Taper notes:
To pair with BARN109, the other All God's Children DAT I could dig up from my collection, I present this ancient show from a house party I was lucky enough to attend where the band was playing in Long Valley, New Jersey.  My DAT was just labeled "Jack's House Party, Long Valley, NJ".  Where?  I have only vague recollections of this day being beautiful, that Jack was an older gentleman with a house on a large piece of property with a lake in the backyard.  ....and that somehow All Gods' Children scored a gig at this party!  Being that I personally got AGC approved for archive.org, I felt like I needed to contribute my one other recording to help flesh it out.

In case you missed my previous posting of them, one reviewer seems to have accurately described them as "Sun Ra's Arkestra's tour bus crashes into a Klezmer band"....which is pretty close, but you'd have to add a little Pete Seger for his lefy politics, a touch of James Brown for a little funk, and a pinch of something South American & Cuban influence.

This gig is quite different from the one at the Lion's Den I'd posted from February -- I mean the band is just as inventive, creative, and freewheeling as it was at the Lion's Den show, but it's SO different being in a dingy club versus outside at a house party.  Being that it was a house party, there were a lot of drunk people to deal with (kicking into my stand, singing/clapping into my microphone), so I had to spend a lot of extra time cleaning up THUDS of people kicking my stand and the claps and yells into my mic.  Unfortunately there's not a lot I can do about the guy trying to sing "Cosmic Slop" into my mic near the end.  :)  But I think the results are VERY good and the recording is highly listenable and well conveys the craziness of the day.

Enjoy!
