Thin White Rope- Olive Pit, Davis Ca. 11/22/86 xfer from band BETA tape Live Enhanced
Thanks once again to Jozef Becker for allowing me to borrow and digitize his TWR videos. This one was so dark that you could hardly see anything at all. I was able to brighten & increase exposure in adobe premiere, then de-noise with Neat video. Now you can see something, and it sounds pretty damned good.
fIREHOSE- Mississippi Nights, St. Louis Mo. 11/8/86 Proshot KDHX Cable Xfer f/Master
Here’s another one from the “how the hell is this not on YT yet” file. From Jim Utz’ collection. Off of a master VHS tape, taped off of cable. There is no studio master of this one as far as I know, so this is as good as it gets.
Sonic Youth- Mississippi Nights, St. Louis Mo. 11/8/86 xfer from master VHS Proshot KDHX Cable
Man, some of these early KDHX videos are DARK. This one is super dark and a little pixelated, but still far superior than the other version on YT now. From Jim Utz’ collection
Mike Watt and Thurston Moore- Interview, Mississippi Nights, St. Louis Mo. 11/8/86 Xfer Master
This is an awesome interview- Mike and Thurston get onstage to interview each other and heckle the audience. They appear to be feeling no pain. That tour must have been fun.
From Jim Utz’ collection
VHS master (taped off cable)- DVD (consumer DVD recorder)
Fishbone- Mississippi Nights, St. Louis Mo. 11/5/86 xfer from master VHS off studio Umatic
There are still a LOT of VHS tapes to be digitized (over 1,000) over here. I have done some as people have asked for things, but I have not started to do them all yet. Someone posted a link of the well-circulated Fishbone show from St. Louis 1986 and I noticed that the quality of the show on youtube is not very good, and the show is incomplete. So, I guess I’ll need to get to posting some of these.
This is the 1 hour version of the show that includes interview clips with the band. This came from KDHX directly- this is a VHS tape right off of their 1/4″ master tape. Huge thanks to Jim Utz & Dede Schofield for giving these to me 20ish(30?) years ago.
