Pavement- The Roxy, Phoenix Az 4/20/94 xfer from DAT Master Soundboard Rebalanced Complete Set Live

In 1994, I was lucky enough to tape 8 Pavement shows through the soundboard with my DAT recorder. Huge thanks to Scott and Remko for making it happen. This was the first show I did in a 5 show run in April of 1994. I drove from L.A. over to Phoenix on Wednesday, then Hollywood the next night, then 3 sets in San Francisco over the weekend.
Then I flew to the Midwest the next weekend to film Uncle Tupelo’s last shows ever. I would say that was a pretty productive 2 weeks.

Anyway, this one was the weakest mix of the 1994 shows. It starts off with the guitar too low in the mix, then you hear the guitar zooming in and out of the mix for a bit from 6-12 minute mark. By the 15 minute mark, it stabilizes. My rebalance is focused on the set from 15 minutes on- there are short parts where the guitar or bass is WAY too loud before that. FYI.

Recorded by: Shayne Stacy
Equipment used: Sony TCD-D3 into soundboard
Transfer equipment: Sony PCM-R500 and M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card
Rebalance in Izotope RX8: Bass +1, Guitar +5.

Green Day- Silver Dollar Club, Phoenix Az 9/4/91 xfer from 1st gen VHS tape lookout records punk

Well apparently today is the 33rd anniversary of Kerplunk’s release. Our pals at Green Day Brasil (instagram) asked for something close to the release date to commemorate this occasion, so I found this tape in Arica’s suitcase. From the look of the actual tape, it didn’t look like one that Arica filmed… but it still looks very good. I’m estimating a 1st gen VHS- I bet that Arica will confirm or correct me when she checks in from her world travels.

This means that Tour Doug Tuesday returns next week- sorry metalheads

I checked on youtube and elsewhere and this does not seem to be out there. According to GD Brasil, this is the earliest documented recording of Dominated Love Slave.

Feedbags- Mason Jar, Phoenix Az 5/18/88 xfer from Master VHS Tape Enhanced

Wow, what a day. Work into dinner for the kids into Kings game and now home. This may be the latest daily post ever, but I made it before midnight!
Here is the last 1980s video from Laura Levy’s collection of master tapes. Feedbags were also a local Phoenix band with the following members: Jim Swafford, Dave Swafford, Rick Purcell, Gary Martin
Suffers the same audio fate as the Gin Blossoms and Glue from the same show, I still need to get schooled by Seneca on this “de-distort the audio” stuff.

Recorded by: Laura Levy & Dan (the soon to be Blossoms next drummer!)

Gin Blossoms- Mason Jar, Phoenix Az. 5/18/88 Xfer from Master VHS Tape Enhanced Doug Hopkins

Here is another amazing gift from Laura Levy. She let me borrow a couple of tapes when I was up in Seattle back in August. Thanks again, Laura! The Gin Blossoms played a local showcase at The Mason Jar with a couple other band- those will be posted soon.
Unfortunately, the video suffers from distorted audio. Maybe Seneca St. James can tutor me on his anti-distortion skillz in Izotope Rx8. When I try to use Spectral Repair, it just sounds weird… and we still have that Muffs soundboard that could be saved as well.

From Laura:
Gin Blossoms:
Doug Hopkins, Bill Leen, Jesse Venezuela, Chris McCann, Robin Wilson
