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.

Recorded by: Michael Pemberton
Matrix by: Michael Pemberton
CD Rip and rebalance by: Shayne Stacy

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!)

Uncle Tupelo- Cat’s Cradle, Chapel Hill NC 11/90 audio only xfer from band archive soundboard

I recall that this tape was cut up across 3 different, completely blank cassettes- no label, no side A/B, etc… so it was really hard to tell what part of the set went where. After doing some forensics with the help of factorybelt.net (comparing to setlists in that time frame), I think I got it.
