Corrupted Morals- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 6/14/87 xfer from master VHS tape Enhanced East Bay Punk

Happy Friday! All of this Aftershock Fest video has thrown my workflow into complete chaos. Both RAIDs are full AND I have at least 2TB more on SD cards that still need to be transferred onto the RAID and processed. Couple that with this Till Lindemann show being a complete pain in the ass to process and you have chaos over here.
Let’s get back to some archival stuff for today. I hope to have Till ready tomorrow- it’s a must-watch! Priest, Maiden, Body Count and more are still sitting on the cards and will be done in a few days.. I hope.
Here is one from Chris Eng’s VHS master- Corrupted Morals from the legendary “Battle of the Bands” show in 1987. There is soundboard audio for these, so expect this to by synched with the board sometime in the future.

Enhanced in Adobe Premiere Elements/Neat Video (denoise- I think. I honestly don’t remember)

Corrupted Morals- 924 Gilman 6/14/87 xfer from VHS Master/1st g tape Angle 2? enhanced Easy Bay Punk

Life has me totally stressed out, so here is a bonus VIDEO post for you today! I was digitizing Chris Eng’s Lazy Cowgirls/Raunchettes tape, and there was 4 minutes of Corrupted Morals sandwiched in between some bands on this tape. It is not marked on the tape, but it seems to be from the “Battle of the Bands” show that took place the day after the Lazy Cowgirls show.
All footage that I recall seeing from that 6/14/87 show was from the elevated soundbooth, so this is a new angle to me. Cool!

The Raunchettes- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 6/13/87 xfer f/master VHS tape Enhanced Bomp Records Garage

Chris Eng also filmed The Raunchettes, who opened for Lazy Cowgirls at that same Gilman show. The Raunchettes were Betsy Raunchette, Geolyn Raunchette, Gi Gi Raunchette, Janice Raunchette, Joan Raunchette, and Kiy Raunchette. I know that is 6 names and there are only 4 people on stage here, but I don’t know which members are in this version of the band. It looks like Betsy Raunchette was likely to be in the band as she was the main guitar player and vocalist. She went on to play in many bands associated with Bomp! records and Sympathy for the Record Industry. Raunchettes have a release on Bomp! as well.

Lazy Cowgirls- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 6/13/87 xfer from master VHS tape Enhanced

Here is yet another early Gilman video from Chris Eng’s collection. I traded with Chris a bunch in the late 80s/early 90s, but there are quite a few of these Gilman videos I don’t recall being on his list.
Those who care about the band will know their history already, but they formed in the mid 80s and played through into the milennium. I know they played Sac a number of times. Pat Todd went on to form Pat Todd & the Rankoutsiders after LZ broke up and they are still active today.

Adrenalin O.D.- WFMU Live in Studio, E Orange NJ 6/11/87 xfer f/ 1st gen audio tape AOD A.O.D. NYHC

I didn’t have time to transfer a tape for today’s post so I poked around the hard drive and found this classic. I digitized some tapes for the AOD reissues and this one didn’t get used, but I really loved the WFMU in studio sets. The one from 1985 with White Flag is the best one, I think. I might have listened to that tape more than their albums.
The quality on this one is decent, but you can tell that they were playing pretty loud in the studio. This performance was just before their US tour in the summer of 87. Sounds like it may be one of the first shows with Keith Hartel (he is referred to as the new kid).

Death Angel- Mabuhay Gardens, San Francisco Ca 6/6/87 Xfer f/ Master VHS Tape Enhanced Thrash Metal

Here is a really cool one from Chris Eng’s collection- an apparently uncirculated Death Angel video from 1987! They played with Condemned Attitude – what a great lineup. The show took place just 6 weeks after the release of their debut LP, The Ultraviolence. Most of us had the demos of some of the tracks for years, but this was their first full length.
I would definitely pay the $3 for this show.

Condemned Attitude- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 6/6/87 xfer from master VHS tape enhanced Adjustment

Let’s make up for the lack of recent Chris Eng video posts this weekend. It’s funny, I was already planning on posting this one sometime this weekend, and Andy called me the other day. I miss that guy- need to hang out sometime soon.
Anyway, this is probably the best quality Condemned Attitude video I have ever seen. There is one of those soundboard camera things from The Farm which is great as well, but this is a full set.
Condemned Attitude formed after the breakup of Attitude Adjustment in 1986- Andy, Rick Strahl and Chris Scaparro joined up with Keith Chatham from Condemned to Death to form the new band. They played Attitude Adjustment songs along with their new compositions. They lasted 6 months or so, then they changed their name to Attitude.
