Govt Mule: June 8, 2013 Mountain Jam – Flac/MP3/Streaming

June 15, 2013

As one of the organizers of Mountain Jam, Warren Haynes sure knows how to throw a party. This year was the ninth annual festival on Hunter Mountain and it was also the first time that the nyctaper crew attended the entire event, after a one-day flirtation last year. While Warren performed on various stages with a whole bunch of bands, much of which we recorded, the Saturday night performance of his main band Govt Mule is always the centerpiece of the Jam. This year the band performed two sets over a four hour period. The first set was primarily original Mule material, although one of the set one highlights was the jam in the middle of a twelve-minute “Effigy” that made a quick run through Johnny Cash’s “Folson Prison Blues”. But it was the second set where the band really shined, particularly in some stunning covers. We are streaming the Etta James classic “I’d Rather Go Blind”, which featured a stage-full of guests, including the Soulive horns, Bill Evans on sax, and guest vocals from Alecia Chakour. This song was the number one highlight of the entire festival for me personally during three days of music where there were countless highlights. Govt Mule will be on the Festival circuit for the entire summer starting in Europe before returning to the US in July.

The taping situation at Mountain Jam is certainly friendly. While the stages are at the bottom of the hill directly in front of the ski resort buildings, the tapers are in an advantageous position farther up the hill eye-level with the huge stacks. We utilized the Neumann TLM-102 cardioids for the entire festival because they are warm and full bodied in an outdoor setting. The Mule set was mixed particularly well, and the combination of the location, the mics and the house mix has yielded a simply superb recording — perhaps my best outdoor recording ever. Enjoy!

Mountain Goats: June 5, 2013 Maxwells – Flac/MP3/Streaming

June 13, 2013

The current Mountain Goats tour is a bit of a throwback of sorts. After tours as a trio with drummer Jon Wurster and tours where the band added new players such as horns, a second guitarist, and various special guests, this month the Mountain Goats is a John Darnielle and Peter Hughes duo. The stripped down stage show gives the band a chance to take some chances. Last week at Maxwell’s, this included some older and rare numbers, including the twelve year old never-heard-before track from the Alpha series, “Alpha Chum Gatherer” (streaming below), and some out of the blue covers (“Ripple” streaming below). This tour is also playing to much smaller rooms than Mountain Goats tend to play these days, and the chance to experience the band in an intimate setting like Maxwell’s was a treat. This tour continues through the month of June in the Midwest and South.

I recorded this set in our usual manner at this venue. The band’s outstanding FOH Brandon Eggleston is responsible for the superb mix of this particular show and the prime quality of this recording is a tribute to his talents. Enjoy!

Holly Miranda: June 2, 2013 Glasslands – Flac/MP3/Streaming

June 6, 2013

A small record label is going to get very lucky in the near future. After she moved to LA and was released from her contract with XL Recordings, Holly Miranda has spent the last couple of years writing, recording and perfecting a new album. At Glasslands on Sunday night, much of the new album material was on display. From the first notes of the opener “Mark My Words” it was very much apparent that Holly is truly “back”, and as she worked through the set with a full band (including horns) I came to the very inescapable conclusion that the new album is the best music she’s ever written. As the new record is shopped to the appropriate label, my guess is that it won’t be long before someone snaps it up. The songs magnify all of Holly’s strengths — her ability to write and perform everything from blues-based rock to sweet love songs, and many styles in between. We’re streaming “The Only One”, a song that I had never heard before but which struck me instantly with its true beauty. We really could have streamed any highlight, because there were many. Holly Miranda will play again in NYC at Rockwood Music Hall on July 17.

We recorded this set with our installed rig (Naiant Cards plus board) and the sound is superb. Enjoy!

