Grant Lee Phillips
Joe’s Pub NYC, NY
24 January 2014


OK, so I had no clue this gig was re-scheduled and Grant Lee was gong to me in town but I got the message mid-day-of-show. I did not have me edirol with me. So my choices were elite with no tape or improvise and see if there was some kind of iPhone ap I could use.

I found “recorder plus” and for a total of $9 I was rolling full features and high fidelity. Supposedly. So I went to the show and it was early 7pm and I had to dash from work to get there and I was 1.5 songs late. So sadly this recording is missing the first song of the set and I have just one minute of the second. I am as disappointed as you are.

SO I got my seat and fired this thing up and let it roll.

Grant played an amazing set. Some really nice new songs and lot sod old favorites. He took some requests and had some great banter and reminisces of NYC back in the day. HE really never lets you down that Grant Lee. Not me at least. I think he deserves a ton more attention then he gets. What great songs and the playing, so skilled but never flashy. So yeah, this was a real kick ass show. As the lyric says.. Strangest thing the way that one guitar Can move me more than any symphony

So I downloaded the show from my phone to my Mac and cut into tracks and exported to FLAC with Amadeus Pro. Since it was recoded on the phone with just one mic it was a mono master; so I also made the “stereo”-2 track - version with Amadeus Pro as well. Then fingerprints created with xACT; Torrent file generation and upload facilitated with Transmit.

As my first try with this recorder I was not sure what size file it would make so I recorded at 16/44 and that is what is provided here.

and with all that, I hope you Enjoy!
