Note about recording:
The tape was only labeled as being from St. Louis without venue or date. Based on the material and band line-up, the 
recording is clearly from 1996. There is no mention of a 1996 St. Louis gig in the "At This Hour" mailers that the band 
used to send out to fans which are archived at http://spindoctors-archive.com/download/atthishour.html .  However, on 
setlist.fm, I found mention of a gig at Union Station in St. Louis on May 25, 1996, so I am assuming that is the correct
date for the recording. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/spin-doctors/1996/union-station-st-louis-mo-4bf007be.html


This is Giblin Tape #34

Note on the Giblin Tapes:
A series of approximately 100 master cassettes of Spin Doctors live recordings appeared in a second-hand store in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The store found Mark White (the bassist of the Spin Doctors) via Facebook and told him about them.  Eric Brodsky, with financial help from a number of fans, arranged for the tapes to be purchased and David Landsberger picked them up from the store. The tapes are gradually being digitized and made available on archive.org.

The tapes appear to be some of the master recordings of Sean Giblin based on both the content and the handwriting on the tapes.  Most of the recordings are from between 1991-1993, with a few exceptions.  Sean worked for the Spin Doctors for many years and was a good friend to the greater Spin Doctors community. Unfortunately, he passed away early. How his cassettes ended up in the second-hand store approximately 10 years after his passing is unknown.

The audio source of most of the cassettes is unknown. From my memory, Sean recorded his cassettes on a Sony D5. When recording from microphones, I believe he mostly used Nakamichi 300s.  However, as he ran the monitor system for the Spin Doctors, many recordings come from the monitor system. Others seem to be a more traditional soundboard source.

These recordings are being released in memory of Sean.
