Out of the Sky Came the Sun

This is another one that I did anonymously.

Earlier in the blog, I mentioned that a copy of Laughing Cow Records's bootleg of Roxy's 2001 Atlanta show had been purchased, by a fellow fan, from a record store in Marietta. She wanted to redistribute it but wanted new artwork and asked me to take it from there.

What I didn't mention earlier is that Laughing Cow's copy of Atlanta show, despite its slack set list, is, by a nose, the best-quality "audience" tape from this tour. It was suggested that it's an "ALD" tape, though at least one fan disputed that. Whichever, it was definitely a tape that deserved to circulate. I suggested using the same picture of Bry that Laughing Cow had used on the front cover, just in case the Laughing Cow guys ever saw it and were amused or annoyed by my cheek. The Atlanta skyline is disagreeably low-res, but was the best that I had available at the time. Back cover photos were from Phil's site.

There is, incidentally, another audience tape of this show, distributed (and allegedly taped) by Breadfruit Obsauditory. It goes by the name Downs 'Outh and is of much lower quality than Cow's. It also contains far too many drunken season-ticket yahoos from the table next to the taper. If you live in the area and know that this was recorded at Chastain Park, you probably aren't too shocked to read that.
