site update

I have three new Atlanta shows up on Dimeadozen if you want them.

mc chris - 2018-05-09, Drunken Unicorn, Atlanta GA - FLAC
mc chris - 2013-08-24, Drunken Unicorn, Atlanta GA - FLAC
mc chris - 2016-02-27, Drunken Unicorn, Atlanta GA - FLAC

site update

Due to server hard drive space limitations a lot of links to larger files (flac...ISO) are down. The mp3 links should still be working. If you want a show in flac and the link is broken email me and i can get it to you. Sorry about that.

site update

We moved. Now at mcchrislive.PFHARLOCK.com

Fixed all the links that pointed to the old domain. Enjoy!

video update

unknown date of the 2005 pensacola video is now known...27nov2005. thank you MDT!

site update

coming out of hypersleep...new content for 2013 soon. there's also a new show from 2012 i'll be posting.

site update

fixed links to video files that were larger than 2GB in size.

site update

fixed html.

site update

howdy. i actually got some email so there's still interest in this site it seems.

hmm, new shows? maybe...just maybe.

maybe one day i'll fix the html too, i do think about it every once in a while. again, all the links still work, but if you find a broken one just replace mcchrislive.com with mcchrislive.pfharlock.com in the url. easy right? much easier than fixing all the damn html code (i code the site using vi). but that's what i get for coding in a bunch of absolute links...stupid i know.

site update

oh...hello 2012. didn't see you there.

there's still no new shows (that i know of)...and his last show in atlanta was at the drunken (again!). i'm realizing that only a very small percentage of genpop actually cares about live recordings anyway. and that small percentage is the tapers themselves.

and no i haven't fixed the html yet.

site update

some of the html code is now busted on the site since it turns out it was hardcoded for the mcchrislive.com domain. i'll be fixing that soon. in the mean time, not all of the downloads will work. sorry 'bout that!

if you really want to download something just replace any reference to mcchrislive.com in the url with mcchrislive.pfharlock.com and the link should work.

site update

times are tough. i let the mcchrislive.com/net/org domains expire. they wanted $12.95 each. per year. no thanks.

please use this address from now on. it's the original address anyway.

plus if you're wondering, no, there's no new recordings that i know of. his last few shows in atlanta have all been at the drunken unicorn which is an epic hole. i guess dives have their purpose...but it's not for taping!

mc! please go back to playing at the masquerade!

i didn't even try to record the show here last month. the two shows before that (again, both at the drunken) i got shut down and told no taping. ok ok i was told no taping once, and the other show i was told i had to tape from the corner where the sound was horrendous, so the tape was crap. anyway, thems the ropes.

audio update

now that the 2010 spring/summer tour is over, how about a collection of shows from 2009? here's five that i rustled up. many thanks to all the tapers who shared their shows - travelinbeat, AlienBoBZ, and jeremyjsand! enjoy, bob.

download here! links at the top are new shows from the 2009 tour

site update

hello 2010! i do have several shows from the winter 2009 tour to post. coming soon...

video update

this is a complete video recording from mc chris' 2006 show at the social in orlando, fl. special thanks to Chris Williams for taping and providing this show. Chris also took the time to master the recording into a very nice DVD, with menus and chapters. please be sure to review the show notes for all the details. enjoy!

audio update

thanks to Jarod aka AlienBoBZ for this show (it makes four that Jarod has contributed). this is very cool since it's only the second show from 2006 to surface. ok ok...third if you count the 2006 DVD from dekalb, il (thanks steggallc). plus, this show sounds really great too so enjoy.

mc fall headlinig tour 2008

maybe mc's last stop in atlanta for a while? let's hope not. he's got big plans for his cartoon, so he said he's putting touring on the backburner for a while while he pursues his animation dreams. thanks for stopping in atlanta one last time! great show...enjoy, bob.

exceptional coverage of the 2005 tour

this is the first of two shows that my friend Dave recorded in 2005 and 2006. he was very kind and shared his master tapes with me. here is a great show, both in terms of quality and content. the 2005 tour was with dj john and before the remixes (although fett's vette is a remix). so sit back, relax, and enjoy like in those maxell commercials. thanks again to Dave, this is a great tape! bob.

actionville / 2

thanks to Skittle at the mcchris.com message board we can now all enjoy the actionville show from december 28th, 2007. he filmed the show, but his camcorder battery died a little over half way in. he kindly shared the recording with me and i authored it into a dvd. now, enjoy! bob.

one from the vault...

ok ok so it's been sitting on my hard drive for 18 months. enjoy this classic show from 2006, complete with non-remixes and dj john! bob.

a lofty show will soon surface. bob.

audio update

zombies in the bell tower!

my original plan was to drive up for the two shows in north carolina at cat's cradle. but mick tells me, you can't always get what you want. i had even already bought tickets for both shows. not wanting them to go to waste i sought out someone who could put them to good use...ie, someone with a taping rig. lucky for me (and you) a fellow ts.com member was willing and able to take my tickets and go tape the show! yah! so thanks to J.T.L we have a very nice recording of the show in glorious extra stereo sound! thank you J.T.L, you and that Peluso mic (and the 702) truly rock!

site update

three years online today. moving up the domain chain!

some changes, i reencoded all the audio shows (from the wav files silly) to include id3 tags and better compression options. i dropped some sections of the site to focus on complete audio and video recordings. gone are the studio releases (this is a live site anyway), video clips (if you're looking for short cell phone vids check gootube), pictures, and the setlists - these just weren't updated in years.

