You have a rip of Live In London! Lucky... This has been my number one TMR ISO forever... I missed that one from Canada from the other day that went for $170 on ebay, sealed, with the Top Yourself Demo 7". One day...

I have Grim to thank for the copy of the record that I was able to make a rip from. My very first Swirl deal.

Very nice Kali! Grim is a great guy. Live In London will be mine someday.

^^ Much luck in your quest.


I think one of the things I love most about this record is that LJ's bass is so very strong in the mix. Makes the whole thing sound so full.

I have owned three copies of this so far. The first one had some dings in it, so I sold it off, quite literally, to buy a replacement the very same day because it was mint. Unfortunately, our beloved post office must have slowed down to toss it out, because it arrived in even worse shape than my first one. I managed to sell THAT one to buy the whole sealed package (thanks Captain Swirl...you know who you are), but now...I can't bring myself to break the seal on that pristine beauty, so I'm gonna have to find an open one to spin. Yeah...this package will always be one of the best.

I'm so excited. Been wanting this album for years, and found it at The Groove in East Nashville for...well, a fraction of what it normally goes for. Cannot WAIT to get home and finally hear it!

Here is the idiot side of me . . .

Having seen the Racs 6 times in my life . . . I've never been overly impressed with this. It's pretty good, but not godhead. The Racs show at the Ryman in 2011 thrilled me thrice times thrice more than this does . . .

Flame on, sisters and brothers . . .

The vinyl or the radio audio rip?

The crowd at the front went nuts during this
show and I had the bruises to prove it - doesn't
quite come across on the audio though

I agree, I listen to the other live releases much more. I was also there, and the other shows I saw on the Consolers tour were all much better than this one too, festival appearances excluded.

I don't think you can compare being at a show to a record. There are not many better recordings out there.

I would agree that there are much better shows to listen to. The crowd may have been going crazy at this show, but there are others at which the band seemed to be going a bit more crazy and that definitely comes through in the recording. But I had to have this one for the sleeve. It and Broken Boy Soldier are my two favorite TMR releases in that regard.
