Jill Sobule - 1998-03-12 - Ann Arbor

Here

This is the next time that I saw Jill play live. I'm the guy who yelled for her to play. "Money Shot". It was a song that appeared on her web site for about 2 days before it got pulled... Incredibly, she did try to play it. Probably my favorite is a song which, as far as I know, was never done anywhere else. It's never appeared on a record. It's called Girl Say Go. Fan-tastic stuff... and in amazing quality.

Jill Sobule & Deni Bonet - 1995-04-14 - Ann Arbor, MI

This show was my first introduction to three of my all-time favorite musicians... Jill Sobule, Deni Bonet, and Robyn Hitchcock. It was a wild, strange day full of all sorts of stories. You can get the Robyn Hitchcock portion of this show here.

Before the show started, I was just lounging around in the lobby area when this small blonde woman in a black dress came up and began making small talk. This, I thought, was very strange. After a few minutes, she just as suddenly turned & left. Again, I thought how very strange it was. When the show started, she walked on to the stage and began singing. It was magic!

There were two shows that night - an early show and a late show. The early show just had Jill Sobule as the opening act, but the late show had two opening acts. The second was Deni Bonet. Deni is an amazing violin player. She's still very much around & recording albums. Sadly, though, she doesn't tour outside the NYC area. This is the only live recording that I have of her. Check out her website here.

These sets are brilliant, fun, full of energy, and some of the best music that I have ever heard. I literally went into my local record shop the following Monday and ordered every album by each of these artists. (For Robyn, at least, that was a lot of albums!)

These shows weren't supposed to be shared and have remained locked away in the Secret Society's vaults for these past 15 years. Do me a favor... Download them, listen to them, and just rock the hell out. Here

Jill Sobule - 1995 - Two Dates In April

These are two shows that Jill did opening for Robyn Hitchcock. Wish I had his portions as well, but I do not. Sadly, the dates in the "info" file are not correct. The dates I have placed in the comments are correct.

Gandalf Murphy - 2008-10-18 - Ann Arbor - Pirate Ball

Concerts like this one really give me hope for mankind. They seemlessly mix the silly and the sublime. One magic moment that just jumps out at me is their cover of Eric Clapton's "Can't Find My Way Home". They invite the audience to join them in a big ship and just sail away from the world for a while. If you enjoyed their Whitehall show (below), this show is even FURTHER out there. You need a copy.

Gandalf Murphy - 2008-10-17 - Whitehall

This is one of the very first shows that I filmed with a decent camera. The venue was perfect, the lighting was perfect, the crowd was perfect, and the performance shook the house. This was my daughter's first exposure to Gandalf Murphy - and she's never hesitated to go to a show since. This is one of the finest films that I have made to date.

This is the appearance of Horse Feathers on Acoustic Cafe. Probably my favorite track is Beth Orton's cover of "Wild World" - originally by the artist originally known as Cat Stevens.

Gandalf Murphy - 2008-10-18 - Ann Arbor

This show is a remarkable one because the set list is so completely different from typical shows. It features a medley of songs from The Wizard of Oz, a Fairport Convention cover song, and a cover of Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues done to the tune of The Who's Pinball Wizard. And... If that's not enough weirdness for you... check out the half-dozen or so sea-faring numbers. It makes me smile just knowing that there is a band out there whose members would deliberately assemble such a strange collection of things together. I went to this show & have never really been the same ever since. (I filmed the show ... but, this audio recording was made by a local taper and passed along to me in .flac format.)

Gandalf Murphy - 2006-12-02 - Espresso Royale Cafe

This is the very first Gandalf Murphy concert that I attended... It was recorded by a local taping legend & passed along to me in .flac format. Among the other remarkable songs is a cover of Syd Barrett's song Scarecrow. They follow it with their own Barrett tribute song called "Syd". This also features an extremely rare live version of "End Of The World". (a flute-heavy number) We learn that one of the band members, Tink, is secretly the daughter of Jethro Tull!!

PF - 1967 - Underground Scene Special

By special arrangement with the nice folks over at Harvested, I am delighted to be able to share this documentary with you nice folks... Previously, this has been traded only on VCD format. This DVD version was taken from a (slightly) superior source. I wish, I wish there were a better copy of this floating around out there... If anyone has one, please get in touch!! In the meantime, until the BBC open their vaults, please enjoy this slice of London Hippie Weirdness!

Jill Sobule - Acoustic Cafe - 3/2010

Jill Sobule appeared on a radio show called Acoustic Cafe back in March. Jill's music has mellowed a bit over her career. Her wit, however, is still as sharp as ever. Jolly good stuff. Well worth a listen. (see comments for complete track listing)

RW - A Nice Pair

When Mr. Waters last toured through my neighborhood, it was 2006. I went to quite a few shows, but sometimes had less than ideal seats. My friend, Mark, later gave me his recordings - I think just to let me know that the sound wasn't complete crap in ALL of the seats.... just mine.
