    ROB SEZ: I am pleased beyond words to offer a rare & rockin' Alex Chilton Trio show in great sound quality, thanks to Tom at The McKenzie Tapes. If you check out the site, you’ll discover that The McKenzie Tapes is an amazing treasure trove of live recordings from the mid-1980s and early 1990s, mostly in & around NYC. To my knowledge, this is the first online sharing of this show in lossless quality. I did very little to modify the recording as received, except to track it, apply a couple of fade-ins and fade-outs, and edit out a few minutes’ worth of onstage tuning and dead air. Enjoy, and please leave a comment to let Tom & David McKenzie know how much you appreciate their work!

    1. Thanks for processing this, Rob. Was on a to-do list that wouldn't have gotten to frankly for years. ... But what a line up - Chilton/Keene/11th Dream Day.....

      2. Yep, have it and find it fascinating... Posted one track couple weeks back.

        Time for a post about the break up of 'PHC'?

      3. I saw that notice from Peter, but I wonder if it's really a "breakup" or just a hiatus? I read the thing twice, but I'm still not sure...
