Gotta shout out to Evan at Swan Fungus again for locating more difficult-to-find holy relics.  Today, it’s a Dead Meadow bootleg, sometimes referred to as a Live on WFMU recording, though Evan points out that it’s actually a somewhat lost Peel Session.

Dead Meadow releases some of the highest caliber Hawkwind-esque mind-melters today.  Of course, in the studio, you can saturate each track with reverb and panning techniques to make anything sound pretty good.  This is where Dead Meadow prove themselves as an awesome band – they absolutely smoke live.  “Drifting Down Streams” is cultish.

Rumor has it, though, that if you book them at your event or club, you have to clean up a lot of paraphenelia.  This is just what I hear.  Anyway, you can, for a limited time, snag the whole recording at Evan’s diggs, so hop to it.
