The All Aboard, April 16, 1993




Wow.  Gents of LOOB, if you were in the band during this time and want your ego stroked, then this is the tape to listen to! Compare this to the first All Aboard show.  Here, we sound completely confident, relaxed, and playing to a really enthusiastic and responsive audience, at a local place we'd played many times.  Steve plays great on this show, actually everyone plays great on this show!  The banter is great, and this tape is just LOOB giving the people a good night out, no two ways about it!

We played with Piltdown Man on this show.  Years later, Piltdown Man's drummer, Bob D'Amico and I would play together in the Fiery Furnaces.   Piltdown Man's Jimi Durso can be heard loud & clear on this tape as well as friends & family like Jim Giargiana, Lisa, Chris & Ward (of course!), Guy from the All Aboard, and other familiar voices.  There is definitely the sensation of a "night out of time" even more than usual with this tape.

A great show, and a great night to be sure, with all five band members hitting home runs and playing really well together......that audience got themselves a show!  And now you will, too.

recorded yet again by the great Chris Ivers on his portable cassette deck. I think this is the last time Chris recorded us, at least during my tour-of-duty. I don't think I have any live shows after this date, and only one rehearsal tape (which may be from before, I haven't heard it yet and there's no date on it)
