Forever Goldrush- Starry Plough, Berkeley Ca 11/5/00 xfer from DAT Soundboard Master

If you haven’t heard, Sacramento’s best Americana/Alt.country band is BACK after a long hiatus! I have been trying to get out and see them but it hasn’t worked out yet. We have TWO chances to see them perform this Saturday 4/30: In the afternoon at the Sac Natural Foods Co-op and at Old Ironsides that night. So happy they are back.
Here is a set from 21+ years ago, opening for Slobberbone at the Berkeley institution Starry Plough. Charles Twilling was mixing sound that night and he did an amazing job- this is the raw soundboard. I didn’t need to do a thing to it.
