At The Stable - Chris Barron & The Give Daddy Five
April 14th, 2000 at the 160 Bar, New York City, NY
An awesome performance of one of Chris' best solo songs. Recorded by David Landsberger during an intimate gig at the 169 Bar in New York City. "The Give Daddy Five" was Chris' backing band in 2000 and 2001 and had different line-ups throughout the years. The line-up that night was Aaron Comess (drums), Rob Clores (keyboards), Todd Horton (trumpet), Eric Lawrence (sax) and Chris Barron (vocals, guitar).

Dart Tossin' Blues - Spin Doctors 1991
February 13th, 1991 at Emerson College, Boston, MA
Another classic Spin Doctors performance taken from the "Unreleased Gems" collection. A bluesy tune that the band did not perform very often.*
Cleopatra's Cat - Spin Doctors 1997
July 19th, 1997 at the Gurten Festival, Bern, Switzerland
Here's a pretty extraordinary version of the Spin Doctors' classic song "Cleopatra's Cat". An extended version of the song including a really sick keyboard solo from Ivan Neville at the end of the song. The line-up was: Chris, Mark and Aaron with Eran Tabib (guitar) and Ivan Neville (keyboards).
Note: The tempo of the song is slower than usual, which is because of some transferring problems that appeared before I got my hands on this recording. Don't know too much about the source, though. Please read the copyright statement on the bottom of this page, too.*
Laraby's Gang - Chris Barron with John Popper 2002
December 2002 live at the Here Arts Center, New York City, NY
A beautiful Chris solo rendition of the Spin Doctors' song "Laraby's Gang", performed in December 2002 at the Here Arts Center in NYC. This was a show in honour of Tim Vega, artist and brother of pop-folk singer songwriter Suzanne Vega, who passed away in April 2002. John Popper joined Chris during his solo set - later that night, Chris joined John and performed some cool Blues Traveler tunes with him.
So Bad - Spin Doctors 1992
May 22, 1992 live at Lawrenceville High School Prom, Lawrenceville, NJ
"So Bad" is one of the most fascinating Spin Doctors blues songs. There are not many recordings of that song available. Without any doubt, this one here (taken from the old "Unreleased Gems" compilation) is simply breathtaking and beautiful.
Fisherman's Delight - Spin Doctors 1991
April 24, 1999 live at WBOS Earth Day, Boston
This one's really rare - a live recording of "Fisherman's Delight" which was released as a great studio version on the "Here Comes The Bride" album in 1999. On April 24, 1999, the band presented some of their new stuff such as "Here Comes The Bride", a great rendition of "Wow" and this track. Featuring Carl Carter on bass, Ivan Neville on keys and vocals and Eran Tabib on guitar.
Gestalt's Blues- Spin Doctors 1989
November 24th, 1989 live at the Mondo Perso, New York City, NY
One of the earliest Spins live shows circulating - "Gestalt's Blues" is a true Spin Doctors classic: another funky tune with some great guitar work by Eric Schenkman.
Songs In The Key Of Goodbye - Chris Barron 2002
June 13th, 2002 at the Sidewalk Cafe, NYC
This is a great new song by Chris Barron, just the man and his guitar - recorded at a wonderful CB NYC solo show in June, 2002.
