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.

Here’s another amazing gift from Steve Rogers. As I mentioned in earlier posts, Steve worked for American Recordings, which meant he got a level of access that most of us would love to get. In this one, Steve recorded a good amount of Long Fin Kille’s set, then some clips of the Ramones and DEVO. Sweet.

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.

Hey everyone. I am not going to give any hot takes about last night, but I am here for anyone who needs help or support. Please reach out if you need someone to talk to or someone who can help connect you with resources. We will persevere with love, empathy and community. I love the groups that I am part of- the sac music scene, sac music archive friends, commenters and helpers, and so many more. None of the sense of community changes- in fact, it would be good to amplify it a bit now. Time to make sure we are here for each other.
Back to regular programming- Here’s a short but funny interview from Arica Pelino’s suitcase of tapes. Nothing like talking about smokin’ cr*ck on the radio.

TLDR version: Forward to 3 minutes if you want to hear how it really sounds.
People were asking for more posts from this show, so I guess I’ll keep it rolling. After the Green Day set, we headed over to the 2nd stage for 2 bands- this was the first. I think I was more excited about the 2nd stage bands than the main stage ones- I was a huge Shonen Knife fan at this point and had never seen them.
As you can tell, the sound quality on the 2nd stage was different. Smaller area/smaller PA so the audio much clearer but not much low end. This one is muffled for the first 3 minutes or so since they started right when we got over there and my mic was buried under the flannel. After the set, I headed over to the TAANG! records tent and got my DAT case signed by the band. Cool 🙂
