Richard Thompson- KGSR,Austin Tx 2/24/94 Live in-studio interview and acoustic xfer DAT Master Clone

On this day in history- February 24.
I realize that I have been posting a lot of short “live in radio studio” things for the On This Day project, but this one is special. This is a very honest and intimate interview with RT (like, “did he really say that” honest) and a bunch of songs live in studio. It’s almost an hour and it’s great. Highly recommended.
Some of these songs might have appeared on KGSR’s “Broadcasts” series of CD’s released from the 90s until now… but not the whole thing. Really good for even casual fans.

Redd Kross- HMV Music, Toronto Canada 2/19/94 xfer f/ 1st gen audio cassette in store full band

I have been having some trouble with the On This Day in History content this week- I had to make a last-minute change yesterday because the original post was pretty lousy, and now today I went to pull a Naked Raygun tape to digitize and it was mislabeled- the tape number on the excel sheet is wrong.. which means it is here somewhere but lost in a sea of 4,000 cassettes. So then, I tried to do a video that I shot back in 2016. I did a lot of work- long writeup and an enhance job and then realized that I already posted it back then.
So here is a tape that was in the place it was supposed to be (tape 3169) and was not online yet. Man, what an ordeal. That’s why I usually do these ahead of time. Redd Kross played HMV’s performance space back in 1994. I had rated this one really low on the ol’ tape list but it was clean and clear enough to allow for EQ to sound decent.
And yes, I know that is a picture of Sloan. That is the only photo I could find of a band performing at HMV. Coincidentally, I taped Sloan & Redd Kross at the same Melarkey’s show in 1997.

Teenage Fanclub- Irving Plaza, NYC 2/19/94 Proshot from Japanese TV 1st Gen VHS FULL SHOW Pyramid

It’s the weekend! That means that you all get moving pictures with sound from me, rather than just audio only.
I am surprised that the full show isn’t on YT yet. There is a 20min clip up, but not the entire Japanese TV broadcast. Includes a 10min tour of NYC clubs (Knitting Factory, Pyramid etc) at the start along with an interview with TFC.
This is GREAT stuff- proshot full show of the band at their peak!

Sleep- W.O.W. Hall, Eugene OR 2/18/94 xfer from master videotape enhanced Matt Pike WOW

Here’s a short one for you today, but it is pretty damn awesome. Here is a 7 minute clip that Craig Babb filmed of Sleep opening for Hawkwind back in 1994. This one was super dark so I brightened and fixed up the exposure before denoising. It sounds pretty good as well! Thanks Craig!
