It was such a positive experience last Summer when Steve Wynn and the Miracle 3 performed The Days of Wine and Roses at Maxwell’s. We were so impressed at the quality of the playing and the energy that the entire show was a revelation. Last night at Bell House, The Miracle 3 were even better in their start-to-finish performance of The Dream Syndicate’s The Medicine Show. This was one of the best, if not the best, concert we have seen this year. Steve was in fine form vocally and on the guitar and the band absolutely smoked. As the band approached the penultimate song on the album “John Coltrane Stereo Blues”, Steve joked about how it was time to jam — and they certainly did. “Coltrane” was over 12 minutes of guitar shredding, instantaneous tempo changes, and ultimately cacophony. The remaining six songs (three from Wine and Roses and three Miracle 3 numbers) were pure enjoyable icing. It felt as if there wasn’t a midnight show in the venue that the band would have played all night.
With Steve’s blessing, we arrived at soundcheck and set up the microphones just to the left of the soundboard booth. With the help of the outstanding soundman at Bell House (Jeff), we also captured a stereo feed from the board. The four tracks were mixed down and the result is a professional quality listening experience. We are extremely pleased with this recording. Enjoy!
