With the news of Freeborn Hall getting torn down, I thought I would digitize this old audio recording. Between the non-professional equipment used + the volume + the acoustics of freeborn, this sounds like ass but what a great set. Early 1986 is definitely my favorite 7 seconds era- right after Walk Together and about the time of the DC Sessions from New Wind.
Opening for (the real) Dead Kennedys last show
Recorded by: Mark Martin
Equipment used: Consumer Panasonic Recorder
Joshua- Freeborn Hall, UC Davis Ca 3/14/70 transfer from band archive tape:
I’m late with the bi-weekly Mick Martin Memorial series of posts! Well, it’s still Tuesday so I am ok.
At this point, I think anyone following this page/channel knows that I get REAL excited with old archival live performances that predate my taping. A live show from Freeborn Hall in 1970?? That’s gotta be the earliest document from that venue. Amazing. It took a lot of discipline for me to not post this one right away when I started the Mick memorial, but the quality on this one, while great for 1970, is not perfect. I tried rebalancing it and no workie- it made the highs super harsh.
