This popped up on my Spotify as a new one today but that live album has been out a while. Interesting to note though, it's probably the best representation of the long running songs ohia live band. They never really recorded an album in that format. The live album with the Italian title was the only thing, but this the live vanquishers, while rougher in quality is a bit better of a performance. Oddly this recording anctually existed as a bootleg for many many years.

Some of the songs from the period that never got a proper release are really cool. She Came To Me As A Ghost and Nobody Tries That Hard Anymore being the two that come to mind immediately.

There was also a song referred to as All Of You In Your Darknesses Alone that only shows up one bootleg I've ever seen and it's really low quality but the song sounds really cool. That was the period of time he was writing an insane amount of material and half the stuff that got played live never made it to an album.

Ok I'm done

I have the bootlegs all downloaded somewhere. Really good covers on there too that I can't find the versions on YouTube or anywhere else. Like Carmelita.

The version I like best is on one of the bootlegs and better than all the ones on YouTube.

There's tons of bootlegs on archive.org. Songs ohia and magnolia electric co both. Speaking of obscure covers, this Boz Scaggs one is so great https://youtu.be/HSCunjjXBw0?si=rhkjc4nEskKKS5U6

Tracked this gem down. Looks like it's no longer in the archive.org collection https://m.soundcloud.com/jacob-evans-57/songschicago05-all-of-you-in-your-darknesses-alone?fbclid=IwY2xjawFQ-nJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHTnJMA9n8_vemmVaGbiCSTlqo6ELR3IxxJWS28oAneDGzaR6H0Xd1NJuMg_aem_qPGoWIMHuGFfu2eHd0LOew
