Tracks 1 – 3: Radio Paris, November 4, 1993

Another acoustic Jon and Ken performance. Something you’ll note is missing is “Burn and Shine” which appeared on the band’s boxed set released in 2000. Something else you will notice is that the pitch has been corrected on these three tracks. Jon wouldn’t allow me to fix the pitch on “Burn and Shine” for the box. It’s kinda funny the first time but sped- up tape just gets on my nerves so…I fixed it. My copy from a tape copy of a cassette recording of the original broadcast. I don’t know at which point the tape speed screwed up.

1. Any Other way

2. Flavor of the Month

3. Earlier Than Expected

Track 4: “The Word,” U.K. TV 1994

The band play live television with their latest British single but are unable to play the whole song due to time restraints, so that’s why the band just kinda blow up in the last verse of the song. And dig on the announcer getting the song title wrong! My copy is a digital dub from a VHS copy of the original broadcast.

4. Distant Door

Tracks 5 – 19: Lee’s Palace, Toronto, april 19, 1995

Excerpts of this show were broadcast on Canadian rock radio. My copy is from a cassette dub of the original broadcast and sounds much better than I remembered it. The bass guitar is pretty high in the mix but it’s still quite enjoyable. Track 19 is sourced from a different recording of the radio show, capturing the last song of the broadcast. There’s a significant difference in mix. Must’ve been recorded off a different station’s broadcast. Some stations use different compressions and such in their signal chain before broadcast. It sounds like this station used something with a shitload of mids. Anyhow, this is a great show highlighting material from Amazing Disgrace, still a year away from release at that point.

5. Definite Door

6. Solar Sister

7. Dream All Day

8. Love Letter Boxes

9. Flavor of the Month

10. When Mute Tongues Can Speak

11. Fight It

12. Grant Hart

13. Throwaway

14. Any Other Way

15. Lights Out

16. Please Return It

17. Burn and Shine

18. Hate Song

19. How She Lied By Living

Tracks 20 – 21: DeBeurs Radio, Amsterdam, June 1998

The band plays an acoustic full-band session. My recording is a copy of a cassette copy. You know the drill by now. It sounds like either the session was slightly overmodulated or someone’s cassette player was in the red so you’ve got some tape distortion. Not too bad but noticeable.

20. Friendship of the Future

21. Start a Life
