Captain23's Lossless and Live Elephant 6 Archive: Olivia Tremor Control in Chicago

Published Monday, July 24, 2006 by Jeff | E-mail this post

Today we have a brand new feature to unveil: Captain23's Lossless & Live Elephant 6 Archive. The Captain is a longtime friend of many in the Elephant 6 and Athens community, and has what might be the largest collection of soundboard-derived concerts by Elephant 6 bands stored in a "lossless" digital format. Now, each week at Optical Atlas, one of these concerts will go online and be available for download.

This week the concert is Olivia Tremor Control at the Subterranean in Chicago, July 29, 2005. In this epic set (if you burn it to CD, it will take two), the band charges through songs that cover their entire career, and perform, for the first time, the Green Typewriters suite in its entirety. In the coming weeks Captain23 will be posting concerts by Neutral Milk Hotel, Circulatory System, and more.

These files are posted in FLAC format, and won't play on your iPod. To convert them into MP3s, take a look at our FAQ, which is brief now but will probably be expanded later.
