Dr. Dog: Paradise Boston 5.12.10

 

Dr. Dog brought their energetic live show to the Paradise last Wednesday for the second of two sold out shows.  As I watched from the balcony, the stage was a blur of bright lights and neon.  The songs were grittier and played with more intensity than the album versions, and came in rapid-fire succession - there were almost no breaks whatsoever.  The packed crowd danced to a set that was expectedly heavy on tracks from 2008's Fate and the just-released Shame, Shame.  Having seen Dr. Dog a few times now, I was impressed by how far the band has come in recent years - the rag-tag underdogs from Philly now have a deep catalogue of bouncy folk/psych/pop gems, a reliably excellent live show and dedicated, rabid fan base.  

Fantastic full soundboard recording of the show is available for stream/download below.  Thanks to Dr. Dog and their top-notch sound crew for the great recording.  If you download this please support the band by going to see the show when they come to your town, and go buy Shame, Shame if you haven't already.  Enjoy!

Filmed them a few years ago, hopefully they'll come back to Virginia one day.

Did you record Deer Tick that night?

yeah...got Deer Tick audio too, but they keep their amps so loud there was almost no guitar going through the PA. So, the recording mix is way off...going to play around with it to see if i can salvage it, if so I'll post it on the site. thanks
