I waffled back and forth on today’s On This Date in History before pulling this one to digitize. Whenever I have a chance to share a Jeff Segota tape, I usually go for it. He always made such nice quality tapes.
This was the band at their most popular- they had just released the Forgery album on IRS records and were touring some pretty decent sized venues.

Here’s one from Rick Sylvain’s KALX archive. I don’t think this one is complete. Robert Scott from The Bats self-released some CDRs a while back, and there is one called “Live To Air KALX” which has 8 songs. Hopefully I will find the complete performances on one of the many reel to reels I have to digitize.
Anyway, enjoy The Black And The Blue for now. Slightly distorted. Hopefully the reel will be cleaner, if it exists.

Here is the last concert on the DAT with firehose’s last show and Luna’s KCRW performance. At this show, Dean gets a bottle thrown at him- you can hear him end the show abruptly, mid-song but they come back and finish the set. Man, Philly is a tough town- they live up to their reputation.

Collections post from Ken Doose’s collection today. One of the things I like most about Ken’s tapes is that he documented a LOT of bands that would have never been heard otherwise. This is an example. Jalopy had Skippy Webber (R.I.P.) on vocals, and I don’t know the other band members. This might be their only recorded example of the band.
Eric(I presume) did a pretty good job with the mix on this one. The guitar and bass were a bit low in the mix, but the mix was full and everything stayed consistent, so it was a perfect candidate for a rebalance.
I also appreciate Ken for taping while I was living in L.A. Only a couple people taped shows here from 92-85.

Rebalance in Izotope Rx8: Bass and Guitar +6.
Since everyone seemed happy to see the Schlong post yesterday, here is some more Schlong. This one was filmed at a basement show. I feel for the filmer- there is no good place to film, so he/she had to film around people. Not bad considering the circumstances. People in the front sit down after about 10-15min which helps with the view. This is another one that was digitized for the Turn it Around documentary, years ago.
More goodness from Jason Ross’ collection
PS: Check about 20min into the show- that guy filming had a SMALL camera for the time. My Aiwa CV-88 was about twice as big. Imagine lugging that to a show.

I moved to L.A. in August of 1992, but happened to be back in Sacramento to visit family for this show.. and I happened to catch Vomit Launch at Cattle. This was the last time I got to see them, and it was the 2nd to last show I filmed at Cattle.
