Son Volt- Birch Hill Club, Old Bridge, NJ 5/11/96 xfer from DAT Clone complete show w/ Covers!

Sorry for the late On This date in history. Rough day.

Speaking of rough days, imagine playing this kickass show which includes a cover of “Love’s Gonna Live Here”, which has not been played much since the Coffee Creek days, then get hit with this review in the local paper. Damn, I guess it’s good that this was done back when the band probably never got wind of this. Yikes.

Out of the 200+ pre-2000 Son Volt shows on my list (I was trying to collect every show for a bit), I decided to post this because of that cover. It sounds pretty decent and is representative of the era. That reviewer needs to chill out. That’s just Jay.

Recorded by: Stacey Taylor I think. I got it from the taper and she did most/all of the northeast shows.

Audio Live Concert

Swingin’ Utters- Demos May 4 to 5 1996 xfer from audio cassette? Vinyl?

This one comes from Dal Basi’s cassette collection and the source seems to be a mystery, at least to me. The noise in between songs makes it seem that it is sourced from vinyl. Many of these tracks appeared on “A Juvenile Product Of The Working Class”, and others popped up on “Hatest Grits: B-Sides And Bullshit”. Not sure if these are different versions. Hopefully someone can tell us if this is truly unique or if these tracks were all oficially released down the line.
