Here's a mostly complete live soundboard recording of DRI at The Farm in San Francisco. It's a good set, but far from perfect sound-wise. The first half sounds pretty different from the 2nd half. I tired to fix what I could in Izotope, but there's only so much I could do when the mix fluctuates as dramatically as this one does. Still, a decent soundboard otherwise, and a good set at a legendary spot. Who's got a flyer or some memories of this show? - DH
DRI - October 25th, 1986 @ The Farm, San Francisco, CA
I come across a lot of demos on this journey digitizing old tapes, some are decent, some I'll only listen to once, but then there's some like this one from OPINION ZERO, where it's a total banger. I usually think hardcore or punk demos should stick to being under 10 minutes, but this one defies that thinking. I couldn't imagine cutting anything. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they ever had any official release, so if this is the only available recording, I'm glad it's long and full of solid tunes, and not a short 4 song tape. Enjoy the demo! - DH
