New York might be the home of the next Alabama Shakes, if Lake Street Dive have their way about it. Like their contemporaries down South, the NYC (originally Boston) band channels country and early 60s R&B propelled by a powerful female lead vocalist. Frontwoman Rachael Price has earned accolades as a solo singer, and is the centerpiece of a talented band where several members contribute songs and ideas. This Bowery Ballroom show, opening for the Infamous Stringdusters, gave Lake Street Dive a chance to debut some new songs along with some classics from their self-titled 2010 record, plus a choice cover of the Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back” from their 2012 EP, Fun Machine. Expect to see more from these talented players this year as they prepare their next record, some of which they previewed at this show. The band is on a swing through the much-warmer Southeast right now (tour dates here) so check them out if you’re down that way. Enjoy!
I recorded this set with MBHO KA500N hypercardiod microphones and a custom-made analog preamp. The sound is excellent. Enjoy!

Thanks so much for sharing. Fantastic clarity.
I saw them there for the first time about 2 years ago! Time flies.
Thank you AcidJack for recording and sharing… Ever since the Pickathon this summer they have been one of my favorites!
Thank you so much!!! Great band!! I just saw them for the first time (but certainly not the last) this month. Bought all their officially released recordings. This will be a nice augmentation. Thanks again!!
Track 02 is called “Stop Your Crying” written by Mike Calabrese. It will be tract #2 on “Bad Self Portraits” to e released in Feb 2014. This is not a a great recording of this song, but greatly appreciated.
Hi AcidJack, thanks for sharing this super nice recording! I am enjoying listening this stage set, since I found those music files at 6th February 2020 at here. Except one thing I really regret the tails and heads of all the tracks are overwrapped for few seconds. It disturbs enjoying the atmosphere of an experience to listen to the live performance, can you?
So, I wish you have a little tenderness again to share these recordings by not cutting into tracks. I think I can slice them into each tracks by myself. Or, or, if you slice into each tracks again without any overwrapping of tails and heads, it would be much greater than I expected. Thanks again in advance. Have a great day!
