Notes:
Finally getting a chance to dig back into my BARN series after a marathon bunch of New Years' Eve 2010/2011 recordings, the moe. Tropical Throe.down recordings that Eric handed to me to process and post, and a couple of killer shows to start out 2011 with (Punch Brothers, Lettuce with Maceo Parker and Dr. John) -- now I have a little bit of time to get some pending BARN shows that have been brewing for a while out the door.

For BARN71, I've decided to dig back for my first exposure to Soulive (after having recently attended their incredible Royal Family Ball show here at Terminal 5 in NYC), a band that I luckily was able to get on the bandwagon early for. I was well familiar with the Evans brothers from their tenure in one particularly strong incarnation of Moon Boot Lover (in 1995/1996) that I got to see quite a lot, which started out as a quartet with the amazing John Hawes on bass. Then the MBL quartet turned into a trio with just the Evans brothers and Peter Prince. But then the Evanses left, saying that I think, Neal wanted to go back to and/or finish School. Alan toured with Karl Denson's Tiny Universe and a few other bands for a bit, but I didn't hear much about them for a couple of years.

Then I started to hear some buzz from Pete Costello about their new band Soulive, and it didn't take much to get me out to check 'em out. This recording represents what I heard the very first time I ever saw or heard any Soulive whatsoever! Setting the scene, Baby Jupiter was (is? -- I'm not sure if it's still around) a small basement club underneath a restaurant on the lower east side. I would guess it held maybe 100 people and if I recall correctly, this was a really late starting show (maybe midnight), and it was extremely HOT in the room (it was June, so summer was basically in full swing by this point) -- and you can hear them make reference to this fact in some stage banter a few times, and everyone in the room was eventually drenched in sweat from dancing to the funky music.

So this is raw, pure Soulive -- no extra guests, no vocalists -- just the trio as it was origninally conceived, playing the jazz/groove tunes that they originally wrote (this was before they started doing some hip-hop-style stuff and branching out in other directions), plus a few choice covers. This is back in the days when they would show up in a tiny venue, load in the HUGE, heavy Hammond organ (plus drums, etc.) all on their own (which had to have been a difficult task in these small places), change into their black suits, white shirts, and bow-ties, and proceed to burn the place down with their music. You'll hear some fun interaction between the band and the audience on this recording.

And here we are 12 years later and I'm still going to see and enjoying these guys, and they have enjoyed a ton of success since then. Nice job, Soulive.

Enjoy!

Scott

Subject: Yep, 1999 was a great year for Soulive

...and I have a whole BUNCH more from that time period. I think I counted about 8 shows I saw and have on DAT from 1999. If only I had more hours in the day I'd get them all up. Eventually!

Subject: Old School Suit Soulive

Scott - much like you, I was exposed to Neal and Alan through Moon Boot Lover. I saw them every chance I could get. They were phenomenal. When the Evans Brothers left, I was heartbroken. When their names popped up on a poster for the first anniversary of Higher Ground in VT (4/15/99) as Soulive, I knew I had to be there. I was, I taped and the rest is history. Been a huge fan 11+ years. But I will always be the biggest fan of the Suit-era, old School Soulive. This recording sounds fantastic... as one fan exclaims right after "It's Your Thing", "OH MY GOD!" THANK YOU.
