Steamers Victoria BC September 1 1999 - Farmer In The City

Lucky's Notes:
In early September 1999, Martin played a very small tour (a handful of shows) with a project entitled 'Farmer In The City', which, as we all know now, is the name of a song on the 'Poppy Salesmen' lp. If memory serves, this is the second show of the tour, Tofino the night before being the first. I also recall the other guitar player telling me that this was Martin's first tour without the Rheos. This show features some really amazing originals, such as 'Redwing Blackbird' that have not appeared anywhere else. There are also some tasty Neil Young and Joni Mitchell covers; but, probably the coolest thing on this recording, are the Bruce Cockburn covers 'Thoughts on a Rainy Afternoon' and 'Arrows of Light -> Joy Will Find A Way'. Martin looking forward into what would soon become side-projects sans-Rheos, and looking back at his roots.
