So Friday at Bottlerock while hanging out watching Finneas we learned that Chris Stapleton had bailed out and that The Highwomen were picked to replace them. I had seen Brandi already that day so I decided to so split time at both headliners: G-Eazy and The Highwomen. I actually checked out the James Murphy DJ set on the way over walking back with some friends and was very impressed as well: there were too many choices that night! We stopped by the bathrooms so my friends could take a leak and that's when I started recording. The "crunching" you hear for the first song is people stepping on pebbles that they had strewn down. I didn't think about that till listening now, that was a bad place to stand. We then walked from the back of the field to roughly where the soundbooth was on the left side. Their set ended pretty early (like 9:37?) and I was bummed because I figured they'd play maybe 15 minutes longer. This isn't a great recording because of the walk but given that they've only performed like three times I figure someone out there might appreciate this. The sound for the last three songs is fine, but the first is super super iffy.

I run a Rage Against the Machine live archive at http://ratm.live.
Please get in touch if you have any recordings of Rage!
