Since we have a bonus post today, let’s get to the collections video now. Good news I think- it appears that the video capture setup is working! I was able to get an ATI TV Wonder 600 USB capture device- it turns out after flushing almost $1k down the toilet, it was the capture device’s fault. Oh well, I guess it was good for the TBC to be recapped…
I am running a few more tapes to test it out, but it looks good so far. Yaaay. 2 months of thrashing around is finally done.

Posting this one early since I am still working on On This Date, and I know people will be heading out to some events today. Be safe and peaceful everyone.
This one is from Tony Philputt’s collection that I picked up from Phil Go a month or so back. Tony either video’d some early midwest shows himself, or I think he got them from the filmer. A lot of unbelievable stuff is in his collection, but they were all commingled with hundreds of other tapes. In fact, there were 24 banker’s boxes full of VHS tapes to go through. It was quite the treasure hunt! It took hours of digging to find Phil’s tapes that he wanted along with tapes from Tony that I think are like this one.
So on to the goods. Man, is this one awesome. There are some serious A/V synch issues but it’s still worth the watch. Quick reminder that you can volunteer at the Sacramento Music Archive nonprofit and work from home and help me fix up things like A/V synch issues- $40/hr of volunteer time in a donation receipt to you. C’mon, what are you waiting for?
This one has out of synch distorted audience audio, then no audio, then more out of synch distorted audience audio, then soundboard audio, then distorted audience audio. All within 10 minutes!
Is that guy at the very end the same guy as the stoned guy meme? The resemblance is uncanny!
There is also a headlining set that I will be posting next month. Thanks Phil and thanks Tony!

Here’s another Doug tape for you all- it looks like there was a partial version of this show out there, but no complete ones. It is hard to tell if the other one on YT is the same recording as this- the other one sounds very different, cuts in mid-show and has a bunch of tape hiss and hum. This one is clean and complete. Thanks Doug! I did not know that YJM played any shows in the US in early 85- I saw him at the Crest in June of 85. Apparently he came over twice to play/tour.

Happy Monday everyone. If you are an Exodus fan, you MUST listen to this. I can’t believe how good this one sounds, given the “early punk/metal days” equipment used. Tour Manager Doug clearly had the magic touch when finding a room’s sweet spot. Not only that, but this is in that time frame where the band were playing some of my favorite sets- a lot from Bonded by Blood (fka “A Lesson in Violence” as the flyer shows) plus the best pre-album tracks- in fact, these might be the best recordings of Death Row, Hell’s Breath and Impaler out there. Baloff’s vocal performance is top notch. This one will be a show I go back to and listen repeatedly. Thanks Doug.

Today’s On This Date in History has been online for years, but not in this quality. The only ones up have substantial generation loss. This one is pretty clean. I had this since the early 90s, but this is an upgrade from @bootlegcowboys VHS collection. Thanks BC!

I found out today that an old friend/acquaintance from the “old days” passed away recently. Chris was in our Roseville/Rockin metal/punk scene in the 1980s and he was lead singer/guitarist of the band Gravelgut. I went to school with drummer Troy Tausch and knew the guys well. I As a tribute, I thought I’d post the one of the only recordings that I have of the band. These demos are pretty damned good, listening after 30 years. Nice job Chris, Dustin and Troy. Sorry to friends and family for your loss. I can also upload a pretty poor sounding recording of the Jones Hall show in 1986, opening for Exodus if you’d like.
The ‘Nebulous Stucco Thing’ was an early experimental spoken word performance ensemble featuring Arthur Butler, Dave White, Gene Avery, B. L. Kennedy, Charlie Aiken, Harrison Thomas and Steve Vanoni. They had one cassette release ”Losing it Big at Carnagie Hall,” 1985? and performed around various venues in Sacramento from 1983 – 1987… other peripheral poets who performed were Victor Wong, Ted Finn, D.R. Wagner, Pat Grizzell and perhaps Scott Soriano…..Video by Steve Vanoni
