With this latest tour having just wrapped up, and this song both a) having its live debut and then being played every single night and b) absolutely rocking beyond belief every single time, Only Takes A Few was the only song I could possibly choose for this week's Live Tapes Tuesday! I had never heard this one before this tour-- it was written by Jonathan Larson and tMG were invited to record it for the show Tick Tick Boom-- and I have to say the studio version pales in comparison to any live version of it for me. This recording is my favorite, and this whole show is killer, especially the encore of Blood Capsules/See America Right/Up the Wolves/Heretic Pride.

Another Tuesday, another live tape! It's still Tuesday in my timezone this still counts okay. This show is the oldest open tab I have on my phone of the Live Music Archive. Full honesty I don't actually remember listening to this show but I'm sure that I did. It's a really excellent show - a lot of All Eternals Deck songs, a really great Home Again Garden Grove, You Were Cool. I chose Seeing Daylight because it's a song from this set that I'm not very familiar with and I really loved this delivery of it.
