This version of 'God Bless our Dead Marines' has been the song I turn to when riding the bus home after a bad day at work. It inspires me every damn time. I want to BE this band!

All those reviews saying that this sounds just like a soundboard recording are telling the truth!

And this performance of "God bless our dead marines" surpasses the one on the album in my opinion.

C'est sur ce genre de performance que se crée la légende (haha!)

Those shows build a SMZ legazy (lol)

Subject: Great recording!

This really is a great reording; as has been already said, it sounds as though it could be from the sound board.
The band themselves seem to be on top form with each song sounding great. If you only have limited d/l available, my favourite of the tracks here are 'American Motor Over Smoldered Field', 'Mountains Made of Stream', and 'Movie (Never Made)'. But definately get the whole show you fools!

Subject: GREAT RECORDINGS!!

Thank you so much for recording these 2 shows and making them available. You have captured Mt Zion's live sound beautifully, I close my eyes and feel like I'm standing in front of Efrim! For people like myself living in Australia, you have given the chnace to enjoy the band's live sound so I am most grateful to you.

Subject: The Best I've Heard Here

A very good sounding recording, a good selection of songs, and lots of funny banter from what's usually a quiet band. Worth the download for anyone into ASMZ, GS!YBE or Post-Rock-Folk-Beautifully Honest Music.

Subject: Great Recording & Performance

This recording is amazingly good considering it's from a mic. It's so good that if I didn't know any better, and someone told me it was soundboard--well, I'd believe them. The performance is tight and emotional as well. Highly recommend this show.

Notes

There were some pretty funny moments in-between some of the songs so I decided to make them individual tracks for easy-access. Compared to the recording of the previous night, this one sounds somehow warmer and better. Also, Efrim refers to song 6 as "On Silver Mt. Zion", even though it and "Movie (never made)" are the
same. The band seems to have a thing with changing names around don't they. ;)
