--Recording notes--
I recorded this show by plugging into a soundboard feed that was piped outside the club to an Econoline van
in the parking lot. I brought my reel deck because you never know if you're going to be able to talk your way
into a board feed. As it turns out, a teacher from my recording engineering school in San Francisco was doing
the sound and allowed me to plug into the board. So I got to record the show, but I didn't actually see the show.
Instead I froze my ass off in a van in the parking lot. The stuff one does to preserve a show on tape :-) -
NOTE: During the song breaks you will hear faint music. This is due to print-through, a process that occurs when
reel tape is stored for long periods of time. fStop (aka Ed Perlstein - MusicImages.com)
Timbercreek/Kingfish
The Chateau Liberté was a legendary joint in the Santa Cruz Mountains, hard to find and harder to get to
(at 22700 Old Santa Cruz Highway in Los Gatos). It was known as a biker gang hangout (supposedly the
Gypsy Jokers), and was apparently not for the faint, but all who recall it think of it fondly. The Doobie Brothers
got their start as the house band there around 1970. The Chateau Liberte show must be the first gig where Weir
is an advertised member of Kingfish. Timbercreek was a Santa Cruz Mountains band who had previously been
known as Mose. They have an interesting site, for those people interested in the long gone rock and roll scene in
the Santa Cruz Mountains back in the day.
