OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was the second time that Merl played Loco Ranchero in San Luis Obispo, CA, the ‘Club On The Hill’. I once agin was there with my D6 to plug into the board. At least this time it went a little easier since I had met both Merl before, as well as Kip the Loco soundman. Carol Jo, ‘The Wood Nymph’, from KOTR FM introduced Merl at the start of ‘Expressway’. Sorry that the ending of ’Sugaree’ is cut. I probably wasn’t watching the deck closely enough. (I think I was outside partaking in a friend’s joyful Indica!) This was a good weekend, with three shows in two days. I went to the Ventura Fairgrounds the next day for the Jerry Garcia Band, and Merl Saunders that night at the Brew House in Santa Barbara.

OldNeumanntapr Notes;
I remember this show well. Some friends of mine played in a local SLO County band called ‘Midnight Rider’, an Allman Brothers / Grateful Dead cover band, and they were opening for Merl Saunders at Loco Ranchero. I’d never seen Merl before but had heard that he allowed board recording, and I’d never been to Loco Ranchero before. Well, actually I’d been in the building before, but that was when the venue was called ‘The Spirit’. I saw Country Joe MacDonald there in the late 80s. The club up on the hill, which is now the home of KSBY TV Channel 6, started out as a seafood restaurant called ‘The Breakers’ in the 1960s. It went through several names,(Yancy McFadden’s, The Hill Top, etc), and actually sat vacant for a few years. Supposedly, the land was owned by Wayne Newton and I heard a story that there is a Chumash Indian burial ground up there. Someone else told me once that the place was haunted, or had a curse on it. I guess the main ‘curse’ was that no one could make a go of it, and whatever business was there never made any money. (One reason might have been because there is only one road up to the top of the hill, and the cops would sit at the bottom at 2:00 am and bust drunk drivers as they left the club.)

Anyway, this particular night, since my friends were opening the show, I wanted to plug my Sony D6 into the board. This was also the night that I met Kip Stork, who was then the Loco soundman and would go on to be the house soundman at SLO Brew for years until it closed. I found the ‘master output’ of the board and asked to plug in. Kip was kind of confused, but allowed me to tape Midnight Rider. He pulled my cables at the set break until Merl personally gave the OK for me to record. Kip was shocked that Merl would allow a soundboard recording but allowed me to plug back in. I used Dolby C that night with MX-S metal tape because I wanted the best possible recording. I think it still sounds pretty good, even today. (At that time Merl would only allow cassette recorders to be plugged into the board. No DAT.) It was a fun show, and Merl was very generous to let me record. I met Marina, his wife and manager, that night and got her business card so I could record Merl in the future.

The purpose of the Uncle Tupelo Upgrade Series is to circulate live recordings of Uncle Tupelo and related bands with known lineages, focusing on recordings taken directly from masters or from the cleanest, lowest generation copies available. Some are shows that have circulated online for years with unknown or incorrect lineages and others are shows that have not been widely circulated in the file-sharing era. I will share any information I have regarding the recordings, as well as any features of the shows themselves that make them special to me.

NOTES ON THE RECORDING

In late 1994, Uncle Tupelo’s management very generously allowed taper / collector / superfan Shayne Stacy access to their archive of live cassette tapes. That is if you consider a bunch of cassettes that they had thrown in a box in the closet, many with very little or no identifying information, to be their “archives.” Most of those recordings as well as an embarrassment of other great shows are available for streaming on Shayne’s website, https://sacramentomusicarchive.com/.

This is another recording that was completely unknown among the fans until Shayne got access to the band’s archives. This has never circulated on file sharing sites with a verified lineage back directly to the band’s copy, but in listening to the version that has circulated this is at most a minor upgrade as far as the sound quality goes.

NOTES ON THE SHOW

A rare all-acoustic show, as far as I know the only folk festival they ever played. The band did a few acoustic sets at Cicero’s Basement Bar in 1990, and there were a few nights on their US winter tour in 1992 where they played mostly acoustic simply because their amps and/or elecric guitars broke, but this set is still quite unique. The show is actually what you might expect for the tour following the release of their third album MARCH 16-20, 1992, with 9 out of the 15 songs from the album and acoustic versions of some favorites from the first two albums and a few covers. Brian Henneman sat in with them for the full set which is a treat.

