Son Volt- Slim's, San Francisco Ca 12/8/95 xfer from Master DAT Soundboard Rebalanced

OK, I lied yesterday. I have 2 more Slim’s posts. Here’s the first one.

My memory is fuzzy on this show. I can’t remember how I made it happen, but I did get permission to record this show through the board. I was almost always told “no” by SV. I think it was because Slim’s had a nice sound system.
One funny point about this show- SV’s notoriously grumpy (to me at least) soundman back then, Gary Scheppers, told me to squeeze behind him to plug into the board. He is a big guy, and I was deceptively big back then. We both got wedged in between the back wall of the booth and soundboard. flailing around trying to get unstuck. HAHA, it was funny. He moved to let me in after that.
I was plugged into the output of the cassette deck, which is why you hear the cut at 45min. It was for the tape flip.

Uncle Tupelo- Mississippi Nights, St. Louis Mo 5/1/94 xfer from master tape + matrix Audio!

This one has a story behind it. I burned all of my vacation in April, following Pavement around california and Arizona. I then get the call from Tony M- Jay decided to leave Uncle Tupelo, and they were playing 4 final shows. I booked my flight for the final 2 shows over the weekend. In fact, I went to the last show, then took a redeye home (no sleep) and went to work the next day. Crazy. Anyway, it was all worth it. The video turned out great as did my DAT soundboard. Audio matrixed (SBD + Michael Pemberton’s audience tape) by KN, and put all together by Jesse Hamm.

Uncle Tupelo- Mississippi Nights, St. Louis Mo 4/30/94 xfer from Hi8 Master w/Soundboard Audio!

Hi Everyone! I checked youtube, and I am really surprised that this full show was not posted yet. Usually any old, popular master of mine is posted by some random youtuber and they get 100k views. 🙂 So this was an interesting time. I had burned all of my vacation time following Pavement around the southwest in early 1994 and was not planning to see UT until they toured California again. Then my good friend Jim Utz calls me and tells me that rumors are flying about a breakup. I called Tony M (back when he was accessible) and he confirmed it. So I flew to see that last 2 shows. I flew in after work on Friday, saw the shows Sat/Sun night, then flew back 1st thing Monday morning to get to work that day. This show turned out great. Everyone was buying me drinks so I got super hammered but you can’t really tell in my camera work. Enjoy!

Uncle Tupelo- Slim's, San Francisco Ca. 11/11/93 Audio Only xfer from DAT Master Soundboard

I had 2 of my best concert experiences ever at Slim’s. One was the Donner Party video I posted the other day– so excited to see them, and knowing it was their one and only reunion show made it even more exciting.
The other one was this show. At this point, I had followed Uncle Tupelo for a week of shows through the midwest, for a run of shows in February of 2013 in california, and then this run in California. They would never let me plug into the soundboard. Luckily, Jake Roberts (early UT collector) secured permission ahead of time as part of a KZSU Stanford deal, so I was able to plug in as well.
The mix is excellent- no izotope required for this one. The soundman made a huge mistake and left the house music on during the first song of the set! I don’t think I ever saw that happen before or since.

The shower of UT archive shows continues! I am almost sure that this one is a 1st gen. I vaguely recall someone’s name and address being on the cassette J-card. Man, I should have taken pictures of the tapes.

Uncle Tupelo- Rhythm Cafe, Santa Ana Ca 2/27/93 Acoustic set DAT Master opening for Johnny Cash

Did I ever tell you about the time that I saw Uncle Tupelo play a 22 minute opening set for Johnny Cash? It was at this club called Rhythm Cafe in Santa Ana, which then became Galaxy Concert Theater and is now The Observatory.I was seated at a table with 3 other people. Luckily, the table was at the front of one of the levels that the club has, and I was in the front seat of the table.. so I could just put my mic on the wall, pointing at the stage. Sounds pretty damned good.
This was before Johnny Cash had released anything on American Recordings, so only the old die-hard fans from the early days were at the show. Still a good crowd, but they were a bit older (I think the average age was about 60) and they did not know what to think of UT’s aggressive style, even though UT were playing an acoustic set. Sounds like they won some people over.
PS: They started abruptly, so I hit record and it took me about 30 seconds to pull the mic out and set it up. So the 1st 30 seconds isn’t so great.

Uncle Tupelo- Bogart’s, Long Beach Ca. 2/25/93 xfer from Hi8 master Videotape enhanced Wilco Farrar

Haha, I have had this one on my desk for over a month because I thought I needed to synch DAT audio with the video. It turns out that I forgot my DAT rig that night. I remember now- I was too worried to turn around and get the gear, because I was afraid of missing the show. It turns out that I got there WAY too early and ended up waiting forever for the show to start. Oh well.
Ken Coomer breaks a snare drum during the set and it takes forever to get it replaced.
