It took Barfko-Swill/Music Today no more than 8 days to deliver...all the way from the US to Europe.
Our plan was to have the Carnegie Hall album as Album of the Month in January, but now we have already uploaded a couple of tracks on our playlists, and we plan to play it full blown already by Christmas all through January. Hotcha!

The shorter, more arranged songs such as Peaches or the 200 Motels pieces like Shove It Right In sound great with Howard and Mark really doing some great singing and Aynsley a great rock drummer in the 60's rock mold (i.e. pre-fusion non-jazz drummer) has a nice feel and keeps the music moving forward.
King Kong suffers as this band was not a strong improvising group, musically. Don Preston's solo here is being a good example of this.
I'm just about to enjoy disc #2. So far I'm most confused about the recording technique. This is not a line recording/soundboard recording, but a mono recording made with one microphone placed somewhere in the venue to achieve reasonable balance between sound sources and also room ambience vs. the band...thus the feel of distance to the band.

Siggy, you gotta take what you can, get room ambience and all...
Still tasty...warts and all..
