Here is the first of 3 posts today. Facebook folks get a bonus 4th one as well.
For today’s On This Date in History, let’s dive back into the Uncle Tupelo archives. This was one of the many tapes we got from Tony and Bob back in 1994, but then a better quality version popped up.
Michael from factory belt has the details:

“FM broadcast and pre-FM studio tape, from the late Doug Morris’ KDHX radio show “High Anxiety.” The only known recorded performance of the “The Dust Bowl Club” (Brian Henneman, Jay Farrar, and Tom Parr). A number of songs played are from a demo tape that Brian recorded with members of UT during the recording of Still Feel Gone. For quite some time, the only known tape of this show was recorded off the radio, with all of the between-song conversation edited out. More recently, Doug Morris’ pre-fm cassette of the show surfaced, though unfortunately Doug recorded over the last 30 minutes of his tape, meaning that the last 5 songs only exist from the FM tape.”

So, there are 2 versions. This better quality one and the one from the band’s archive that is more complete. I believe this one has both versions put together.
