A Doodee Music Master Recording
"If it's a DOODEE, you know it's the SHITŪ"
- Stripeydave 2008
Lou makes a rare trip down south. I'll always remember this show as the night I abandoned my Audi on the side of the road to get there in time and the first show I taped with a decent deck, the Sony WMD3. The car, turned out to be her final voyage. The deck, turned out to be the first of quite a few satisfying trips together. I literally received the D3 that afternoon and at times on the recording you can tell we're getting acquainted. Nothing major to diminish the enjoyment though. I missed Moe Tucker's opening set and got there just in the nick of time for Lou. I really love the "New York" album - I still consider it one of Lou's strongest - and a lot of material is from that record. Great show in a great little venue. One more note on this - I have a suspicion this is missing a song or two and the last track is out of order. I couldn't find my master cassette to confirm but I think for the purposes of constructing an 80 minute version to fit on one CD this is what might have occurred way back when this was originally transferred. I'll continue to look for the master tape and when found will rectify the situation if that is indeed the case. In the meantine, y'all enjoy.
