New York's live music archivist
We posted about the Steve Wynn set a couple of months ago. The former frontman for the Dream Syndicate will perform the complete The Days of Wine and Roses with his band Steve Wynn & the Miracle 3 at Maxwell’s. Steve has graciously permitted nyctaper to capture this historic concert in its best possible light and even invited us to the soundcheck.
Today we learned that we will be permitted to also record Freedy Johnston‘s set. Freedy will be performing his album Can You Fly in its entirety. We also recorded Freedy more than a decade ago at the Fleadh Festival and we’re going to dig into the archives and try to post that show before tomorrow.

When we posted yesterday about the Dirty on Purpose gig at the McCarren Pool Afterparty, the day time pool bands were TBA for August 10. We did not realize that just a few hours later the bands would be confirmed for that date. Felice Brothers are the headliners, and our old friends Deer Tick are also on the bill.
We figure this is good time to offer a download of Deer Tick‘s (John solo) performance from the Bowery opening for Jaymay in June. This recording was captured by Matt from brooklynvibes, and he reports that John was very well received by the crowd who also included Jaymay in the audience for this set. To bring this post full circle, Jaymay also supported her friends in Dirty on Purpose with a guest vocal on “Like Bees” earlier this year.
Matt recorded this with his high end AKG microphones and the sound is spectacular. Enjoy!

From our friends at Hooves on the Turf comes two amazing clips of Sharon Van Etten singing two of her songs acappella in the secret garden at Prospect Park. Please click on the Hooves link and read their wonderful write-up and for an additional video.
Sharon has also added a new performance date, Monday July 28 at The Annex.
In March, when guitar virtuoso and former Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler was announced for a July 23 Central Park gig, we bought a ticket forthwith for the full ticketmaster price. Sadly, the forecast (see above) for this early evening event has become worse as this week has progressed. Essentially, early tonight the skies are going to open and the massive rains will prevent a nyctaper recording of this show despite Knopfler’s permissive taping policy. Apologies to the readers who have been anxiously awaiting this one.
Its been a while since our latest update, and we have many new additions. As the Fall concert season approaches, the indoor events are now beginning to be announced often — expect more additions.
