  • with Warren Haynes

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 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.

Original info

This was a warmup show for Neil’s European tour with Crazy Horse (which ended up being aborted when Neil cut his left index finger while making a turkey sandwich).

Three songs were played for the first time: Out Of Control, Horseshoe Man and Modern World. This concert has a diverse setlist with selections from the rarely-played Mirror Ball album, and classics such as Cortez The Killer, Don’t Be Denied, Big Time and Hey Hey, My My.

This version of the show is an audience recording, with very good sound quality.

Thanks to Marc Verbruggen for the artwork (great job!).

Thanks to Mark Diniakos for supplying me with this concert, and to Mr. Clean for fixing the show and making it sound as good as possible.
