Goat: April 23, 2013 Music Hall of Williamsburg – FLAC/MP3/Streaming

The impenetrable Swedish collective Goat became a lot better known in the gap between when PopGun Booking announced their U.S. debut at Glasslands and when the show finally happened — by then at a sold-out Music Hall of Williamsburg. Their first proper release World Music is exactly that — European psych-rock mated to the sounds of the Western Sahara. Shocking Blue meets Group Doueh. Made up of a rotating cast of villagers from the Swedish town of Korpilombolo who have been playing together for several decades (or so the story goes), the current players in Goat would seem to manage the rare feat of being a holy trifecta of mysterious, entertaining and authentic. Even if the Swedish psych rock tag is the easiest, Goat is hardly mystical stoner music, with a heavy, danceable backbeat. Their stage presence is geared to that, as well as maintaining their mystique. All of the players appear in masks and tribal costumes, and two dancer/singers perform up front. The result is a swirling, colorful fantasia of sound and positive rock and roll unlike anything else I’ve seen. Even if the band’s shadowy origins turn out to be less fanciful than they originally appear, this will still be a band to have on your list for the festival circuit this summer and beyond.

I recorded this set with MBHO KA200N cardiod microphones and a custom made analog preamp for a warm, natural sound. The result is excellent. Enjoy!

Thanks to Danato and the rest of the Music Hall team for their hospitality and assistance, and to Goat’s team for permitting the recording.

The Mountain Goats: October 16, 2012 Bowery Ballroom – Flac/MP3/Streaming

October 20, 2012

Last night, I was told by someone in the know that John Darnielle thought that Saturday night’s show in Brooklyn was perhaps the best of the tour. Our review concurred, as we found it one of the best Mountain Goats shows I’ve ever seen. So the question would be whether tMG matched that intensity for the other night we saw them on this tour, Tuesday at Bowery Ballroom. Bowery is undoubtedly one of our favorite venues — it feels like “home”. Its hard not to have a good time there. With that backdrop, its not for me to objectively say whether Tuesday night was “better” or “as good as” the epic Saturday performance. Suffice to say, it was a Mountain Goats show with a superb setlist, some neat banter, and horns (!). It would not be possible to go wrong with that combination and rather than try to analyze it, I’ll just that say I had a great time, the new album is outstanding, we’ll see tMG whenever we can, and the recording is killer. That should be enough.

This recording is a testament to the talents of the band’s tour FOH Brandon and the consistent excellence of Bowery and their staff. It was captured with the Sennheiser cards mixed with an excellent feed. The room mics are about 70% of the mix. Its sounds superb and we hope you enjoy!

Transcendental Youth is the fourteenth proper Mountain Goats album. Its another strong record that continues the themes that the Mountain Goats often explore, misfits and tragi-comedic characters. The new album also spurred a tour, and although John Darnielle played a show as part of the Ecstatic Music Fest in March, this was the band’s first proper visit to NYC in more than a year and half, and it resulted in four sold out shows. On Saturday night at Music Hall, the Mountain Goats performed eight songs from the new album within a set of both tMG standards and a few rare nuggets. John was particularly effusive and hilarious on this night with the between-song banter, and for this tour tMG were joined for part of the set with show-opener Matthew E. White’s horn section. The result was a long and thoroughly entertaining night of music, one of the best Mountain Goats shows we’ve seen.

I recorded this show from the center balcony rail with the Sennheisers mounted fairly low. The room was mixed to perfection by tMG sound engineer Brandon, and the result is one of our best recordings from the balcony spot in this venue. Enjoy!

(the Mountain Goats performance on Tuesday night at Bowery was also recorded and will be posted soon)

The final night of the Mountain Goats outstanding three-show run at Bowery Ballroom was the shortest set of the week, but certainly did not lack in the intensity or good feeling of the previous two. John referenced the ease of staying several days in one town and perhaps because the band knew it would have to travel that night, the set contained significantly less “banter” than the earlier shows. However, the music was as rich as ever, and Craig Finn returned for an encore guest performance, this time singing on both “Palmcorder Yajna” (streaming below), and “This Year”, where the entire Megafaun band joined on stage for the first time. Other set highlights included rarities “Ontario”, “Love Love Love” and “Prowl Great Cain”. The Mountain Goats tour is continuing through this week, and returns to the Northeast for a Philadelphia show on April 15 — a show I’m considering attending on a lark. The NYC experience was that good.

I recorded this set in the same manner as the previous two nights, and the sound quality is again superb. Enjoy!

