| Tech Note | Seattle, WA July 5, 1987 (correct date; set lists on the web incorrectly refer to July 9) JEMS Master 01 Intro > Hold My Life 02 Bastards of Young 03 I.O.U. 04 Never Mind 05 I Will Dare 06 Sixteen Blue 07 Nightclub Jitters 08 Folsom Prison Blues 09 Little Mascara 10 Answering Machine 11 Born In The USA 12 Dedicated To The One I Love 13 Lift Her Skirt 14 Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out 15 Within Your Reach 16 The Ledge 17 I Don't Know 18 Valentine 19 Red Red Wine 20 Unsatisfied 21 Can't Hardly Wait 22 Swingin' Party 23 Sweet Home Chicago (cut: tape change) 24 Alex Chilton 25 Left Of The Dial This was a memorable one on several counts. First, Seattle's own Young Fresh Fellows opened the show, having become such good friends with Westerberg that they served as the house band at his wedding. Second, this a relatively early show in the Slim Dunlap era. Third, the band took the stage in garbage man coveralls. Fourth, check that, they didn't actually take the stage because their performance started in the pit in front of the stage. Fifth (I could keep going), they covered Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." I don't completely recall the details as to why this was my rig that night but it is the same exact set-up Brother KM used for his landmark, if I may be so bold, recording of U2 in Tempe in April of the same year. How that cheap little Aiwa mic managed to be as effective as it was, I'll never know, but like that Tempe tape, this tape has impressive sonic range and better low end than any cheap mic job ever. Samples provided. Having seen the 'Mats at their sloppiest before this, and later still figuring out how to behave like a "real" band, this show falls squarely into their most appealing phase for me as they play most of the songs all the way through, but still veer off course enough to keep the show totally in the moment. It kinds of drags to a halt at the end, but in spots it is thrilling. We did a lot of 'Mats shows over the years, but this one has always stuck with me more than the others. Butterking for JEMS |
