Tracks 1 - 9: KDHX St. Louis, December 19, 1989
This is one of a few full-band radio broadcast performances I know of that were performed
specifically for broadcast and not just re-broadcast of concert performances. The mix is
high on drums and vocals (like most small club soundboards) but it's a very energetic
recording nonetheless. And very, very early. Dear 23 was a few months away from release at
that point. The tape was sourced from a former Seattle bandmate who had just moved from the
St. Louis area. His tape was a copy of a St. Louis bandmate's tape that was sourced from
the original broadcast. That said, there's noticeable wow and flutter at times. It's a
historic recording so I try to look past that sort of thing.

Tracks 10 - 18: Whisky a Go Go, Los Angeles, August 16, 1993
This is a nice professional multi-track recording from the Whisky for an L.A. radio station.
My source is pre-FM from a clone of the master disc used for on-air use. Since it was set-
up for DJ upcuts I had to edit the disc. That sounds more drastic than it really is. I
only had to create track marks where none existed. Anyhow, this is about as good as it
gets sound-wise. Performance though I think is kinda rough. I've heard better performances
from that tour.
