I had a few chances to see Harvest back in the day. Once in the early spring of 1998 and then in the late summer of 98. Michigan Fest was early spring. Honestly, there were so many bands that I can’t even recall seeing Harvest. You try remembering every set from 30+ bands into 2-3 days. Not with my memory. And then they played the fall in Worcester. Again, they were slightly overshadowed by the bands they played with. Saves The Day and Bane … plus The Sheist. It’s hard to compete for space in my head when stacked up against those two. Especially for an event that occurred nearly 13 years ago. Of course, the one thing that sticks out in my memory is merch. Both Bane and Harvest had orange tees with blue ink. I distinctly recall Blair buying the Harvest tee because he “already had a Bane shirt.” He would later regret his choice. blasphemourrecords picked this one up in 1997 at the New Britain Sports Complex. That’s some Jaybil steez. And the longsleeve. 3 sided. Sharp look. Not very pos. Not something Jaybil would sport …
