This is one of the many many tapes with no date. I need help trying to put a date on this one. Leave a post with possible dates. I’m thinking late ’93 or early ’94 based on the intro track.
J and D open the show. J spins.
Part 1 – J spins.
Part 2 – Big O and Faze X do the rundown and the shout outs. J spins again.
Show – May 20th, 1993
This is one of the earlier shows after the jump to Thursdays and into the old Raw Deal slot. This is definitiely one of the the most “classic” Vibes shows of all times. In a nutshell, we had no turntables that night so we tried to mix off the board equipment (not real fresh). So we ended up doing just about anything to fill the 3 hours, poetry, freestyles, lots of shout outs…and of course pure buggin’. All kinds of people in the studio: D, Seyfu, ESV…Alison is the guest board op, D. Crum is on the prose. Seyfu and D. Crum recite the classic “Shields Up”. Like I said…no turntables.
Part 3 – Why part 3? Because this is tape is from set 3. I can’t find the first half tape.
Show – March 10, 1993 – “The Transmitter Is Up – Post Prince”
This is another early show but it’s a rare Wednesday all-house show. Apparently the sorta-legendary Prince Show was the week before and I guess the main transmitter was down (as was fairly common) and we were on the dorm transmitter. I never realized that particular show was only local (on campus and maybe into Trenton)…ah the legend deepens. First cut is actually a Poisoned Ivy house track. That must be why we started with house that night. J and Sel hosting, D on 1’s and 2’s, ESV was MIA. Sel goes “house god” in part 2.
