Welcome To My Taping Blog!!

Welcome to my taping blog. I will be updating it with the live shows that I see and the tapes that I make of them. You can find my released tapes here: (http://bt.etree.org/?searchsss=deadgreg&cat=0&incldead=1) and (http://archive.org/bookmarks/DeadGreg).

Mike Gordon Band

All of the shows were great, and I got some good recordings from some. The second set of the Mike Gordon Band sounds great, and I got a patch for the first set. Chris let me tape from the soundboard during the Carolina Chocolate Drops, and that tape turned out great. I am still working on the April 19 tapes.

The Carolina Chocolate Drops were brilliant and wonderful musicians. Their knowledge of music history was unbelievable, and they played several different historical styles and made them their own. I left the show feeling smarter, hungry for some old vinyl, and very happy.

B Side Shuffle is the best D.C. band right now. They sound great and put on a very exciting show. You should absolutely catch them whenever you can. Check out some video on their website (bsideshuffle.com).

Here is a list of the shows that I will be seeing soon:
May 24, B Side Shuffle, Hometown Holidays 2014, Hungerford's Tavern Stage
May 25, Hillbilly Gypsies, Hometown Holidays 2014, Hungerford's Tavern Stage
May 29, Rusted Root with the Wailers, 9:30 Club
June 2, Clap Your Hand & Say Yeah, U Street Music Hall
July 3, B Side Shuffle, Cabinet, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, 9:30 Club
