One of my favorite podcasts and a throwback to 07. Best of the Left is well worth a listen.
STS9 kicked off 2007 with a number of shows up and down the left (west) coast to sold out crowds night after night and some of their best playing to date. Here you'll find a sample of what went down starting with the debut performance of "BIGS" and travelling through some old and some new finishing up with one of the most inspired performances of "ARIGATO" the band has ever played. Pass it around, tell a friend... and ENJOY!

With Tha Carter IV pushed back until August 29, Weezy makes up for it with an apology: Sorry 4 The Wait. The 12 track project sees him going to his mixtape roots, tackling all sorts of instrumentals from "Tupac Back" to "Gucci Gucci." With features from Gudda Gudda, Lil B, Raw Dizzy and more, Tune may be sorry but we can't blame him. We should be thankful.

Notes: This show was the third of the three-show Super Ball IX festival. The Curtain was played for the first time since September 9, 2000 (202 shows). The narration preceding Mockingbird, (the first since September 30, 2000 (188 shows)), referenced the previous night's fourth set Storage Jam and explained that all of SBIX was merely a mental projection of a reality that the band created in 1988 on their way to Colorado. Mike teased the theme from Leave it to Beaver during BBFCFM. Reba contained Dave's Energy Guide teases. The setbreak featured All-American themed music. This show featured the Phish debut of Big Balls. Disease was unfinished. Meatstick included Japanese lyrics. Before the encore, Trey thanked each of the crew, management and artists who helped make Super Ball IX happen. First Tube was followed by fireworks.
