, Henry Cow, Global Village Trucking Company & Gong. It was recorded on Virgin Records' "Virgin Mobile". However, not all the tracks on the album are from the Dingwells Dance Hall concert. Due to delays in starting the event and a 2am curfew, Henry Cow's set (billed last) was curtailed to 10 minutes, and their contribution here was recorded a week later at Virgin's Manor Studio. An outtake from this session, "Bellycan" was finally released on the first (re-mixed) CD-release of their album, Legend. Also, the first Gong track was recorded at an open air festival at Tabarka Tunisia in June 1973, and the second was recorded live at Sheffield City Hall in Sheffield, England in October 1973.Greasy Truckers were a loose organization of individuals whose ideals were based on those of the Diggers in San Francisco, recycling money into worthwhile causes. They did gigs, free festivals, albums and other alternative things. This album was the second in a series of two albums recorded in London at concerts organized by The Greasy Truckers, the first being Greasy Truckers Party (1972). All proceeds from the concert and LP sales went to the Greasy Truckers
