hey just got back from boston about an hour ago. I could not go to sleep after my 2 1/2 hour ride home, not too bad of a drive. Well worth it, Boy do I love these guys!! Anyway I taped the show anyone want it, just e-mail me. I will be glad to give it to anyone. I was surprised to see I was the only one there with a rig. Josh was trying out his new gear to tape the show and mix the aud. with the board but the cd burner would not work so he took it down. Hope to see some people in maine!!!!

I went to my first breakfast show last night and was overwhelmed. I heard of the band through jambase when they changed their name and then was reminded of their existence in relix. Their response was warmly enthusiastic and recomended to check them out. So I traveld into the middle east and was blown away which I am sure is their routine. Would love a copy of the show; I think I talked breifly after the show. You said that it was missing 3 minutes due changing tapes but no worries to have any of this stellar show would satisfy my hunger. I assume you use analog because of the changing the tapes which I love! Digital recordings are clever representations of sound but they loose information from the wave and analog is like having the music give you a big hug (I love vinyl too). Let\'s work something out at your convenience and I will check out your music from the tribe describe website. thank you so much for taping the show!
peace
ted

Capacity: Upstairs: 110; Downstairs: 575


Big difference between the two rooms.  

No wonder the show sold out.

In 1975, the storefront next door was acquired and the two rooms connected to create what is now called the Upstairs. That same year, live music at the Middle East was born. After dinner came belly dancing, jazz, latin, and funk.

Music at the Middle East took a serious turn when rock impresarios began renting the 200-capacity Upstairs and booking top talent to play there. This innovation forced the dining room into its present Massachusetts Avenue address.

Yeah I had a couple of friends turned away... Got 4 in through the back, but still... always a bummer to have first-timers turned away. Doubtless leaves a bad taste in their mouths. It was certainly packed in there. Although, at the point when they were saying it was capacity, I thik they safely could certainly have gotten a few more in. Also, from what I heard, they weren\'t letting more people in as people left to go home, which is kind of a bummer.

That\'s weird because i found those numbers somewhere on the Middle East\'s website.  110 definitely sounded too low anyhow when i read the page.
