Barbara Manning and the Go Luckys- Merlin, Stuttgart Germany 1/3/03 Soundboard 2 hour set

Today’s on this date is one of those ?-CDR things that became prevalent in the era of CDR trading. It sure sounds like a digital source- no noise at all. The mix is decent as well. Snare is a bit low, but otherwise good enough.

I absolutely love when she does the Butterfly cover. “Butterfly (aka So Much Wine)” by Irish folk singer Christy Moore, originally by The Handsome Family (Brett & Rennie Sparks) and she just slays it, and she opens with it here.

Barbara Manning and the Go Luckys- 2ndHand Stuttgart Germany 1/15/00 ltd ed CD rip Bruce Springsteen

I had something different planned for today’s OTD post, but I could not get the snare to surface in izotope like I thought I could, so you get this instead. It’s nice consolation.
Having booked Barbara’s US tour in 2001, the Steinbach twins (the Go Luckys part of the band) would always randomly send me nice things in the mail. This is one of them. I don’t know if they ever sold these as a limited edition CDR or just gave them to friends.. it’s not on discogs, so it hasn’t been sold recently.
This is a full band set in a record store. I don’t ever recall them doing Dancing in the Dark other than this show.
