Every year on my birthday, I attempt to release something free for you, just to say thank you for liking what I do.
Now, this isn’t the entire show, of course. We had some equipment issues that kept this gig from sounding as stellar as we’d hoped when setting up all of the recording stuff, and the initial plan was to take the three hour show and edit it all into a shorter live album that was somewhat indicative of an average Motherfuckers Be Bullshittin’ era gig – albeit with a few surprises.
Since the whole show was caught on tape, I’ve done just that here for you, but as the results were not as sonically pleasing as I’d hoped due to microphone malfunctions and a PA that was about to crap out at any second? I’ve edited this into an approximation of the live album I’d planned on making… only it’s marred by bootleggy sound quality. You can get an idea of what we were going for, and it’s still a lot of fun to listen to. Not to mention a fun souvenir if you were there!
(Chris Zabriskie plays the drums on a few of these songs. Lando The Roadie shares a microphone with me during “Show Me How To Shine Shoes”.)
Download the full zip file right here and rock out, eh? (right-click, save-as, it’s yours).
(Sorry, time’s up on this one.)
Plus, Jeff Douglas took some great pictures of the show that you can see here, in case you wanna know at it looked like when we played these songs!
Let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy it!
