Taper notes:
The Meters, Tramps in NYC, late show -- this is one of those legendary hot, sweaty, packed nights a few times a year when The Meters would hit us with some funk here in NYC.  The BARN series continues with 2 classic shows from this time period -- starting with this one from 5/15/93.  Note that this lineup was from before Leo was replaced by Brian Stoltz, and the band really gels.  This was a stealth recording (they didn't officially allow taping until they became the Funky Meters) with my old Sony stereo mic.  It sounds pretty good if you ask me.....Now on to the funk!!!

Let me know if you know what the one song I couldn't identify is.

Enjoy!

Scott
