Thirty Years Ago there was a memorial concert for 2 musicians that left us way too soon.
One last plane ride was one too many and we are left with only memories.
The world mourned Rick Nelson but we had friends on that plane with him.
This is dedicated to Ricky Intveld and Patrick Woodward.
IN MEMORY of TWO COOL CATS
Featuring the Blasters with other major L.A. Bands from the Hollywood rockabilly and emerging alternate country music scene of the 1980's.

* Certain sets had a rustling or thumping sound during some of the quieter passages.
Not exactly sure what it was caused by but it sounds like tape transport rumble.
The worst is/was during the Lone Justice, Wild Cards and James Intveld sets.
Most sets did not have this noise at all.
Revisiting this recording a few years later with new software that was able to reduce this noise quite a bit.
Filtering only applied on the noisy tracks.

2016: iZotope RX4 advanced (reduce rumble in a couple sets using the "attenuate unwanted event" tool below 100Hz)
Many song titles are unknown and are designated as (?).
Any help on the setlist is greatly appreciated.
Thanks to the door man (forgot your name) for getting Mario and I in the back door and the sound man for letting me set up in his cramped booth.
We were regulars here at this time and knew everyone in the club but couldn't get in the front door because of all the celebrities showing up (we had tickets).
Set the equipment up about 35 feet from the stage in a small balcony with the sound man.
Placed the microphones in front of the soundboard sticking out over the edge.
Turned out the yakking section was right below the microphones.
The Lone Justice set is the most affected because of the low volume of their music.
It was a long show and I was chatting it up with friends so I missed the tape flips in places.
Oh well.

James Intveld joined the Blasters a few years later as the guitarist and later moved to bass.
If anyone has a recording of any of those shows I would be their best friend if they shared them!
