I'm sorry for reminding you! I didn't realize that is was a bother to you or else I wouldn't have brought it up I'll leave it at that and I'll not bring it up again, my apologies.

Charles, you said you had an original copy of the Tea Party CD that the members themselves handed to you but it got stolen, correct? I've just been looking around for a digital copy of that and it took me a few days to find a good copy of it. Sounds amazing, cool to hear their stuff in such a lo-fi concept. Those CDs are rare and expensive on Ebay and Discogs! Highest CD on there went for $110! http://www.discogs.com/Tea-Party-The-Tea-Party/release/2855948 Now on the hunt for a high res scan of the cover, best one I could find so far is crap.

I was getting in the car the other day while talking to my uncle and I had my iPod plugged into the car so when I turned the car on, A Certain Slant of Light started playing while I was still talking to my uncle. We kinda paused talking for a second and I could tell that he was listening to the song. Right when Martin starts singing "as the colors fade away..." my uncle looks at me and goes "what Doors song is this? this sounds just like Jim Morrison!" I had to explain to him that this wasn't Jim and he was in shock. He absolutely loves them now and jumped on the ticket to go see them live. Absolutely love this song. These guys are one of my favorite bands now. Thank you guys for encouraging me to listen to them!

Good luck with the UK dates! I bet they'll announce that at a later date, probably around halfway through the tour they're in right now. I hope they can swing back up to Cleveland and play a show here, so far we aren't on the ticket...

Wow Charles, that's definitely a unique show! That's cool you got to meet Burrows for a short second. I could imagine how much pain Jeff would be in after blowing a vocal chord, yikes. No doubt they'll come back and play again for you guys! They possibly couldn't just leave and forget about that show... On another note, I was just thinking how sick that would be if The Tea Party would open with the L.o.C and have it mixed in with the Song Remains the Same, like intersperse TSRTS in the L.o.C... Extend the 4 minute opener into a six or seven minute onslaught. I could picture inbetween the verses and choruses Jeff could put in some TSRTS inspired solos and the like. Just a thought that would be sweet to see... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYc0_aNF_kI

Amazing story Charles! I could never believe seeing them that early in a store! You are one lucky man sir

Zooey Deschanel Kate Hudson sumthin' about those girls from Almost Famous, yowza

This song really reminds me of Black Mountain Side and I love love love it

Lucky! Let us here know how it goes!

That's a hard one! I really really love the whole Splendor Solis album, that one has to be my favorite...

I'm hoping to get there today! I'm excited man this is gonna be great...

Will a video work?? Ladies and gents... yours truly ^^ audio quality is crap but I think I had a few too many coffees that day

I did! I haven't gotten to listen to it yet, I'm working my way through their stuff chronologically. And might I add that the whole Transmission album is fuckin heavy

Congregation is awesome, I'm really pumped for the new album!

Oh trust me I will! I'll definitely enjoy myself while working through their material. That makes complete sense, I getcha man. Excited to get started on their stuff!!

I've never listened to these guys before but holy shit they are spectacular. I've seriously been missing out!!!

Thanks man! I'll have to go through and give em a listen...

Just read this whole thing, this band sounds really interesting. Can't listen now, I'll check em out later. Any requests for the first time listener??

(agrees) You look very lovely, Zoe!! Gorgeous...

Those are great pics henrybonzo!

I'll contribute a few of Jimmy lol

I'm curious as to when those new Destroyer boots would be available, I'm always up for hearing a different version of this show EDIT: I wonder if these new Tarantura releases are gonna sound better than Winston's "Dr. Who" release, that's my go-to version of this show

Oh brother, this guy. I read what you wrote about what happened to Freezer on that other thread and that is just downright WRONG. I getcha why this guy would be hard to believe, he is one very slimy fucker...

That's the site! Yes, thank you for mentioning that, Nutrocker. Where did he get that the second source was taped "on platform usually used for television camera for sports broadcasts"? Has he had access to that second source?

No, it was just a written archive with reviews and different documentation for each source and each boot release. I remember it being under the helm of one or two guys that did all of the archiving themselves, no actual audio. Although that website is helpful, it doesn't have any written reviews for the different tape sources and all of the documented boots like that one website I was thinking of.
