Tanya Donelly- JJJ Full Band Live in Studio, JJJ, Melbourne Austrialia 2/3/98 from analog master

The best thing about the “on this day” project is rediscovering old recordings that I probably listened to once and put away. This one is really great. When I pulled out the CDR to prep for posting today, I was expecting Tanya solo, live in studio. Nope- this is the full band that she had at the time, shortly after the release of “Lovesongs for Underdogs”.
I got this recording from the person who taped it off the radio, and they burned it to CDR for me. I can’t remember who that is. I think this was post- David Paterson’s time there. Speak up if you sent this to me so I can give proper credit.

Dread Zeppelin- Triple J FM Interview, Australia w/ Tortelvis 1/16/92 xfer from 1st gen cassette-DAT

I had some options for today’s “on this day” post. The first Gilman show I ever video taped (RKL) was today in 1988, using a borrowed camera. Thanks to Barry Ward, I now have a 2nd angle of that show and a soundboard tape that may not be salvageable. Hopefully I can put those all together one day, but that is a multi-day project.
I decided on this. I videotaped DZ at Sac State in 1990 and posted it on YT years ago. I recently saw a huge uptick of views and comments and wondered what the hell was going on. Turns out there is a new Dread Zeppelin documentary called “A Song of Hope” that is bringing new fans out. That’s cool.
A bunch of folks sent hate mail/hate comments because I called them a gimmick band. Sorry, but I usually enjoy bands like this for a short while and then I am done with them. Same with GWAR- it’s on me, not you. It’s fun and funny for a bit then it wears thin. They are a great, talented and super entertaining band.

Hard-Ons: Triple J live in studio, Melbourne Australia 3/6/89 xfer f/2nd Gen audio cassette JJJ Punk

Today’s “On This Day in History” is late due to 2 things. First, I got a Flu,Pneumonia and Shingles vaccine yesterday and it kicked my ass. Like, waking up with fever in the middle of the night ass kicking. So I was worthless this morning. Actually, I am still worthless. I am going to blow off the 3 shows I wanted to see tonight and sleep.
Also, I can’t find the disc of the thing I was going to post today, so I had to resort to plan B. Then plan B didn’t work out(already online) so I am doing this one. I think a lot of folks will like this better anyway.
I think this is when the Hard-Ons were at the top of their game. I really loved Keish’s vocals and the pop punk side of the band, and this checks all the boxes. Great quality, performance, and song selection.
I guess that Australian radio doesn’t have an FCC equivalent- some of the discussion content is pretty wild.
