Superchunk- Merge Fest, Cats Cradle, Carrboro NC 7/29/94 xfer f/2nd gen VHS tape Indie rock

Here’s another OLD VHS tape that hasn’t surfaced online as far as I can see. I think I got this from Michael Pemberton who got it from the filmer. I think I have all 10 sets over the 2 night festival on VHS tapes here, in similar quality to this.

It looks like Michael taped this on DAT as well so one day we can synch the better audio with this video.

Geraldine Fibbers- Cat’s Cradle, Chapel Hill NC 4/18/96 Soundboard/Audience mix DAT Master Full Show

I pulled this CDR out for today’s On This Date in history. I am almost certain that Michael Pemberton recorded this, but a) he never matrixed sbd and aud recordings together to my knowledge and b) he knows how to spell “Fibbers”… so I don’t know where I got this but michael mastered at least 1 source. Anyway, the guitar and vocals were pretty low in the mix so I rebalanced it a bit. This is from the run of shows they did opening for Golden Smog.

Uncle Tupelo- Cat’s Cradle, Chapel Hill NC 4/17/91 xfer f/2nd gen soundboard tape open for Cracker

Here’s a late “on this date in history” post for you today. I was trying to figure out where I got this tape from- I thought it might be from the guy who came to my place in 1991 to get some tapes for their Camper van Beethoven book, and a search in newspapers dot com confirms it. Uncle Tupelo opened for the David Lowery band for this show. DLB was Cracker before they had a name. This comes from a copy off his tape, which was copied from the master. Great early set.

Recorded by: ? (I think someone mentioned taping this show in an earlier post- please speak up!)
