Opening for Kevn & Mickel Kinney & Peter Buck.

...I was suspecting that the opening band may be r.e.m. performing under one of their pseudonyms (e.g., Hornets Attack Victor Mature) because really, who would name a band the Presidents of the United States of America? I was ready to roll tape if I recognized anyone getting on stage. Out came Jason Finn (being a Love Battery fan, I recognized him instantly)and I got ready to record...

And I am really, really, REALLY glad I did. Christ, how could you not love these guys? What a score to stumble upon and have the extra tapes at the ready! I went back to Portland and started spreading the gospel of the Presidents to anyone who would listen. I've got a few other early shows to digitize as well, 1 more from '94 and 1 from '95. From what I understand from Zeke, this *may be* the earliest Presidents show in circulation.

enjoy, it rocks, and is quite funny to boot. Go figure. If you can't appreciate the Presidents, then your fun muscle is seriously atrophied.
