Here’s another Lollapalooza video that Steve filmed back in ’96. It looks like he focused on his label’s acts for the Irvine show.

I was going to share a Brent Best soundboard tape in honor of his birthday tomorrow, but It is in a spot I can’t access. Can’t wait to get this cast off my arm.
Instead, here is a mediocre recording I did from the last show I attended at Irvine Meadows. I remember that the opener (Toad the wet Sprocket) sounded way better- but I don’t see that recording on my list. Where did it go? Why did I even go see this show? I was not a huge fan and irvine was not close to home (Whittier). What does “1lt flt may cause postponement” on the ticket stub? So many questions.
I did my best to EQ this thing but it is still pretty bassy and muddy sounding. The curse of coresound mics in a big venue.

I’m a little late with today’s on this date in history- it is my daughter’s first day of high school! Pretty exciting. I had to digitize this one as I didn’t have anything prepared.
Even though this isn’t as exciting as the 2nd stage set that I posted a year or 2 back, this is still a solid set. Surprised they got 50 minutes, but they were billed pretty high. I recalled this one not sounding great but it is a lot better than I remembered.

Back to the Lollapalooza 95 DAT master recordings. Here is the Beck set- he played early in the day- right after Jesus Lizard. This was in between the Mellow Gold (1994) and Odelay (1996) releases, but he does material from the upcoming Odelay album. Pretty cool. People got a little chatty around me during this one.

I know a lot of my friends went to the Lolla show in Sacramento, but I was living in Whittier at the time so I went to Irvine. The one upside of going to Irvine was Pavement- they played a “deep cuts” set on the second stage after playing a set on the main stage earlier in the day. It was awesome and totally worth hanging at the second stage for a good part of the day.
Anyway, here is Jesus Lizard’s opening set. I think they opened, it was the first band I taped that day.

I wasn’t planning on posting this one today, but a few people asked me for it and it happened to be on the audio PC’s hard drive, already transferred from DAT. Awesome set- Opens with you’re killing me, includes Maybe Maybe, Box Elder, Forklift and a bunch of stuff off of Slanted and Enchanted. At the time, I thought it was the best show ever.

Here’s the last Lollapalooza 95 show on this DAT. I taped more but they were all 2nd stage after this, I think. Anyway, this one is a little bassy, as most coresound recordings are.
