Here is the other show I grabbed while looking for that Muffs soundboard. It sounds pretty decent for a coresound recording.

Luna- Bowery Ballroom, New York City 4/8/00 Soundboard CDR Clone Galaxie 500
Here is a pretty nice sounding Luna board recording for today’s On This Date in History. I got this back in the early days of CDR trading. CDR trading was good and bad in my opinion- it opened up live music trading and collecting to a lot more people- basically anyone with a PC- but it also had drawbacks. I received this one as a “CDR Clone” but the lineage of the recording is unclear. That lack of clarity was super common back then.
Many years ago, I made a Metallica trade with someone who got super pissed off at me and accused me of lying/cheating because he put a recording that someone told me was a low gen lossless source CDR through an analyzer and discovered it was mp3 sourced. I was like, I have no idea, just relaying what I was told.
Pretty good Luna set and the Bowery Ballroom is a big enough venue to enable a nice mix. Galaxie 500 song(s) as well.

Luna- Einstein a Go Go, Jacksonville Fl 1/26/96 xfer from DAT Clone complete show Dean Wareham
For today’s “On This Day in History”, I decided to pull a DAT that I got from my old friend Alton Purvis. He lived around Jacksonville Fl and would tape show at the Einstein a Go Go there all the time. I remember getting a Yo La Tengo show from this venue from him as well. The venue closed in 1997.
This one sounded pretty nice- bass heavy but not overpowering so I left it as is. The guitar was a bit buried so I izotope’d it and bumped it up a little. I like it better now.

Luna- The Roxy, Hollywood Ca 7/14/94 xfer from DAT Master Audio Nakamichi CM-300 Galaxie 500
Today was one of the busiest days I have had in months. I am finally getting the On This Date in History post out late.
This one has a story. I videotaped a few early Luna shows. Looks like 3 of them in 1992 and 2 in 1994. Well, it SHOULD have been 3 in 1994…
I get to the club with my video bag and let them know that I have permission from Luna to video the show. Guys at the door sneered at me, then proceed to tell me that they don’t care what the band says. You are not bringing that camera in. So I had to put my $900 (1992$) camera back in the car and hope it was there when I got back.
As a grand F*ck You to the bouncers, I snuck my DAT and a Nakamichi CM300 mic in anyway and audio taped the show. Because that was bullshit.
Recording sounds great, but there was no bass and very low vocals. I fixed it up in Izotope Rx8 so you can actually hear Dean and Justin.
Cuts in on the first song. I had some mic issues

Luna- Coach House, San Juan Capistrano Ca. 7/13/94 Direct transfer from Hi8 Master!
Well, I wish I had an interesting anecdote about this show, but all I recall is that Dean allowed me to shoot from the balcony which is reserved for bands, and that he was very gracious. Otherwise, I’ve got nothing. I am sure it was a good show, but coming off the casbah show the night before meant about 3 hours sleep for me, then this show. Enjoy! Filmed with Sony TR81 and stock mic. Check out the raging seated dinner theater crowd.

Luna- The Casbah, San Diego Ca. 7/12/94 xfer from hi8 master w/DAT Audio
My old Sony TR-81 was a great camcorder for its’ time- hi8 stereo recording and excellent low light capability.. but the stock microphone was horrible and would distort with any volume. I happened to record the Luna Casbah show with my DAT machine, and Derek Purtell has been kind enough to sync them together for me. Thanks also to Pete Markall for watching the DAT machine in the back, and being my go-to concert buddy in san diego!
