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

I just posted the early Robyn Hitchcock show that comes from the same date and location as this late show. No bootleg recording of that early show has ever been made publicly available up until now, as far as I know, but there is a boot of this late show. However, I'm posting it here so you'll be easily able to get both.

The late show is just the same as the early show in terms of stellar soundboard sound quality and performance. If you like that one, you'll like this one. The one snag is that the first song, "Cynthia Mask," was missing the first twenty seconds or so. Happily, I found a bootleg from just a few days later, March 30, 1995, in which he also played that song. So I used that version to patch the missing section. The sound quality for that isn't as good, so you might notice the transition, but I figure it's better than nothing.

Also, this show is about eight minutes shorter than the early show (52 minutes compared to one hour). That suggests that maybe one or more songs are missing, since I've noticed with concerts that late shows are often a bit longer than early ones. However, if that's the case, we'll probably never know, and this is all we've got.

In terms of song selection, the vast majority of the songs are different than the ones played in the early show, so you'll probably want to hear both. Three songs are repeated: "De Chirico Street," "I Something You," and "The Yip Song."

If you compare the cover art photo here with the one for the early show, I think it'll be obvious to you that they both come from the same concert. He's wearing the same shirt, and the lighting is the same. I don't know what show that was exactly, though, except that it took place in 1995.
