Mother McCree's Garden

With the exception of the studio version of "Wishing Well", all the tracks on this site were originally recorded on Type II High(CrO2) audio cassettes. The live material was recorded with a single, stereo microphone in the back of the club and recorded directly to tape in real time. Therefore, when mastering these old tapes to digital, much of the tape hiss remains. Quality issues aside however, I think all will agree that the energy and magic that was Mother McCree's Garden has been captured and shines through on these recordings.

Opens with a flub on Tingle, but then captures some fantastic jams on Wishing Well, Stick It, and especially Little Bird Fly. Must've been all the cosmic funky groove Blindsight was bringing into the place.
