The Three O'Clock in Berkeley


THREE O'CLOCK TAPE from early 1980s
I have a tape with the THREE O'CLOCK and Dream Syndicate. It says live in Berkeley. I was wondering from what year and is this a release? Michael does a lot of talking. It's a little Baroque Hoedown heavy. Michael mentions that the record hasn't been released yet. There is some mention of gigs by X and Bad Brains in October 1982.
1. She Turns To Flowers2. With A Canteloupe Girlfriend3. Lucifer Sam4. As Real As Real5. Upside Down6. When I'm A Telephone (never recorded)7. I Go Wild8. Marjorie Tells Me9. Sorry10. Going Home

Dominique Hi

I have downloaded, on dime, last year, a berkeley gig given with the date of october 2 1982. The setlist fits with yours.

If it would help you, here's the copy of info file of the gig :

The Three O'Clock
Berkeley Square, CA, USA
October - 2 - 1982
FM

Tape of unknown generation from a Radio Show received in a trade back in the 80's

Rec. Info:
Cassette of unknown generation -> transfer via Onkyo tapedeck TA-2330 -> Magix Music Cleaning Lab (edit) -> FLAC (44,1 kHz, 16 Bit, Stereo) -> DIME
Excellent sound. This show was on dime already in 2009 (link http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-de...).
I don't know how this compares to my copy.

Great early recording (and phantastic sound, listen to sample) of this outstanding neo-psychedelic band.
The band was just before this show re-named from Salvation Army to Three O'Clock. This is what the radio announcer is telling at the final credits.

As there are some recordings of new shows are circulating I thought it might be worth to upload this.
I included the cover of my tape copy (if this leads to anything?).

Setlist (36:17 min)

01 She Turns To Flowers
02 With a Cantaloupe Girlfriend
03 Lucifer Sam (Pink Floyd)
04 As Real As Real
05 Upside Down
06 Telephone
07 Radio Announcer/Tuning, Banter
08 I Go Wild
09 Marjorie Tells Me
10 Sorry
11 Going Home
12 It's All Too Much (Beatles)
13 I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better (Byrds)

Support the artists, go to their shows, buy their albums.
Do not convert to lossy files, unless for personal use. Don't ever sell!

Three O'Clock 1982:

Michael Quercio: Lead Vocals, Bass
Louis Gutierrez: Guitar
Mike Mariano: Keyboards
Danny Benair: Drums

Take care

Dom

Dominique I don't think so. Not on my hd anyway, maybe hidden on an archive dvd.
If it's actually a Berkeley gig of early Dream Syndicate, it's most likely from 14 may 1982, of which a fm recording is circulating.
