OldNeumanntapr Notes-
This was the very first recording that I made with my, at that time, brand new Tascam DR-100mkII. I was recording Amanda’s set mostly just to get a feel for the new deck, and to practice a little with it before Todd Snider came out.

OldNeumanntapr Notes-
This was the first of 46 SLO Brew shows that I would record throughout the next twenty three and a half years. From 1988 to 2001 the bands played upstairs at SLO Brew next to the restaurant. In mid 2001 the stage was enlarged and moved downstairs and the capacity was increased to 457 people. It was still a nice intimate setting, but larger than what it used to be upstairs. I have never seen this band before, or since. My friend little Jack used to do sound at SLO Brewing Company back in the early 90s. This was before Kip became the house sound man, as Kip was still doing sound at Loco Ranchero up on the hill across town where KSBY TV Channel 6 is now. I helped Jack on occasion with the load in/out and set up/tear down of sound equipment at various local venues. I recorded Avocado Sundae through Jack’s 16 channel Yamaha mixer board with my Sony D5. The board was old, and was taken from a club in Los Angeles that had been town down. It had dust in the sliders because it was stored in a barn and we used to use it out doors in the summertime to do blues concerts, but it had great analog sound. I had jack give me a stereo output for this show and I think it sounds good. Avocado Sundae is a good California psychedelic jam band, based in Fairfax. I was surprised that there wasn’t any other Avocado Sundae shows on etree. I tried to reach out to the band to get them a copy (and to get a set list for the show) but I don’t do the Facebook thing and that seems to be the only way to get a hold of them. Someone please make sure they hear this recording. I took the band member’s names off of Facebook and correlated them with the onstage band intros to match up the musicians with the instruments, but I wasn’t certain about who did the respective vocals, so I left that blank.
