Retribution Gospel Choir Live at Kilby Court on April 16, 2010

samh — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 08:00:39 +0000

I recently traveled to Salt Lake City to attend the Retribution Gospel Choir’s performance at Kilby Court, April 16th, 2010. Two opening acts performed followed by a set timing in just under an hour by RGC. Attendance was around fifty people, many of whom were obviously fans judging by their reactions to each song and by the informal chat sessions with the band following the show.

I recorded the fifty-three minute, twenty-four second set and have shared the audio on archive.org. To listen, use the embedded streaming functionality below, or download the set in it’s entirety from the archive.org set page.

Retribution Gospel Choir – Live at Casa del Popolo – Quebec

samh — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:57:58 +0000

RGC is currently on a world tour promoting their newest album, “2″ and the commentary from fans in attendance thusfar has been quite positive. People are commenting on Sparhawk’s intensity and are noting that bandmembers Pollard and Garrington have taken to displaying a vigor not previously seen. Having seen them play in December I too saw and felt this new dynamic and think the band is really coming together as a performing act.

At their recent appearance at Casa del Popolo in Quebec, Montreal, Canada Retribution Gospel Choir’s live set was recorded by an obviously skilled bootlegger. The recording was submitted to the Internet via a Bittorrent and then subsequently uploaded and shared via archive.org. The recording quality is superb, the setlist quality.

Very high recording quality of an excellent Low show from 1999, when they were still very much a band that played extremely quiet, slow music and their song titles were just one word.
