Everyone here loves low quality concert footage. They are a more important part of TMG's following than they are of any other bands. This video of John, Jon and the late Peter Hughes joining Ska band Sad Snack (their own support act, no less) to sing No Children is I think a vital part of the spirit.

The audio is crunchy, the video is shaky. The taping begins most of the way through the song. Darnielle joins in several bars out, Peter Hughes is just jigging around, and the actual musicians playing noticeably wobble when the Goats walk on stage. Wurster seems a little startled by the whole thing, like somones shoved a tambourine in his hand and thrown him out of a plane. Despite that, this is one of the best videos of No Children on youtube. It's a whole damn room singing along loudly, singing along not quite in tune or in time, being recorded for people to share in that glorious moment of live ecstasy. I'm sure the sound engineering and mixing for Sad Snack is excellent, but theres something about a bad bootleg of a whole room enjoying themselves.

Please share your favourite low quality bootlegs of Mountain Goats songs. They'll put colour in your cheeks.

I'm planning to walk to Eccleston for a wedding (I'd rather do the walk than do the wedding). theres a marked path on OS maps, but since its an Estate path they can be a bit dubious. does anyone know if the leg of Buerton approach from Buerton lodge to Aldford iron bridge is open.

Openguessr just giving me black screens and every location in Point Null. Anyone else having this issue?

I specifically remember feeling just absolutely incredible enjoying this jordan lake recording, and just the catharsis of the track and the way Darnielle says "it feels so good". this is probably a recording with a video.

If there is one fanbase where "specific track from a session recording of most of the bands discography where the lead says one specific phrase" is something that people will come through it's here.
