The Membranes- Bogart’s, Cincinnati Oh 10/6/87 transfer from 1st gen VHS tape Punk

Here’s another one from Tony Philputt’s VHS tapes, by way of Phil Go. Is this really the Membranes from England? They had records out at the time, but that bill is insane- Redd Kross, Membranes AND a pre- anything released Afghan Whigs? I wonder if this was a one-off or if it was a tour. Regardless, it kicks ass.

The video, however, does not kick ass. It’s decent but the audio is distorted and the lighting is very red, which always gave older cameras trouble. I wonder if there is Afghan Whigs video from this night.

Red Hot Chili Peppers- Ritz, New York City 10/31/87 complete show audio

Bonus post today, thanks to Angelo Bertini! He told me what to do and got this RHCP show digitized. No known lineage, but it has an odd printed tape label which makes me wonder if it was a bootleg being sold at record shows. It has that look.
Not too bad of a recording, probably a Sony D3 or equivalent.
If YOU want to tell me what to do, check out the patreon at the link below.

R.K.L.- KUSF Interview with Barry and Chris October 1987 xfer band archive cassette Rich Kids LSD

Crap, I am falling behind on the daily posts. Work and family is keeping me way too busy.
Here is another really fun tape from Barry Ward’s collection. This one has him and Chris (I think) talking about the band’s history and the new Rock N Roll Nightmare LP. They played some album tracks as well. Good stuff! I don’t know if Barry taped this himself, but the tape had a little damage so you will hear some dropouts.
