“Snap” Live Session
KCRW
Studios
Santa
Monica, CA
December
3, 1987
FM broadcast
Interviewer: Deirdre O'Donoghue (R.I.P.) Deirdre had an awesome radio voice and was a strong supporter of The dB’s.
BIG thanks to
markp for the recording & TheCommish for the reup. I used Audacity to do
some minor tweaking (noise reduction, etc.) But the torrent files as I received
them were pretty amazing, compared to the crappy MP3 version I had for many
years.
Fans
of The dB’s seem to be split into two basic camps. Camp A believes the group
wasn’t worth listening to after Chris left the band to pursue a solo career.
Camp B believes the post-Chris, Peter-led dB’s made great albums and played
great shows. Since I’m in the latter camp, I’ll be
posting material from throughout The dB’s career. If you’re in Camp A, you
might want to give this a listen, at least the abbreviated song-only set. It
makes a good case that even without Chris (and even with a brand-new member, as
with this session), The dB’s made compelling music.
Special
highlight: Peter forgetting the words to “O Holy Night”!

Thanks for this.... I too just had MP3s I'd ripped from an old dubbed tape that was missing the first few tracks...
