1992-12-05 sat Kai Kln at Whispering Clam Room, Duffy's Tavern, Chico, CA
Opening for the Motherhips, confirmed here: MOTHER HIPS GIGOGRAPHY at THE TAPER'S ALMANAC
Unknown analogue audience tape, here's the history:
Unknown taper saw Larry Boothroyd (Bass player of Victim's Family) wearing a Kai Kln tee shirt while Larry was visiting a friend in the SF building that the taper resided. That taper made a copy of his mastered cdr(0) for Larry and then Larry made a copy for Neil. I do not have the source information nor do I have any idea what software was used in the copying. I used EAC to rip Neil's copy to my computer, Sound Forge 6.0 to join original tracks 8, 9 & 10 (the taper must have split Thirteen by mistake) and 12 & 13 (track 13 was just crowd noise), and FLAC frontend to compress the show. You can hear the tape flip between Thirteen and Whipping Post.
