Pho­to­graph by Lydia See

And now a record­ing of Philadelphia’s psy­che­delic folk out­fit Espers play­ing Blue Öyster Cult’s Flam­ing Telepaths. This boot­leg was recorded at Diana Wortham on Fri­day August 14, 2009, dur­ing Har­vest Record’s Trans­fig­u­ra­tions music fes­ti­val. My friend Lydia pho­tographed the entire fes­ti­val, and she has some stun­ningly good shots.

By the way, an ‘esper’ is a per­son who is capa­ble of telepa­thy, so it is fit­ting that they’ve cho­sen this song to cover.
