Subject: Halloween at the Bottom Line

I was lucky enough to have tickets for both shows at the Bottom Line this night, and even luckier to be right up front and have a pick in my pocket for Robyn when he needed one. This was my first time seeing the man and is one of those magic evenings that will live in my memory forever. Easily one of the top five shows I've ever seen. Fantastic Halloween set list interspersed with choice cuts from Luxor which had just come out. Incredible version of Chinese Bones, some Beefheart recitation, and a stellar rendition of Full Moon in My Soul (which had yet to be released). Thanks so much to Woj for recording both sets and making them available for posterity to the world. Grab it if you haven't got it. Hopefully someday Robyn will release the soundboard of both shows to complement the handful of tracks that ended up on Obliteration Pie. Five Stars.

Subject: A great Halloween soundtrack!

This early show on 10/31/03 is as great as the late &, surprisingly, unreviewed. A wonderful Halloween-themed performance--ghosts, bones, and devils abound + great covers (Lennon's "She Said She Said")--with banter, voice & musicianship at Robyn's usual high standard. Download both sets--especially this if you're listening in October.
