Wow, this is really cool. I thought that I had posted this one but I couldn’t find it on YT. I really wish that I was able to stay up late every Sunday to tape ROTR, but I had a job. And a 1 hour commute. And a 1 year old.
1st 20min-plus is interview, then 2 acoustic songs like in studio… including Brian Wilson’s “Love and Mercy” performed by the band for the first time.

It’s the weekend! That means that you all get moving pictures with sound from me, rather than just audio only.
I am surprised that the full show isn’t on YT yet. There is a 20min clip up, but not the entire Japanese TV broadcast. Includes a 10min tour of NYC clubs (Knitting Factory, Pyramid etc) at the start along with an interview with TFC.
This is GREAT stuff- proshot full show of the band at their peak!

I think I mentioned a while ago about my disdain for the palace. Terrible acoustics and security was everywhere. It made it very difficult to videotape, and even getting a decent quality audio recording was challenging. I was such a big fan of Yo La Tengo(opener) and TFC that I asked my friend Todd Nakamine to come with me and “help” videotape the show. I can’t remember which of us snuck the camera in, but I tried filming the YLT set and failed miserably. Todd took the camera and at least hit the stage most of the time for TFC. The stock audio is TERRIBLE. If anyone (Jonathan, Erik, Jon?) has better audio to synch with this, please let me know!

I had originally planned to post the Thin White Rope part of the FM broadcast for today’s On This Date in History, but it sounded so bad that I didn’t want to subject anyone to it. There is a nice audience recording of the entire TWR set that I need to digitize one day.
This was on the tape after the TWR and sounds a bit better. I can’t tell if the last song (ballad of John and Yoko) is TFC perrforming the cover- it sure sounds similar, but setlist dot fm doesn’t show them playing it. In fact, out of the 85 sets documented over there, they don’t have record of anyone playing it.
So, if you understand dutch, please let me know what this guy is saying so I can clarify.
EDIT: Dutch guy tells us that this is from La Cigale, Paris France 11/4/93
PS: I should post wrong stuff more often. That Bazooka Joe post has gotten more comments than just about anything recently!

It’s time for another Patreon voter’s choice, and once again the patrons have great taste. This has to be the smallest venue that TFC has ever played, and at the time that they were poised to “break out”. They played SNL less than 2 months later! What a cool show to be at. This is why Jabberjaw was legendary.
It’s a bit dark in spots and the audio isn’t great but it is still enjoyable.
