This was the second of a month and a half long series of free shows hosted by CEG Presents at an awesome new popup venue in NYC to take place in a blowup cube in South Street Seaport, next to the ice skating rink. The sound in this place was phenomenal, although the heaters were cranked a little too high. This was a headlining set from around 7:30 - 9:15 PM with Brick + Mortar as support who played afterwards. I did not stay for their set.

For t11 and t12, Billy Martin left the stage & Adam Deitch took over on drums, Baby Jesus on electric bass & Neal Evans on Hammond B3.

From "Feel Like..." onward, Billy Martin is back, Deitch gone, but Baby Jesus stayed on. Neal left for a bit & then returned (for the final tune, I believe).

Let's Go Get 'Em & Shmint Town Blues were on the setlist after Satin Sheets but not played.

* final minute gets REAL HEAVY! (dug)
^ presumably the show's Encore

Running Time - 75:17 minutes

The first three improvisations are virtually continuous, but the radio station announcer cuts-in to remind listeners what is being broadcast, so I have split the tracks at his comments. Billy Martin says good-night after the third improvisation, so I presume the final piece is an encore.

Live: 2014-04-07

Source: Lewojazz recording RETE2 (mp2 256/48) > Edit (details below) > TLH (flac 6 + SBE / decode check)

Fine fastone artworks are included, which were used to create flac tags

Contrast Clause:

Jaype post: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=488074 uses the same Lewojazz source files, but converted
with Audacity, rather than Foobar / Audition used here which give slight but audible quality improvement

Quality: Worth an A++ now
=========================

Prompted by the recent jaype post using the same source, I had already converted the Lewojazz mp2 with different tools and
downloaded one of his tracks to confirm that I had a better SQ result. I did further remastering and added flac tags, so now
you can have the best possible quality, along with the flac tags and artworks (and no announcer) that many like to have.

TomP post on Dime, April 2014...Enjoy !!
