In the summer of 1999 Ryan Adams recorded the "Snow Kobra" demos. These demos have never escaped into the public domain. At the same time, he played this one-off gig at the Mercury Lounge, follwed by a second gig in December at the Continental. Although he is known for the alt-country music he made with Whiskeytown, the songs he played at this show showed a much more aggressive "rocking / punk " approach. I only recognize one song here, and if anybody knows the titles to the others, please let us know.
1.
2.
3. Do Miss America
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Ryan played a very short opening set for
Gary Lucas' God's and Monsters.
For some reason I was convinced that the show
was billed as SnowKat, but a perusal of all the
documentation on the web has convinced me that
I must have been mistaken.
I missed the first part of the first song.
The vocals are mixed low, apparently deliberately.
Prior to "Do Miss America", Ryan tells the sound man
that this is the song where the vocals should be turned up.
When the set was over Ryan uttered a simple "That's it" and
left the stage. There was no encore"

You are welcome. I sure hope somebody can come up with the setlist.
thankyouthankyouthankyou!
my eta for this thing is about an hour i think, so i'll listen and see if i recognise any of it. if they're songs we've heard before i'll probably know most of them. lol... eek.
so was this recorded with a sony tape player? and what kind of mics were used? anyone get to listen to this yet? thanks for posting. there is a little bit of info on it on answeringbell.com, but nothing really more than what he posted.

dlubock "sort of" confirmed that it was the WM-D6C analog deck over at dime:
(me: "I'm guessing this was the analog WM-D6C deck. Can you remember which mic you used? The supplied one?"
him: "Yeah, it was the analog deck with the supplied mic")
and the supplied mic, according to the manual, was the ECM-909a. So, until we hear otherwise, I believe this is the source info.
thanks for this. He was definitely into Verbena in those days..you can here it on this and then on "note to self don't die". Of course they were into lots of worthy bands you can name as well, but its rockin music for sure.

LOL, thanks for the research. Of course, we'll never know for sure because even when I owned the deck I couldn't have told you the model number. And it's been sitting in some landfill for quite a few years now.
But, excobwoy, how did you like the MUSIC? That's why I went through all the effort of digitizing it and posting it. Actually, my plan was to up it here (once it was finished on DIME) as a small way of paying the community back for everything I've downloaded, but some eager beaver beat me to the punch ....
..too short..but nice anyway.
