Nick Heyward- KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas, Universal Amp L.A. 12/11/93 DAT Master Haircut One Hundred

I wish I had some insight on this one, but I was listening to metal when Haircut One Hundred was big, and I never followed Nick afterwards. I hope fans of Nick & the band enjoy!

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.

General Public- KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas, Universal Amp L.A. 12/11/93 DAT Master Live

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.

This and the Belly sets are probably my favorite sets of the 1993 concerts. There is nothing acoustic about this show- it kicks ass! includes multiple xmas classics and the hear n aid hit “Don’t they know it’s Christmastime”. It’s a fun listen

Belly- KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas, Universal Amphitheater L.A. 12/11/93 Tanya Donnelly Acoustic Live

Here is the set that made me a Belly fan for life. The single being played on KROQ (Feed the Tree) didn’t do much for me so I didn’t buy the CD… but when I heard this set I snagged the CD and every release since. Such a great band. Tanya’s solo stuff is underrated as well.
They get away with cursing on air during this set- Tanya blurts out “shit” after a false start during Slow Dog.

Evan Dando- KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas, Universal Amp, L.A. 12/11/93 DAT Master xfer Lemonheads

Next up on the 93 Almost Acoustic Xmas show are the Lemonheads. Well, it is actually just Dando but it was billed as the Lemonheads. 93-95 was the height of Lemonheads mania, so you can hear a lot of beatles-like screaming fans in between songs. Great stuff!

John Fogerty- Walden Woods Benefit, Universal Amphitheater LA 4/1/92 DAT Aud Creedence Clearwater

In my opinion, there were 2 really nice things about living in L.A.– The food (I gained 30lbs while living there!) and the concerts. Living in Whittier, I was able to hit shows in San Diego, San Juan Capistrano, Hollywood, Santa Monica or L.A.– all within 2 hours drive. On the downside, the job, the culture, and the traffic sucked badly.
One of the nice concert perks were special shows like these- this was a benefit for Walden Woods which featured Fogerty (doing Creedence songs, which was a big rarity at the time), Roger Waters doing Pink Floyd material, and Neil Young doing stuff from Harvest Moon prior to its release, along with his more popular songs. Glenn Frey played too, but that’s when I went to the concession stand.
