Son Volt- Mound City Music Fest All Star Jam Mississippi Nights, St. Louis Mo 12/11/04 DV Master-DVD

Today’s On this Date in History is a pretty cool one. My old friend Chris Constance (R.I.P.) knew the guys in Uncle Tupelo since the OLD days, back when Jay and Jeff were in the Primatives. For a stretch in 2004/5, Chris had some great access to film the band. This is one of the videos he did. He also did the main set but I cannot find the DVD of that one. If anyone has the main set, please rech out- I would appreciate it!

According to Chris post of a portion of this, this was Son Volt + Bottle Rockets + Anders Parker + Richard Buckner for the all-star jam. Not sure if they or others came in and out. Pretty damn cool.

Richard Buckner- Melarkeys, Sacramento Ca 6/21/97 xfer f/DAT Master Soundboard Alt Country Americana

Here’s a show that I taped back in 1997 for today’s On This Date in History. Richard Buckner had a bit of popularity back then- this show took place in between his major label releases Devotion and Doubt, and Since. He continued to release music on a number of indie labels until 2013. He released a book in 2020 as well.
I remember that the show was seated (which was rare for the Melarkeys shows I attended) and somewhat sparsely attended. Still a nice quality show during a well-regarded era.
Levels bounce around a bit to start, then a couple times later on. I did my best to even them out.

Equipment used: Sony DAT recorder through the soundboard. Probably a TCD-D7.
Transfer equipment: Sony PCM-R500 amd M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card
