a friend that i haven't heard from in years just sent me a link to this show. i've never heard of this website before, but i was definately at the show. i was the sound technician at the hamilton college acoustic coffeehouse series where marty played. i mixed this independent of the house mix and recorded it directly to DAT off of the main soundboard. if i recall correctly, i think i wished i'd mixed more reverb into the recording as it came out a bit dry in spots. still, it was a great show that i listened to often until i lost the orignial during a move. not sure how it's surfaced again, but it sure is cool to hear it again. thanks knuds (and marty)!

Wonderful show, sound quality is superb, and a very fun interactive show. I was there back in 1997 and remember raving about the show afterwards, I'm thrilled to be able to hear it again!! Thanks to whoever posted it!

Get this if for nothing but the Gypsy Woman. A slower kinda of spooky groove. I really dig it.
Spread the word.

I caught several shows in ÃÂ97 at the small coffeehouse and churches he was playing at the time and feel this show captured Martin at a peak. He truly had a way of captivating the audiences even at times when struggling to find the lyrics. The quality of the recording is excellent, "Animal song" and "The Way I am", feature some great yodeling and you get a great sence of is vocal range in "Candy" and "Gypsy Women" well worth downloading
