Kevn Kinney, Peter Buck and Friends- 40 Watt Club, Athens Ga 1/9/92 DAT Master Clone R.E.M. Live
When I first got my DAT decks in 1991/1992, there were maybe 5 people I knew to trade DATs with- a guy in Bend, Or (Dick Bell) with all kinds of cool 60s stuff, a Neil Young DAT trader, the JEMS guys, and Chuck Erb. Chuck taped this one- he was based in Atlanta and he would get inside info about secret R.E.M. happenings. He taped the R.E.M. 40 Watt show from 1992 as well.
Kevn Kinney from Drivin and Cryin and Peter Buck from R.E.M. made an album together (Macdougal Blues) and toured the US for it in 1990. Here is a one-off local show with all kinds of guests.

Thanks to Scott Bradley for telling me what to do! You can also tell me what to do by heading over to Patreon- I will pop the link in comments. When Scott asked for this one, and it made me wonder why I hadn’t posted it yet. I remembered it as a pretty nice, clean recording. It was one of the first tapes done with my D6. I got the D6 less than 2 weeks before this show, so there were no issues that were inherent with the unit… yet.
Then I listened to it. Eek. It was SUPER tinny and had no low end. I was able to EQ it and make it sound decent, but those lawn seats did NOT sound good back in the 80s. My Shoreline tape from 2 nights later had the opposite problem- no high end.
Oh, and even though I am just starting to post after noon today, you get THREE posts today. Buckle up.
