bradm Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 ChrisP's recording of the August 25, 2011 show by Bruce Hornsby at the Ottawa Folk Festival is now available via BitTorrent: http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=577402 Huge thanks to Chris for making the recording. Enjoy! Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 What a great day that was. Freaker and I were on site very early to load in Bruce's truck and got to set up all of his gear, including the (massive and very road weary) Steinway. After we were done we watched his sound check while tossing around a football labelled "Bruce". Nearly everyone of his road cases had some type of Grateful Dead sticker, both official and fan made. I'd rank him up there with Bruce Cockburn and Joel Plaskett as the nicest, most chill musicians I have ever had the pleasure to work for. Thanks for the tunes Brad (and Chris)! Is there any chance that Chris taped Levon Helm's set from that weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Is there any chance that Chris taped Levon Helm's set from that weekend? 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:http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=573379 Aloha,Brad Booche 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks guys. I loved this show. By the way Sean, I still have something for you from that weekend that I have been meaning to get to you for years. Message me your address on that Facebook thing. This was one of my favorite festivals ever. So much good shit went down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 If it turns up please upload it Bradm, that OFF performance was one of the last handful of full shows of Levon's life. Address sent Bouche, thanks man! I'm super intrigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Hahahaa, prior to Mighty Rainbow mr Hornsby is requesting requests. I totally forgot that happened. I was so close to him and he pointed towards me with a smile while I kept screaming "TERRAPIN STATION" - hahhha. Thanks for this reminder boys! You can hear ChrisP yelling "Standing On The Moon!"

Booche Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'm so glad this Levon bluesfest is here as well, another relisten today! I had been at The Swell Season and Glen Hansard was so fucking pissed off at the sound bleed on his small stage that he cut that set as short as he could. It was very disappointing feeling his frustrations because he is one of my favorite artists (had to miss him at Jazzfest which almost killed me). Seeing him later on Levon's stage with a huge smile on his face during The Weight totally made my day at Bluesfest. Thanks again Brad. You rock.
