Ellie- Cattle Club, Sacramento Ca 6/15/91 xfer from master soundboard cassette Holiday Flyer Desario

I warned you I was going to be late today. I wasn’t expecting to be quite this late, but whatever.
I went with this one because not many people have heard this band, and this band formed right before John Conley formed Holiday Flyer (Darla/Silvergirl records). John’s band evolution was: Concerned Children rebel (featuring me on vocals), The Boon, Ellie, Holiday Flyer, California Oranges, Desario. John, did I miss any?
Fun to hear Jerry’s intro. It seems that Ellie was a late add to the show since a) Jerry had to check notes for their name and b) they weren’t on the flyer. This was about 2 weeks before I got my DAT recorder and the Marants PMD430 was on its last legs. It only recorded in one channel. I split the channel here and fixed up the mix in Izotope. Nice mix courtesy of Eric Bianchi.
I also have an Ellie demo if anyone cares.

Uncle Tupelo- Lounge Ax, Chicago Il 6/14/91 Cassette Master-DAT Complete Show

Uncle Tupelo were always a great live experience, especially early on. The shows were unpredictable and the band would pull out some unexpected covers. On this show, we get the band opening with Soft Boys’ I Wanna Destroy You, a made up on the spot song called Factory Girl to poke fun at an audience request, Crazy Horse’s Everybody Knows this is Nowhere, and the only public performance of The Mike Heidorn song! Encore includes the Vertebrats’ Left in the Dark. This along with all of the usual favorites from the first 2 albums. Whatta show!

I can’t remember who recorded this. I think it might be Jeff Segota, but it was mastered on cassette and he had a DAT when I met him in 1992.

Recorded by: Jeff Segota?
Transfer by: ? (Michael Pemberton maybe)
EQ by: Teddy Ray Bullard (give Ryan Gear his schoeps back if you see this, Teddy)

Dinosaur Jr.- Club Citta, Kawasaki Japan 6/4/91 DAT Master Quasi Clone Live Full Show

I am starting to post a lot of these DATs and cassettes that I had digitized a long time ago, but never got around to pulling them off the hard drive. That Pavement show yesterday was sitting there for over 10 months. I need interns.
This show was taped by a lady named Saki- she was a huge Uncle Tupelo fan. She flew from Japan to the band’s final shows in 1994. She taped quite a few shows in Japan with her DAT recorder, and then kinda fell off the radar. We don’t know what she is up to nowadays.
Anyway, this one and the Big Star show posting tomorrow appear to be uncirculated so even though it isn’t pristine quality, up it goes. Enjoy.

The Muffs- The Palomino, North Hollywood Ca 6/1/91 xfer f/unknown gen VHS tape multicam Kim Shattuck

Here’s more from my VHS collection. This one was on the same tape as that Club Lingerie tape. I guess I mis-labeled that Lingerie tape as a multicam and someone got super excited about the error in YT comments. Video Bob usually did multicam shoots from Lingerie, I am surprised that it wasn’t.
This one is definitely a 2 camera deal- I checked. I lifted the date from an old Youtube post that had 1 song from this in lesser quality. This one isn’t perfect quality, but still good enough to enjoy.

From a community cable show called Lady Rockers Live. Thanks to the crew that put this together in 1991, it’s really awesome.

Uncle Tupelo- Charlie’s Tap, Cambridge Ma. June 1991 Xfer from band archive audiocassette

Uncle Tupelo were (in)famous for early, drunken performances. A few of them were documented in their archive, but this one is next level drunkenness. They were recording their album Still Feel Gone at Fort Apache, and this appears to be a one-off acoustic show. Jeff can barely talk straight at the beginning of the show. Awesome setlist, including single-verse attempts of songs never played before or since!

The recording of this in the pile of archive tapes was messy- the tape was just labeled “Charlie’s Tap”, and other fragments of the show was split across other vaguely named tapes.

Setlist: Willin’/ Flatness/ True to Life/ Gun/ There Was A Time/ Corona/ I’ve Been Working on the Railroad/ Punch Drunk/ Sin City/ Do Re Mi/ Life Worth Livin’/ Friend of the Devil/ Before I Break/ Whiskey Bottle/ Factory Belt/ September Gurls/ Gimme, Gimme, Gimme/ Watch Me Fall/ No Depression/ At the Crossroads/ You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet/ The Joker (Brian Hennemen vocal)/ Graveyard Shift (cut)
Only known versions of the Grateful Dead’s “Friend of the Devil,” Big Star’s “September Gurls,” and Doug Sahm’s “At the Crossroads,” (though each of those were unrehearsed and aborted after a verse or two).
