*New song played especially for this show.
While in Austin a few weekends ago I had the good fortune of having breakfast with my good buddy Mike Thompson who brought along a fistful of uncirculated Alejandro Escovedo and Buick MacKane shows that he gave me.
This show is particularly meaningful as the performance was only 4 days after Mike’s wife Lajuan passed away after a very short, and a very brave, battle with cancer. As you’ll hear, Alejandro dedicates “Sister Lost Soul” and “Sensitive Boys” to Mike and his daughter, Jenny. Both Mike and Jenny were at the show, surrounded by the love of friends and their “Austin family”.
At the beginning of “Sister Lost Soul”, Alejandro starts the song and then has to stop briefly to compose himself before starting the song again. Alejandro was best man when Mike and Lajuan were married on the banks of the Blanco River in Wimberley TX.
As with nearly every performance, Alejandro and Boys play with a tremendous amount of energy and emotion. This night, however, must have been a difficult night for everyone involved. The intensity of the performance is quite evident from the very moment the band hits the stage.
The discs Mike gave me were in wav format and the equipment used for the recording is unknown. It was recorded by Big Ben Richardson. Big Ben works sound at The Continental Club in addition to being Alejandro’s tour manager. He also does FOH sound for all of their road shows when not touring with his own band “Grady.”
Thanks as always to Mike for the recordings and for all he does for us!
