My old friends from Ithaca rolled back through town a few weeks back, so I had another opportunity to record one of the most talented American reggae acts around.

On May 17, 2006, John Brown’s Body played live at the historic Great American Music Hall. The venue is a classic hall with acoustics all it’s own and the band filled the room with some thumping bass for sure. We were a little disappointed when the venue denied the band a soundboard feed of their own music (they said it required pre-approval and a $1,000 fee), so that squelched our hopes of pulling a matrix of the board mixed with our ambient mics like we did previously at the Warfield. So, this recording is a classic audience tape with all the reverb and boom you could ever want in a reggae recording! Also,thanks to the band’s generous open taping policy, which permits non-commerical sharing of their live performances among fans, you can enjoy the entire show by clicking the links below or by downloading them directly from Archive.org.
