Last Week’s Sauce: April 5th – 11th
With the strict criteria of needing audio that was captured live during the previous week, some editions of this feature are easier to put together than others based solely on who was touring and who allows taping. This week was pretty awesome, as when I sat down to put this together I quickly found tapes from Thom Yorke’s Atoms For Peace, Mark Knopfler, and Ween. Rounding out with HT favorites The Mother Hips and a nod to our Cover Wars March Madness champion and voila – this one was easy.

And we continue to take all the selected tracks, normalize them, create some simple fades and put it into one easy to download MP3 for you. Click here to download Last Week’s Sauce Podcast #6
A & T: Atoms For Peace – Black Swan, The Daily Mail, Paperbag Writer
Date & Venue: 2010-04-08 Wang Theater, Boston, MA
Taper & Show Download: Dave Flaschner & Rob Adler
In case you didn’t know who Atoms For Peace is: Thom Yorke, Nigel Godrich, Michael “Flea” Balzary, Joey Waronker and Mauro Refosco. I was at this show and it was ridiculous start-to-finish as every member of this band is beyond solid. I’ve included three tracks, one from the main set (which is the band performing The Eraser in its entirety) and two songs from the encore. The Daily Mail starts with Yorke solo on piano with the band joining in halfway through. Then, they play Radiohead B-Side Paperbag Writer. Atoms For Peace has four more shows on the books. Tonight and tomorrow in Oakland, Saturday at the Santa Barbara Bowl and Sunday at Coachella.

Artist & Title: Mark Knopfler – Remembrance Day, Brothers In Arms

Taper & Show Download: gotfob
As I did above, I’m becoming more fond of including two tracks from a particular show even if they were not performed in that order at the show. To give you the flavor of what Mark has going on these days, I have included one track from his most recent album Get Lucky and the Dire Straits classic Brothers In Arms that was performed in his first encore. Knopfler plays tonight in Santa Rosa, California.

Artist & Title: Ween – Your Party, Let’s Dance
Date & Venue: 2010-04-09 Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, Asheville, NC
Taper & Show Download: Brian Porter
When I saw a boat-load of Ween shows from last week up on the Live Music Archive, I sent a note to our good friend P2G to inquire what would be the best tracks to use. He informed me that David Bowie’s Let’s Dance was a new addition to the repertoire, so I selected it and the preceding tune Your Party. I edited out some crowd noise/tuning between tracks because we know your time is valuable. Ween next plays May 20th at the lovely Starland Ballroom is Sayreville, New Jersey.
