of Montreal brought their elaborate and entertaining stage show to Roseland on Saturday night, in a relatively short but well-played performance. The set list was more representative of the material as a whole than the Spring Hissing Fauna tour. The show also featured two new numbers slated for release on a 2008 album. The only negative was the behavior of the Saturday night midtown crowd, which was far too heavy with chatters, gazers, and text-message addicts.
Although I had written permission to record from of Montreal’s lead guitarist, I still had to deal with some venue politics–and three burly security guards hovering over me and telling me to take down my rig. Fortunately, Roseland Ballroom has an excellent Venue Manager named Linda, who assessed the situation and ultimately permitted me to record from the prime front of board position. Thanks Linda!
Overall, the results are outstanding. This is a clear and rich recording, which captures the music and bit of the party atmosphere. Enjoy!

As with all artists featured at this site, if you download this recording PLEASE SUPPORT of Montreal, visit their site, and purchase their latest release
sorry for being an idiot but… how do you listen to flac extensions?
All the links you need are here:
http://www.nyctaper.com/?p=4
For Windows, I recommend Foobar.
For Mac, I recommend VLC.
If you want to burn to CD, Flac Frontend (windows), and xACT (mac) convert flac to wav.
Why didn’t you record Queens of the Stone Age instead?
I’m sorry, I think I’m doing this all wrong…I downloaded the flac software, and I downloaded the Foobar software as well. But when I tried to play the file I played it through Foobar and I got a white box and it began playing but there was no video, only the music. I’m becoming frustrated and upset…please help! Sorry for being a dork but i really really want to watch this recording!
This is an audio recording, as are all the recordings on this site. There is no video on this site.

wow thanks for putting these up. I was in the front row and couldn’t hear a single thing Kevin was saying. Totally missed out on the bedazzled fannypacks!
No!!! It appears as though I missed this when it was posted? Any way you could put it back up or tell me another place where I can find it? Thanks so much!
