* = announced as the "country version" (hiliariously, Aaron and Lo sing the guitar solos!)

Lo and Aaron played acoustic guitars, Bevo played accordion, Tomo played a basic drum kit with brushes, Dan played an acoustic bass

The band played a full electric show at Irving Plaza later that night, but this was a promotional appearance for their album "$1.99 Romances" at the East 86th Street HMV in the afternoon

Recorded by Scott Bernstein
Original DAT Transfer: 2/7/2012 (came for "free" as it was filler on the 4/30/94 DAT)
DAT re-transfer (due to the presence of one digital drop-out): 4/21/2019
Tracking, Mastering, and Tagging: 6/19-23/2019

Taper Notes:
Coming back to one of my old favorite bands -- God Street Wine for BARN184, I know it's been years since I dug into my archives to pull out a God Street Wine performance to share with you, but here's a real gem of a show!  A short but sweet intimate acoustic performace at the E86 Street HMV record store in New York City to celebrate the release of their $1.99 Romances CD in the afternoon before a killer show at Irving Plaza that evening.  Ever want to hear Bevo play accordion?  Ever want to hear GSW play their music as they hold a dance contest to win a pair of tickets for that night's show?  Ever want to hear the "country version" of Wendy? Well now you can!

You can really hear the band having fun with the material, and the crowd was having a fun time (including, apparently, a baby!).

I was truly ready to post this recording back in early October of 2013, but upon scrutiny, noticed a single digital dropout on the recording that apparently came through during my DAT transfer (DAT is a notoriously unreliable medium), so I held off to achieve perfection -- and finally got around to re-transferring and working on the recording in 2019.  Time flies!

Anyway, hope you enjoy listening back to this as much as I did.

Enjoy!
