ROB SEZ: By request, here's my all-time favorite boot by the mighty Rain Parade. UPDATE: Colin has upgraded and remastered this for his Dream Remaster blog. Surf over there and check it out... Want more Rain Parade? Look for some older posts here and also at Big Plans for Everybody blog, where Rushbo has posted many great recordings.

Taper Maurizio (‘Ratpie’) comments:

A picture disc was bootlegged from this very recording (actually a copy of my tape), but the mastering work was awful and the sound quality is a lot worse than the original - also, it has 11 tracks; here we have 17. This is the whole thing, from the venue manager's introduction straight to the encores. Hope you enjoy. All the best from Italy.

Rob-in-Brevard “tweak” in Audacity: it was a coupla years ago, so I cannot recall exactly what I did, but I’m guessing I applied some modest hiss reduction and a slight bit of compression

ROB SEZ: Finds like this one remind me how great it is to be a music fan living in the Internet era. I have a ton of S & G boots, but this DVD just turned up online. Although some tracks from this show have circulated for many years, the fidelity was very poor. Stunned by the high quality of this new, full-length recording, I created a lossless audio rip for my own enjoyment. It turned out so well that I decided to share it here. (Yes, I do know how to spell the last name of Simon's musical partner, but I'm trying to keep the Internet cops at bay — even though this has never been officially released.) Please enjoy.

The dB's - Maxwell's, Hoboken, N.J. Nov. 1984

Maxwell's
Hoboken, N.J.
Nov. 8, 1984

audience recording (master tape source)

sound quality: VG (the taper was close to the front, which means we benefit from a nice ‘live’ sound from the stage; but there are some recurring volume fluctuations — presumably due to mic movement)

01 Neverland

A motley, but very worthy crew: The dB's in 1984

02 Love Is for Lovers
03 She Got Soul
04 Lonely Is (As Lonely Does)
05 Bad Reputation
06 Amplifier
07 Not Cool
08 Lawyers, Guns & Money (Warren Zevon cover) 
09 Spitting In the Wind
10 Suspicious Minds (Mark James/Elvis cover)
11 A Spy In the House of Love
12 New Gun In Town
13 Black and White
14 She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain (brief)
15 See No Evil (Television cover)
16 Heart of Gold (Neil Young cover)
17 Sex Drive (The Embarrassment cover)
18 I Love You Suzanne (Lou Reed cover)

ROB SEZ: This one turned up recently, so of course I'm sharing it here. A ragged, raw & fun show, with some rare covers like Lou Reed's "I Love You, Suzanne" and Will trading verses with Peter on "Lawyers, Guns & Money." Enjoy — and Peter Holsapple fans should poke around to find mystery bonus material.
