Daniel Romano's Outfit

Roskilde Festival, Denmark

June 29, 2022

   

audience recording (sound quality: VG++ I would've given this a slightly higher rating, but the vocals are a tad distant in the first several songs. Otherwise, this would've earned a rating of Ex-)

THIS is what the fuss is all about:

ROB SEZ: Is Daniel Romano a musical phenomenon or what?! Canada's multi-modal wunderkind has been recording and issuing albums at a dizzying pace for years, at various times inhabiting musical styles from country to new wave to folk to 1970s AOR to post-punk to blazing rock 'n' roll. (If your punk is not yet "post," be sure to check out Daniel in his Ancient Shapes incarnation.) For his more recent LPs and tours, he's taken inspiration from the mid-1970s Dylan (perched somewhere between Rolling Thunder Revue era Bob and Before the Flood era Bob & The Band). Does he pull it off? I say yes, but humbly suggest you should decide for yourself. Check the video sample, then hit the download button. The sound quality on this recording is great, putting you in the front of the house for a thunderous live show. All thanks & praise to spurrs for another excellent capture. If you like this ROIO, you need to go buy DR's 2020 live release Okay Wow (cover above, right) or Fully Plugged In. If you're curious about DR's latest studio LP, it's called La Luna (cover at right). Some people are calling it a masterpiece...

WFMU says: Since their formation in 1994, Toronto's Sadies have developed, even perfected, a style of music that is uniquely their own. Possessing a deep fondness and reverence for the best of country, bluegrass and blues (CBGB!), they are equally informed and influenced by everything from 60s garage and psychedelic rock (Pebbles, Nuggets, et al) to surf instrumentals and punk rock. The Sadies have consistently pushed themselves forward into new areas while refining their approach to what they do - creating a constantly evolving catalogue of work and picking up legions of new converts with each successive tour. Their concerts, legendary since their earliest days have only gotten better over the years. Though the three-hour marathons of yore may happen less frequently, The Sadies have always prided themselves on a well-paced live show, starting off strong and gradually building things up to fever pitch then bringing it back home (often with a nice surprise or two along the way), before sending everyone home with a smile on their face. The live experience has it all, blistering instrumentals, country rave-ups, super-human guitar interplay and mind blowing psychedelic expeditions that can end up anywhere.

   

ROB SEZ: BIG-TIME THANKS to WFMU for arranging the show, recording, and sharing. Check out The Sadies most recent long-player: Colder Streams (AllMusic rating = 4.5 stars out of 5; cover art above). And: what a shame about Dallas Good. He's gone WAY too soon...
