Eagles- Riverport Amphitheater, St. Louis Mo 7/6/94 xfer from DAT soundboard clone 2nd set

If you saw my “About the Sac Music Archive” videos, I mentioned that when I started trading DATs in the early 90s, I was able to get some really rare and amazing audio. A lot of it has been officially released by now, but this On This Date in History project has helped me figure out what is still uncirculated, vs. being on youtube already or being officially released.
I don’t see this one out there, surprisingly. nice quality board tape from the Hell Freezes Over tour.

Lemonheads- Taste of Chicago, Grant Park, Chicago Il. 7/4/94 xfer from 1st gen VHS w/Sbd audio Enhan

Aw, I didn’t realize that today was Paul Baloff’s birthday. Search the archive for all of those newly-posted Doug-recorded Exodus tapes to honor him. The one I posted this week rips.
It’s video Friday- here is one that I spent way too much time prepping. This comes from Ross Weyman’s box of VHS tapes that he sent last month. He also sent me the NICE Sounding WXRT FM broadcast off of a DAT master tape. So I transfer the VHS and tried to synch the FM… and the encore won’t synch. No idea why, pluraleyes just won’t do it. You get 52min of great audio and 4min of average camera audio. Camera is nice and steady after a couple of minutes of instability.
This was my favorite era of the band- I saw this tour at the (crappy) SOMA live in San Diego and it sounded awful in there, so it is nice to put this one together. Thanks Ross!

Mercyful Fate- Roskilde Festival, Denmark 7/2/94 xfer from DAT clone Complete show

Finally, today’s on this date in history. I noticed this wasn’t online- only a shaky video with poor muffled audio. The taper brought a Sony ECM144 mic to tape- that mic doesn’t give you a whole lot of low end and you get some noise from the mic hitting a jacket zipper or something. Still not a bad recording and a full Roskilde set. I found it funny that MF played a 75 minute headlining set, then the announcer says “Blue Aeroplanes at 1pm tomorrow”. I guess that’s what happens when you play close to home- you headline and play 75min! I am sure it was a smaller stage, but still. Cool.