Tuesday night’s Bowery show was the second of three consecutive dates at the NYC venue, but it also happened to be the very day that the new the Mountain Goats album All Eternals Deck (Merge) was released. John Darneille spoke about his positive mental health on this particular release day — as well he should. All Eternals Deck is a superb album, and several of those songs featured at this show were already set highlights. We are streaming “Birth of Serpents” below, but we could well have featured the show opener “Liza Forever Minnelli”, “Damn These Vampires”, or a song which earned an encore slot on this night “Estate Sale Sign”. Despite the focus on the strong new material, John did not however forsake the vintage material and performed some outstanding older and more obscure songs, including “Home Again Garden Grove”, “Sinaloan Milk Snake Song”, and “Jeff Davis County Blues”, and even an unreleased song “Shower”. This night did not feature any special guests, but at nearly two hours, it was the longest show of the run.

I recorded this set in the same manner as the previous night and the sound quality is again superb. This are two bursts of static during “Seeing Daylight” that were caused when my recording machine was jostled during the cleanup of a full beer spilled on my stuff. Otherwise enjoy this excellent recording!

The Mountain Goats returned to NYC for the first time since late 2009 for a sold-out run of three shows at Bowery Ballroom. The band is on tour in support of the new album All Eternals Deck (Merge), which was released on Tuesday. Although the Monday show was a celebratory affair and the longest of the three shows, it was also the first night to sell out, so that the crowd contained a large majority of diehards who felt the need to scream out requests for the most obscure songs. But John was in very good spirits and was not rattled by the persistent requests in his banter with the crowd. The setlist was nice mix of older and new material as only five of the thirteen All Eternals Deck songs were played on this night. John played a special request for a friend (“Going to Port Washington”) and acceded to one of the crowd’s obscure calls (“Baboon”), but mostly kept to the written list. The surprise of the evening was the appearance of The Hold Steady lead singer Craig Finn, who shared vocal duties on “This Year” (streaming below).

I recorded this set with the Neumanns at the balcony rail pointed at the stacks and mixed with an excellent soundboard feed. The sound quality is superb. Enjoy!

All three shows were recorded and will be posted over the next few days.

As expected, John Darnielle pulled out all the stops for the final night of the Mountain Goats tour. At Bell House on Wednesday, obscure songs were plentiful, encores were many, and John even whipped out a first third-time-played cover song (Thin Lizzy’s “The Boys Are Back In Town”). As the set opened with “Handball” from 1999’s Protein Source, the setlist went as far back as John’s second 7″ (“Alphabetizing”). The packed house was treated to a bunch of rare treats that also included four songs from personal favorite 2004’s We Shall All Be Healed. As opposed the the previous night’s show at Webster Hall, this setlist relied less on the material from the new album The Life Of The World To Come. John accepted the crowd’s adulation and returned three times for encores, assisted by both members of Final Fantasy, and concluded with “The Sign”, much of which was performed in the front row off-microphone.

We recorded this set from our standard location in this venue, in the elevated area next to the soundboard booth. We captured a four-track soundboard/audience mix of exceptional quality. Enjoy!

Mountain Goats: December 1, 2009 Webster Hall – Flac and MP3 Downloads

[photos taken for nyctaper by Kate Ehle – many more here]

Last November, the Mountain Goats at Webster Hall was a tour-ending night and one of the best shows we saw all year. On Tuesday at a packed Webster, the Mountain Goats returned with a new album, a new band member (guitarist Perry Wright), but the same intensity. On tour in support of The Life Of The World To Come, the band performed nine of the twelve tracks from that album. But as with all Mountain Goats shows, there were rare tracks performed — this night’s treats included “Going to Bristol”, “Hast Thou Considered the Tetrapod?” and “Going to Port Washington”.

Our recording of this set would not have been possible without the work of Mountain Goats’ sound engineer Brandon. We set up inside the soundboard area with the R-44 and captured an excellent balanced feed from the board and also a recording with the Neumann microphones. The distance from the stage (200 feet) created a delay (4 milliseconds) between the two recordings which was remedied in post-production. The result is a recording of tremendous pro-quality sound. Enjoy!

Mountain Goats to Play Zoop Festival 2009 at Farm Sanctuary – Official Announcement Coming Soon

April 8, 2009
By


[photo by no3rdw]

In June of 2007, The Mountain Goats organized and appeared at Zoop — a two-day Benefit/Festival at the Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen, NY. The Farm Sanctuary is a national non-profit group that rescues farm animals and engages in animal rights advocacy and education. The weekend has become legendary among Mountain Goats fans as perhaps the most enjoyable and original shows ever performed, and the benefit was a resounding success in its efforts to assist the Farm Sanctuary.

Amidst the recent tour, John Darnielle posted in the Mountain Goats forum that there would be a special announcement regarding a Zoop “sequel” when the tour was completed (April 6). We have learned that there will be a Zoop 2, and we have unofficial dates — but we won’t spoil the surprise. Watch the band’s main page for the announcement “soon”.
