There was a time when I was a huge Old 97s fan. I would see every one of their shows in California. This is the time that they played the UCD quad for FREE at lunch. It was hotter than hell, so I started my DAT machine plugged into the soundboard and went to video. I came back after the show and my poor DAT had heat stroke- the display was black and it stopped. What a bummer. At least the video turned out nice. Filmed with an Aiwa DV camera(don’t know model #) and stock microphone.
Here’s another one I taped for On This Date in History. Continuing on the Rosebuds post from a few days ago- I think the PMD430 was new to me, so I was out taping as many shows as I could with the new setup. Toad the Wet Sprocket was playing a free show at UC Davis as part of the Take Back the Night event, so a bunch of us friends went together- John Conley, I think Mike Yoas was there, Jason Ellis..
According to Davis Wiki: Take Back the Night is an annual event that aims to support survivors of sexual violence, raise awareness, and promote action within our community to end sexual and gender-based violence. This event is held to create a supportive space for survivors and allies in the community.
What’s really cool is that the band stops playing and you can hear people marching and chanting. I can’t remember where on the tape it is, but I remember it pretty well when I was there and you can hear it on the tape.
Someone from internet archive uploaded this as an unknown source, and lists the gear as the PMD430 and a Sony ECM-909 mic, which is probably correct. That means that the Rosebuds show was probably done with the Sony mic and not the Nak. I shoulda taken better notes, man (in my Tommy Chong voice).
Recorded by: Shayne Stacy Equipment used: Marantz PMD430 and Sony ECM909 mic Transfer with the Nakamichi Dragon and M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card no EQ or enhancements.
Since the setlist that Scott Torguson posted from this show seemed to get a big reaction from people, I decided to transfer the old tape. It does not sound great, but not terrible either. Recorded with a Montgomery Ward Boom Box with internal mics. Scott, I hope that it is ok to use your flyer image. Let me know if not.
