So here's the latest recording from Arlo Guthrie's 20/20 Tour which has kinda been put on hold for now. Hope you enjoy!  If you listen through a good set of headphones, it's basically like being me during the show.  What I heard is just what you will... I've leave it for you to decide if that's a good thing!  This is a dinner/drinks kinda venue, so please excuse the occasional sipping of a Fat Tire or munching of a BBQ sandwich by the taper. Oh, and a big thanks to John Claeys for the cover photo I used.

NOTES:
First time seeing Alan Parsons Project live and it did not disappoint! It did take me a bit to get used to P. J. Olsson's vocals, but by the end of the show I was thinking I could listen to them for a few more hours... LOL!  Sorry about the chatter through a few of the songs, seems like I always end up next to these folks.  This recording marks another first... I didn't feel the need to apply any EQ to it whatsoever, and I'm thinking that simply acknowledges just how great an engineer / producer Alan Parsons is.  Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did!!!

NOTES:
First note... The Birchmere serves food and beverages, and it shows up in the recording.  Also, there was one point after "This Land" where my mic cord came loose from the recorder - you'll hear a change in audio quality as I fumble to hook it back in.  All that aside, this is an enjoyable recording capturing one of the early shows in this tour!  If you get to go see it live, please do - there's a lot more going on than is captured here.

NOTES:
I thought this recording turned out real nice!  However, after doing everything I realized one thing I forgot... The audio channels (L+R) are reversed.  I had forgotten to swap them.  I don't think it detracts from the recording in any way, but wanted to make you aware of it.  Also, there are 2 points where the audio level and quality changes for a short bit - that is due to me turning my head to follow the show at the other end of the arena (or at the end of my row... Chris Caffery actually stopped right at the end of the row I was in).  Again, not a huge deal.  And at one point you can hear the girls next to me laughing... That was due to the guy in front of us getting up, and realizing the people next to him were older and couldn't easily stand up, he climbed over the chair to exit our row.

Notes:
This was the opening act for Grace Potter & The Nocturnals at Wolf Trap.  I'd never heard them before, but as soon as they took the stage, I was digging it!  Nice mixture of rock, blues, and funk.  Being unfamiliar, I'm not sure all the track names are right, but I took a shot at it.  If I do have a track mislabeled, please let me know so I can correct it.  Enjoy!

Notes:
Another fantastic evening with Robert Plant. And a pretty decent recording if I do say so.  Robert was in great voice, and offered up a healthy dose of Led Zeppelin tunes, as well as some of my favorite solo material.  It was really great hearing In The Mood and Big Log after many years.  I have also included the opening act along with this recording as I'd never heard of Bombino before, but they really laid down some nice jams.  Sorry about the drunk and possibly tripping woman in the recording.  Not sure how I end up next to these people all the time.  Anyway, enjoy the show - I sure
did!

Notes:
This was my 2nd time seeing the Doobies, and I enjoyed this show a lot more than the first time a year ago when they opened for Lynyrd Skynyrd at the Abereen Proving Grounds in MD. While this didn't turn out to be what I'd consider to be one of my best recordings, it's still a decent representation of the show.  There's a good mix of the more popular tunes, some off the new "World Gone Crazy" album (which I'd highly recommend getting if you don't have it), and a few deep cuts that you don't hear as much of.  Enjoy!

Notes:
This was the opening act for Queensryche at the State Theater.  I'd never heard of these guys, but was really blown away by the talent.  This is an acoustic set, with Sass Jordan providing the vocals and Brian Tichy on acoustic guitar and percussion.  I'd never seen or heard anyone both play guitar as well as provide the beat on percussion at the same time before, loads of talent here!  They describe this as "capo rock".  It's got a nice bluesy / folk rock feel to it.  The only downside to this recording is it's length, on the positive side, it's a quick download.  I would have loved to have seen / heard more though.  Be sure to check out the web links folder and Tom's website (linked above) for some really great photos of these guys and a link to the band's website.  Enjoy!

NOTES:
Fantastic collection of songs in this show!  This is one of my first recordings and I wasn't using the greatest mic available, but with a little tweaking to the EQ, I think the resulting recording here came out quite nicely.  Some highlights include Abe doing all the vocals on Xavier's song "Alone", Arlo goofing up and starting to play "Here We Are / Way Out In The Country" but singing Stealin', and there's a good bit of Sarah Lee Guthrie from early on in her career.  Overall, a great performance by all!

Total Time:      2:27:30

NOTES:
This was an informal show put on by Abe & Randy on the afternoon before the annual Guthrie Center Fall Fundraiser show later in the evening.  The "happy birthday" during the second set was for Dennis LaChapelle (Arlo Guthrie's long time bus driver, and fan favorite).  This recording is dedicated to the memory of Dennis, who passed away December 20, 2008.

LaCHAPELLE, Dennis Dennis LaChapelle, 58, husband of Deb (Fitzgerald) LaChapelle, passed on unexpectedly on Saturday (December 20, 2008). He was born in Manchester, to Clarence and Ruth, the 12th of their 13 children. He later settled in Becket, MA where he planted the roots for the life that he embraced. Dennis touched so many lives, near and far, while enjoying decades of travels throughout the world while driving folk singer and dear friend Arlo Guthrie's tour bus. He enjoyed sharing stories of his journeys and takes many great memories with him. He was currently employed by the Massachusetts Highway Department where he took pride in keeping the roads safe for everyone. He loved to drive, fix things, anything mechanical, and most importantly to lend a hand to help everyone and anyone he could. He also loved pepper and spicy food, and surely had a zest for life. Dennis will always be remembered as a big huggable guy with a heart of gold, enthusiastic spirit, and an ear to ear smile. The road of destiny now drives Dennis to where his help must be needed next. Besides his wife Deb and her children Sam, Zach, and Sara and grandchildren Tyler and Serena; Dennis is survived by six LaChapelle brothers, Clarence, Ted, Jerry, Fred, Joe, and Greg; four sisters, Mary Mazzochi, Eileen Fuller, Judy Fuller, and Margaret Yonika; three foster brothers, John and Bob Hershey, and Armand LeBrie; many nieces and nephews; a huge Blunderite family; and countless "bus driver groupies". He is predeceased by his parents, Clarence and Ruth (Bennett) LaChapelle; two brothers, Jack and David; and a step-grandchild Brodie. A "Celebration of Dennis' Life" will be held at 2 p.m. on Monday, December 29, at The Guthrie Center, 4 Van Deusenville Rd., Great Barrington, MA.
