Taper Notes:
View Notes* = Originally Recorded By The Misfits. Local H's first show of their first proper tour w/ Brian St. Clair behind the kit. I believe this was his 4th show w/ Scott. This recording is quite legendary for a few reasons.... I'll try to sum up the story if I can... At the time, Local H was writing new material (which would eventually end up on "Here Comes The Zoo" 2 and a half years later). I had started asking the band for taping permission right around this time. I had emailed the Local H "Road Dog" Gabe regarding this a few times prior to the above concert. He was pretty adamant that "no taping" was allowed. I did not listen to him & brought my gear, anyway. When I ran into him at the merch booth, he asked me again, "You taping tonight?", to which I replied, "No! Of course not!". What I didnt tell him was that I had cohearsed 2 of my close friends into doing it with my gear while I went to the front of the stage. If you listen to the show, you can hear them commenting on where I am and also on the show. Quite funny to hear. They did not talk during the music. Show got taped, I got front row, heard new material & was able to bring it home. A win-win. <img src="//web.archive.org/web/2im_/http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/live2cd/thumbsup.gif" alt="thumbsup.gif" /> Now, this is where I made a huge mistake. 10 years ago, "bootlegs" were not available via the web as freely as they are now. The only way to "circulate" your recordings were via snail-mail trades, or eBay. I did not expect to make anything more than the cost of CDs, stamps, envelopes & so on, so I listed on eBay under a different alias. Boy, did that not make the "Road Dog" happy. Or the band, for that matter. I started getting emails from Gabe asking me to pull the recording. After ignoring his emails, I started getting emails stating the band requested this, etc. Then some of the emails got nasty. After I spoke with Gabe (via AOL AIM) and explained the situation, I pulled the auction. I was then told to never give ANYONE the recording and that if I "obided" by his rule, I would get rewarded with a Local H Pack Up The Cats tour jacket when the new record came out. Well, it did not end there. I saw the band a week later in NYC that tour and Scott pretty much called me out on stage in front of the entire club. Go ahead and listen to it, look up 1999-10-27. He then gave me the cold shoulder for 2 years. The irony of this story is how I have went from the idiot kid who listed the Local H show on eBay to completely the opposite. I have since become close w/ the band, have attended nearly 200 of their concerts & have aided in the free sharing of their live recordings here on The Archive and on their bulletin board. I have also done countless amounts of promotion for the band. If you are still with me after reading that story - dont you want to hear the recording now? Im pretty sure it's now safe to share. Oh -- and I never got the PUTC tour jacket, the bastard. I wonder if one <i>ever</i> existed. -Dewey <img src="//web.archive.org/web/2im_/http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a149/live2cd2/localh1999-10-19-image_01.jpg?t=1244761816" alt="localh1999-10-19-image_01.jpg?t=1244761816" /> For more information on Local H, please visit: <a href="http://localh.com/" rel="nofollow">LocalH.com</a>.
