Slobberbone- LaSalle’s, Chico Ca. 1/22/03 xfer from master tape!

Happy Friday everyone. I am posting 2 videos today, and neither one is a local band or local venue. I have more coming next week from Cattle Club, Spankys (!) and more. This is one of my 3 favorite alt-country bands. Slobberbone skipped Sacramento and only played the bay area and Chico, so I hoofed it to Chico to see them. The video cuts in on a great cover of “Don’t Cry No Tears”, as I was having some trouble with the DAT machine at the soundboard (meaning, I FORGOT A TAPEW. DUH.). Audio is choppy for the first 45 seconds and then cleans up. I start zooming with the camera about 8min in. Filmed with the JVC DV camcorder and stock mic.

Live Concert Video

Barbara Manning and the Go Luckys- Merlin, Stuttgart Germany 1/3/03 Soundboard 2 hour set

Today’s on this date is one of those ?-CDR things that became prevalent in the era of CDR trading. It sure sounds like a digital source- no noise at all. The mix is decent as well. Snare is a bit low, but otherwise good enough.

I absolutely love when she does the Butterfly cover. “Butterfly (aka So Much Wine)” by Irish folk singer Christy Moore, originally by The Handsome Family (Brett & Rennie Sparks) and she just slays it, and she opens with it here.

Grandaddy- EPK (Electronic Press Kit) for Sumday 2003 xfer from VHS Master

Out of all of Eddie’s collection, this was the one that I have been looking forward to the most. Grandaddy is one of my all-time favorite bands, and I blew it and was late to the party (2003), and missed them when they were a local band. I only got to see them live twice, in 2012 and 2017. I had tickets to the Gallo Center shows, then Kevin passed. 🙁 R.I.P.
Anyway, this EPK is amazing and hilarious. There is a cliffhanger ending where Jason FINALLY reveals his secret to songwriting… it’s a MUST WATCH.

It’s time for the local spotlight post! This is when we share a local artist’s CD or cassette that has been unavailable for some time.

I don’t know who was in Victory Gin but I remember them playing around town many years ago. Includes a live track from Old Ironsides in 2003. Jim, did you tape that one?
