edger Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Hahaha!! I toooold you! All of your doubt was making me doubt myself so thanks for digging that up. Guess I do have a recollection or two that is still intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I remember it happening but I was camping so I didn't make it. I have a few untracked 99 shows kickin' around on a DVD somewhere. I'll have to dig it up and check if that show is one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 It's crazy reading about shows like this. I couldn't believe when I heard that Dr. Dog had opened for Tim's Myth in Ottawa around 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Certainly drives home the whole notion of economy of scale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to dig it up and check if that show is one of them. If you find it, I'd be glad to help out with uploading it (or any others you find, UM, FatCats, or others).

Esau. Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Thanks Brad, I believe I still have all the necessary programs, cables and gear to transfer, and my LMA account is still good, but I'll keep that in mind, much appreciated. I am kinda motivated to check lately since one of the three main Gourds tapers recently uncovered a few boxes of cassette and DAT masters of recordings he did during the 95-99 years and had asked if I was still doing that sort of stuff and wanted to help out. The thought of hearing & transferring some uncirculated Gourds recordings is kinda exciting and tempting me to set sh!t back up. All the unfinished Fat Cats shows I had on my old PC were dropped onto a unlabeled DVD (dumbass move) when I migrated to my new system last fall and I'm in the middle of a room reno so every CD/DVD/HDD I own is currently packed safely away in boxes but with no organization or reason, so I'll have to sort through everything to find them - hopefully I still have them. The majority of the recordings were either lower quality (loud audience levels), or incomplete (single and half sets etc) hence their not being uploaded when I was doing all the other shows a couple years back. But I'm pretty sure there were a few complete shows, undated, or partial dated (eg: 98 Hamilton) or no venue mentioned at all. Hell I still have the video of the entire DBT show in Hamilton (2006?) to sync and render, if I could just get the motivation (and a video cam again). But that's a back burner project for now.

Was it at the Underground?https://archive.org/details/dbt2006-10-17.CK93.SBD.shnf Aloha,Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Yep, at the underground. I was patched into that source, but unfortunately I forgot my headphones and wasn't able to check the input levels on my video camera so the taper & I just guessed what was a good input level. It turned out too loud, blow out in spots and is pretty much unlistenable. I have an untracked copy of the show though, for easier syncing with the video. I just need to get around to transferring the video to my computer. I'll have to hit my brother-in-law up when he's not busy, he has that equipment.

Hartamophone Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 http://allthings.umphreys.com/setlists/city/Hamilton Umphrey's McGee did open for the Fat CatsWhen Umphrey's played the Big Summer Classic in Ottawa in 2005 they joked about having played Hamilton to an audience of "that guy over there and his buddy," or words to that effect.

edger Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Honestly they were so unknown at the time while I recall the show it was likely definitely a case of people not bothering to show up for the opener. You just never know...I try to make an extra effort to make it in time for opening acts now even when I have no idea who they are. Struck gold with both spirit family reunion and Cadillac Sky that way to name two very pleasant surprises off the tip of my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codehouse Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I actually spoke to Joel about this at Werk Out Festival 2 years ago, he mentioned playing in Hamilton years ago and I just couldn't believe him. Had to check allthings to confirm and sure enough there it was. Mind Blown! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Around the same time, Ominous Seapods also opened for Fat Cats at La Luna. A small handful of us who were fans of OS were less than thrilled with their timeslot and short set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
