Belly- KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas, Universal Amp L.A. 12/12/93 DAT Master xfer Live Tanya Donelly

Man, YT was having some issues today. I could not get to my drafts, I was getting worried for a minute. Here is the second night of Belly at acoustic xmas- no false starts or cursing on this one. FYI, I think they run the same interview as on night one.

Over the next few weeks (weekdays), I will be posting sets from the 1993 Almost Acoustic Xmas. On the night of Dec 11th, I was driving to grab dinner for the family and I turn on KROQ and I hear that they were broadcasting the entire show live on the radio! I listened to KROQ regularly back then and did not recall any advertising for the broadcast. I hauled ass back home and grabbed a DAT and started recording. I was broke back then, so I have these sets scattered over about 5 DATs. I think I only lost a couple minutes of one set due to tape change- General Public. I even was able to edit in the interviews from other sections of the tape. The Blind Melon interview is a sad foreshadow of their future.
Anyway, hope you enjoy these. I became a fan of at least a few of these bands through this broadcast.

US3- KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas, Universal Amp L.A. 12/11/93 DAT Master Live Alternative Jazz Hip Hop

We are halfway done with the 1993 KROQ Acoustic Xmas sets- the first band to perform on 12/12 was US3. I didn’t know much about them then and did not follow their career but it looks like they were on Blue Note at the time of this show through 1996, and then self-released a bunch of stuff until 2013. Pretty cool that they kept it going.

Cracker- KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas, Universal Amp L.A. 12/12/93 DAT Master xfer Live Grateful Dead

It’s Monday, so back to audio for you all. Cracker were alternative radio darlings for a minute in the early 90s, so they played some of these radio gigs. They come out and play both of their singles right off the bat- Teen Angst and Low. They close the set with a cover of the Grateful Dead’s “Loser”, which they played often back then but this is probably the best quality recording/performance I have heard of that one. No Camper songs. I think they blew past their time limit- nobody played this long until he headliners, and all of the subsequent sets seemed to be shortened when compared to the night before.

Cowboy Junkies- KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas, Universal Amphitheater L.A. 12/11/93 xfer from DAT Master

KROQ lost the signal on this one from 1:30-4:00 in. They talk about it later in the broadcast- apparently they were in the mobile truck and someone used the car lighter and it blew a fuse… and the broadcast. Not sure if that was meant as a joke, but they were talking about how shaky the entire thing was.
