Paul Division- Aggie Hotel, Davis Ca. 12/31/96 Davis Musicians doing Joy Division Thin White Rope

I was planning on posting something else today, but Paul Ashby just posted this and it was too good… and how often do you get to hear Guy Kyser singing “new to us” joy division covers?

Here’s Paul’s summary of the show:
23 years ago tomorrow, “Paul Division” played the Aggie Hotel, ringing in the New Year with a cheery selection of festive Joy Division covers. I think we might have rehearsed once or twice.

Eric Janssen (guitar, bass on “Decades”), Paul Takushi (drums), Paul Ashby (bass, keyboards), and Guy Kyser (vocals).

We played at the Aggie twice. This is the only one that got taped. I have to believe it’s no less embarrassing than the universe intended.

The Lemonheads- Sacramento Memorial Auditorium KWOD Christmas 12/11/96 DAT Soundboard Master xfer En

Here’s the last (partial) show that I got from KWOD show in 1996. I was a huge Lemonheads fan and was hoping that the soundman wouldn’t notice this guy standing next to the board with a DAT deck in his hand, attached to the board by a cable. It worked for about half the set until he walks over, looks at the back of the board and pulls the cables out at the beginning of Hospital. I was thinking “NO NO NO”. Oh well, I was happy to get anything.
Mix starts out a bit heavy on drums, but gets better a few minutes in.

Sebadoh- Sacramento Memorial Auditorium 12/11/96 KWOD Chistmas DAT Master Soundboard Rebalanced

This one has a story. Brian McKenna promoted this show and I had snuck my DAT deck into the venue. I ask him if we could get Sebadoh’s permission to tape since I had taped them back at Cattle in 1992. We get backstage and Lou Barlow says “oh, YOU are the guy who taped that Cattle Club show? I saw that for sale in Cambridge as a bootleg”. I had to explain that I was not an international bootlegging criminal and that some asshole that I traded with must be selling it. He still gave permission, thanks Lou! And see? This one never got bootlegged.
I had total impostor syndrome, taping through the board at this show. This was the place where I saw my first rock show (Iron Maiden/Scorpions 1982) so it was pretty surreal.
This Sebadoh set is WAY better than the one that we saw at Cattle. That one was painful. They do my all time favorite Sebadoh song, Willing to Wait.

I caught some of the Eels set since they played right before Sebadoh. There is some connection issue about 4min in, but I was able to rebalance this thing and it sounds pretty nice.
