The Misfits and Necros-Community Cable Commercial Last Show Graystone Detriot 10/29/83 Umatic Master

This one is from Russ Gibb’s collection. I got this one off Ebay years ago and now that the good umatic machine has been repaired, it finally gets a proper transfer. This is a 30 second commercial for the last Misfits show ever, taken right off the original TV production master tape.

GLENN AND HIS COPYRIGHT MINIONS- PLEASE READ:
I know that you guys like to give out takedown notices and copyright strikes, but please hear me out on this one. This video is ineligible for me to monetize- Glenn is getting EVERY PENNY of streaming revenue from this. It also doesn’t show this Misfits performing at all- there is nothing to hate about this. I paid over $30 for this tape and I am getting nothing for it, so think of this as my gift to you. Don’t throw away my gift. OK? Thanks.

Recorded/Produced by: Russ Gibb and crew

Equipment used: Sony BVU-800, Datavideo TBC-1000, Tevion USB adapter into virtualdub

AC/DC- Cow Palace, San Francisco Ca 10/19/83 xfer from master audio cassette Angus Young Full Show

One more Tour Manager Doug post for the week- this one sounds pretty nice for a loud arena show. That little walkman could take some volume without distorting.
I posted a copy of the ticket stub from the show back when I posted the Fastway (opener) set a while back, but I found an actual photo from this show online so I figured I would use this one this time.
It looks like this one found its way online, but this one should be superior quality, as it comes right off Doug’s tape.

Fastway- Cow Palace, San Francisco Ca 10/19/83 xfer f/master audio cassette Flogging Molly Motorhead

Back to Doug’s treasure chest of shows. Here is a Fastway opening set for AC/DC back in 1983. I got to see the band around this time and they were damned good live. It was nice seeing Fast Eddie Clarke playing- I was a little too young to see him with Motorhead. It it still mind-blowing to me to hear Dave King (Flogging Molly’s vocalist and main guy) performing here. What a career transition! It turned out alright for him.
This set sounds pretty good for being the cavernous Cow Palace. Doug always found the sweet spot of the venue.

D.O.A.- Club Minimal, Sacramento Ca. 10/7/83 xfer from master videotape

Bonus post for you all today.

Big thanks to Ken Doose for alerting me of this youtube post by Terry O’Reilly. Terry posted some Club Minimal crowd footage before, so I subscribed to his channel but he posted this on a different one. So glad he filmed some bands at Club Minimal!

The footage is dark to start and then the picture is garbled for a bit, but it gets a lot better about 33 minutes in.
