Jaimoe Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Man I miss this crazy bunch of lunatics.This is from the A/V section from their website. It freaking smokes:http://www.oysterhead.com/a-v/video-army.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Man I'm sorry I didn't see this post earlier...I fucking LOVED the Oysterhead album. I only have a copy of one show on the tour, it's pretty good but the sound quality isn't the greatest. Do you know Jaimoe where I could get a copy of the Massey Hall show? I say this with absolutely no shame, that show is easily in my top five shows that I've ever seen. BRING BACK OYSTERHEAD, I say! The playing styles of all three guys (though granted Trey has exhibited a great many different playing styles throughout his career) was so well suited to the trio format...as you said in another thread Jaimoe, definately the coolest and most interesting thing to happen in progressive rock in many years.

bouche Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I remember when I got my car stereo. The Oysterhead cd was the first thing I put on it. I made that decision based on my love for it. I have to dig that out tonight and get it back into the car.That was an AWESOME band! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dJEd Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 maybe i should try Oysterhead again, i remember thinking it was less than good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted June 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Hey Rev,I don't know where you could get your hands on that Massey Hall show. I don't own it myself - I was at the show too and enjoyed it immensely. I would like a copy too. Esau has his sources. So too does Secondtube.

Weirdness Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I taped it from the front row of the balcony, left of center. It turned out pretty good as I recall... Lemmie know if you want do to a B&P or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 i have one of weirdness's copies...i agree with the statement above. Oysterhead Massey Hall show was without a doubt, within my top five shows of all time...(taking out jazz shows) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elemeno Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 hey bouche, i put the same disc in my new stereo this summer to test its limits. that cd has loads of power behind it for just 3 guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark tonin Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 (edited) that cd has loads of power behind it for just 3 guys.Agreed ... I don't know that much about the cd recording and mastering process, but whenever I listen to the Oysterhead cd I notice how loudly and clearly it comes through.Oysterhead is currently one of my son's favourite bands - I put a few tracks from The Grand Pecking Order onto a mixed cd for him. Having said that, Deep Banana Blackout's "Rowdy Duty" has been getting more play time lately. Nyell loves hearing Fuzz play guitar.Peace, Mark Edited June 17, 2005 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted June 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Stewart Copeland's drumming generates much of the power on that CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paan Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I love the CD myself... track 3 is my energizer song. Love that fat bass sound he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 hey Weirdness, would it be tough to get a torrent going for that show? I'll leech away and promise to keep seeding for a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 hey Weirdness, would it be tough to get a torrent going for that show? I'll leech away and promise to keep seeding for a couple of days. I'd happily do the same. Short on disk space over here, haven't downloaded torrents actively in over a year, but would gladly make some room for that show. Also, I used to use Furthurnet a lot and, while I hadn't used it in a long time, I found a whole stash of temp folders, some shows with 2 and a half completed songs, other random shit. Wiped that off and it freed up almost 5GB So yeah, bring on the torrent! Please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I promise to seed it for a few days as well if you open it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Deep Banana Blackout's "Rowdy Duty"awesome cd, I highly recommend this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdness Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Doing a torrent is a possiblilty, but I've got a Denson show from Buffalo last week in line first. Only other issue is that the master was done on a standalone burner and may have "sector boundry" issues meaning that apparently you may hear pops at the beginning of some of the tracks. The alternative is doing another master as single tracks, reading them into the computer, splitting the tracks there, then FLACing the thing up which is way too much work at present. ...far as MMW goes Blane, I am going to be hitting up Buffalo, Toronto and Montreal, so I will definetely be bringing the rig. No Phish, no Slip, gotta hit up the Medeski shows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
