Elsah- Spanish Moon, Baton Rouge La 4/14/04 xfer from Hi8 Master Tape Enhanced Americana

Here’s another Neil Werries creation- a 2+ hour show from the Spanish Moon in Baton Rouge. They must have had a pretty good following to headline that size venue- touring acts such as Redd Kross w/ The Melvins have played there.
The date on the tape said 4/14. I am not sure if that meant April of 2014, or April 14 of an unidentified year.
The denoise cleaned this one up really well.

Ah, Neil provided some more info about this show:
2004 best I can figure. One of the first shows after relocating to Louisiana.
Paul Johnson – Guitar
Damen Williams – Bass
Brian Debate – Drums

Anna Byars Band plays from 1:18:17

Poor Harvey- Spanish Moon, Baton Rouge La early to mid-2000s xfer f/ hi8 master

This is the 2nd to last one from Neil Werries collection, unless I can get some help with time alignment on his multi camera sources- great bands like Old 97s, Jayhawks and more! Reach out if you can help- volunteering at the nonprofit gives you a tax donation receipt worth about $40/hr.

Alright, on to this one. Poor Harvey were peers of Neil’s band Elsah. It doesn’t look like they have anything listed on Discogs, but there is a soundcloud site that appears to be them. Poor Harvey is comprised of drummer Dan “Danimal” Thompson and brothers Patrick Johnson (bass and vocals) and Paul Johnson (guitar and vocals).

This show was super dark (as was the Elsah opening set, and then someone turned the lights on. So you will see this switch early in the set- I had to push the brightness and exposure early on, then pull back.

Elsah- Spanish Moon, Baton Rouge La 4/7/04 xfer from Hi8 master Alt Country enhanced

Another late one- this video collections post is from Neil Werries’ collection, and it is the LAST non-multicamera video I have of his. I received an email with an offer for video help. I need help with the time alignment of his other angles, so let’s hope that works out. I would love to get the rest of Neil videos done.

This one was really dark. I did my best to brighten it and clean it up, but it is DARK. At least it sounds decent. These “0474” was on Neil’s tape, but it definitely doesn’t mean April of 1974…
