Lineage: Stealth recorded and minimally produced by mrsaureus, standing on the floor in the center about 30 ft. back from the stage. Core-Sound High End Binaurals (DPA-4060 capsules) to Sony PCM-M10 (48 kHZ, 24 bit), WavePad Sound Editor to cut into songs and export as 24 bit/ 48 kHz waves. Switch Sound File Converted to convert to 16 bit/44.1 kHz flacs. If people want it, I can share the 24/48 version. This is an audience recording that aims to document the experience of being in the crowd at the show, and features occasionally loud but appropriate crowd noise. This is the first time this recording is being shared.


I like to check in on George Thorogood every couple of years to a get a fix of that familiar but always exhilirating rock �n� roll tornado that Georgy never fails to whip up. The last time I saw George was almost three years ago to the day at the Wellmont, and I�m happy to report that he hasn�t changed much, and he certainly hasn�t lost any energy. The setlist has a few new tunes sprawled around the must-play core set, but the schtick is almost exactly the same, some of the bits repeated almost word for word. George can get away with this because he wins the audience over so completely. When he whips off his sunglasses at the start of the show and grins at the crowd, it�s like the opening to The Music Man: Professor George Thorogood has us completely charmed and we�re buying what he�s selling. He�s one of the neediest performers I�ve ever seen, and the steady call for audience affirmation just tightens the connection. By the end of the show we�re not just bystanders, we�re co-conspirators, and if George goes to jail for R�n�R, then let them round us all up.

Robert Randolph proteges The Slide Brothers got things off to a brisk start with some moanin� blues. When you got a band full of pedal steel, suddenly it seems like every song is about a train, but you know what? There are a hell of a lot of good train songs.

Incidentally, on the way up to Port Chester we stopped off at City Island for a delicious lobster dinner. If you live in the area and you�ve never been to City Island you got to check it out. It�s like a little bit of Maine got nipped off and plopped down in the Bronx. It�s a really cool place, with it�s nautical junk stores and beautiful Victorian houses, and ghostly doppleganger Hart Island full of dilapidated insane asylums and mass anonymous graves just east. Easily one of the coolest and least known places in the city.
