Jay Farrar- Mississippi Nights, St. Louis Mo 11/13/04 f/master DV tape-DVD Uncle Tupelo Son Volt
Today’s On This Date in History comes from an old friend who passed away over 11 years ago now. Chris Constance was a friend of Uncle Tupelo and helped to contribute quite a few early videos of the band, and at least 1 of the pre-Uncle Tupelo band, then Primatives.
He was able to video Jay Farrar and Son Volt a few times in the mid-2000’s, and this is one of those shows. A full set of Jat and (thee) Mark Spencer at Mississippi Nights. This show happened right at the time that it was announced that Son Volt was reforming and releasing a new album (which became Okemah and the Melody of Riot).

Dixie Witch- Sabala’s, Portland Or. 11/6/04 xfer from master videotape Stoner Rock Texas
Here is another cool video from Craig Babb- he filmed so many heavy stoner rock/doom bands in the very early days of the genre. This one is a 10min clip from a show in Portland in 1994 by Dixie Witch. Audio is slightly distorted but still listenable. This kicks ass.

Jello Biafra and the Melvins- Crystal Ballroom, Portland Or 11/5/04 xfer from master tape
it’s time for the Patreon Voter’s Choice for the week! That means that you get TWO videos today. You all need a palate cleanse anyway I bet.
I think I got this from someone I traded with in Spain- like, a real “mail the disc from Spain to here” type of deal. I can’t remember if he taped this show or traded for this, but it’s not too bad. Audio is a little thin but it is clear and not distorted. Nice live document of their collab.
Did they really play 3 and a half hours, or is there an issue with this disc?
