When I look for shows to post for the “On This Day” series, I tend to look for ones that are not online at all.. but sometimes I find something like this. This one is on the Live Music Archive already, but it is from an unknown lineage CDR. This one comes right off of Jonathan’s tape, played back on my old Nakamichi CR5A in the late 1990s/early 2000’s directly onto CDR with one of those Philips CDR880 decks.
This is Greg Lisher’s first show with the band. I am so glad that I kept these CDRs in good shape- I was able to extract it without any issues.
The songs are still a bit primitive sounding here, but there is a ton from the first album, and both covers that became set staples are here as well. You also get an early version of “Lincoln Shrine”, which would be reincorporated into sets toward the end of the band’s first run, in 1989/90.
Recorded by: ? (Jonathan?)
Transfer by: Shayne Stacy
Equipment used: Nakamichi CR5A into Philips CDR880
