Everyone here at SlackDaddy bootlegs would like to welcome you to our site and hope you'll get excited about our current and future releases. We've got lots of great ideas and a vault full of concerts you haven't heard. If you've stumbled upon this web site, there is no merchandise for sale. This is a fans attempt to release some great concerts on CD to be shared with friends.
If you'd like to sample some of the music, check the release descriptions for links to a few 92 or 128 kbs mp3 files, or you can download the entire Otis Archives Volume 1 in 192 kbs mp3.

If you have an Otis and the Elevators concert to add to the Archives, then you are eligible to receive the entire Otis Archives catalog! Don't worry if it's on tape and hasn't been played in years, that's exactly what we're expecting. Send us an e-mail and let us know what you have.

To request a show, add to the Archives, suggest an idea or offer a trade, send an e-mail to archives@folliard.com

The Freak Brothers - Final Performance

Bruce Rummenie, Kevin DeForrest and Jay Rosenstein combined their talents as The Freak Brothers. Sadly, they were together for only a short time before Bruce left town.

They played their final performance on June 16, 1991 in the Channing-Murray Chapel in Urbana, IL. A wonderful show that has SlackDaddy feeling greedy for wanting more instead of counting this blessing.

30 songs on 2 CDs, get it now, only from SlackDaddy.

Organic Advisor - the damage we've done

In the summer of 93, in one incredible session at Private Studios, Jonathan Pines captured Jim Bury, Mark 'Toupee' Zehr and Robyn Hercey at their best. Wow. SlackDaddy is thoroughly impressed and thankful.

A few months later, Zehr went west for employment. The Advisor dissolved before this could be released on CD. A handful of lucky fans obtained a cassette copy.

Better late than never, 62 minutes of 8 originals and 3 covers, the CD is available now from SlackDaddy.

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
Foellinger Auditorium - May 7, 1987

Stevie Ray and Double Trouble played on our campus, in our beloved Foellinger Auditorium, with Otis and the Elevators as the opening band. Sometimes I still can't believe our good fortune. SlackDaddy recorded the delayed WPGU FM broadcast in the summer of 87.

These are actual photos from the show, purchased by a SlackDaddy friend from a Daily Illini photographer.

Otis Archives Volume 4

Cross the Bridge, the second and final studio release from Otis. Released in 1989, the original vinyl version contained 8 tracks, the cassette had 10. This special SlackDaddy version contains all 10 tracks plus two bonus disks recorded live on 3.29.89, a cold and rainy Champaign night when Otis took a break from their recording sessions to heat things up at Mabel's!

Otis Archives Volume 3

The final Otis show, recorded at Mabel's on 9.15.90. If you were there you know you have to get this one ASAP. If you weren't there, shame on you. This is your chance to remember the evening that ended the Otis era. A sad occasion, but there was a lot of love and great music shared that night. It's all captured here.
