Alright, so I promised some soft sounds and a choose your own adventure today.. and then the day got away from me. Sorry about that. Instead here is a full spoken word set from Rollins, circa 1990, right off of Anonymous 1’s master tape. I recently discovered that Rollins released a Live at McCabes CD based upon these performances, but he used parts of all 3 sets from June 9 and June 10 (early, late). This is the complete final set from the weekend.

I was looking for a “post of the day” thing last night and had planned to digitize a DAT, but then I started running late so I looked for something quick… I had already digitized this tape from Anonymous’ collection, so it’s a combo collections/On This Date post today! Don’t worry, you’ll still get a 2nd post, but I’m glad this one was done and almost ready.

Neither Anonymous nor I knew that Rollins released a CD which compiled parts of the 6/9 and 6/10 shows for a CD called “Live at McCabes” until earlier this year. This is Anonymous’ D6 recording of the complete first night’s set. I kept it pretty much as it was recorded- I boosted up a quiet one toward the end, and I pushed the volume up due to the dynamic nature of these performances.
