This is so cool!
Funny thing is, after all the times I've listened to this show, I envisioned a place lit up with a wide stage, maybe even outdoors. It doesn't look that way at all!
Love this part:
There was one tape that had a broken shell and was simply marked “damaged.” It had never been logged, so the content was unknown. Mysteries like these are exactly what compels me in life, so I dug up an old blank 8mm tape and cannibalized it in order to reshell the damaged one. When I played it for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised to discover footage of Jewel at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC on May 17, 1996 - the night before the legendary Paradise show. After approximately 20 minutes, the footage changed and lo and behold, the remainder of the tape was indeed actual footage of the Paradise show.
Alan probably has all kinds of stuff that we're not aware of. Evidently, with some of it, he isn't either!
