I took the above shot during Golden Smog's cover of the Split Enz tune "I Got You." This raucous affair of the self-proclaimed "stupor-ground," was one of the most memorable shows I saw while living in NYC. Golden Smog was comprised of Gary Louris (The Jayhawks), Jeff Tweedy (Uncle Tupelo/Wilco), Dan Murphy (Soul Asylum), Kraig Johnson (Run Westy Run), Marc Perlman (The Jayhawks) and Jody Stephens (Big Star). I don't care what they call(ed) themselves, that's one hell of a superground if I've ever seen one. They were friends, some of the most important musicians of the time, a number of the forefathers of the alt.country "scene," and shit, they were just a blast.
Today I was able to locate their performance at The Paradise in Boston three nights later. And here it is for your download. Enjoy it.

I was so lucky to see Golden Smog a couple
of times! One was at the troubadour and the
other was this EPIC show at the belly up.
My sister, her husband and I met up there.
It was so like seeing the Faces on the NOD'S
tour. Just rock and roll expressed as FUN !!
Very fun.
