Ballsdeep notes: I don’t have much to say for this one…as I wasn’t even there. a friend (Dave P.) taped this in Sacramento
with his D-3 while I went to Mountain View for R.E.M and Sonic Youth on the same night. Stated as such as the recorder
and microphones are a bit different than the previous Oakland and San Jose gigs. and this is transferred from a 1st gen tape,
as he has the masters. I’m pretty sure this has never been uploaded before….it’s a solid show, and I do believe complete.
I will say that all 3 of these shows have a slightly ‘hollow’ sound to my ears. I blame the Sony 909 mic, as a short
appeared my favored Sonic Studios (DSM6P) when at White Zombie in Phoenix on May 10, and I had to mail them to Oregon
via Express Mail to get them somewhat repaired (Leonard never did replace the wires, in 2016 the mics are on their last
legs) and returned for the rest of the trip starting with The Black Crowes May 17 in L.A.
I believe they’d be a bit more ‘punchy’ on the low end with the SS mics, but don’t worry, having had a few years taping
experience at this point, they’re still very solid documents of the time. or, Eddie sounds fine, and crowd noise is pretty
much at a minimum (again, this is after spot listens, haven’t listened to every second of every show again, but I’m pretty
happy with what I hear), though this Sacramento gig has a bit more crowd noise than Oakland or San Jose.
Also, Slash’s Snakepit opened (the only 3 shows of the VH tour doing so, they were a last minute add before Slash and Co.
headed to Japan), the San Jose and Oakland opening sets are complete, Sacramento I believe is the last 4 songs only, I
believe Dave got there late.
It sure is nifty how one can post show availability in a torrents comment section, send a show to someone over the interwebs
(sic) and have it uploaded in less time than just mailing tapes/cds one way in the mail. BIG thanks to in_halen for the
upload…you never know what may pop up next.
in_halen notes: Thanks to Steve H. (ballsdeep) for the opportunity to upload this tasty master! This is a very solid recording
of a vaguely controversial period in VH history; myself, I rather enjoy this period, though, to Steve’s point, I also missed
this tour and saw the R.E.M. show instead, but, in Denver!
