Marchin' on (oof) to the selection for this month- Hipbaser kaisersozee selects next in our chronological journey through Hipstory. We are now upon the Phantom Power tour!
I've never heard this show, and I've cheated and previewed it to myself these past three days, and it is fantastic.kaisersozee wrote:When I was chosen to pick a Phantom Power show I knew it would be hard. What an incredible tour it was full of some of the best recordings ever. I saw 6 shows from that tour (5 of them in a 6 day period – 4 of those in the Phantom Zone) like “Kieffer” last month I decided to go with a show I didn’t see. There are so many iconic shows to choose from like Grape Jam, Bill’s Bar, Zoo Amphitheatre Toledo, Ryan’s Ballroom, Modjeska Wi, or any of the shows I saw in Canada.
I ended up choosing between the Modjeska, the Roxy Halloween show where Gord came out dressed as Fidel Castro and the show I selected 1998-05-18 Cat’s Cradle in Carrboro NC.
The venue has a capacity of 750 people and the intimacy of the show, Gord’s ranting, songs within songs and a 2 encore set with the Rules and Chagrin Falls and killer Meridian decided it.

You can find it on Hipbase but I recommend using this link as this flac is brighter.

Enjoy my Hip Brothers & Sisters!!
The link kaiser posted is just one FLAC file of the whole show. I tried to find it in the Hipbase archive, but could not. Then I did something I had not done in years, and used to do all the time. I had the audacity to give this show my Audacity treatment (I haven't edited a show down in forever). I hope kaiser that you don't mind, but I took the FLAC you posted, and edited it down into tracks. I then exported them as mp3's, and gave them proper tagging. If I do this google drive thing correctly, here's some mp3s for this selection: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qbl9c ... vi1XaLy_-m
After a few soundboards for our selections, we're back to an audience recording. The size of the room shines through on this, in my opinion. One of those rooms where you may not even have to amp the drumkit very much or at all...
Enjoy!
