After his impressive multi-instrument performances with Camper Van Beethoven on Friday and Saturday, Jonathan Segel stepped forward and performed a set at Pianos last Sunday. Segel’s solo work features primarily his songwriting and outstanding guitar work. Although the Pianos set was limited by time constraints, there was certainly enough time for Segel to exhibit his guitar proficiency to the intimate yet enthusiastic crowd. The highlights included “Civil Disobedience” and the catchy “I Can’t Help It”.
We recorded this set from our standard location at Pianos. Although perhaps the drums were a bit too loud in the room, the clarity of this recording is quite excellent. Enjoy!
The Victor Krummenacher and Sharon Van Etten sets were also recorded and will be featured on nyctaper in the near future.
This Recording is now available for Download in FLAC and MP3 at Archive.org [HERE].

Hi,
I was at the Piano show and I’m very excited to hear it again.
However, I am very computer/download challenged and my buddy Morst probably won’t be here until September to help me.
If you send me your mailing address I’ll drop a check in the mail for $25..maybe then you could mail me a disk..It would be greatly appreciated..especially for “civil”.
regards,
glenn [edit – phone number removed]
glenn, I’m going to edit that public comment to take your phone number off of it.
But seriously, there’s no fee for downloading the music on this site. Its illegal and immoral and a violation of the trust of these artists.
What I can suggest is that you just click on the [HERE] for downloading mp3s and I’ll walk you through the conversion.
thank you..but it wasn’t meant as fee..just to help defray…i’ll give ‘here’ a go
found this page in a google search. thanks for crediting me with the photo of Jonathan. great blog!
