OldNeumanntapr Notes-
This was my first Bridge School Benefit and I was so glad to be there. I’ve seen/recorded four Bridge School Benefits and this one was my favorite. I don’t know if it was the band line up, or because it my first Bridge show, or if it was because of Bill Graham’s recent passing, but there was a lot of energy in the air. I really wanted to record a Bridge show, after having obtained 1st generation cassettes of the 1989 show. I believe that this is the first time that I recorded Neil Young. My friends Dave, Brian, and Rick met up with my ex wife and me at the show. They had reserved seats, while I wanted to be near the repeater speakers on the lawn to record. Dave told me that, though there was a pat down search getting into Shoreline, they would allow you to bring in food. I had the idea to take a small box of saltine crackers and hollow it out. I cut down the cellophane wrappers and only left about 15 crackers in each wrapper. My D6 fit perfectly inside the box, and I left it open with the remaining crackers exposed. We brought in a small tupperware of sliced cheese and cold cuts, and some sealed bottled water. I had a canvas bag with a solid sturdy bottom to hold everything. I took the microphones and custom XLR >RCA shortened cables and used a velcro Ace Bandage to conceal them on my body. Fortunately, being November, we had heavy coats that further concealed the gear. (It was really cold up on that lawn in November!) I opened the bag when we went through security, being careful to not let the gate people notice the added weight of the recorder inside, and we went in without a hitch. I ran the Nakamichi microphones in a Levi jacket, with holes sewn into the front two pockets so the capsules would protrude. I used hollowed out 35 mm film can lids to go over the microphone bodies to keep them from falling through the bottom of the pockets. As long as I stood near the repeater speakers it worked really well. I also had long hair that I wore down to further conceal the microphones. The recorder went into a hip pack so I was totally self contained. This was a really emotional weekend, with the recent death of Bill Graham. Tracy Chapman dedicated ‘Amazing Grace’ to Bill during her set. Nils Lofgren, who played the most touching set of any Bridge set I ever saw, made repeated references to Bill and told a story of getting caught by Graham trying to sneak into the Fillmore East. Nils Lofgren’s song ‘Big Tears Fall’ was very powerful. Nils asked the crowd if there were any parents in the crowd, and I remember thinking of our daughter Lucy, who was born in May of ’91 and was at home with Nikki’s folks while we went to the shows. I had just recorded two very emotional Grateful Dead shows at the Oakland Coliseum on October 27 and October 31. The 10/27/91 show was the first Dead show after Bill’s helicopter crash, (They opened with Bill’s favorite Dead song ’Sugar Magnolia’), and the Halloween show featured Ken Kesey as a special guest. After the Bridge School Benefit show, Nikki and I drove my ’67 VW camper bus to Atherton where we parked in front of my friend Karl’s friend’s parent’s house. Sunday morning we got up early and drove to Golden Gate Park to record the Bill Graham Benefit, which was another emotional all day event. It was billed as ‘Laughter, Love, And Music’. It was quite the weekend. I heard later that Dave, who didn’t stay overnight to see the Sunday Bill Graham memorial concert, ran out of gas driving his friends home in the middle of the night near Santa Margarita, CA.

Taper Notes-
This was the second time that I saw Blues Traveler. They are a good band and a great opening act! (They opened for the Allman Brothers Band.) Not many tapers at the Bowl, from what I remember. I was one of the closest to the stage, in the 8th row.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
I recorded this at the short-lived Bonnema Brewery in Atascadero. It had been a restaurant and was converted to a bar / restaurant / brewery with a small stage and an even smaller airplane hanging from the rafters. I recorded BOC and also The Fixx at this venue. The brewery only lasted a few years until the owner went bankrupt and the place closed down in 2005. It’s back to a restaurant now with another name.

NOTES:

What’s a better encore to Cruel World (err, more like an encore to Cruel World’s own encore, so an encore to an encore?) than seeing The Cure a couple days later? Yeah I can’t think of anything better either, so here we are! I, like everyone else probably, failed to get tickets when they first went on sale (even with THREE Hollywood Bowl dates, I was completely shut out – I smell something fishy there), so I had to be patient and keep checking back on Ticketmaster every so often. I was about to give up until I read about some Firefox extension that would help refresh TM’s page every few seconds for whatever event date you wanted, so I set it to run on all three days, and the first and only date that had a ticket pop up that I was able to purchase was for Tuesday. Works for me.

