Evan Dando- KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas, Universal Amp, L.A. 12/11/93 DAT Master xfer Lemonheads

Next up on the 93 Almost Acoustic Xmas show are the Lemonheads. Well, it is actually just Dando but it was billed as the Lemonheads. 93-95 was the height of Lemonheads mania, so you can hear a lot of beatles-like screaming fans in between songs. Great stuff!

Over the next few weeks (weekdays), I will be posting sets from the 1993 Almost Acoustic Xmas. On the night of Dec 11th, I was driving to grab dinner for the family and I turn on KROQ and I hear that they were broadcasting the entire show live on the radio! I listened to KROQ regularly back then and did not recall any advertising for the broadcast. I hauled ass back home and grabbed a DAT and started recording. I was broke back then, so I have these sets scattered over about 5 DATs. I think I only lost a couple minutes of one set due to tape change- General Public. I even was able to edit in the interviews from other sections of the tape. The Blind Melon interview is a sad foreshadow of their future.
Anyway, hope you enjoy these. I became a fan of at least a few of these bands through this broadcast.

Evan Dando- Leadmill, Sheffield England 1/19/93 Int and Acoustic Set xfer f/1st gen tape Lemonheads

Man, I just woke up. I never sleep this late so I hope this post makes sense. On this day in history, I picked this really good Evan Dando performance. Most folks know that his performances can be spotty, but this was a great one at a really great time as the Lemonheads were starting to get noticed by the “alternative” mainstream. Seems like this was broadcast on one of those huge commercial rock stations in England.
