Addenda & Errata
On Black Tambourine, Bill pointed out after recording that it’s not snare on the and of four “every time,” but on alternating measures
Beck’s “Sears Guitar”: he plays a lot of Danelectro Silverstone 1448, which was sold by Sears in the ‘60s. No documentation that this is the guitar used in Black Tambourine, but seems likely
The Beck concert Waldron & Mary saw wasn’t at Agganis Arena, but we think must have been at Fleetboston Pavilion (now Leader Bank Pavilion), on May 24, 2003
