The fourth installment of my ongoing live music encoding project has arrived. I've been converting sets from old cassettes to mp3s, archiving my recordings of the Sub Pop Vermonstress Fest that took place in Burlington, Vermont over a couple days in the fall of 1992.
I started back in May with a set from Six Finger Satellite, and quickly followed with Velocity Girl and Codeine. After a long summer, and by special request, the fourth set is from Boston's own Come. In 1992, Come still had their original lineup of Thalia Zedek, Chris Brokaw, Sean O'Brien, and Arthur Johnson. The band was just two years old, and their amazing debut full-length, Eleven:Eleven, wasn't even out yet (although Sub Pop had already released the "Car" 7'' as part of their singles club). Their live set was powerful, cathartic, messy, and unlike anything I'd ever seen. Soundboard recordings rarely capture the impact of live sets, but this one comes damn close once the levels even out. It has some incredible high points, especially "William" and set closer "S.V.K.". Go on and get 'em. Labels: livemp3s  |
