Page Three- Heartbreak Hotel, St. Louis Mo. 12/19/84 xfer from Beta master tape Enhanced

Another Page Three post from Robert Kuhlmann’s collection of beta tapes that I transferred a while back.
Here’s what Robert says about this show:
“I think the Christmas Show as a last minute fill in when one of the touring bands cancelled. That video brings back a lot of memories…Joe Williams, a dear friend and former Jet Lag editor was writing for the ST Post at the time. He loved Page Three and would often jump up to do vocals on Boys Dont Cry.”
Those old beta cameras had some nice microphones- sounds really good. Some parts of the stage were pretty dark, so I bumped up the brightness as much as I could without making Robert glow like a lightbulb.

Dicks- Rock Against Rent, SF Civic Center Plaza, San Francisco 12/8/84 Audio only soundboard remixed

I don’t usually post unknown generation tapes here- I try to keep it to stuff I taped, or stuff others taped. But every once in a while, an exception is warranted. Here is a tape I had never seen circulated before- and given the band and the location, it was worth a post. It cleaned up pretty nicely in Izotope as well.
From Eric McIntire’s collection

Dead Kennedys- On Broadway, San Francisco December 1984 Audio Only xfer from low gen soundboard tape

Here is a potential rarity from Eric Mcintire’s collection. I say potential because it seems implausible that there is still an uncirculated DK sbd that was in trading circles back in the 1980s.
This show came from a person in Ashland, Oregon- same guy who had the uncirculated Dicks soundboard from SF. The setlist is about right for the december 1984 period, and if you look at setlist.fm, it was clear that they were mixing up the setlists at every show in december. A random guy jumps onstage about 15min in and mentions San Diego, but he is somewhat unintelligble so who knows if this is a San Diego show mislabeled. The first 6 minutes seem to be from a different show, and DRI is headlining that show. Anyway, if someone can help me sort this out, please let me know
