I didn’t have time to transfer a tape for today’s post so I poked around the hard drive and found this classic. I digitized some tapes for the AOD reissues and this one didn’t get used, but I really loved the WFMU in studio sets. The one from 1985 with White Flag is the best one, I think. I might have listened to that tape more than their albums.
The quality on this one is decent, but you can tell that they were playing pretty loud in the studio. This performance was just before their US tour in the summer of 87. Sounds like it may be one of the first shows with Keith Hartel (he is referred to as the new kid).
