A hot show and a flawless soundboard as well.  I had fun taping this one with popskull running mics, so maybe a matrix is in order one day.  Anyway, this is a solid show, with the added bonus of "Changes".

Enjoy!

Comment: * with Hey Pocky Way Tease by Russ at beginning. During the intro part of Cissy, Stoltz was ripping it up (narsty style), so George was fanning him and his guitar. Then, during Art's Cissy solo, Art programmed the keys on cruise control and came out from behind the Poppa Funk blanket, and danced a funky, irish jig in the center spotlight, as well as pumping his hands in the air as if he was raising the roof, and then proceeded to use his hands to fan off Brian (Narsty) Stoltz's guitar because it was on fire. Cissy finishes with Art asking, "Is there a doctah in the house? Is there a doctah in the house?", # with a Sesame Street tease that had some juicy steak on it. % finishes with Porter Jr. saying, "We blew this shit up."

***This is part of the 2010 Summer Meters flood.  I hope to share one Meters show per day over the next month.  If you have Meters to share, please jump in!  The purpose of this flood is to build awareness of a killer band and to shake loose some tapes still sitting in the dark.