Julia Weldon: May 29, 2013 Rock Shop – Flac/MP3/Streaming

June 4, 2013

By nyctaper

[screen shot from this video]

We receive hundreds of sample tracks every month, and I try to listen to all of them. Every once in a while there is an artist whose talent jumps out at me immediately. This was the case with Julia Weldon, whose recorded music is so impressive that we took a mid-week trip all the way out to Rock Shop just to be able to catch her live. There’s a great moment on this recording where a guy who wandered into the back room of Rock Shop mid-set spontaneously can be heard to say “she’s great” near the end of “Marian” streaming below. Julia is that kind of performer — whose talent is so obvious that a perfect stranger, likely in the venue to see another act, is compelled blurt out a superlative to no one in particular. Her set included some older numbers, but concentrated on her soon to be released new album, Light Is A Ghost. We are confident that with the new material and a consistent performing schedule, Julia will soon be playing in larger venues to much larger crowds, and eventually touring behind a prominent indie-label release. Such things are pretty easy to predict.

Julia Weldon will be playing at Knitting Factory on July 19, in a release show for a her new CD.

We recorded this set with the large diaphragm Neumann TLM-102 cards, which seemed to work well in this small room. Other than some non-optimal aspects of the mix, we’re pleased with the result. Enjoy!

VietNam: May 18, 2013 Glasslands – Flac/MP3/Streaming

May 31, 2013

By nyctaper

[photo by Renee Ligtvoet for Bushwick Daily]

The conventional description of the music of VietNam is that its 60s-influenced. But given the long hair, long beards, clothing styles, crowded stage of multi-instrumentalists, and melodic back-beat minor-chord based songs, its pretty clear this band is directly descended from the mid-70s post-hippie movement personified mostly by the Rolling Thunder Revue. As with Rolling Thunder, the stage energy is focused primarily on one enigmatic and magnetic presence, in this case its Michael Gerner who last released a VietNam album in 2007. The surprising return of the band is buoyed by the new album A.merican D.ream (Mexican Summer Records) which like its five-year old predecessor, is a strong album of self-described “apocalyptic street blues”. At Glasslands on Saturday last, the band completed a short tour and the hometown show was both a strong finale to the tour and a reintroduction of VietNam as an excellent live band. The setlist was equally distributed among the new album and the older one, and during the hour-long set we became completely convinced that the band does its predecessors proud.

I recorded this set with our installed Naiant cardioid microphones mixed with an excellent board feed provided by Glasslands superb FOH Josh. The sound quality is superb, enjoy!

Amanda Palmer: May 25, 2013 Bowery Ballroom – Flac/MP3/Streaming (Mermaid Support Download)

May 27, 2013

By nyctaper

I think its fair to say that Amanda Palmer is an artist who generates strong feelings. Her followers are passionate ardent supporters. I consider myself one of them. We love her persona, her music, and her fan-based approach to the business of music. But she has her detractors, some of whom are my friends and who I consider to be honestly misguided. We agree to disagree. Others unfortunately are loud obnoxious self-loathing misogynist thugs who hate simply because a woman with a strong personality cuts against the grain of traditional approaches to music. Whatever your feelings, you have to respect what she did on Saturday night at Bowery Ballroom. Amanda was sick, but took a train from Boston to play a show for free to support a very worthy cause, the annual Coney Island Mermaid Parade, which due to storm damage, is in danger of being canceled this year. For her headlining set, Amanda also brought out all the stops. The set opened with her grand entrance, carried onto the stage in a mermaid outfit, where she opened with a cover of the Disney Little Mermaid theme “Part of Your World.” The setlist consisted of a mix of eclectic covers, classic AFP material, a compelling new song, and the surprise of the evening, a Dresden Dolls reunion and the performance of two Neutral Milk Hotel covers. Amanda ended the memorable night was the classic “Ukelele Anthem” which we’re streaming below. Amanda Palmer will return to NYC with the Grand Theft Orchestra for a free outdoor show at Damrosch Park on August 9.

I recorded this set in our usual manner in this venue, Sennheiser cards mounted in the balcony and mixed with an excellent board feed. The room was again expertly mixed by Bowery FOH Kenny, and the result is a superb recording. Enjoy!

