R.L. Burnside 1978

Screen Shot 2021-05-29 at 8.26.24 AM.png

I don’t know a thing about this footage, but I’ve watched it several times over the years and thought I’d share it with you fine people on Holiday at the Sea. It features several live performances by Burnside, two seemingly on the side of the road and one at home (?) surrounded by family (?). We do know that there are notes that the footage was filmed in Pensacola County, MS, 09/02/78.

Sorry, I don’t have the setlist for this one but we could probably figure it out pretty easily if we were so inclined. I just haven’t been.

Enjoy.

Hania Rani Live from Studio S2 (2021)

“The full live set video was premiered on the evening before the annual Piano Day worldwide celebrations (March 29th). The motivation to make the recording of the live performances which became the release ‘Live from Studio S2’ came from the invitation from the Berlinale Film Festival.”

Hania says:

“I decided to rearrange some of my favourite songs, which I have been performing live for years. Recorded live and captured in the iconic Studio S2, one of the recording studios of Polish Radio in Warsaw. The hall is fully covered with light wood, which reminds me of other Radio Studios all around the world - like Funkhaus in Berlin for example. There is a kind of intimacy when playing the little piano in this huge and also very high venue.”


Setlist:

  1. Hawaii Oslo

  2. Glass

  3. Leaving

  4. Buka


Important People and Facts:

The session was filmed by Rani’s long time collaborators - Mateusz Miszczyński, recorded by Agata Dankowska, mixed by Piotr Wieczorek and mastered by Zino Mikorey. Recorded live on the 4th of February 2021 in Warsaw.
