Shellac - Live At Bimbo's - San Francisco 1998



Label: Bootleg
Year: 1998

Shellac bootlegs usually sound pretty good, and this one is no exception, maybe a B-, better than average but a little muddy in spots. The material is pretty heavy with "Terraform" and "At Action Park" songs, but one jam off the then unreleased "1000 Hurts" album shows up, and a few 7 songs round it out. All in all, good stuff, which is what you would expect right? Right.
Did everyone have a good Xmas? Did you get the newest video gaming console/hi-tech gadget/overpriced rock-n-roll photo book/gift certificate to Amazon.com? Good, I'm sure you were sweet boys and girls all year long, and you deserved it. I drank dark and stormy's for a few hours on Xmas eve to get good and loose whilst hosting a get together of friends and family, which was a lot of fun. Missed seeing you there by the way.

  1. Do you have a copy of this bootleg to sell me, or could you burn one (a CD, that is) to sell me?? I used to have this, and fondly remember its wondrous power and the humor and melancholy beauty of Steve's extemporizing.
