It’s time for the Patreon Voter’s Choice! As with most Uncle Tupelo tapes, there is a story behind this one.

Chris Constance was an old friend who was early into digitizing videos onto DVD. Back when we were still trading VHS tapes, he was digitizing my (and other) tapes and sharing them with the postcard mailing list. He was also an early youtuber and clips from this and other videos are online. Chris passed in 2014 of brain cancer. It happened so fast, it was shocking. It is also shocking that he has been gone 12 years now. RIP Chris.

Chris already digitized a similar quality copy of this and uploaded to youtube on his “pantselderly” channel, but his version was low resolution. Here is a similar quality, higher resolution version here. I will also post another early UT video within a week that was also on this tape, and that full version is not on youtube! Woo hoo.
