Tracks 1 – 9: KDHX St. Louis, December 19, 1989

This is one of a few full-band radio broadcast performances I know of that were performed specifically for broadcast and not just re-broadcast of concert performances. The mix is high on drums and vocals (like most small club soundboards) but it’s a very energetic recording nonetheless. And very, very early. Dear 23 was a few months away from release at that point. The tape was sourced from a former Seattle bandmate who had just moved from the St. Louis area. His tape was a copy of a St. Louis bandmate’s tape that was sourced from the original broadcast. That said, there’s noticeable wow and flutter at times. It’s a historic recording so I try to look past that sort of thing.

Tracks 10 – 18: Whisky a Go Go, Los Angeles, August 16, 1993

This is a nice professional multi-track recording from the Whisky for an L.A. radio station. My source is pre-FM from a clone of the master disc used for on-air use. Since it was set- up for DJ upcuts I had to edit the disc. That sounds more drastic than it really is. I only had to create track marks where none existed. Anyhow, this is about as good as it gets sound-wise. Performance though I think is kinda rough. I’ve heard better performances from that tour.

10. Definite Door

11. Solar Sister

12. Golden Blunders

13. Love Letter Boxes

14. Burn and Shine

15. When Mute Tongues Can Speak
