Robyn Hitchcock - Tin Angel, Philadelphia, PA, 3-25-1995, Early Show

In recent weeks, a kind person nicknamed Lil Panda has been helping me find more music to post on this blog. You'll see more results from that in the future, including more covers collections. This Robyn Hitchcock concert comes from him. As far as I know, Lil Panda went to the concert, both the early and late shows, and got a copy of the soundboard for both. For some reason, the late show has been available on bootleg for many years, but the early show has never been, until now, right here.

And what a good show it is! The sound is fantastic, and the hour-long performance is excellent as well. All the songs are written by Hitchcock. The only slight disappointment for me is that he doesn't talk between songs as much as he sometimes does. But you can't have everything. I didn't have to do anything to fix the sound, except I broke the talking between songs into their own tracks, as I usually do.

For the most part, Hitchcock is accompanied by nothing but his acoustic guitar. However, towards the end of the show he switches to solo electric guitar for a little bit. He also is sometimes joined by Deni Benet on violin.

The cover art photo is taken from an unknown 1995 concert. I had used it for another Hitchcock album cover, for "Acoustic Covers, Volume 2." But I decided it fits better here, since there's an early show and late show, and I'm posting them both, and I found this one and another one come from the same source. So I've put a different cover on that "Volume 2" album.
