Last week, The Feelies played their now regular July 4th shows at Maxwell’s and we missed them for the second year in a row due to a vacation. There are some decent photos of last week’s gigs here, and a review here. Although we caught one of the shows in 2008 (here), I guess we kind of feel like we let down the Feelies fans who come to nyctaper for recordings of their shows (we’ve done six). So, I’ve decided to dig into the vault for a little treat from last year. In September of 2009, The Feelies played a mini three-show “tour”, which included ATP, a show at the Bearsville Theatre, and a show at Southpaw (on nyctaper here). The ATP recording popped up on Dimeadozen, and we covered the Southpaw night, but until now no recording of the Woodstock show had appeared. A short while ago, the prolific East coast taper mikeL sent us this recording so that we could offer it to our readers.
Mike recorded the set with a pair of Audio Technica 825s set up fifteen feet from the stage and the result is a recording of great clarity and presence. Enjoy!

Time to live
Time to lie
Time to laugh
Time to die
Takes it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don’t move too fast
And you want your love to last
Oh, you’ve been movin’ much too fast
Time to walk
Time to run
Time to aim your arrows
At the sun
Takes it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don’t move too fast
And you want your love to last
Oh, you’ve been movin’ much too fast
Go real slow
You like it more and more
Take it as it comes
Specialize in havin’ fun
Takes it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don’t move too fast
And you want your love to last
Oh, you’ve been movin’ much too fast
Movin’ much too fast
Movin’ much too fast
Peace,
Adam
