[Live MP3s] Low in Providence, RI 2022
Posted on December 5, 2022 at 7:10 pm | No Comments
In the wake of Mimi Parker’s passing a month ago, which still feels as raw as if it happened yesterday, I’ve been invited to share (too many) words on my longtime love for her & her band Low over on Luke O’Neil’s Welcome to Hell World. It wasn’t easy to write, because all those words feel clumsy and inadequate, and part of this seems like a self-indulgent exercise in ‘look how big a fan I am’, something I generally loathe. But I put all that aside to try and express my deep appreciation for a band, and a person, that has been a part of my listening life for nearly three decades. I’ll miss them, and her, terribly.
As a companion to that piece, I thought I’d share a recording of the final time I’d ever see them, earlier this year on April 1st at the Columbus Theatre in Providence, Rhode Island.
Long live Low.
