OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was one of only two shows that I recorded at Palookaville in Santa Cruz, now long since gone. Palookaville was a shoebox-type club with a low ceiling and the stage at one of the narrow ends and a bar at the other. The other show I recorded there was Medeski, Martin, & Wood in 1999. Palookaville had poor ventilation and could get really hot and stuffy inside, as I remember this show to be. My friend Taper Ron nearly passed out because of the heat and the crowded bodies. Palookaville lasted from 1994 to 2002. At the beginning of ‘Eyes Of The World’, a girl cries out to please open the door because it was so hot and stuffy inside. It really was like a sauna.

I recorded the show up front on the left with my Neumann rig and also shot photos with a Nikon F4S and 85mm f/1.4 AIS Nikkor manual focus lens, on Fuji 1600 print film. This was the second time that I have seen Bob Weir solo, the first was when he and Rob Wasserman opened for the Jefferson Airplane in Golden Gate Park on Sept 30 1989.

I saw Charlie Miller again at this show, the one who does the remasters of Dead soundboards and led to people coining the phrase ‘Miller Boards’. Charlie was the only one who the band would allow to plug into the soundboard. The rest of us had to tape in the audience, but at least I got a good place upfront, about 20 ft. from stage on the left side.

Do NOT Convert To MP3.
Enjoy! Share freely, don’t sell, play nice, don’t run with scissors, etc. 😉

Various Artists – Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan, Vol. 10: Next Time You See Me Comin’

Various Artists
Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan, Vol. 10: Next Time You See Me Comin’

This one begins and ends with some very special performances. The first track is from the final Grateful Dead show, which was the final show Jerry Garcia ever played; this was the final Dylan cover he ever performed. The last track is the last song from the concert Bob Weir played with his band Ratdog on the night of the day Jerry died. In between are a batch of exceptional performances, including a rendition of “Hard Rain” by Dylan-producer Daniel Lanois that is from one of the best shows I have ever been to; the whole show is currently available on Dime, and should be in every music lover’s collection.

This will be the final entry in this series for 2006, as I am going on vacation and leaving my computer behind. But I hope to come back with more in 2007, so keep the suggestions and files coming! As always, thanks to the tapers, the original uploaders, and especially the performers and composer. Pdiamond and dsgtrane have been kind enough to create great artwork for the first nine volumes, and hopefully one or both of them or someone else will do the same for this one. Due to the many different sources, I am not including lineages. I have done nothing to the original files but normalize the levels and fade in and out on each track (using Cool Edit). Enjoy!
