With everyone probably counting down the minutes till the long weekend which will either include opening some Christmas presents or chowing down on some Chinese food followed by at least one movie this weekend, we wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays from all of us here at Hidden Track.
To keep everyone in the holiday spirit I’ve pulled together a batch of Christmas related links that would even get Santa to bring something to this Jew on Christmas, enjoy…

Driving home from college Friday night my mind was fixed on one thing: making it to Matisyahu’s Festival of Light concert that was taking place in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday night. Bad weather was surging throughout the east coast and emergency snow reports were forcing people to run for cover. After waiting several months and enduring a long final exams week, the weekend finally came to go see Matisyahu at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in New York City. Once I departed 30th Street Station, the only thing standing in the path was Mother Nature.
Ten years ago tonight, God Street Wine finished an exceptional three-night stand at the the Wetlands Preserve in New York City that marked the end of the line for the band as a going concern. Both the current band and former band members contributed to the action which led to more substitutions than your typical basketball game. GSW also welcomed a number of guests including longtime friends John Popper and Oteil Burbridge.
Each of the three shows were recorded for the 2000 release Good to the Last Drop which unfortunately suffers from sound issues. Audience recordings of the 21st and 22nd are available on the Live Music Archive and give a nice feel for how much love was projected at the band each night.
The first show started with an acoustic set from Lo, Aaron and Dan, who were joined by Bevo and Tomo for the final two songs of the set on 23rd. The absolute last song GSW played on the 23rd was an emotional Into The Mystic that sent everyone home with tears in their eyes. Hopefully one day soundboards of all three shows will surface because they all contain magical moments. READ ON for the setlists from all three shows…

Don’t see a lot of tapes for the Boston Horns show up on the Live Music Archive, so I was psyched to see this pop up this week. Their drummer, Peter MacLean, is an old friend of mine and can be seen all around Boston playing in various groups. The Boston Horns next play January 16th at Ryle’s Jazz Club in Cambridge.
