Taper Notes:
View NotesThis was my first Robyn show. I'd seen the Egyptians open for R.E.M. on the Green tour, but I'd never really heard of "them," so I didn't pay much attention. Hindsight... So this show was my introduction proper to Mr. Hitchcock. In the intervening 18 years I have been blessed to remain in Portland, OR, where he seems to enjoy playing and does so regularly. I've able to see him in many modes and with many players, in small venues and large halls. After I saw this show, I listened to this tape many, many times. You may note a minor tape glitch in there. I haven't listened to it in years, as I have been busy seeing his other shows, buying albums and, thank you dime, collecting myriad other live shows. Listening to this again, I can easily say this is one of the best performances I have heard, and certainly the best and most favorite that I have seen. The recording came out great for working with the set up that I had. The crowd was mostly excellent (in that they weren't talking incessantly) and the sound in the room was wonderful. I was blown away by what I was seeing and you will hear some of that at the end of the main set (You & Oblivion) and at the end of the show. One of those great and wonderful shows where you are taping but it was just to good to not clap or hoot...right before you cut the mics. Anyway, long intro, blah blah. This is a great show and you will be delighted to have it if you are even remotely into Robyn. Oh, one last thing: it should be noted that Dean Martin died 2 months later, on Christmas day.
