Stripeydave says: This recording is dedicated to the Gil and Dave and the fantastic group of musicians who showed up. Thank you.
It is also dedicated to every single one of you who downloads this recording. You have excellent taste and are to be congratulated! 😉
There’s not much that I can say about this show that isn’t better said in the accompanying blog post of my newest music friend. But I’ll throw in two or three cents worth.
After all the Little Room shows, I didn’t know what to expect in the “big” room proper. Needless to say, when Dave and Gil bring their friends to play, everyone wins! A truly wonderful evening, the high points for me being the hauntingly beautiful reading of Neil Young’s “Birds” as sung by Harper Simon, and Willie Watson belting out John Lennon’s “Crippled Inside”. That being said, there were no low points and it was really hard to believe the number and variety of hugely talented musicians who kept dropping in to play. You’ll really want to grab this one. There is a small gap right before Love Hurts, but only stage banter was lost, not a drop of music (which was a small miracle in and of itself–you try to change tapes in a pin-drop-quiet theatre known for its EXTREME no-taping policy).
My feeling is that this music is too important to let drift off into the mists of time and is a wonderful historical document. I am pleased to be able to share it with you.
So keep your windows open please and try to upload as much as you download. I understand it may be tough on dialup, so if you can’t, no worries… just try to share it with as many people as you can by other methods, preferably through random acts of kindness.
One last thing, if you like this show then please go out and buy their albums. You won’t be disappointed. Support live Independent Music!
The life you save will be your own!
