I recorded these tracks on my little Edirol recorder during our gigs on our South by Southwest Festival tour. Here are some of the venue recordings.

LIVE at Mia's Lounge, Flagstaff AZ, March 19, 2008
We really stretched out here. We had 3 sets to play and had no concern for keeping a tune short. We played many "free" intros, which we completely made up from scratch before segueing to one of my regular tunes.

"Technot," "Backroom Flow," "SOS Wrong Reality" and "Sour Flower" are composed and copyrighted by John William Gordon, 2008. "There Is No Greater Love" was composed by Symes/Jones in the 1930s. "Giant Steps" was composed by John Coltrane.

LIVE at The Lost Leaf, Phoenix AZ, March 18, 2008
After playing at The Lost Leaf on our way to South By Southwest in Austin, the owner, Eric Dahl, invited us to play again on our way back to California. Eric's club is part of a unusual converted suburb area where all the little houses are actually late-night bars/clubs, galleries, cafes, boutiques and restaurants. Eric is an ambassador of music in Phoenix and plays in his own touring band, Sonorous.

LIVE at The Elephant Room, South by Southwest Festival, Austin TX, March 15, 2008
This was our "official" South by Southwest Festival show. It was a ton of fun. We only had a 50 minute set, so we kept the tunes pretty short. The Elephant Room has a nice vibe and I recommend checking it out if you're in Austin.