This was my third time seeing the Cure, and the first time since their Pasadena Daydream performance back in 2019. My seat was rather decent, in section G2, though it became apparent I was in the senior citizen section, as no one in that section wanted to stand up. And when I did stand up, for “Pictures of You”, one of my favorite songs, I was “heckled” to sit down near the end. Then a couple songs later, duing “Lovesong”, when multiple people near me stood up, I stood up again, and then sat back down for a slower song and immediately heard the “Thanks, I can see again asshole!”. I flipped the bird and then they barked back. Gosh, I really do hope that by standing, I ruined their first concert ever. Fucking douchebags. Sorry, maybe my concert etiquette is far different than others, given I do a lot of festivals, but if you want to stand, then fucking stand. Who cares? Now if we’re discussing these idiots talking during the show? Well that’s a whole other issue. But standing? Pff, gimme a fucking break. Here’s a big FUCK YOU to all the crybabies in G2. I’d almost not want to release this recording, just to spite those dickheads behind me.

Anyway, back to the show. I thought it sounded great. I was so glad they chose the Hollywood Bowl rather Staples (or Crypto or whatever the fuck it’s called now) or Kia Forum. I generally like the Bowl and its sound, so no complaints there. It was pretty cool that they had some sounds of thunder and rain coming through the PA before they took the stage. They eventually started flashing the stage lights like it was lightning, and for a split second I had terrible flashbacks to Cruel World on Saturday night, thinking actual lightning was in the area and this show was going to get cancelled. But no, it was just Robert fucking with us all.

They played a lot of the hits, skipped a lot of the hits, and played some new stuff, including the debut of “Another Happy Birthday”. I actually think the new song “And Nothing is Forever” is the best sounding song out of all the new stuff, by a mile. I was blown away by that one. Robert said they all had a “bug” and that he was probably patient zero. That might explain why everyone but Robert looked fucking bored out of their minds on stage. Roger O’Donnell looked like he was auditioning for a new Weekend At Bernie’s. I swear, he makes Gilian Gilbert of New Order look like a raving lunatic on stage in comparison. Here’s hoping it was just that “bug”…

This is a new digital transfer from the master tapes and 1st generation.
All new original artwork by me, with photos from the 17th thanks to Paul Jonason.

This project started only to add this show, it is missing from the database except for a comment about “3 extra songs from the second night” after 1983-08-16.
http://www.genesis-movement.org/php/showdetails.php?uid=1358
“Sing it like your being paid to do it!”
I do remember making that version for someone last century.

But in trying to make a complete version, my 1st generation was missing BIKO. So I went in search of the master, found Biko and more, but some of the master is still missing. The collections have merged a bit over the years, and the master for all of the first night was found, and some of the master of the 2nd night, the missing tracks 5-13 are patched from my 1st gen tape although not a 1-bit DSD transfer. Some lite EQ was needed to get the two transfers to match up as best as I could. The first show always sounded better, less crowd noise and Peter’s wireless mike was “scratchy” this night, so complete recordings of the 17th were not copied by very many if any.

The audience was drunk and roudy the second show, so Peter played school teacher. The front cover is a shot of him getting them to calm down with “Are you absolutly sure your ready? Then we’ll begin.” as you can see ,”If looks could kill…”

If you never had the experience of Peter crowd surfing over your head, listen closely to “Lay your hands on me”. You hear the crowd get louder as he is handed row by row back 20-25 rows from the stage, then you hear a small “CrUnCh” (the mics are worn over the ears) that is Peter going right over you. The crowd yells in joy again as he is handed up to the next row. This night the crowd was trying to get his jumpsuit off. Never did, but ripped him up a bit.

About the tour patch and for those that did not see the 1983 tour, it was called “Playtime 1988”. The 1980 tour was called “China 1984” and the tour guide was Peter’s version of Chairman Mao’s little red book in 1980.

Endless thanks to everyone that helped to put this together, especially to PG.
