Thank you so much for this. Just incredible. Makes me wonder what else we might have in store of studio videos and recordings. When will we get a Bonnie 'Prince' Billy bootleg series?

I wonder if I wrote a letter to BPB laying out my recent heartbreak, maybe he would let me just come hang out with him for a tour? I could run and get everyone's food and coffee or whatever. That would be cool.

No harm in asking. Especially if you're offering to work.

He'd probably get you work on a farm if you want, so there's that.

Yeah, I'd work the fuck out of a farm for him.

I hit play, saw Kanye's name and immediately turned it off.

I know there's an infamous video clip of the Coney Island gig, from back whenever, but does anyone know if there is more from this gig anywhere? I'm sure someone is sitting on the rest of the video, but has anyone made a recording of the entire concert? (If there was more at all)... Just putting it out there.

Did any copies of this BPP II cassette show up online? I'd love to get hold of it.

Yup, they're everywhere now...

Enjoying BPP II quite a bit.

I forget, did I ever tell you guys I FINALLY picked up I See a Darkness on vinyl? It's great. One of the few albums I only own in that format.

Probably not, but this is good news. I'd also highly suggest Wondershow of the World and Summer in the Southeast--the latter is a live album, but it sounds b-e-a-utiful.

Added to the list.

How's it sound? Or what would you compare it to, if anything?

You didn't ask me, but I'll answer anyway: I'd compare it, unfavorably, to the eponymous self-released "Bonnie 'Prince' Billy" album. I.e. fairly indulgent and hum-drum. Some moments of genius, but fairly forgettable B-sides. How I long for Bonnie to get back to his "I See a Darkness" or "Master and Everyone"-fase...

Can someone send a link ?

What happened to this thread?

- Fanatic Voyage (Mekon covers)
- Best Troubador (Merle Haggard covers)
- Will's marriage

So much to discuss...

That was pretty hard to find on RSD, so that's a great link!
