First of all, thanks and much love to Mark, Jojo, and Megan of Wookiefoot, for all the fun times we’ve shared, and extra-special thanks to Mark, for the tip on Matisyahu!

Also, many thanks to Leib for making it possible for me to share this recording, in the further interests of the Matisyahu live archives!! Besides being a bit of vintage Matisyahu, it is also significant in that it’s the first Wookiefoot show to get clearance from the band to be shared on a torrent tracker, thanks to Leib! They’ve always been okay with taping and trading, but not so much into the online thing, unless that’s changed recently. This is also the first show I’ve ever uploaded to e-tree, so I hope it all goes well!

This recording is a bit rough in places (not my worst recording, but definitely not my best, either), and the crowd can be pretty rowdy at times, but this was the first time I saw Matisyahu, and I feel lucky to have documented this performance. Just on the verge of becoming huge, in a relatively small club, weaving his songs into the Wookiefoot set, who in turn backed him for a handful of songs. A little piece of history. I’ve shared this once before in a trade, but this is a much better mastered version, trust me.

No processing has been applied to these files except a minor bit of surgery to mask a guy who grabbed one of my mics and was screaming directly into it.
