Cracker: January 15, 2010 Highline Ballroom – Flac and MP3 Downloads

Last Friday, the co-headlining Cracker/Camper Van Beethoven tour rolled into Highline Ballroom. Camper opened the show with a seventy-five minute set, which was exactly what Cracker was scheduled to play to finish the night and what the set-lengths had been all tour. Whether it was something about NYC or if the band was in a giving mood, but Cracker ended up playing a solid two-hour show. The setlist contained many of the standard numbers, but also a few rare nuggets that included “Big Dipper” and a cover of Dylan’s “The Man in Me”. The show ended with both bands playing a blistering nine-minute version of Pink Floyd’s “Interstellar Overdrive” — a Camper fixture that never sounded this good before.

We recorded this set under the same conditions as the Camper recording, with a mix of the board feed and the Neumann mics. The sound quality is outstanding. Enjoy!

This Recording is now available for Download in FLAC and MP3 at Archive.org [HERE].
