A little bit of Summertime in the dead of winter
This Boxing Day finds Chicago encased in ice, so here’s a little bit of Summertime for you all. This comes from our first appearance at Martyr’s in Chicago, in December of 2004, about a month after we recorded our first CD, Just a Spoonful.
We were still plugging in at this point, with everything except the bass using an instrument pickup rather than a mic. The resulting instrument sounds are a bit odd to my ear, which is one of the primary reasons we stopped plugging in. Nevertheless, this was one of our first times on a big stage, and it was fun. Portions of the set sound reasonably competent, others are agonizingly unlistenable. This track is (I hope) the former.