Stream “Ukelele Anthem”:

Iron and Wine: May 19, 2013 Capitol Theatre Portchester – Flac/MP3/Streaming

May 23, 2013

Exactly four years ago, Sam Beam took Iron and Wine into a series of intimate venues for a solo tour of very memorable nights. We were fortunate to capture one of the two nights at the tiny Abrons Arts Center on the Lower East Side and it was one of the best shows we saw that year. On Sunday night, we caught the Portchester stop on the current tour and the stage setting couldn’t have been any more different. This version of Iron and Wine has 13 people on stage, including a horn section and a string trio. Sam is touring on the new album Ghost On Ghost and the new release is a “big” record with wide arrangements and touches of jazz, bebop and ragtime, which makes the big band necessary for the new material but also offers the opportunity to re-figure some older material. Early in the set we were moved by the new arrangement of “Kingdom of the Animals” and we are streaming it below. The Capitol show was lengthy with a representative setlist of older and new songs and a few covers, and also included a short solo segment mid-set. Despite the nearly two hours of music, the juxtaposition of styles, witty banter and full stage kept the show moving and it was thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining throughout. Iron and Wine will tour Europe beginning later this month before returning for Fall dates in Canada and the US.

I recorded this set under some difficult circumstances. Due to venue restrictions for a seated show, I was set up at the very rear of the floor and was only permitted to raise the mic stand to about 4 feet. The result is that the recording is somewhat muffled, but more troublingly the low height captured a hum/buzz in the left channel from what I believe was the lighting system in front of the mics. Otherwise, the recording is well balanced and has a nice deep presence. With these caveats, enjoy!

Lady Lamb the Beekeeper: May 11, 2013 Glasslands – Flac/MP3/Streaming

May 13, 2013

By nyctaper

[photos by Dominic Mastrangelo]

It was three years ago that we saw what I believe to have been one of the first Lady Lamb the Beekeeper shows in New York, a solo set at the opening night of the Rock Shop. That was back in the days when Skippy was still in NYC and billed a show for the ages that night — Sharon Van Etten and TuneYards headlined the bill. Aly Spaltro was still a teenager at that point, but it was obvious that she was abundantly talented with unlimited potential. She was signed to Bada Bing Records, and after several self-released albums, the first proper Lady Lamb album came out this year. Ripely Pine is a superb album that highlights Aly’s strengths — emotional vocals, intimate songwriting and aggressive musicianship. This is also an album that will profile her talents to a much wider audience. We saw the beginnings of that at a packed Glasslands on Saturday night. While the front half of the crowd consisted of fan-boys and fan-girls who seemed to know all the words to the songs, the back half of the crowd contained those “here to be seen” types who are both a blessing and a curse to an artist — more ticket sales but less attention. Aly’s set consisted of much of Ripely Pine and a few older songs. We were particularly impressed with “Bird Balloons” which opened the set with a fury that never let up. Lady Lamb continues the tour on the East Coast before heading to Europe in the end of May.

I recorded this set in our usual manner in this venue, with the mounted Naiant cards matrixed with an excellent board feed mixed by Glasslands excellent house FOH Josh. The packed Saturday night crowd presented some challenges as the din of chatter is present at quiet moments. We were also visited by persistent thumps from the DJ at 285 next door. Otherwise the sound quality is excellent, and with those caveats, enjoy!

NYCTaper is 6 Years Old Today

May 11, 2013

By nyctaper

It was six years ago today, May 11, 2007 that I opened NYCTaper as an experiment in a new way to distribute live recordings in the context of a music blog. Today I can say that the site has exceeded my expectations in every imaginable way. Thanks for our faithful readers, the addition of three other excellent editors and multiple other contributors, the site is now a mainstay and something for which we can all be proud. So thanks for six great years!

Last year we had a big party for our Fifth Anniversary, an epic show at 285 Kent headlined by Oneida. Their set is still available [HERE].
