Here’s one that hardcore fans of this band will probably enjoy, and there seems to be quite a few fans out there.
This one comes from Chris Eng’s collection and it was on the same VHS tape as that Annihilation from Rock on Broadway that I posted last month. No idea where it came from.

Merry Christmas to all you Christians. Here’s some nice Christmas music from Thin White Rope.
I had uploaded the raw version of this a couple weeks back when I got it back from the tape restore company, but Adobe Premiere would not read the file. I asked the company what codec they used for transfer and they were all “it has no codec, it is lossless”. I gave up on it for a bit… then I was able to figure out how to make it work, thanks to avidemux. (sorry, extreme nerd talk today). So if anyone ever needs to know what codec a file is using, avidemux baby.
Anyway, here is the brightened and degrained version of the show. Enjoy.

This one has a story. A couple years ago, Jozef Becker(TWR Drummer) loaned me some TWR VHS/Beta tapes to digitize and post on Sac Music Archive. One of them would not play- the tape felt like it was seized in the shell. I had a re-shell done here in Sac and still no luck. I gave him back the empty shell with all of the info written on the label. I took a picture and kept it in the folder with all of my other tape pictures.
So I recently discovered pacifc video repair up in Washington. I sent this tape in and they told me that the tape was pretty much shot, but they could lubricate the tape and try to play it back… so that’s what I had done. They had to do a bunch of lubrication passes and then a lossless transfer there in the shop. The tape now plays for about the first 20min then craps all over my heads and won’t play anymore. I am so glad that they were able to get the transfer done.
So, $113.09 later, here you go. I went to find the picture of the tape so I could fill in the info, and I apparently did not transfer that data over to the new RAID last year.
