Responses on the voting
keep increasing. This month, 22 of you
voted in the poll, the highest yet. I'd prefer a higher percentage,
considering that 300 of you are
downloading the shows, but for now I'll just assume that the silent
majority agrees with the decisions of the minority, because I've yet
to hear a complaint. Still, I really appreciate feedback from you,
and I'll keep pushing for more. If you haven't

the downloads thread and
post some

vote for the
download you would like to see released in December. Please try
to vote by the 29th. After you've voted, you can

you help make it!
This month, the
voting was overwhelming. 72 percent of you voted for the Belgium
show from 2004. As CJ Bob said
on the boards, "I'm on
board with the Belgium show, the band doesn't spend as much time in
Europe and so there is something extra special about those shows.
I'm with the Pale One."
Ed Sawyer also
noted on the boards that the European audiences tend to be quieter
and more respectful, leading to better recordings. He's certainly
correct there; some of my favorite tapes come from the Europe shows.
This is the first
show from Europe in the SOTM series, and the first from the 2004
tour. The 2004 tour featured the band playing two sets each night.
For the first set, the so-called Folk Fusion Quartet of Mike, Margo,
Jeff Bird and Jaro
Czerwinec,
who returned to the band after a long absence for this tour, played
a 30 minute acoustic set. After a short intermission, Pete and Alan
would join in for a usually raucous second set. It made for a lovely
contrast, particularly in quiet venues like this one.
This tour also
showcased one of Mike's best ever compositions, "Notes Falling
Slow." The band played it quite often on this tour, and sometimes,
as in this performance, did it acoustically, which added an extra
emotional component to this song of bereft relationships.
As a final note
about this show, I'll leave you with Mike's impressions: "The
gig tonight took place in a very cool performance space. It was
inside of an old bank building which has been intelligently
refurbished and renovated so that it retains its old world charm,
but enables it to also be a thoroughly modern art space. It was
another excellent audience: so intense and so focused. We had
another very good gig. It was an absolute joy to play for these
people."
