That was a great club! I played there in 2000 and saw a lot of cool shows there - MC3/5, Rocket From the Tombs, The New Folk Implosion and many more!

I have three uploads in a row that are almost exactly the same length - 1:29:00 and change. Everyone used C-90s as the C-100s were pricey and the C-120s were unreliable. So the few minutes we lost there would have probably been lost at the very end. Thanks for the info about the mystery song!

I saw Nashville Pussy there twice. That was memorable. Skullbuckle, maybe.I know that it was much later than '87 when I saw them play under that name.

Yes, it is a soundboard tape - it sounds great but I wish I could have brought the bass guitar up more. With todays AI programs you can probably do that. I don't remember the show either but I bet we were both there, on Halloween! I definitely remember the name 'Skull Buckle'!

Thanks very much, I'm so glad that you found it and like it! It is too good to keep to myself!

My pleasure! Good times indeed!

He is a giant to me!

That was the original lineup in 1983 with Chris Donato on bass!

Great seeing you, Jeff! I will check out that album, and thanks so much for checking out my sweet bear friend videos!

Thanks! Dan was the man, and Music Midtown was amazing back in the day - I wonder if I was at that show. I saw the Acoustic Warriors again at the Variety Playhouse a few years after this. Yes, it would be great to have your contact info - could you send me a message at my website? It's my name dot com...

Thanks so much - I still have a lot more to share! Yes, they were a super talented band - DB Recs signed the cream of the local crop. The Nick was a fun spot; I enjoyed playing there and drove over to see a few shows as well, including Redd Kross on the Neurotica tour!

Those New Orleans boys know how to party!

My pleasure - thank you!!

I lost the books with all my MCG dates, but I remember that we played at Elliston Square in 1987 or 88!

@@Ted_Selke was there!!

@@clarkemartty7874 That's awesome - small world! I wish I knew the date of that show so I could add it to my gig list! tedselke.com/ted-s-gigs

Bruce Threlkeld is a badass drummer!

I got to see them at the Fox Theater in Atlanta opening for The Godfathers and Love and Rockets! The Godfathers were awesome - Birth, School, Work, Death!

@@Ted_Selke The Chestnut was a small 700 capacity club and The Godfathers weren’t a big draw. I stood a few feet back stage left. The next time I had the same feeling was Soundgarden at the Trocadero 1,200 capacity and Smashing Pumpkins at Khyber Pass 100 capacity.

I missed them too - they played the all-ages club circuit.

Definitely! George Drakoulias gave them a new name and a new sound!

He is a great guy and he added a lot - he was the original mandolin player!

The other side of the cassette has a (noisy) audience recording that I think is the beginning of the set: Mountain Top, Count the Flowers, Everything Looks Better in the Dark, Legal Gun, Tina's Grocery. There are also some early mixes of tracks from the Everything Looks Better in the Dark album that I might upload if they sound different from the released versions.

I was there in 2013 - I forgot that the Prosecutors opened the show! I went the first night; I remember seeing their old guitarist Buren in the audience. There is a video of the Prosecutors set on youtube - that's how I found out (remembered) about the reunion: ruclips.net/video/tkPYVg41yPE/видео.html

They were an influence on us. We played shows with them and shared a few members over the years.

​@@Ted_Selkewho are the rhythm section

​@@Ted_SelkeSteve played on these right?

@@christopher-xi2ey yes, I used to have a few pictures with Steve but I think I lost them along with all my booking records from those years. I have a few of the dates but all my band calendars with a lot of Southeastern shows disappeared when I was sharing a house with Steve and he kicked me out of the band I talked him into joining. Here are the shows I have from my time in the band; I would love it if anyone can add to the list: tedselke.com/ted-s-gigs Now to answer your question, it is Ted Selke on bass and Steve Gorman on drums. Thanks for asking!

I'm so glad you like the tape - thanks for sharing your recollections!

Thank you very much - I'm so glad you like the YUR tape! Yes, I still have a lot of interesting tapes to share so please stay tuned!

Thanks - I couldn't agree more! They despised hippies back then!

Thank you! Yes, I could make a high bitrate copy. I actually corrected the speed on the first track as the tape runs much too fast - I lowered the speed until the guitar was in tune. I boosted the mids and adjusted the volume levels to make them more consistent. On the tape, some tracks are very loud and others are very quiet. Then I ran my DAW noise reduction to bring down the background noise level as it was very loud. I didn't do an individual mastering on each track, so there is probably room for improvement if someone wants to take the time to do that.

@@Ted_Selke You did a fantastic job. I love the sound of this.

@@jude999 Thank you so much!!!

I heard 1,2,3 on the radio yesterday and thought of Tommy's wonderful vocals.

@@Ted_Selke My favorite part of some of their shows was when Tommy would step down and sing a pop song while Terry beat the shit out of his drums. Here is a funny moment with Tommy and Big Al doing Always Something There to Remind Me, great memories. ruclips.net/video/FuKf9XTDHk0/видео.htmlsi=cnTXE-d3y8bCZe2o

I love that song! [referring to a comment that has since been removed] He did a great version of Our Day Will Come as well!

Meow !

that's hilarious!

Thanks so much, Tom! Yes, I felt very lucky to play with them. Great seeing you at the fantastic dBs reunion show!

It is such a great song and I Iove this version!

It was an awesome show. I was two rows behind you in row C!

Incredible. Sounds great also. I bet as I listen more I will hear my voice. Do you remember when he broke a string and then he sang “I broke my strings

@@reallist8050 And he introduced his upcoming LP as 'Goodbye President Reagan'. Wishful thinking!

@@Ted_Selke ha, I will listen for that

Yes, I think you're right! I missed those shows unfortunately, though I went to the Wild Weekend a few years before that. I couldn't find a 1993 photo and I didn't want to use a 70s/80s photo so I picked this one to illustrate who was in the band. I forgot about the reunion shows - good eye!

The 2 reunion shows. especially the first one were just the absolute best shows ever.

@@gregfeeney1375 I lived in Northampton for eight years but I got there too late to catch the shows. I did see them with Big Al many times though! And I got to see and meet the Shaggs at their reunion show in North Adams, MA!

That's cool that you got to see them with Big Al, and Tommy's vocal spotlight was always a highlight!

Usually the more miffed Al looked the better the show was. I actually talked to him about it once and he said. "you noticed that "
