The Slip - 2004-05-27 - Cabaret, Montreal, QC

[bradm]

I've been cleaning up my PC's hard drive lately, and came across a recording I made of The Slip in Montreal back in May, 2004. I couldn't find any other torrents of the show (I know Weirdness recorded it, but I don't know if he ever torrented his source), so I decided to offer it up before I backed it up to CD-R:

[1] Neil Young cover (instrumental) - Brad introduced Neil as, "One of the best humans, who happened to be Canadian."
[2] Still actually untitled.
[3] Mr. Meowskers on shakers.

Notes:
1. The venue has a U-shaped second floor/balcony; the mics were placed about 18" apart at the bottom of the 'U'.
2. There were disc changes after d1t07 and d2t07.
3. The levels are a bit low.

If you already have a copy of this show, it'll probably sound better than mine, so only grab this one if you don't already have it.

Aloha,
Brad

loving the 2004 shows by the way

Yes, thanks so much for sharing this! I have not heard the other source but look forward to hearing this one.

Thanks, everybody. I also recorded the opening act at that show, Grand Theft Bus, from Fredericton, NB; they're on the Live Music Archive (here), and I uploaded my recording:

As far as I know, I was the only one who recorded them that night, and I actually think it sounds quite a bit better than my Slip recording. (GTB also headlined their own show in Ottawa the previous night; my recording of them that night is available here.)

Aloha,
Brad

Nice! Thanks for putting this up, I may have an old source, but I'm not sure.

I remember the lighting for photos was pretty decent that night too. Here's a few:

(Children of December, probably?)

As I recall, the video from that night came out pretty well too. Only saw it once though and I don't think anything was ever done with it.

i wish there was some more older slip videos on youtube, id be nice to a video of this show pop up one day or maybe some of the footage will make it onto that documentary of the band brad was talking about at one of the 2007 shows, itd be neat to see a video log of all the different transitions they've gone through musically but...who knows if anything will ever come of it...

[putty]

so they really don't sing "Out On the Weekend?"

that sucks.
