OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was the second of two Phil shows that I saw in a row at the Greek. It’s a beautiful amphitheater, but driving in Berkeley is NUTS! Les Claypool and the Flying Frog Brigade was one of the opening bands this weekend. I recorded that set but I don’t think it ever got transferred. I decided that I wasn’t a big Les Claypool fan. I really liked hearing Warren Haynes play and sign with Phil. I went to these two shows with my friend Taper Ron, who I first met at the Saturday Grateful Dead show at Shoreline on 10/3/87. Party on, Ron!

OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was a show that my friend Jason, from Portland Oregon, recorded. Jason was one of the first tapers that I knew, along with my friend John Lech, who made the transition to DAT. There is a touch of distortion in places but overall it’s a really nice recording and is very clear.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
This weekend was the only time I have been to the Greek Theatre at Berkeley. Sadly I never made it there to see or record the Dead. It’s a beautiful amphitheater with an awesome view of San Francisco. Unfortunately I don’t have really good memories of the venue, because driving in Berkeley is royal pain. It seemed to take us 40 years to get to the show from Oakland, where my friend Ron lived. Plus, Security almost threw me out for taking photos of my friend Taper Ron in the tapers section. I had no idea that you couldn’t bring cameras into the Greek. The Dead were always cool with (non flash) cameras. They pulled me out to the front gates and proceeded to confiscate the battery out of my Nikon FM2N , and I had to plead with them not to eject me by saying that I had a taping rig set up and running. They looked at my Nikon FM2N and 80-200 f/2.8 AF lens and said, ‘How did you get THAT in here?’. Ah, in my taping bag with all my other gear. Like I said, I had no idea you couldn’t bring in cameras. The show was good, and I really liked hearing Warren Haynes play with Phil. ‘She Said She Said’ was awesome. Man, Warren has some pipes! For some reason, lost to time, I lost the encore and had to get a copy from another recording.

I stayed the night at a friend of my friend Ron’s in Oakland and went back to the Greek to record the Sunday Phil show.

OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was the show that Bob Dylan opened for Phil Lesh & Friends and Bob wouldn’t allow any of the taper’s microphones to be placed on the stands until after his set. I got a front-of-board DAT recording of Bob’s set later from Eugene Hu so I wasn’t that worried about not being able to run tape for the Dylan set. There was an official from Dylan’s crew that walked through the taper section and made sure that no one was setting up microphones while Dylan played.

As we were waiting for Phil’s set, either during Dylan’s set or at the break, I can’t remember, I was talking with Charlie Miller. While we were chatting, toward the right side of the tapers section up on the lawn, Charlie spotted a bag of really nice Indica bud lying on the grass. It was either a quarter or half ounce. Charle picked it up and looked at the nearest person and said, ‘Hey, you dropped your weed!’ The person looked at him and his eyes got wide and reached out for the bag. It was then that Charlie pulled his hand back and said, ‘Wait a minute, that’s not yours!’ Not knowing who it belonged to, he took the only sensible and reasonable course
of action; He divvied up the pot and handed it out bud-by-bud to various people. He gave me a rather tasty nodule that I had quite a lot of fun ingesting for the rest of the afternoon! I remarked to him that he looked like a ‘Jolly Green Psychedelic Santa’! It definitely made for a pleasant concert experience!

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
This show was billed as “Summer Session ’99”, and I taped up front and hung my Neumanns underneath Bonnie Harris’s Schoeps MK-41v mics. This tour was with Gov’t Mule and Phil & Friends as constants, and the bands moe., Galatic, and String Cheese Incident rotated from show to show. I remember thinking that moe was weird, but I have heard they have a core following. I was indebted at this show to Bonnie Harris for letting me hang my Neumann KM140s under her Schoeps MK41Vs, and also to my friend Allan Chen for supplying the Lunatec V2 microphone preamp which was far better than my Beyer MV100. The tapers section was on the floor up front and was totally filled by the time I got in. It’s nice to have friends!! 🙂

Opened for Gov’t Mule.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
(This set is tracked as one long jam, with several themes interspersed.)
This was my first Gov’t Mule show. The plastic clamps on my microphone stand broke as I was setting up, but I was able to patch into Dan’s KM-184’s. The etree listing is wrong however. They list a Lunatec V2 mic preamp when it was actually a Lunatec 316 studio model that Dan had rigged to run off of a car battery. He brought a hand truck into the show with all of his gear in anvil cases. Dan was first in line and I was right behind him. Wow! I patched my D7 into his DA-P1. I was so impressed with the sound of the Neumanns that I sold my Nakamichi’s and bought a set of Neumanns later that year! We were up in the left balcony and Dan had his KM-184s spread about a foot and a half in an OFTF pattern. This recording SHINES, especially during the acoustic opening set with Tim Reynolds and Warren. (I was Mesmerized by Tim’s playing, with all the electronic effects and sampling.)

The Catalyst has two balconies on either side of the stage, and I think the balconies sound much better than the floor does. This is the show that my buddy Jack, the dwarf, left the show with some woman he met and I never saw him again for the rest of the night. I waited until 3 am in Santa Cruz and he never showed up, so I left. At 6 am when I had just gotten home my phone rang and it was him, drunk, saying, “Where are you?” He took a bus home the following day and was mad at me but hey, I waited until 3 am. What was I going to do? He gave me gas for years about leaving him in Santa Cruz. I looked for him EVERYWHERE, and remember looking for him out in the back of the Catalyst and there was a taper who I saw give Warren Haynes a DAT tape case. He looked confused and opened it up, and inside was a bomber joint!

OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was billed as a free show, but we were still hesitant to bring the Nakamichi CM-300s. I wished I would have, because it was a completely free and open taping event. I even saw a Pro video camera there. I ran the Aiwa CM-30 microphone clipped to the outside of a hat, and stood as tall as I could. Weir & Wasserman opened for a reunited Jefferson Airplane, which was the highlight of the afternoon. Hot Tuna also played an acoustic set in the middle of the Airplane set. I thought that the sound at the show was heavy on midrange and it shows in the recording, unfortunately. Bill Graham made a comment during the show and said that he hoped both bay area baseball teams would square off for the World Series and they would close the Bay Bridge, for a party. It was amazing weather, which some people said felt like earthquake weather. 16 days later the big Loma Prieta Earthquake struck the bay area, collapsing freeways and closing down the Bay Bridge. Freaky. After this afternoon set was over, we hoofed it down to Shoreline for the Grateful Dead show that night, having also recorded the Dead show the night before. (What a weekend!) We got into the taper section late and only were able to record the second set.

My ex wife Nikki and I rode to San Francisco with my friend Taper Ron, from Oakland, because I was leery of parking two cars at Golden Gate Park, but maybe it would have been better if we had so we didn’t have to go back to Oakland after the show and make our way down 880 through the East Bay.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
I’ve had this cassette since 1987 and got it from my friend Tim Harris. It was only marked ‘Neil Young Louisville’, so I had to search through Setlists.fm to match up the setlist with a date. It’s not a bad recording, and is clear and up-front sounding, though there is some talking from the taper in a few places. I was really surprised that no one at etree had it in their collection. Neil mentioned taking an intermission at the end of the recording, but apparently he ended the show early because of the flu and there was a riot, described in the following newspaper report:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Flu-stricken musician Neil Young ended his concert early Friday night and passed out in his dressing room while fans jeered and threw chairs. Three people were arrested.

Police said there were no injuries.
Those taken into custody were charged with inciting a riot, wanton endangerment, criminal mischief and criminal attempted assault.

Police restored ordered in about an hour at the state-owned Commonwealth Convention Center, where about 5,500 people paid $10.50 and $12.50 for the concert.

Dr. Richard Greathouse of Louisville, a pediatrician and elected Jefferson County coroner, announced to the crowd that Young had become ill and was unable to continue the performance.

The announcement prompted jeers by the crowd. Some people threw cups of beer and tossed chairs. Police estimated damage at the downtown convention hall at $1,000.

A spokesman for Sunshine Productions, the agency that booked the concert, said Young has been suffering from the flu for several days.

‘He’s very sick,’ Sunshine spokesman Steve Cohen said. ‘The rigors of the road are not an easy thing and an illness doesn’t make it any better.’

Cohen said the concert probably would be rescheduled. He promised a prompt announcement on tickets for those who had attended the abbreviated concert.

Tapers Notes-

It was sad seeing/recording the Garcia Band without Jerry, but…Melvin’s Gotta Eat! So support him when you can. He is a good musician who is trying to carry on the flame as best he can. I hadn’t listened to this recording in years, if ever. I remember being really sad at this show because it was only a little over two years since Jerry’s passing.

OldNeumanntapr Notes-
I was only able to see the Jerry Garcia Band three times, I’m sorry to say, but interestingly enough they were all out doors: Once at Squaw Valley in ’91 and twice at the Ventura Fairgrounds; 1992 and this show in ’94, a day before my 29th birthday. I remember that I didn’t have my own DAT portable yet (I was still using the Sony D6) so my friend Jack in Salt Lake City Fed Ex’d me his Sony TCD-D3 DAT and the Nyquist Omnis, which were a set of custom-loaded microphones in a hat, so I could record this show digitally. I picked up the package at the Fed Ex office at the Santa Maria airport and drove down to the show, taking my other friend Little Jack the dwarf with me. I remember sitting in the cab of my F-150 in the parking lot by the beach trying to figure out how to run the deck before I went into the show because I’d never used the D3 before. There was a guy who walked by, saw me fumbling with the deck and said, ‘Pirate radio at its finest!’. I never forgot that! I went up front and found a good spot to record from and watched a great show. I was DEAD Center, about 25 to 30 feet back from the stage. I remember that there were other tapers there but this isn’t a show that you see listed much. I wonder why? At the end of the first set Jerry said, ‘Try and stay warm out there if you can’, and a guy next to me said, ‘Wow, he Talked! He Never talks!’ (The fog had rolled in and it was getting cold.) I remember that Jerry and Melvin Seals had really good interplay that night and I was thinking how different the Garcia Band sounded compared with the Dead. Jerry really liked the psychedelic Motown sound! Sadly this was the last time that I would see the Jerry Garcia Band. I recorded the Dead about 50 times between 1986 and ’95 but for some reason the money was never there when JGB tickets went on sale. Much sadness. 🙁
