I'm about halfway through listening to this in an on-again off-again manner.  I gotta tell you, that's a lot of great music for free on a Sunday afternoon.
 
Zeke Gross has such a great tone on the sax.  He makes everything sound like the closing credits of Saturday Night live.
 
You should listen to this recording.

On Friday, July 3, 2015, Pokey LaFarge (live recordings are here) will be playing at Ritual in Ottawa, ON.
 
A Facebook event for the show can be found at

The doors open at 7pm. Tickets are $20 in advance (available on-line and in person at Vertigo records).

Thanks Brad! I noticed you there by the soundboard, was wondering if you got a patch or were going for an aud recording. I was at the back dancing with the guys with canes and crutches.. they were a lot of fun. Sound was definitely the best back where you were, and I could see well. I agree that it was more toward the space funk than last time. Thanks for taping this. We got there about 1/2hour in due to terrible road conditions from Peterborough. A good recording of a good show. Much appreciated.

On Sunday, March 1, 2015, Bumpin' Binary (the organ + drums duo of Don Cummings and Mike Essoudry; live recordings of them are here) will be playing at the Elmdale Oyster House & Tavern in Ottawa, ON.
 
This is an afternoon show: I think the start time is 3:30pm, and it'll probably go to about 6:30pm. A Facebook event for the show can be found at

I'm perfectly aware that this refers to Del McCoury, but every year I see this and momentarily think it's a festival for Del, that bonkers angry guy who used to post here all the time back in the day. That freak used to spice things up on this board. Nostalgia...

can we get a bit of this?

Interesting.
The nine-month-old twins who have taken up residence in my house have kept me from going out much lately, but they've given me a pass this Friday, and I've got plans to head out after work. This all might line up rather nicely.

I

roll-call (and provide info for) a lot of shows
go to a lot of shows (about 50 so far this year as of this week)
record a lot of shows
upload and otherwise share what shows I can
buy CDs from bands whose music I like
spend a good amount of money at venues
play in a band

Is there anything else you'd like me to do?
Aloha,
Brad

I'll check. It hasn't turned up in the recordings I've gone through so far. He did get Levon at Blues Fest the previous year:

Awesome.  Fun to revisit those new additions to the set.  Power of Love, Rock with you, Everybody wants to rule the world were beauty choices eh.

Just a quick report from the south. The shows have been fun, if not completely raging (last night's Weekapaugh being a notable exception). The weather is truly awesome and the strip of hotels around the venue is super-convenient. The NYE gag was pretty lame but who cares?
An added bonus: so far we have spend a total of $80 for two tickets to the first three shows. Yep, the shows have averaged less than $15 a ticket. Could easily be doing it for even cheaper too. Last night we were in our seats shortly after 8pm and the venue was empty. Was there 1,000 people in their seats at 8pm? A half hour later things were filling up, but still.
Tonight I'm calling Hood, YEM, Maze, Contact, with a Character Zero encore.
I am super-excited to visit the dezercollection.com on Monday!

I'm pleased to announce that my most recently uploaded recording
 
https://archive.org/details/chocolatehotpockets2014-06-18.ca-14.flac16
 
is the five hundredth* of my recordings on the Live Music Archive. The full list, sorted by date, is available here.
 
Enjoy!
 
Aloha,
Brad
 
* So far, anyway.
