Mercury Lounge, New York
December 5,6 and 7, 1997
OU Notes: In December 1997 the Oils played three nights at New York's Mercury Theatre. Each night was captured by the same taper in the audience, and I have to say these are the best, clearest audience recordings I have ever heard.
They are also fantastic shows. I don't know the venue, but it sounds pretty small and intimate, with both band and audience having a great time.
A lot of the songs that would later become "Redneck Wonderland" are played over the three nights. Most of them had new names by the time they were recorded, and some also changed quite a bit.
I have some CD covers that I made years ago on here as well. The three shows are spread across four discs - refer to the CD covers to see where to split things.
There is a fair bit of variation in the setlists from night to night. Highlights include "You May Not Be Released", an outtake/leftover from the Diesel and Dust album later used as a B-side for Blue Sky Mining. Each night closes with "Know Your Product" by the legendary Aussie punk band The Saints. And on night two we even get a brief snippet of Led Zeppelin's "Dazed And Confused"!
The lists are also long, with 21 songs played each night.
