Taper Notes:
View Notesthe band: Jennifer Condos (bass, vocals) Frank Simes (guitar, vocals) Ian Wallace (drums) Warren Zevon (vocals, guitar, keyboards, harmonica) This master recording may not land Warren Zevon in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, but I’m happy to introduce it to the collector community. And may it please the nominating committee. San Francisco was the third Northern California date on Zevon’s Millennium Paranoia tour in the winter of 1990. Slim’s is Boz Scaggs’ place, so the sound was good, but taping was a shot in the dark: we sat in the balcony, which felt miles away from the PA. Around us, waiters delivered dishes, clanged empties, and filled water glasses. Luck being what it is, I remember those as minor distractions more than I hear them now. My friend Walt made sure we had good equipment. Newer material comprised about half the set. That was music to the ears of fans who enjoyed Zevon’s comeback LP “Sentimental Hygiene” (made with R.E.M. backing him) and 1989’s “Transverse City,” a dark record where songs contemplate things falling apart. Here, three of them appear as a long segment; in others, he and his terrific band improvise. I don't recall trading this tape. Now, it joins perhaps a half-dozen other recordings from Zevon's winter/spring 1990 tour. Its set list appears shorter than others from that time, which clock in around 17 songs. And to think I used a 110! Still, we get about an hour and 20 minutes of music. Thanks to Walt (11 years gone) for joining me, loaning me his rig, and for being a knowledgable, enthusiastic fan and friend. My old comrade BK at JEMS took the helm for the transfer and conservation of sound. Thank you to him, too. Lastly, let's hope that David Letterman can soon reprise his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction duties. Standing in for Neil Young, his remarks honoring Pearl Jam hit the mark; imagine what he would have to say on behalf of Warren Zevon, who called the television legend “the best friend my music ever had.” Share this freely, and for free! - slipkid68
