Elko

Elko is a double live album by the American band Railroad Earth. It was released in 2006 by Sugar Hill Records. It is the band's first official live album, and fourth album overall. Elko showcases the band's improvisational live performance style, as noted by Allmusic: "The question of whether or not Railroad Earth can jam, if it was really in doubt, is swiftly answered on [this] 126-minute collection of 12 songs, five of which run over ten minutes each." The album was recorded during the band's spring 2005 tour. It marks the first official release of "The Hunting Song," "Old Man and the Land," "Elko" and "Warhead Boogie," songs which had previously only been available on fan-traded live show audience recordings. With the success of Elko, Railroad Earth began releasing complete concert recordings in physical and digital formats following the model established by The Grateful Dead and Phish. The band also permits recordings done by live audio tapers to be made freely available on the Internet Archive.
