Explosions In The Sky, 4 Jul 1999
  http://www.explosionsinthesky.com

This is where it all started. They had never played a show, and somehow got this gig booked on July 4th as Breaker Morant. That night as we finished the remarkable set, we sat out, watching the fireworks, and they decided that they were going to be called Explosions In The Sky from now on. They have gone on to do pretty great things since then.

whoa. i can't believe this. you guys experienced their first gig ever! and the name. i've always thought that 'explosions in the sky' is a very creative name that sparks bits of imagination whenever i read/hear it... can't you please make any track of this first gig available online??

hey w, are you also gonna work on the 2nd eits show? like put up re-mastered (non-glitchy) tracks, and possibly even the other two tracks in the setlist?

I'll try and trackdown both DAT's and see what I can do
rich :: michigan :: :: 4 Jan 2006 @ 12:22:39
w, those aren't explosions in the sky songs...
w :: kvrx :: :: 5 Jan 2006 @ 11:01:11
they were called Breaker Morant back then and this is what was listed in on the DAT label
rich :: michigan :: :: 5 Jan 2006 @ 11:16:48
but according to refurbished robots, they should have atleast played "Remember Me as a Time of Day." are you gonna upload the mp3s?
w :: work :: :: 5 Jan 2006 @ 14:51:32
hmmm yeah, i'll have to look at the track name stuff, hopefully more DATs aren't labeled wrong, i've copied the DAT and just have to split up the songs, i was going to do it yesterday but ended watching the rose bowl, i'll try and have it up this weekend

It's amazing to see how much bands improve over the years, but I think EITS sounded pretty good from the start. Either way there will be more greatness from these guys in the future. Amazing live shows also.
Daniel Burazer :: North Carolina :: dannavy2002@yahoo.com :: 25 Mar 2006 @ 10:22:04 :: 5 (out of 5)
The songs are sounding great for the lack of mastering. Most bands have not the depth explosions has. they are definitely unique.
Rob :: South Texas :: ATDI42047@aol.com :: 19 Apr 2006 @ 19:09:27 :: 5 (out of 5)
I've barely found out this band and site existed, these guys got thier sh#t together, there no At the Drive-In but they come pretty damn close. I really like, and that honestly is hard to find anymore. Hope to catch these guys on a new tour!
willie idiodik :: smell a :: :: 29 Apr 2006 @ 19:47:05 :: 5 (out of 5)
why is'nt track 7 available?
w :: :: :: 29 Apr 2006 @ 20:47:43
because it's on LL Vol. 4
Bob :: UK :: :: 12 Jul 2006 @ 13:38:51 :: 5 (out of 5)
Any chance of us getting Track 7 up there as well, I'm a bit anal and like things to be complete. Yeah, I could buy the album but...
ethan :: :: ethansnew@gmail.com :: 13 Jul 2006 @ 12:36:54
i know after shipping it probably would be like....4 quid?
skyler :: north texas :: :: 29 Jul 2006 @ 20:59:00
it's not letting me download them. :-(( skyler :-)
t :: :: :: 29 Jul 2006 @ 21:36:08
Why is Remember Me as a Time of Day not available for download?
ek :: austin :: :: 30 Jul 2006 @ 16:30:35
t: because it's on local live vol. 4. follow the link at the top of the page for more info.
Andy :: UK :: andy@reevesluker.freeserve.co.uk :: 15 Oct 2006 @ 13:20:59 :: 5 (out of 5)
Unlike Bob (UK) above, I am not too tight to buy LL volume 4, but the order online button only allows US addresses - can I buy from the UK and pay a few more pennies in postage please?
Danilo :: Toronto :: :: 19 Nov 2006 @ 12:03:54 :: 5 (out of 5)
Somehow I found this...thanks - this is great! I saw them 2 years back, and I have been dearly awaiting the next live explosion in the sky. Bravo, bravo for allowing me to hear the origin.
justin :: SLO, ca :: :: 11 Dec 2006 @ 16:56:56 :: 4 (out of 5)
I ordered the KVRX Vol. 4 cd. For 4 bucks how couldn't I? Is this set mastered yet? Or just the other EitS set? I noticed a few hiccups. A remaster would be much appreciated. Thanks
Kaoru :: Portugal :: dark_eyedea@hotmail.com :: 29 Aug 2007 @ 09:41:51
Please someone upload track 07. I don't live in the states =/ I'm a very die-hard Explosions fan, and it would be wonderful if I had the whole set to listen to.
s :: austin :: :: 16 Mar 2008 @ 13:18:57
Since the link to order LL Vol. 4 isn't working anymore, could Track 7 be made available for download? Or maybe just put the LL order page up again?
