i'm in this video @ 3:21 :) was a pretty life-changing show for 17 year old me. i ran into jim o rourke at a record store a few weeks later and was he was kind enough to educate me about john fahey for a long while.
John McEntire always has this look like he knows how awesome the next 5 Tortoise records in the future are, but they haven't even come out yet so he's just going to look pissed cause' he can see it before you can.
This rules. Love how they seem to simultaneously antagonize and egg each other on. This is the closest I'll get to ever see them live (since they're no more, of course). On my chance to see them I was too young to get into the club all those years ago in Chicago. Their albums were ear-opening.
