ROB SEZ: We're getting back to the origins of the blog with this post. Lilpanda is the one to thank for this very impressive recording. He snagged a direct feed from the soundboard and added an ambient recording using onstage microphones, mixed to create a superb audio artifact. If you leave a comment (GIGANTIC hint) please thank the great Lilpanda.

ROB SEZ: A recording that's new to the blog. I think we needed more of that Holsapple-Stamey vibe, so here 'tis. A show from Peter & Chris' duo tour following the release of Mavericks. This recording didn't get posted in the earlier years of the blog because I could never identify the exact date or who to thank. A VERY LARGE THANKS to the taper & sharer(s). Thanks also to Fantom, whose research suggests the show might have happened on Nov. 9, 1991. Please enjoy.

Musicians:
Chris Stamey - vocals & guitar
Peter Holsapple – vocals & guitar

The first was in Philadelphia on Dec. 5, and the second was this show the next evening in Brooklyn, NY. Thankfully, a couple of fans were there to record some of the songs, so we get to enjoy a bit of virtual reality.
