Sean Nelson - backing vocals

Before the scheduled show at Largo at the Coronet on April 1, 2011, RH played three clandestine gigs at Largo's "Little Room." The tiny bar across the courtyard that holds about 50 people at best. Each show had a slightly different lineup of musicians, and were "no repeat" shows - a rule that was violated only once. Not an easy room to tape in. There is one mic in the center of the stage. Not much of a PA system at all. It's almost as if they are playing in your living room with no amps. A very unique three days of Robyn Hitchcock greatness. Enjoy.

I'll eventually upload all three Little Room shows and the 4/1 show with Jon Brion and Grant Lee Phillips. No particular order. This is Night 3. Jon Brion played the whole show except the encore. Bill Rieflin played various percussive toys and and tambourine. His only drum was an empty Harp Lager box. Sean Nelson (Harvey Danger) is still great. Perhaps the best sounding of the three. Recorded the closest to the stage.

If burning to CD follow the disc breaks below. If not, the show will play seamless.
