I was a bit late to the Old 97s party. I remember hearing their song 'Salome' on Radio 1190 in the late 90s and loving it. I was just starting to dig into alt.country/cowpunk/american bands around then. Recall picking up Too Far To Care or maybe Fight Songs soon after. Been a fan ever since.
Did see them live until the tours for the Satellite Rides album. The first time I attempted to catch them was at Tulagi in March of 2001. Due to completely avoidable events in retrospect I missed all of their set except for the encore. Which was amazing.
So I think this set from October of 2001 is my first complete show. 90+ minute set and tons of great songs. I always appreciated how they would mix it up night after night. And they have so many good songs no way they can play them all.
'The Other Shoe" is eliminated from this recording because I went to take a piss and get a drink.
There was an initial encore break after 'Big Brown Eyes' but I used that opportunity to swap out minidiscs so there is no recorded break in that place.
I know I traded this out on CDR back at the start of the aughts. This version has all of me yelling out "Time Bomb!!" eliminated. Some other minor edits and tweaks. I consider this an upgrade to that CDR version.
Enjoy
