Hey, remember when !!! played KDVS’ Studio A? Yeah, me neither but thanks to Ken Doose and his awesome collection of tapes, we can all hear it!
!!! were formed in 1996 in Sacramento, California, by members of The Yah Mos, following the demise of that band. There is no date on the tape, but I think this is from 1998 or 1999 because the band asks the DJ to play something from Fugazi’s End Hits album, which was released in 1998.

Here is Eddie’s radio show from KDVS- his Blackfish show’s format was theme-based. This one was a metal theme, but he also did reggae/world, Pink Floyd, etc themes. I bet that would drive a programmer nuts! Haha.

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).

Joshua- Freeborn Hall, UC Davis Ca 3/14/70 transfer from band archive tape:
I’m late with the bi-weekly Mick Martin Memorial series of posts! Well, it’s still Tuesday so I am ok.
At this point, I think anyone following this page/channel knows that I get REAL excited with old archival live performances that predate my taping. A live show from Freeborn Hall in 1970?? That’s gotta be the earliest document from that venue. Amazing. It took a lot of discipline for me to not post this one right away when I started the Mick memorial, but the quality on this one, while great for 1970, is not perfect. I tried rebalancing it and no workie- it made the highs super harsh.
