  • I have been wanting to put all of these sources together for a long time, and thanks to @copperpot5 we finally got it done! This is the final, most comprehensive document of the show. Here is what we did:
    Took my shaky, handheld angle from the sound booth and brightened/deshake'd it
    Added a 2nd angle that I received in trade back in 2009 and edited that in to make this a multicam for the 1st 40min or so
    Used a different audio source- Sony D6 recording with Sony ECM909 mic (xfer from master tape, recorded by "anonymous"), which was then GREATLY enhanced by @copperpot65. I can't believe how good it sounds!
    so, while it isn't perfect due to dark/grainy etc source footage, this is as good as it's gonna get. Enjoy!

    I saw Dave Mello's band Schlong and 3 Finger Spread play in 1993 and both bands were great!

    Jesse's vocals are the most destructive in punk rock, and they're just as great on Common Rider and Classics of Love. They're high energy, better than GBH and early Replacements.

    33:33 - Roadie jumps on stage to sing vocals for Room Without a Window, was part of the band the whole time... first gig was in his garage.

    Someone lost a shoe. Damn. That never even occurred to me as a risk. That would be a bring down. Hope they found it and could enjoy the show.

    Personally I think it's a shame Jesse Michaels didn't put more of his efforts into the music side of his career, his voice is so unique and distinct. Just a terrific punk style vocal that didn't get used as much as it could have.

    Man this is so cool, just to get a snippet in time of this. The sound is so good and damn if Tim and Matt and Jessie don’t sound so damn good. It’s like record quality. Fuck you guys could play. And I guess the drummer is part of the band too. Haha Just kidding I love the drums. Man I would love to have been there. Fuck yeah.
