Vicious Rumors- Old Waldorf, San Francisco Ca 7/23/82 xfer from 1st gen cassette

It’s Tour Manager Doug Tuesday! Well, this is a tape that comes from his collection- we recently figured out that this must be a 1st gen cassette, as show on Side A of this tape took place after the one on side B. It also did not sound like a Doug tape- his are usually very clear but lacking in bass, which makes it great for EQ’ing. I checked with him and sure enough, it’s a first gen.
But enough nerd talk- here is a rare EARLY Vicious Rumors set- 3 years before the release of their first album!
They do “In Fire” off of their 2 song demo from 1982 and a few from their 1985 debut LP.. even one that made it onto the 1987 release. Some were never released, apparently. Sounds pretty good!

Recorded by: ?

Equipment used: Nakamichi Dragon and M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card
I think I EQ’d this in Sony Sound Forge 10
