Notes: Great show, really happy with this AUD. Strange there was no encore...they had been coming back out for 2 more at other shows. Oh well, they probably needed to be out of there by 10pm for the club's booty dance night, happy they finally made it here. Please support Jonah's music. Jeremy & Dave are still in ATTENTION. I'm sure Norman and Bob are still active.

============

This was a really special show, likely to go down in the top 10 shows I've ever seen. I've had numerous requests to reseed some Gratitude or other Jonah related material so I'll start to come through on that. This one's for Stefan in Berlin. It's been a long time since I've seeded any of the masters I taped with my older rig but I was always happy with the sound on this and the original seed received many compliments on the quality of the recording. I just re-listened to this today and it's great imho.

Left for San Diego on the 20th and flew back in last night. I missed Big Trouble at the Dakota but hope to catch up with them soon.

January is almost over.

Still want to post some sets from the Kill the Vultures/Splinter Cells/Doric show at the Turf.

Still want to post some sets from the City on the Make/Abzorbr/Adrenaline/Sector 7G show at the Entry.

Missed The Pines/Bon Iver/Roma di Luna at the Turf.

Missed "the best new bands of 2007" at First Avenue.

I'll be out of town next week but would like to make it to the Dakota for Big Trouble. Not sure what time I'm getting back on Friday...

We have decided that all unreleased material except for "The Romance Of Wolves" will be omitted from this torrent. As soon as the new album is released whether that's six months from now or a year from now this set will be torrented in it's entirety. I hope this does not prevent people from checking this recording out. It's such a great set and recordings from the Cedar always sound excellent. I have checked and rechecked to verify that this recording plays through seamlessly without a hint of any missing tracks.
