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.

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.

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 🙂

On with the Lollapalooza 94 posts…
Here is another band that I was pumped to see at the show. This was the only time I ever saw Stereolab. It was good, but they seem best suited to be performing in the clubs with a light show to accompany the drone. They played in the middle of the afternoon here. Another “clear but thin” second stage recording.

Memory is a strange thing- I have a memory of watching the Green Day and 2nd stage sets pretty vividly and I remember being bored with Smashing Pumpkins, but I do not recall seeing the Breeders at all. I know that doesn’t sound like a nice endorsement of their set, but the performance is good and it sounds fine. Don’t know why I can’t recall a thing. It was my first ( and only) time seeing them and I was a casual fan. Hm. Cuts in during the set, so we must have just come from the 2nd stage or something.
