Camper Van Beethoven- King’s Head Inn, Norfolk Va 8/11/86 xfer from 2nd gen soundboard cassette

it’s a LATE post from the collections today. I had posted a bunch of spoken word stuff from Anonymous’ collection so I decided to digitize some of the other tapes in his collection… 7 hours and 10gb later and I now have a few months worth of stuff to post.

This one isn’t great quality but it isn’t online or on archive dot org. I decided to put it up to recognize the CVB shows happening at The Fillmore this weekend. I have tickets but I am still waiting for a camera pass. Sigh.

The show starts out with some in-your-face violin from Jonathan during Abundance, then the mix settles down a bit. I tried to fix it in Izotope but I don’t know if I made it better or worse. Oh well.

fIREHOSE- Beach Scene, Cabrillo Beach, San Pedro, CA, USA 8/2/86 xfer f/1st gen audio tape Mike Watt

It’s a late collections post tonight. This one is from my collection. It was a late era cassette trade, after I had primarily stopped trading cassettes and did DAT only. This person taped this set, Circle Jerks from Street Scene in L.A. and a bunch of other rare stuff.. unfortunately, the quality of the recordings are not great. I EQ’d this one to get rid of the shrill high end and boost the bass, but it is still a pretty tough listen until about 3 minutes in.

And look at that schedule. I am not sure if you can see it, but firehose is way at the top left, playing at 10am after mayor Tom Bradley spoke!

Recorded by: I can’t remember, but I got it from the taper

False Liberty- New Method, Emeryville Ca 8/2/86 master audio cassette Seattle Hardcore Sunn O)))

It’s Mediocre Monday! Woohoo! Here is another time capsule recorded by Wayne Vanderkuil, from New Method once again. Recording quality is a bit rough, but where else are you going to hear a False Liberty tape from a warehouse squat(with beer being served from a detached bathroom) in 1986?
False Liberty were a Hardcore Punk band from Seattle. Greg Anderson (Southern Lord Records co-founder, Sunn O))), and many more) was on vocals, Justin Vaccaro on guitar, Pete Holden on bass and Victor Hart (Brotherhood) on drums.
It doesn’t sound that bad, all things considered.
I love Wayne’s comment “oh wow, they sound like DRI” after the first song. Indeed.
