This was one of the best concert experiences of this year, the Turbanator rocked the house!
Here's a short review I posted elsewhere:
Holy smokes! Smith was da shit, as they say!!!!!!!!
The band really got it together in the second (almost 90 minute! the first was more than an hour already) set. They did some standards (Sweet and Lovely, Willow Weep for Me, a beautiful alto feature Harlem Nocturne), the Beatles' Come Together in the funkiest ever version, and several Smith originals - great great music, loud and stinky as that kind of music ought to be! (I did some thinking and I'm quite sure Larry Goldings' Trio was the only organ group I've heard live before... now that was a whole different thing last night!)
The encore closes disc 1, as the second set + encore was too long for one CDR.
The sound rating is conservative, the sound was shitty at the concert, and I think I caught it about as good as possible with my equipment.

Note:
This is the complete set, taped from the gallery to the side of the stage (only location where it was possible to tape at all, on the floor it was standing room only and very crowded).
I cut some atmosphere before and some applause after the encore, would have been a bit too long to fit on one disc with set 1, otherwise
Please help identifying CD1#5 and CD1#7 - both are very familiar!
