Juliana Hatfield- Sam The Record Man 1993


I had more requests for early Juliana Hatfield and since I've been enjoying her new "covers" album so much, I'll try to post another band show and maybe some Blake Babies as well. Juliana is on tour with the Lemonheads (opening for the Psychedelic Furs) upcoming in October and then Juliana and Evan Dando will be touring Australia in December. Hopefully some fans will be bringing their tape recorders to capture these shows. If I hear of anything, I'll share the shows here or post the links.

I meant to post this show as a tribute to Record Store Day back in April (opting instead for Paul Westerberg) and it's a good "up close" performance inside the legendary Sam The Record Man store in downtown Toronto (close to Dundas Square) which has sadly been closed since 2007. A good sounding audience recording that captures Juliana solo acoustic, circa, the Become What You Are record. A loose and relaxed Juliana plays this in-store and later that evening at Lee's Palace. I'll try to track down that show too.
Enjoy!

    Wow man! I came across your blog looking for Weeping Tile; scrolled through; saw Blake Babies & thought 'damn, I wish there were digital cameras back in the day' because at 15, I went downtown T.O. to see Juliana. I got really excited when I came across this post because I thought this was video. I was right in front of her! Damnit!

    Thanks for the memories though! I was late going back to work in Scarborough that evening with Scarb. Parks & Recreation

    Many thanks for this post. I never saw this in store show before, I've had the Lee show for years but didn't know this was out there.

    It was nice to see the Sam The Record Man store. I spent thousands of dollars there even before I worked there in 1980-81. Then I had an employee discount, so I spent thousands of dollars on more records. The whole block was razed years ago and something else sits there now.

    Nice! I always wanted to work at a record store! That Sam's was huge, I would have spent more than I made if I worked there.
