There are several sources for the 2003 STS9 show: http://www.archive.org/details/sts9-2003-06-13.shnf http://www.archive.org/details/sts9-2003-06-13_skm184.shnf http://www.archive.org/details/sts9-2003-06-13fixO0o.o0O.shnf http://www.archive.org/details/sts9-2003-06-13_Audiotecnica825.shnf Aloha, Brad

They did play it in 2005, though: http://www.archive.org/details/sts9-2005-06-11.flac Aloha, Brad

This man drinks Labatt's 50. Or Molson Export (thanks, Hux!). Aloha, Brad

Dang, this does sound good, especially the guitars, which come through distinctly in the mix. (A lot of the credit for the quality of the recording has to go to the band first and foremost, followed by Jerod, the sound guy at Mavericks. An audience recording can't be any better than the sound in the venue, and the sound on Saturday was great.) Aloha, Brad

Did anybody else catch the tease of "Iron Man" at the tail end of "One Way Out" (d1t06)? It's mostly in the bass, and starts at about the 6 minute mark. Aloha, Brad

I'm about five songs in, and it sounds really good. There's good stereo separation (esp. the guitars), all the instruments are clearly hearable, and the vocals come through pretty well. And the derived files are now available. Aloha, Brad

If only we had got a picture of Hux and bouche carrying the Rhodes across Rideau... Aloha, Brad

Was Todd on the right (bass) side of the stage as you face it? If so, yeah, his vocals could have been a bit more prominent (not necessarily louder) in the mix. Aloha, Brad

The Saturday, Oct. 14, 2006 show by the Fat Cats at Mavericks in Ottawa is now available for download: http://www.archive.org/details/FatCats2006-10-14.oktava.shnf Note: For some reason, the derived (MP3, OGG) files weren't created. I'm checking into it, and when they're available, I'll post an update. Enjoy! Aloha, Brad

Nope (though the cover will be reduced for those in costume), but our band will be in costume. Aloha, Brad

I processed last night's Fat Cats show, and then rehearsed with my band for three or four hours, in prep for our Hallowe'en show. (The rehearsal went well; we're really looking forward to the gig: Oct. 28 at the Bytown Tavern on Elgin.) Aloha, Brad

It has nothing to do with the show or anything, but if this topic was in the Foodeeze Forum, it'd have a whole different meaning... Aloha, Brad

(And has anybody noticed that it says on the back of the ticket that the nero reunion shows are at Mavericks?) Aloha, Brad

'Montana Haze' is the name of that one. [edit to add] Just noticed its earlier in the set, perhaps it was a reprise? The only lyrics I can think of with the line "Dancin' with the moon" is 'Montana Haze' My set-list note-taking must have been 'way off the mark at the end of the second set, because it's actually "Teaspoon." I have no idea how/why I thought there were "Montana Haze" lyrics in it. Aloha, Brad

Thanks, 'bama. I jus started tracking the second set, so I'll see/hear what it is. Aloha, Brad

Here's the set list, as near as I can figure it out: Set I ----- Disco Master's Hand Frontier Burden & Misfortune One Way Out[1] Song For St. Jude > The Fat Man Walks Alone > Down Again Shakedown Street[2] Set II ------ Waiting For Spring Montana Haze Speedballs The Harder They Come[3] Rotan Sweet Lorraina Eyes Of The World[2] > Maracas Teaspoon > Groove Is In The Heart[4] > Teaspoon Encore ------ Powderfinger[5] [1] Elmore James/Marshall Sehorn cover. [2] Grateful Dead cover. [3] Jimmy Cliff cover. [4] Dee-Lite cover. [5] Neil Young cover. Aloha, Brad

Borrowed Rhodes. "Powderfinger" encore. 'Nuff said. Aloha, Brad

It's probably similar to most chili recipes, but I'm doing burrito mix tonight: chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, can of tomatoes, can of black beans (drained and rinsed), package of veggie ground round, spices, hot sauce, all skilleted up. I'll have it tonight, and save the rest (it makes about 6 or 7 servings, one serving = two 7" tortillas). Aloha, Brad

According to http://www.cbc.ca/canada/toronto/story/2006/10/13/caledonia-rally.html Aloha, Brad

Actually, I think he's back in Ottawa; I saw him at the King Sunshine / Lauzon show on Sept. 30. If he's still here, that'd make tonight's Fat Cats show his birthday extravaganza. Aloha, Brad

Caution Jam is at The Comfort Zone. http://www.jambands.ca/sanctuary/showtopic.php?tid/234819/ Aloha, Brad

God Made Me Funky is at The Opera House. I saw them at Babylon, and they throw down a really good hard/fun funky night. http://www.jambase.com/search.asp?band=&venue=&city=toronto&stateID=60&adv=1&fromdate=&todate= Aloha, Brad

This lack of caring about concerns concerns me. And I'll be buying my NYE ticket tomorrow night. Aloha, Brad

Sure I could. You have no idea the heights of incorrectness that I can reach when I put my mind to it. Aloha, Brad
