CommentDead Milkmen rehearsal
From Joe: "There was definitely a small audience at The Dead Milkmen rehearsal on this day. In fact it was the day that Land of the Shakers was recorded, a crowd participation track that I edited out for copyright reasons as it is now part of the "Now We Are 20" album. We had a guest guitarist, Jumpin' Jeff Hunsberger, on the intro to the two versions of Bitchin' Camaro recorded this day. And I believe this was the first ever recording of Dean's Dream which is sung by Rodney instead of me. Also, I think the live stereo panning knob twiddling at the end of Milkmen Stomp was done by none other than "that Jonny Wurster kid" who was manning the controls of the cassette deck."

CommentDead Milkmen rehearsal
From Joe: "This is not the entire rehearsal. We did not leave the tape recorder rolling. Rather we started it to capture specific songs during the practice session. We did this at a number of our rehearsals back then and took the best recordings and compiled them onto a tape we called Death Rides a Pale Cow which we sold at shows. I don't think any of these versions ended up on Pale Cow though I could be wrong. There was a small audience of teenagers, friends of Dean's sister, in attendance and it sounds as if one of them joined in on guitar for the extended jam titled "This is Radio Trash" and on "Rastabilly" but I don't recall who it was."
