Taper notes:
Managing to keep the momentum up on my New Orleans appreciation series, I present BARN52, a nice LONG show from the recently-resurrected George Porter's Runnin' Pardners at a seemingly defunct NYC venue on West 4th Street right in the center of The Village, appropriately named "The Village Underground".  I never saw a lot of shows there (though I also recall seeing a G. Love & Special Sauce show there), but just due to the fact that this was the last time I got to see GP & TRP for over 9 years (until they came back to NYC this year, in 2010), that's significant enough for me to remember the place.  I believe that it was being promoted by the same people that used to promote the club Tramps here in NYC.

There were 2 shows which required separate tickets -- and early and a late show.  It was only slightly crowded in the first set.  The A/C was working (it was a hot late sping day, in a basement "Underground" club, summertime A/C is essential as there is no other way to get fresh air in the place), and everyone was happy.  But the late set was INCREDIBLY packed -- I'd say, dangerously oversold.  Bathroom lines out of control.  And the A/C stopped working.  Not pleasent.  And taping in the middle of the floor in a packed venue is hard work.

But luckily 9+ years later you can now experience the incredible music made that night in more pleasent environs.  George is absolutely THE MAN.

Enjoy!

Scott
