The Cocaine Sessions

 


Here are the Cocaine Sessions (circa 1981-82), (aka the Hamburger Sessions or Things We Used to Get Brian to Show Up for Practice), recorded by Brian and Dennis (while apparently stoned out of their minds) at Village Recorders during a particularly dark period of both men's lives - Brian was on a long hiatus and Dennis' tragic death was only a year and a bit away. Undoubtedly the most famous track on the bootleg is "Oh Lord", a haunting demo that really embodies the darkness of this period. The tape hiss just makes the whole experience all the more bleak. Also included is a 12-minute interview with Brian.
