Two nights earlier it was U2 at BC Place in Vancouver. The night before was R.E.M. in Oakland. The night after it was U2 again at the Oakland Coliseum outdoors. A quick check of my ticket (see attached) and the seating chart confirms my memory that JEMS recorded this from the very last row, straight back from the stage but inline with the PA at this relatively small gym/fieldhouse. I'm sure I traded it a time or two back in the day as I was a fairly active R.E.M. trader, but I had always remembered it as a mediocre recording. What it lacks in closeness it makes up for in clarity as it sounded better than expected when I put it up on the Nakamichi CR-7A today. This is an appealing show with a long encore that suggests the band was having fun. Michael is in particularly entertaining form. Happy to make this our first contribution to the Work Tour 20th Anniversary effort. Butterking for JEMS |
