Beggars Bowel is amazing, I loved it right off. It's especially amazing when you're standing directly in front of Ash Bowie, like 6ft. away.
They opened with a sickening performance of Enemy Insects when I saw them. I've seen so many bands over the years, all the great Indie bands of the 90's in a little laundromat , the Samhain reunion tour, Blur at a little dive.
Polvo is the best show I ever saw.

20? Please share.

Nice list... Out of the 92-96 shows, are there any TAL, Exploded Drawing, etc songs that didn't stick around? Generally their tours always stuck to a fairly common setlist. I'm wondering if there is any rarity to those years since that's the era of live shows I've heard least of.

~Jeremy~

You can compare setlists at http://db.etree.org/db/shows/browse/artist_key/696/.

When I talked to Steve Popson at the Berlin show this August, he said the new album was either out this October or sometime next spring (!). Since it's already October now, I guess spring is it it is is it.

If you could share 6/15/96 and 7/19/96 I'll be your best friend and bake you cookies.

Do you have any shows where they did Sure Shot, Time Isn't On My Side, The Curtain Remembers, or Gemini Cusp? Never heard those ones live...

Thanks bro.

~Jeremy~

That implies it's probably finished but Merge is waiting for a better time to release it, I suspect...

~Jeremy~

- Will do, just nag by PM from time to time (I'm fairly busy).

- Those don't ring a bell so I'm guessing no.

Thanks man, take your time. Well worth the wait I'd imagine.

Thanks a million! Downloading now.

On a different note, I talked to Bob Weston last night about the Polvo records he did, and he said he loved the music but they were strange to work with, so sure of what they wanted yet had no idea how to get it. It was interesting to hear.

~Jeremy~

Is there supposed to be only two tracks on the 7/19 show?

Thanks again.

~Jeremy~

Well, if you have no recording and/or production experience I guess it would be difficult to convey how exactly you wanted things done.

Well, no! :D But I've never come across a longer recording of this date. See also:

Hah. Makes sense. When I looked at that, I assumed you had the full show and not the two songs listed. I'm listening to the 6/15 show and it's incredible, thank you.

Any chance when you have time I can get 7/11/96, 5/07/93 (For Gemini Cusp!) and maybe 6/21/93? Sorry for all the requests, it's just so cool to hear all these live ones I've never heard before.

Have you ever thought of uploading some of the best ones to Dimeadozen?

Thanks again.

~Jeremy~

Ha! You're a member? I have uploaded all these in the past, but I'd be happy to do so again.

That would be great! There is a severe shortage of Polvo shows on there, let alone that one 1998 show (Which, let's be honest, was not the best live period for them). I'm sure many would enjoy being able to hear some of these shows.

~Jeremy~

OK. I'm fairly busy these days, so I might not get around to it immediately - just nag by email (rappardAATgmailDOOTcomm) from time to time.
