On a night of celebration, O’Death played an energetic and thoroughly entertaining set in what may be their last show for quite some time. Last night at Brooklyn Bowl, the band headlined a show that was both the holiday show for The Music Slut blog and a birthday celebration for TMS’s founder Jen. Apart from the surroundings, what made this show special was the extraordinary effort of one member of the band — a truly remarkable exercise in courage and fortitude. O’Death drummer Dave Rogers-Berry is fighting cancer and will be going through another series of procedures this coming week. If any of the fans attending the concert were unaware of this fact, the music coming from the stage would not have given them a clue. Dave played as he has always performed at O’Death shows, enthusiastic and indefatigable. In their fifty-minute set, the band split the setlist evenly among their two excellent full-lengths, Head Home and Broken Hymns, Limbs and Skin, and finished the set with a rousing “Allie Mae”.

We recorded this set with a four-channel mix of the soundboard and two microphones set back at the board cage. The room noise (bowling!) was not nearly as loud as the last time we visited this venue. Nevertheless, the mix is 70% board and 30% audience, and the potential delay or drift was remedied in post production with a time shift. The result in a superb capture of an outstanding concert. Enjoy!
