Sappyfest #1: Five Hours of Sound Capsules

Kids Jam @ Sappyfest #1

It's been almost two years since I’ve shared a recording I’ve made.  

As evidenced from previous posts, I'm obviously a huge fan of Eric`s Trip, and all the musicians who comprised the original band (Julie, Chris, Rick and Mark).

In the summer of 2006, my future/current wife and I drove across half of Canada to attend the first Sappy Records Music Festival (now known as Sappyfest), in Sackville NB, and of course, I brought the old radio shack tape deck.   

I taped both 1.5 hour sets from Eric’s Trip, and all three solo sets from the band members.  

Sappyfest continues to be an annual tradition for many, and Sappyfest #12 is happening this coming weekend. In recognition of Sappyfests’ continued awesomeness, I’d like to share my uncut recordings from Sappyfest #1 with anyone who may be interested in listening to them.  

Be warned: The quality is not top notch: these sets were recorded on a $20 tape deck, held in hand.

Enjoy!

Julie  +  Chris  +  Rick @  The Vogue Theatre, Saturday August 5, 2006

-         Three 30 minute solo sets: I’ll keep the track listing “a surprise”.  You should know that Rick’s set is a masterful (and legendary) tribute set to Syd Barrett!

Eric’s Trip @ George’s Roadhouse, Sunday August  6, 2006

-         This Sunday Set is a real window into a late night ET set: the playing is sloppy but the stage banter is amazing. ;)
