The Amherst trio had towers of amps stacked up all over the stage, including one that was pointed directly towards front man J Mascis, in case his monitors weren’t providing him enough of his own guitar sound. And not having enough sound has never really been a problem for the group, and it certainly wasn’t on this evening as the band tore through a fiery 90 minute set that spanned the band’s entire career.

I’ve been meaning to check out this album, thanks for the reminder with this video. I haven’t listened to much Steve Earle but Townes Van Zandt is an all time favorite and I have heard good things about Steve Earle’s cover album.
Absolutely love this performance, but the record didn’t really click for me. There’s some intangible that Steve has that is amplified when he’s playing in a live setting–the man is just too damn cool.
I can definately see where that’d be true. I will still be checking out the record and I should finally dive in to the Steve Earle catalog.
i really enjoy the new one, but i think it helps that Townes is a favorite of mine
I am a bit wary of albums like this (single artist covering a single artist) but I’ve heard good reviews from friends. But I am sure it will just bring me back to my Townes records.
Yay for this one, loved it, thanks.
Made me miss Austin.
