DI- El Dorado Saloon, Sacramento Ca. 9/2/87 xfer from master/1st gen Audio Tape D.I. Punk Live

This is an odd one in 2 ways. Even though D.I. opened for C.O.C., this is tacked onto the end of the tape AFTER COC… which means that “Anonymous” might have copied his master to the COC tape, making this a 1st gen. hmmm…
Also, D.I. is in the rarest of forms here. When they played El Dorado Saloon back in January of 1987, the crowd LOVED them and they played an amazing set. Here we are 8 months later and they get into shouting matches with the crowd. Odd. Casey is usually funny and affable as a frontman… must have been an off night.

D.I.- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca. 8/30/87 xfer from low gen soundboard tape Rebalanced DI Casey Royer

Here’s one from Wayne Vanderkuil’s collection. Actually, it seemed like we(bay area tape traders) all traded for this tape, but it isn’t clear who has the master. Wayne’s tape is on the best quality tape out of the bunch (TDK SA-X90) and has the least hiss, so we’ll go with this.
This is pretty good for an early Gilman mix, but the mix does fluctuate throughout. There is no snare for most of the show, so I pushed that up. Vocals were buried for a stretch, so up those went as well. Sounds ok I guess.
And, check out that calendar- D.I. wasn’t initially booked for this date. Must have been a late add since they were playing Sacramento around the same time.
