This should have been out a month ago but I wasn't ready to sit down with the recording. Tim played a big part in the keeping of my sanity this past year so when I say it was a honor to record this set I mean it. At the risk of breaking out my trusty bag of hyperbole it was an exorcism of sorts. Old Canes and Where Astronauts Go To Hide supported. If you missed any of the 3 sets you missed out.

I also recorded The Good Life at The Triple Rock in 2005 but at the time I was recording onto HiMD and Sony was brilliant enough to have this proprietary software SonicStage which in it's infancy was infamous for trapping recordings onto discs. For whatever reason you were only allowed to transfer a recording one time and if something went wrong for no reason than bam...no more Triple Rock '05 recording. Let's not live in the past, eh? Please enjoy a rare recording from The Good Life's December '09 four city midwest tour. The Good Life have releases available through Saddle Creek Records.
