Man, kinda slim pickings for today’s On This Date in History. Usually when I check a certain date on the audio list, there are about 30 things to choose from and something always jumps out at me to post. Not this time.

After digitizing this one, I am glad I picked it. It was a little muddy and guitars were distant, but I was able to EQ it and make it sounds pretty nice. The taper used a Nak Cm300- I had a set of them in the 90s and loved them. Robyn’s vocals could come up a bit, but otherwise nice. And it was 40 years exactly to the day!

Check out that concert listing. This show (w/Scruffy the Cat opening) for $7.50. Johnny Cash (Pre-Rick Rubin career resurgence) and a bunch of other cool shows at the casino.

Robyn Hitchcock and REM fans should subscribe to the blog or youtube channel. I have something REAL cool to post next weekend!
