Here is the 2nd of 4 shows on that VHS tape I got from Phono Select. This one is super dark, except Skid is lit well.
Recorded by (from Skid):
“I’m pretty sure some dude named Willie filmed this. He followed us around for a few years…filmed a ton of gigs…then just disappeared.”
Fairport came back to the Palms about 18 months later and they let me record again. When a big/legendary band lets you tape, there is a lot of pressure/stress to make sure you don’t screw anything up. I was plugged into the board and ready to record the show… and my DAT decides to die. It was working fine before! So, while Fairport played their first set, I was sweating and trying to get the damned recorder to work. There is an audience recording of that set if anyone wants to hear it. There was a guy from Auburn(I forget his name) who let me borrow a DAT to record the second set. Thank you, wherever you are now!