This show is one of the earliest recordings of the band with Bill Belzer on drums, he formally joined the band about 6 weeks before this show. The set includes one of only two known versions of Neil Young’s classic “Motion Pictures” with Jeff’s introduction that mentions “honey slides” showing that they had been listening to the famous recording of Neil’s May 17, 1974 show at the Bottom Line (one of the all-time great ROIOs in my opinion). The set also includes one of only two known live versions of “Warfare” and “I Wish My Baby Was Born.”

Fun fact: Jeff Tweedy has said that they learned “Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down,” “Warfare,” and “I Wish My Baby Was Born” from the HIGH ATMOSPHERE compilation of old-time folk songs recorded in the mountains of Virginia and North Carolina in 1965 by John Cohen from the New Lost City Ramblers. There is an interesting variation between the version of “I Wish My Baby Was Born” on that record, sung unaccompanied by Dillard Chandler, and Uncle Tupelo’s version. In the beginning, Dillard sings that he wishes he could trade his own life for the life of his stillborn child (“…and me poor girl were dead and gone / and the green grass growing over my feet.”). In Uncle Tupelo’s version, that got flipped to where the singer wished he could trade the life of the mother for the life of the child (“…and you poor girl were dead and gone / green grass growing over thee”).

The Historic Fremont (Movie) Theater Was Built In 1942

*Intro By ‘Lady Tie Die’ And ‘Carol Jo’ From KOTTR FM
Tom Ball And Kenny Sultan Opened

OldNeumanntapr Notes;
I remember this show Well! It was the first time that I had seen Los Lobos and I got a free ticket at the very last minute. The guy who did PR for the company that I worked for had some free tickets because we were a sponsor of the show. I asked him for one on the day of the show at work. He gave me hell for waiting for the last minute to request a ticket and said not to hold my breath. At the end of the day he came to me and tossed me a ticket on my desk and said, ‘Here you are. It’s front row but…’ But what? I asked. ‘It’s all the way on the side’, he said. ‘Right in front of the left PA stack.’ I smiled and said that wouldn’t be a problem! I rushed home after work and quickly gathered my Nakamichi CM-300s and my Sony D6 and headed to the show. I missed the opening band which was Tom Ball & Kenny Sultan because I had to go all the way home to pick up my recording equipment. Interestingly enough, that was the day that a semi truck loaded with VERY toxic jet fuel bound for Vandenberg Air Force Base broke down on the Cuesta grade so they had the 101 freeway shut down over the grade. I had to detour through Morro Bay to get home. I wasn’t sure how Los Lobos felt about live taping. This was in the days before the internet so you couldn’t just check a web page. I was pretty sure the theater wouldn’t like it so I decided to play it safe. I set up the mics in the bathroom and then went to find my seat. The Fremont is an old Art-Deco-styled movie theater dating back to WW II. It has 1000 seats and is very ornate, with lots of neon and a high marquee outside. Inside it has a Huge old-fashion lobby and tapestries on the walls. The ceiling of the theater is festooned with an inset of what looks to me like a bird’s head and beak. I’ve been seeing movies in that theater since 1977 and it’s a favorite. Previously, there have only been a few bands that have played there in the history of the theater. Bonnie Raitt played there in 1983. Los Lobos played there twice, this show and once in ’95. I liked the ’92 show better. The band Yes also played there in the mid 90s. (Currently two different concert promoters have been utilizing the Fremont for live shows.) My audience master sounds like a board tape because I was literally 4 feet from the left PA stack. I ran the Nakamichi’s in a Levi jacket that had holes cut into the bottom of the front pockets so that only the capsules would stick out. The D6 I ran in a hip pack. This was my standard set up for shows at this time. I had really long hair then that I would use to cover the end of the mics with so they couldn’t be seen. There was a Cal Poly athlete security guard sitting in a folding chair not too far from me so I couldn’t really monitor my deck. When I felt the D6 shut off in the middle of a song (much sadness) I had to get up and walk back up the aisle to an empty seat to flip the tape without being seen. Ah but the struggles that we had to endure before going DAT!!! So as a result, the end of ‘Emily’ is cut. The band was really tight and the sound was awesome. They were really enthusiastic to be playing there and they did a lot of interesting and what I found out later to be rare songs. I recorded the Los Lobos show at the Fremont in ’95 but that show was SO LOUD that I had some clipping problems with the Nyquist omni mics that I had used. I think the ’92 was a much better show, both sonically and musically.

OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was the second to last time that I recorded the Grateful Dead at the Oakland Coliseum. I recorded the 12/18/93 Dead show in the tapers section at the Coliseum but those tapes are missing from my collection. I have the ticket stub, but that’s all. My friend Jack recorded the 12/18/93 show up front with the Nyquist Omni’s >TCD-D3 DAT, and I’m sure that I thought his recording sounded better than mine so I most likely ditched my tapes.

I couldn’t find the ticket stub to the 12/11/92 show, but at least I still had the tapes in my cassette collection. I can remember being in the tapers section of the 12/18/93 Oakland show because that’s when I first saw a new Sony TCD-D7 DAT recorder. I wouldn’t be able to afford one until May of 1995. (I’ve recorded the Dead at the Oakland Coliseum Arena a lot over the years and they all seem to run together in a blur.) I always thought that 5/22/93 Shoreline was my first show mastered with my D5, but apparently this one was, because I bought the D5 from my friend Jack in late 1992 when he switched to DAT. I remember that I used the D5 to record James Cotton through the board at the SLO Vets’ Hall and liked the loud headphone amp because it made it easier to monitor the sound. Thanks to my friend Dave for the use of his Denon cassette deck so could transfer all my cassette masters that hadn’t been completed before. I don’t believe that this show has ever been shared, or at least not for a long time.

OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was the first time that I’d seen ‘Mr. Super’, James Cotton. He blew a great harp but I thought his vocals were really raspy. I’ve seen a few harmonica players at the Blues Society over the years and thought that James Cotton was one of the better ones. I liked his playing better than say, Charlie Musselwhite, but their styles aren’t quite the same so maybe that’s not a fair comparison. Some drunk woman from the audience got up onstage and ‘performed’ with the band. I don’t know if you’d call it singing or just moaning but people laughed and the band seemed to find it amusing. This might have been the first time that I used my Sony D5 to record one of the SLO Blues Society shows. I had recently purchased it from my friend Jack in Salt Lake City when he made the transition to DAT. Thanks, as always, to my friend Little Jack, the house soundman for the Blues Society, for allowing me to plug into his Yamaha soundboard. His gear was old but had good sound. (He told me once that the mixing board came out of a club in Los Angeles that was being torn down and he bought it from a pro-audio recycler.) I was a volunteer on the sound crew for the SLO Blues Society for most of the 1990s until Jack retired in the very early 2000s. Some shows we had permission for and some we did not, though Bob, the President of the Blues Society would always ask for a copy of the tapes!

Oldneumanntapr Notes:

The Anaconda is no more. Fortunately, I was able to see / record two shows there in early 1992. This the first time that I had seen ‘Mr Lucky’, John Lee Hooker. It was in a little club in Isla Vista (near Santa Barbara and where the UCSB campus is located). The Anaconda used to be The Graduate, and before that it was a Bank Of America that ended up getting torched during the Vietnam War, from what I’m told. I saw two shows at the Anaconda, this one and Bo Diddley a month earlier. At one of those shows, I can’t remember which, I saw a blind man taping with Nakamichi CM-300s out in the open. Strange. John Lee Hooker put on a good show, but you could tell that in years past he had more energy. He did a lot of vocals and not that much of his signature ‘slashing’ guitar work. Still, it was good to see a legend. The tape still sounds pretty good, even by today’s standards. He played for about an hour and then signed autographs.
I wish now that I would have used the Nakamichi CM 300s like i did for Bo Diddley a month earlier. I don’t remember why I didn’t, but I do remember that it was really foggy going home that night. My friend Dave got an album signed after the show.
