Punk rock in the Oval. It would have been an absurd concept a few years ago when residents were not even allowed on the grass. Last night, residents and non-residents alike actually slam-danced on the green. As Music on the Oval evolves and the artists continue to grow in stature, anything has become possible. Last night, Jay Reatard buzz-sawed through 14 songs in 33 minutes, as the packed oval witnessed an artist in control of his sometimes manic music. Despite the cynicism and negativity spewed about this odd pairing of the punk rocker and the residents, Jay proved a creative figure completely unwilling to pander. This was not “family” music, but it was completely authentic and compelling nonetheless.

We received kind assistance from the production crew, and with Jay’s blessing recorded this set from the best possible location at the front of the fenced-in soundboard area. The system was quite solid and as a result, this is really an extraordinary capture. Enjoy!
