Primus- KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas, Universal Amp L.A. 12/12/93 DAT Master Live Bob Cock Yellow Sock

I’m listening to this again and trying to figure out what the hell is going on– it looks like Primus took the stage as Bob Cock and the Yellow Sock.. and it sounds like they at least tried to play acoustic. I read that this incarnation of the band plays lounge versions of Primus songs. Interesting.

Over the next few weeks (weekdays), I will be posting sets from the 1993 Almost Acoustic Xmas. On the night of Dec 11th, I was driving to grab dinner for the family and I turn on KROQ and I hear that they were broadcasting the entire show live on the radio! I listened to KROQ regularly back then and did not recall any advertising for the broadcast. I hauled ass back home and grabbed a DAT and started recording. I was broke back then, so I have these sets scattered over about 5 DATs. I think I only lost a couple minutes of one set due to tape change- General Public. I even was able to edit in the interviews from other sections of the tape. The Blind Melon interview is a sad foreshadow of their future.
Anyway, hope you enjoy these. I became a fan of at least a few of these bands through this broadcast.

Man, YT was having some issues today. I could not get to my drafts, I was getting worried for a minute. Here is the second night of Belly at acoustic xmas- no false starts or cursing on this one. FYI, I think they run the same interview as on night one.

Rage Against the Machine- KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas, Universal Amp L.A. 12/12/93 DAT Master Live

Happy Friday! I know what you are thinking- it’s Friday, and I really want to hear something different. Well, here you go. Either RATM thought it was a good idea to play acoustic/with no distortion, or KROQ screwed up the mix… or Tom Morello forgot his distortion pedals. Regardless, this seems like a pretty unique set. Enjoy. Youtube’s copyright algorithm didn’t even pick this up as RATM! Haha. They get away with an uncensored “bullsh*t” at 5:30.

OK, back to the KROQ Acoustic Xmas stuff. Here is General Public’s headlining set. There is a cut of about a minute in this one as I was scrambling to find space on another DAT to record the rest of the show. They played longer than I expected.

Cowboy Junkies- KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas, Universal Amphitheater L.A. 12/11/93 xfer from DAT Master

KROQ lost the signal on this one from 1:30-4:00 in. They talk about it later in the broadcast- apparently they were in the mobile truck and someone used the car lighter and it blew a fuse… and the broadcast. Not sure if that was meant as a joke, but they were talking about how shaky the entire thing was.
