Jimmie Dale Gilmore- Palms, Davis Ca 5/13/98 DAT Master xfer Coresound Mics

Someone asked for something at the end of this tape, so you get this show as well. Man, I loved the old Palms. It had an atmosphere that will never be matched. It was a real treat when some of the old-school troubadours came through town. I believed that the venue really brought the best out in these performances.
With that said, my coresound mics were at the end of their rope by this time. There was a short in one of the wires (they were eyeglass mounted mics at the end of a wire) which would emit a high pitched whine in one channel of a few later recordings. This one was just screaming in one channel and I could not process it out… so you get 1 channel duplicated into the left and right channels. If someone out there wants to attempt to fix this thing, let me know.

Movie Stars- Palms, Davis Ca 1/24/91 xfer f/ master cassette Marantz PMD430 Nak CM300 x2 Red Meat

Here’s another post, mourning the Palms’ closure. Actually, I wouldn’t call it mourning. It is more like when you get a call and your great aunt who you were close to but had not seen in 20 years passed away… I absolutely loved the Davis location, but the Winters spot didn’t do it for me. Still, sad to see it go.

Besides the incredible fairport convention soundboard recordings (thanks again Lawrence), this is the best recording I ever made there. In fact, it is probably my best audio recording of The Movie Stars… ever. Their first (only?) time at The Palms, and they played 2 sets that night, so they pulled out songs that they rarely played.
