The Loud Family - Live Tour Compilation 2000

Live Compilation
“Attractive Nuisance” Tour, 2000
(various dates & venues)

audio rip from video recordings (sound quality range: VG+ to VG++; these are very listenable audience recordings, mono sounding; most are from club shows, so there are occasional moments of intrusive crowd noise)
 
The Loud Family plays The Knitting Factory, NYC, April 2000

ROB SEZ: BIG THANKS to DP for the original video recordings, and to 125 Records for releasing these on the most excellent Loud Family Live 2000 DVD (It's still available — and a steal at $15. Order that and/or the Loud Family's live CD compilation From Ritual to Romance HERE)

Repercussion: I didn’t realize the late Scott Miller was such a fan of The dB’s — until I started learning more about him just after his untimely death in April at age 53. In his introduction to the Loud Family’s cover of “Tearjerkin’” (included herein), Scott says the deeBs were one of his favorite bands "of all time". Then, while leafing through his fascinating and well-written Music: What Happened?, I found multiple references to his love not only of The dB’s, but also Chris, Peter, Mitch and Let’s Active.

Poor Kenny got the dreaded head-crop chop!

  1. Just starting to get into Scott's music, and I'm loving these posts. Any chance of a re-up for this one? I'm bummed that the 'Big Plans for Everybody' links don't work anymore - some of that stuff sounds amazing.
