The Posies- OK Hotel, Seattle Wa 1/6/91 xfer f/2nd gen audio cassette complete

Man, this was a tough day to find something for On This Date in History. I digitized a pristine Willie Nelson BBC session off DAT only to discover that it took place on 6/1. Damned european date formats!

Back in 1991, the posies were incredible. I got to see them in Sacramento 3 months after this and they blew us all away. They were LOUD for the type of music they played. Maybe that’s why this tape had very little guitar- I think the taper “stack taped” the set, so they got mostly what was being run through the soundboard. That resulted in a lot of drums and vocals with this one. I did my best to fix it up in Izotope, but any more guitar boost added harsh high end annoyances.

An 85 minute set (w/killer covers) in 1991 is a real treat.
