Stikky- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca. 11/12/88 Soundboard xfer from master audiotape

now that I have my new copy of soundforge, I can start posting all of this audio stuff I had down here by the PC.
Here is another Anonymous recording. We got to be friends with Gilman soundman Radley Hirsch, so there were many soundboards done in 1988-1990 time frame. This one sounds pretty damned good.
As a side note, there is also video of this show (Anonymous taped it with my camera). If anyone wants to synch this soundboard with that video, or help with the HUNDREDS of edit/synch projects that I have, please email me at 3.cameras.and.a.microphone@gmail.com

Recorded by: Anonymous
Equipment used: Aiwa home cassette deck
Transfer equipment: Nakamichi Dragon, Audiophile 24/96 card, sony soundforge to normalize levels.

Operation Ivy- Cotati Cabaret, Cotati Ca 11/9/88 xfer from 1st gen Soundboard cassette rebalanced

Op Ivy played cotati cabaret a couple times in late 1988- this is a copy from Radley’s master board tape. The very beginning (about a minute) is all drums- be sure to skip a couple minutes in to hear how the show really sounds!
Radley sent me a nice christmas card today- thank you, sir.

The Feelies- Cotati Cabaret, Cotati Ca 11/6/88 xfer from master Audio Casette

I wasn’t planning on posting audio today (I have a glut of video again), but Jeff Arellano was talking about how stupid song fadeouts are, and I had to post the one time I saw a band fade out a song live. It takes place at about 7min, and you hear me freak out about it. You also hear me slurp my drink. At 37? min, I bag on the band for being so lethargic on stage. I have no idea why I was so salty that night, I usually take taping seriously but obviously not this time. It might have been due to their anti-video stance. Maybe it was due to the seated show with a 2 drink minimum. Dunno.

Devo- First Avenue, Minneapolis Mn. 11/2/88 xfer f/DAT Clone Schoeps mics complete

Another one from my collection for today’s On This Date in History. I got this one back in the DAT trading days and it remains one of the better audience recordings I have heard. Wow! I don’t recall a prominent taper in the area with Schoeps mics… Mark Janovec used a sony mic (I think) and I don’t think J. Free had schoeps. Whoever it was did one hell of a job. Surprised this isn’t on YT yet.
