Old 97s- Alice’s Now & Zen Fest, Sharon Meadow, Golden Gate Park, SF 9/26/99 DAT Sbd Master xfer

This was a crazy day. I left Sac early, met up with my friend Kirk and headed to GGP to see the Old 97s open(?) this show. Kirk taped from the audience and I gave a DAT to the soundman so he could run a board tape. Since this was a “big” show, I could not hang out in the soundbooth and watch my levels. When I checked the tape later, the levels were set way too high. I was able to work with it and rebalance and salvage it. The mix settles down at about 4min into the set, and the funky high end swirling sound never goes away- I think it was windy that day.
Then that night, we went to see the Ranchero Brothers and the 97s play a secret show at the Stork Club, where they played so many deep cuts. Best day ever.

Crash and Britany- Polo Field, Golden gate Park San Francisco 6/24/95 xfer f/DAT Sacramento Rock emo

You get 1 video and 2 audio posts today, so I had better get started. This is from Anonymous 2’s collection. Crash and Britany were a 90s indie/emo band from Sacramento with Huy Ngo, Kelly Slusher, and Mike Thiemann. This was probably the biggest show they ever played- they snagged the opening slot for the Pearl Jam/Neil Young show at Golden Gate Park.

It is an audience tape and it sounds pretty decent. I wonder who Anon 2 got this from- I don’t think he taped with DAT and it sounds like a coresound or similar type of taping setup. Hmmm.
