I copied this from a mouse trader in late '98, from his cassette of unknown gen to my dat. All the tape said was "early 95 - Goat House, Washington", so a bit of investigating led me to an art studio in Sammamish WA. The place is apparently known as the Goat House, and Sammamish is right by Issaquah, so it makes sense that this is where the show took place. Judging by the info on the K homepage, this probably happened right around the time they were recording the songs that ended up on Sad Sappy Sucker, and that fits with the setlist.
Sounds like it was recorded with a cheap walkman. Assuming that, it sounds like it's pretty low gen, so that's nice. The earliest mouse I've seen up here was from late '96 so I think you'll want this for the historical significance. I found a site with some old demos and those titles filled in all but one of the gaps in song titles. I still left a ? at the beginning since I'm not sure these are real titles or guesses. Been meaning to put this up for a long time. Hope you like it.

Dear Jose
Thank you
Whoever you are
Thanks for putting this out there. I love following the evolution of my favorite bands, and Modest Mouse is one of the more recent additions to those ranks.
These recordings have been floating around for years but at significantly lower quality - wonder if the original tapes degraded before getting digitized.
"significantly lower quality"
Floating on… k I’ll kill myself now.. but yeah the copies floating around were probably ripped from tape copies that had degraded and perhaps these were from closing to original ones that handy degraded as much… it’s fun how this is just trailer trash
Amazing find. Holy smokes!

Holy hell, this is amazing!! Thanks for uploading!
This is soo awesome and hugely historic for Modest Mouse and Modest Mouse fans. But I think the date is all wrong. I think this is earlier then early 1995. Most likely sometime in early 1994 is my best guess. I say that because by 1995 Modest Mouse was working on the songs that would become the singles "Broke" and "A Life Of Arctic Sounds", the debut double album "This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About, and the ep Interstate 8 as well. All were released in 1996 and all were recorded in September, October, and November in 1995. So I really don't think those songs fit for early 1995. Most likely right around the release of the ep Blue Cadet 3, Do You Connect? on K Records. That was released in 1994. What was meant to be their first album; Sad Sappy Sucker, was shelved and the ep Blue Cadet 3, Do You Connect? was released instead. So my guess, especially based on the songs played, the date is off by a year. Which actually makes this even more significant. Not a single live recording has surfaced from 1994 and so that makes this the oldest known live recoding of a Modest Mouse show. The other one, which comes in at second, which really isn't truly a live recording (but we treat it as such anyways) is basically a live recording session (demo session) Modest Mouse had done in Isaac Brocks garage in Issaquah, WA in 1995. It was released on the Interstate 8 ep labeled as "Live In Sunburst Montana" but it wasn't truly live nor from Montana. It was also shopped around as a demo tape to get attention from a record label and is what got them noticed by Sub Pop and Up Records. So any who, yeah, I would guess the guy got the date wrong by at least a year. This is most definitely from the Sad Sappy Sucker days of 1994.
Thanks, VH1 behind the music!
@@marlorose What? I'm better then VH1. Besides, its not really behind the music, if all I talked about is the music.
@@jodycubbybear34-35I agree with you on the timeline. But, your second comment was kind of silly, mate.
I appreciate your attention to detail and accuracy.
cool! seeing Modest Mouse, the first time, back around 2000 was a significant event in my life.
Cool Driving vids!!!
@@GraycenVT Thanks, haha. Good roads round here! Cheers!
The last song is called Dead end job at the dead letter office
Thank you so much for uploading this. I wonder if any of the Washington state bands that'd hit it big in the years prior might've come across tapes of this early stuff from Modest and other Olympia bands, wonder what they would've thought.
Maybe the scenes were too compartmentalized for that to ever happen.
Also, love the timeless sound of tuning and the general noodling around during the '?' Portion.
Very nice of you to give us such a beautiful treasure my friend
Jeremiah was on it! What a show this must have been.
They recorded with Calvin Johnson of K records in 94. These recordings were released on the Sad Sappy Sucker album.
The good stuff.
thank you
Ahh yes, the good stuff

Wrong.
@@The_Ultimate_Ground_Of_Being no there's quite literally demos floating around from 1993. their first commercially released ep was 1994. so no, this is not the first ever modest mouse recording. still cool but its wrong.
