Superchunk- Waterloo Records, Austin TX. 3/13/18 Canon HFG40 & Rode Video Pro Mic

So I did this crazy thing and went to sxsw with pretty much no notice an no place to stay. Thanks for Philip Garcia for helping me out with a place to stay!
So I got off the plane and went straight to Waterloo Records. I see a guy there that I know from postcard but have never met. So I awkwardly go “hey.. aren’t you Donny?”. It was great to meet Donny, Dave Dewey, and Jersey Joe from postcard… and I got to hang with DPB, the nicest guy ever. AND I saw Will Johnson for the first time in 10 years.. and he says “I know who you are, Shayne. We stayed at your place in Sacramento in 2003”. HOW does he remember stuff like that?
AND I got to meet Alex Livingstone, who didn’t think flying from California to see his band play was odd at all. Or he played it off well.
Anyway, it was great hanging out with everyone. And meeting quite a few of you guys.

Superchunk- Merge Fest, Cats Cradle, Carrboro NC 7/29/94 xfer f/2nd gen VHS tape Indie rock

Here’s another OLD VHS tape that hasn’t surfaced online as far as I can see. I think I got this from Michael Pemberton who got it from the filmer. I think I have all 10 sets over the 2 night festival on VHS tapes here, in similar quality to this.

It looks like Michael taped this on DAT as well so one day we can synch the better audio with this video.

Superchunk- Black Cat, Washington DC 2/28/98 xfer f/ DAT Soundboard Clone Indie Rock Elliott Smith

Today’s On This Day post is a good one. My old friend Marcus Winfree would tape a lot of the better indie rock bands through the soundboard when they came through town- he did multiple Archers of Loaf shows and more than one of Superchunk. I got to meet him unexpectedly when he and I were at the same Grand Champeen show in Austin a few years back. Huge thanks to him for documenting all of these shows.
There was no flyer/poster or even a newspaper ad for this show, so I took the setlist off setlist dot fm and they do an Unrest and an Elliott Smith cover! This was from a tour with Neutral Milk Hotel.
