1995, upstairs at Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta
Part 1
Smith’s made this video, then I think they made us buy it if we wanted it. So Tim or someone bought it and made copies.
The quality of my copy has gone downhill after all these years, especially after being watched a hundred times. And I’ve never liked the mix here; it’s obvious that whoever was mixing for the tape preferred vocals to instrumentation. (By the ninth song or so you can finally hear some keyboards and bass.)
Of the things that make this show and this lineup stand out from most of my other experiences playing: There were no 45-minute guitar solos, no “Statesboro Blues”, no Lynyrd Skynyrd, no Allman Brothers marathons…. It was a crisp show of all-original material, much of which was quite eclectic stuff. This was a high point.
If I do say so myself, this lineup was an exceptional band. 😉
