Little Atlas – Live at Rosfest 2004

Monday, November 9th, 2009 by Little Atlas

Five years ago, 4 guys from Miami had the time of their lives performing at the inaugural Rites of Spring Festival (ROSFest) in Phoenixville, PA. We had just released our first album, Surface Serene, and we were almost done writing for the follow-up that would eventually be called “Wanderlust”. Recently, I dusted off the single HD camera video from the show, mixed the camera audio with a board mix, and remastered the audio and video. I made some DVDs of the show for the guys, and we came to the consensus that we should share the video with the world. YouTube makes that possible. So, if you are interested, I have uploaded the whole set (more or less) and ordered it into a YouTube Playlist for your listening and viewing pleasure.

The set included a number of songs from Surface Serene and a smattering of songs that would later appear on Wanderlust. Some of those arrangements changed a bit and evolved, but that album always reflected that the songs had been cut and molded on the back of the heavy performing schedule we put on ourselves in the mid 2000s.

The songs aren’t perfect (Firth of Fifth is one tough mofo), but they are an honest representation of where we were at in 2004. For me, most of all, watching the video reminds me of the close comraderie the four of us shared (and continue to share), which is a very cool and rare thing. We choose to share this performance with you all, warts and all. Enjoy!
