I haven't had much live music on my radar so far in 2022. I have no plans so far to see any concerts even as shows are slowing being announced. I did take notice that down in Austin, TX , SXSW is back, a festival I once dreamed of attending and who knows, maybe I still have a chance in the future. For now, I can watch clips on YouTube and hopefully more live shows will eventually be available on Dime. One band that caught my attention was the Lemonheads who were to perform their 1992 album, It's A Shame About Ray, in it's entirety. The album celebrates it's 30th anniversary this year and earlier this month, the 30th anniversary edition reissue became available. The new edition features demos from 9 of the 12 songs on the record, as well as b-sides, acoustic versions, covers and a track from a 1992 KCRW performance. It's A Shame About Ray remains the quintessential Lemonheads record and when I first heard it when it came out it blew me away. Every track on the album is great and the only complaint I had at the time was that it was too short (just over 29 minutes).
Even though the Lemonheads (or Evan solo) play a lot of songs from It's A Shame during live shows, hearing the songs in their playing order from the record is something special. I've been to few "album shows" now and there is some added magic to those performances, just a little something different I suppose. The Lemonheads appearance at SXSW was a highly anticipated show headlining the SPIN showcase night at the festival and introduced themselves to many fans that weren't even born when the original album was released. I found this audio recording of the set on Dime and the taper/uploader gives their commentary and experience at SXSW in the text file (including in the file). I always appreciate when the taper (the person that records the show) gives their account of the show, it gives the recording more context and added depth, at least to me. The sound quality is really good and it sounded like an amazing show. God, I miss attending concerts! Enjoy!
Please respect the original posters wishes about the recording. "Do whatever you want with this recording except sell it, or else the karma police will get you"...well said!