many thanks to mc chris for allowing taping and being cool with spreading his music around freely. thank you previous content contributors! remember this site depends on you, constant reader, to go forth and record mc's live shows! go! tape! send me the files! it only takes one person to capture the show. think of your kids! bob.

audio update

here's your after christmas stocking pumper. complete audio recording from the show on 17apr2007 at vinyl in atlanta, ga!

it's a great show, and it was my birthday (well he did play past midnight, so fuck it). plus the sound is pretty damn smart in this one. enjoy! bob.

audio update

the mt. pleasant show at the village tavern on july 15th 2007 is up in the audio section.

i'd never driven out of state for a show, so what the hell. plus it was my friend's 30th birthday - what better way to spend it than at a mc show! bit of a drive from atlanta, but hey i needed to make a beer run anyway. enjoy! bob.

audio update

the st. petersburg show at the tamiami on july 18th 2007 is up in the audio section.

a very fine show brought to us by oniontaper. thanks so much for taping and sharing - love those peluso's! i'm only posting the original flac files since most tapers prefer their work not be distributed in lossy (mp3) formats. so if you're new to flac, you'll be surprised by the quality you've been missing with those mp3 files. don't be put off by the file sizes either (you know you have broadband and a zillion GB harddrive). if you need help with flac, see this site. thanks again to oniontaper! enjoy! bob.

audio update

the birmingham show at zydeco on november 12th 2007 is up in the audio section.

mc skipped over atlanta for the fall tour so i drove to alabama to tape this. i wanted to see a full show and not just the tease of him opening for pinback. i miss the roxy's sound system though. enjoy! bob.

studio update

Let's just say we'd like to avoid any Imperial entanglements.

audio update

the atlanta show at the roxy on october 1st 2007 is up in the audio section. this was the first night of the 2007 fall tour with mc opening for pinback. there wasn't any need to be nervous mc! the show rocked and i'm sure the kleenex was soaked. i thought the set was tight, the jokes joke-y, and the sound in the roxy is really sweet.

this was open taping at the roxy so the milab mics were flying high. very nice sounding recording if you ask me. there is one blip in the volume in the first track but otherwise everything behaved. enjoy! bob.

studio update

mDt was very kind and sent me a copy (electronic, not the physical disc!) of the first pressing of knowing is half the hassle. now it's up in the studio section for you to enjoy.

i've got the mp3 and oggs up, but it's pointless to offer the flacs since these discs were sourced from mp3 files (mp3 converted to wav and then burned onto cd-r). anyway, enjoy. thanks to mc chris for allowing us to trade freely his hard work (it's a thumpin' good one too). special thanks to the unknown guy on OiNK who uploaded it, and mDt for snatching it before they yanked it.

if you download an album, buy a t-shirt to return the favor to mc chris!

site update

all up, i finally got through updating the video section. everything in it's right place. please report any anomalies in the code should a 404 pop up. i still want to tweak the pages a little, just so they are all in sync, thematically.

but bob, you say. all this shit is old...so 2005. well yeah, but this is classic mc chris. first tour mc chris. mc chris with dj john. enjoy the past while i prepare the new stuff. bob.

site update

i'm still grinding out the site updates - check the video page as it's the last section to undergo the knife. slow and steady good buddy. i drove to south carolina to see mc live at the village tavern and taped it with my new milab mics. sweet. i've got a backlog of new shows to upload, so prepare yourself for the deluge. bob.

studio update

eating's not cheating (dc flag) and dmoc are up in the studio section. remember to buy something if you download.

i updated and re-enabled my hotlinking code. please contact me if you have trouble downloading anything. as long as you're downloading from my pages (and not direct links to my files from some other web site) then you should be fine. bob.

studio update

mDt sent me the third pressing of hassle, so the alternate version of hijack is up. i also uploaded the original eating's not cheating. watch for the other two albums soon.

thanks to my buddy from texas for the updated site logo! it's an update on his original design. enjoy, bob.

site update

studio releases are going up in the studio section. click the link at the top of the page. only hassle is up right now, but i'll be adding the others once they are gone from itunes. enjoy the quality of flac (lossless), or high bitrate mp3 and ogg files.

thank mc chris for allowing this, and enjoy! bob.

site update

the site redesign gave way to a site tuneup instead. the changes are subtle, but hopefully makes it easier to navigate and find the creamy mc live goodness you're here for. all of the html coding is still done by hand in vi so please excuse any fatfingerings. it will be a few days before everything is working properly so you will find some 404s scattered about.

after two years of spam, it was also time for a new email address. please contact me here:

if you're using thunderbird as an email client and you click on the email link and it populates your To: field as "mailto:my email address" please remove the "mailto:" portion and just leave the "my email address" part.

site update

i missed the site's birthday...over two years now online (and still no ads!). i hope someone taped the secret show last night in nyc. i hope even more they'll find this page somehow and contact me for a ftp account to upload it. hell, put it up on dime or etree...or even trader's den! i guess with mc's core audience either being eighteen or stoned (or some combination), i don't have much faith that people are taping his shit. i'll fight the good fight whenever he's in atlanta. speaking of atlanta i did record the last atlanta show at the loft. i'm just preoccupied with downloading hd movies from usenet at the moment. plus i was a little burned out on taping, and this show is going to be a little bitch to edit since the sound guy at the loft kept changing the volume at the show. so there's three sections to the atlanta show: part 1 is motherfucking LOUD, part 2 is amped a little low, and part 3 gets it about right.

anyway, it's been a good two years. mc please don't let them tell you we can't tape anymore if you got signed last night. bob.
