Mermen 11/09/95
Warfield Theater, San Francisco, CA

"The Mermen were a good opener as they always were, but they were an especially appropriate fit opening for Morphine. The crowd was polite, easy to usher, and remarkably well dressed. Listening to the tapes now, I’m proud how well the sound came out. This is in no small part to the high quality of the musicians playing, but also to the skill of the sound people. Bands that play this sharp are easier to mix regardless, since they were only a three piece, but they were rock steady. The tapes came out so good, they borderline almost being commercially viable, though I’d never sell them. As spectacular as the show was, there was no poster given out that night unfortunately."


"I kept my recorder in a fanny pack, the dorkiest male accessory ever invented. In hindsight, my unfashionable appearance may very well have provided cover for me. Nobody suspects the nerd, eh? When the lights went down, I pulled out the earbud from the pack and lurked at the end of my aisle.""

"My bootlegs are of such low quality, they’re barely listenable."

- not much signal above 5khz
- since as usher he moved around soundfield changes
- adjusted global gain and retracked to start at beinning of pieces
- no other adjustments performed
- do not know if this was the complete performance
