Here’s another installment from the DVD posting project. I am working through my DVDs and posting anything that is Sacramento-related, alphabetically. We are about 1% done so far.
Anyway, here is a nicely shot 7 seconds show from Cambridge ma in 1987. It’s too bad the video is so generated, a clean transfer off the master would probably look great. Anyway, great show from a great era of the band.

NOTE- This tape had issues for 1st 5min. Forward to 5min if you can’t take the quality at beginning*
As I was digging out the old C.O.C. tapes from Sacramento to post, I remembered this one. This was recorded (with the band’s permission) with Mark Denizczuk’s 4 track recorder. Lineage= Master tape-Jim Utz copy-my copy
KILLER recording and a great set. It sounds like the crowd was crazy and the power blew out at least once.
Recorded by: Luther (soundman) & Mark Deniszczuk

Equipment used: Nakamichi Dragon, Audiophile 2496 card, Reaper, Sony Sound Forge for normalization
The Exploited, D.R.I., Dr. Know, Dag Nasty, Outcasts Of Society

This was probably one of the most memorable punk shows that Stewart Katz put on. It was PACKED and skinheads were beating the hell out of each other. Dag Nasty stops one song due to fighting, and Peter Cortner changes lyrics to another. They also took a stab at Stewart during the show.
I also met my best friend, “Anonymous”, at this show. 30+ years later and we are still good friends. He taped this show witn an Aiwa hanheld recorder- excellent results.
Recorded by: Anonymous
Equipment Used: Aiwa Handheld Recorder
Enhancement: Bass boost/midrange drop/normalize in Sony Sound Forge.
This lineup was ridiculously stacked- when Dag Nasty opens the show, you know it’s good. Dr. Know was up second and Kyle Toucher was doing a little guitar butt-play behind Stewart Sacramento Katz while Stew was trying to introduce them.. that’s why you hear so much cheering there.
And, Dr. Know has always kicked ass. Man, what a great band. Kyle, when is that new album going to be ready??
I had a video planned to post today, but the youtube copyright bots had other plans. Here is another Borman 6 post- this time it is a board tape from Spanky’s in sacramento. I am surprised as to the quality of the mix- whenever I tried to tape at Spankys, the board mix was terrible. In fact, I have 1 tape that is all vocals. That’s all they mic’d.
You are probably wondering why the photo for this post is a batteries & bulbs store. This store is the building that used to by Spankys. I tried to find a picture of the club from back in the 80s. No luck.

The Skull post was supposed to be yesterday’s post, but youtube has been horrible in rendering videos into HD and 4k. I have had a 4k video in “processing HD version” status since Saturday night! This is today’s post.
Anyway, Eric McIntire gave me a box of stuff that had a bunch of Seattle stuff that seems uncirculated. Here’s the first- you’ll be getting these audio posts over the next week or so. Not the greatest quality, but you can still hear what’s going on.
