thanks! added

i feel like it'd be a cool/convenient idea if we could differentiate the good quality boots from the not so good ones (the professional quality vs the fan recorded ones) like maybe we could highlight the good quality ones in a different color or just put (HQ) next to them or something. only suggesting this cause sometimes i want to go back and listen to some older live stuff but am never sure which one is the best sounding and i just end up downloading a bunch of them til i find one that sounds the best..... idk

I ripped, split, and tagged the new Pitchfork upload (02/01/18) at 320 MP3 and it sounds really nice. I guess Pitchfork took some time mix the performance. You can grab it here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=19-zWr ... Q3ChjQoRVl

not a super compelling recording, but i wasn't familiar with it—looks like it was only uploaded to archive.org a few weeks ago

[jfw7]

also, uh, how did i know this about this show? is this the last CHz bootleg and the last before their touring hiatus? https://archive.org/details/ac2013-12-04.m10

e: sounds pretty lousy i guess

Any idea if this will ever surface?

I used to program for WKCR and I'm still a student at Columbia so I could probably try and search for this recording if it's still there but I kind of doubt it is

[flare]

also Geo is right, the new music department is seemingly exactly the same as when he was a student here

But what about the bolded part here?

Fingers crossed in any case, holy shit

[flare]

The show Geo is referring to is called Live Constructions, and we record the days where we actually have musicians in. I think what he means with the bolded part is that whoever heard that performance heard it because the recording of it was aired years after the fact

I programmed that show for a semester, and most days we didn't have any guests so I either played some shows we had archived or I just played like an hour of experimental music that wasn't live. Although I think now there are guests pretty frequently so that doesn't happen

That said, I have no idea how far back the archives go so it's likely it's not there, but who knows. Do we know anything more about the context for this performance? I know very little about Come Winter other than the fact that it was an AC side project

[jfw7]

just did a deep dive in columbia web archives and couldn't quite find anything, although i found that rutgers' assistant dean of graduate medical education was a transfigured night DJ in the mid-90s. seems like something on foot is gonna be more useful

[flare]

Yeah, if it is around, it's probably buried somewhere in the station. There's still a lot of old recordings there, I'm just not sure if that one survived

I did Transfigured Night for a few semesters and Geo's description of it is still completely accurate. Really fun show, but going on air from 2am-6am gets exhausting (even with Alvin Lucier to keep you company)

[jfw7]

it would be so fun to dig through those archives if anyone has access. maybe someday!

[cramberry]

^looking forward to watching this

[jfw7]

yeah it's fantastic. so exciting to know there's still high quality stuff being uncovered out there. my first assumption was this was from a tv broadcast in classic euro style but this looks like venue video to me? was this ever on anyone's radar? i can't even find any references to it on various gigography sites but saw some mentions on french blogs

[jfw7]

speaking of stuff i haven't seen before.... video quality is pretty bad, but i'd never seen these video from salt lake city: https://vimeo.com/200484 https://vimeo.com/207350

i believe that'd be the 2007-05-22 show at "In The Venue" ?

e: damn, that'd make it only the second complete merriweather boot? had we really missed this?

[jfw7]

also didn't have this utrecht 2011 video listed: https://vimeo.com/220107819

looked at the youtube channel, it's a new channel that, from what i can infer, is someone in paris who films concerts for fun. the other vids on the channel are other concerts in paris from the 2000s. guess someone decided to upload their back catalog of live vids.

Nice find jf

Is there a recording of everyone getting sung happy birthday? I know there’s one for Geo and Panda but not so sure for Deakin andAvey.

weird, good catch. my local copy is tagged correctly and has all 6 tracks so i'm not sure what happened. i probably just uploaded the old bansheebeat.org copy without checking?

So I finally got around to looking for this today with my friend. We weren't able to find it, but we did find some other DAT recordings (from other artists) from around the same time period (00-02). The archives aren't really well organized anymore, especially for the experimental stuff. It's possible that it is somewhere in the station, but if so it's not gonna be easy to find. I'll probably search for it again at some point later this semester

[Fovrodi]

Damn, thanks a lot for looking!

[Chubby_Dork]

I’ve slowly been archiving all their live shows to my laptop

[Stanshant]

Just a brief message to say thanks to jfw7 and everyone who ever contributed a recording or piece of info to this absolutely glorious thread and archive. It's been more important and life-changing to me than any collected works of art I've ever been lucky enough to experience. Thank you doesn't even come close. X

NO FUCKING KIDDING
YOU CANNOT BE THANKED ENOUGH

[Chubby_Dork]

Seriously!! To have this much footage is amazing

[murrow]

Anyone recommend any good quality Merriweather era sets? Aside from Lux Fragil and Henry Miller...

[Fovrodi]

People swear by the Melkweg boot but I’m an idiot and never checked it out.

Melt festival from 2009 is really good
