Expolited- Living Room, Providence RI 1/27/88 Xfer from master Juni Bravo Archive

Thanks Randy Everend- venue is Living Room, Providence RI 1/27/88 JUNI BRAVO ARCHIVE: I bought a bunch of live VHS tapes of Ebay about 6 months ago. I bought them mainly for a Bad Religion Multicam from 1988 that was uncirculated, but I got a while box of VHS tapes. The tapes were intriguing enough for me to try to find out who Juni is- it turns out that she was a Video archivist from the mid- to late-80s based in San Diego & texas. She followed the Exploited on tour in 1988 and produced the “Anarchy in the USA” VHS tape for them. She passed away a couple of years ago and (unbeknownst to me) some guy was selling her stuff off. I decided to post the stuff that was OK to post publicly to be sure Juni got her due, and to let fans of the band see this stuff- there is some gold in here. I also NEED YOUR HELP with some of this stuff. The tapes were poorly labeled so I don’t know who some of the bands are, and I don’t know most of the venues. Any help identifying stuff is appreciated.

7 Seconds- The Boathouse, Norfolk Va. 7/27/88 xfer from unknown gen VHS tape

I’m trying to mix it up each day and provide a mix of audio and video. I love seeing 7 Seconds shows when they are on tour. I don’t know why, but the Sacramento shows they played over the past 10 years did not have the same crowd energy as these. This one is a lot of fun to watch- the crowd and the band are totally into it!
The guy who filmed this seems to have posted the Circle Jerks set from this night, but not the 7 Seconds portion. I wonder why. I will be forever bummed that the Circle Jerks did not give me permission to film that June 1988 show. This guy must have had connections!

Dokken- Arco Arena, Sacramento ca 1/24/88 xfer from master audio cassette Aerosmith

Here is the last Jim Edwards recording for now. Let’s hope that he uncovers some more tapes- he mentioned that there may be more.
This is Dokken’s opening set for the Aerosmith show that I posted a couple of weeks back.
Someone on youtube was asking about this set- he said that Dokken and George Lynch were as far apart from each other as possible during the show. It must have been a bummer to be dysfunctional right when you were seeing some popularity.

Aerosmith- Arco Arena, Sacramento Ca 1/24/88 xfer from master audio cassette

I am usually not good about posting stuff on the anniversary of a performance, but I did this one for a couple reasons:
First, Jim Edwards recently reached out to me and let me know that he taped some shows around Sacramento back in the 1980s. I have 2 tapes with 3 bands so far, with(hopefully) more to come. Thanks Jim! This is one of those 3 sets.

The second reason is a bit more personal. Today is my Mom’s birthday, and she would have been 73 if she was still alive. She passed in 2006 (at 55, younger than I am now) due to cancer. She was not married in ’06 and I am her only child, so it was me and my aunt (and another friend) taking care of her for the last year… so I got a front row seat into the whole diagnosis/treatment/hope/decline spiral. Don’t smoke, kids.
Aerosmith was her favorite band- she would crush on Steven Tyler and she would see them whenever they were in Sacramento. In fact, I bet she was at this show.
This is the first hour of the show. Jim thinks he has part 2, so I will share that once it is found.

Christ on Parade- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca. 1/24/88 Live Soundboard East Bay Punk Audio Only Remix

OK, finally back to it. Expect a bunch of OLD remixed soundboards from the bay area in the next week or so.
The first one is a short one from Eric Mcintire’s collection. It looks like I have a longer version of this show from the old 1980’s tape trading days… so I’ll get that one up someday. CoP were one of my all time favorite bands- happy that so many tapes exist during my favorite “mind is a terrible thing” era.

Victims Family- Chatterbox, San Francisco Ca 1/23/88 Master Video tape-DVD

Thanks to Alfie Kulzick, we have here a Victims Family video that seems to be the earliest one online. The earliest ones that I had seen before this were 2 that I taped- in July and August of 1988. Wow, thanks Alfie!

The audio on this one is not good at all, but the picture quality is pretty nice. It leans heavily on the Things I Hate to Admit LP, with some of the Voltage and Violets album in there as well. Awesome 65 minute set.
There was one odd bass/vocal rap thing that I did not recognize.

Attitude-924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 1/16/88 Turk St Studios SF 1/17/88 xfer f/ VHS Adjustment Condemned

Today’s post comes from Gary Shurtleff’s collection. I helped to film this one- the part I shot is about midway through the Gilman set- I think Wayne filmed the stage angle, and then I did some of the show while standing on a chair in the crowd. They let me borrow the camera for RKL’s set, which is how I filmed that show. I never had a decent copy of this one- I was so happy to see it on one of Gary’s tapes.
They sold this through MRR and Flipside and it has the Gilman set plus a short bit at the end from Turk St. Studios the next day.

R.K.L.- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca. 1/16/88 xfer from VHS Master Live Enhanced

Here is the second concert I ever filmed. I did not have a camera yet, but Andy Andersen & Wayne Vanderkuil rented a camera to record Attitude and they let me borrow it for RKL’s show(thanks guys). Special thanks to Jason Ellis for loaning me a used VHS tape that he had in the car so I could tape the RKL master over the top. PUNK ROCK.
Btw, I still don’t have a clean copy of that Attitude show…

Operation Ivy- The Place, Davis Ca 1/8/88 transfer from master audio tape

Thanks to Todd Pritchard for asking for this one- he told me what to do and you can as well over on Patreon. This is another tape that was misplaced for years and the move resurfaced it.

Man, this sounds way worse than I remember. I thought that I used my stepdad’s Montgomery Ward boom box which had amazing mics, but The Place was never known for sounding great. I worked way too hard to EQ the distortion out and then rebuild it in izotope. Still meh. But hey! New Operation Ivy recording!

The Place was a tiny house converted into a teen center/music venue which was torn down to build this parking garage you see here. It had hard tile or linoleum floors and wood paneling walls. It was an acoustic nightmare.

I think Op Ivy played here 3 times- I taped this one and Ken Doose taped another of the 3.

Neurosis- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 1/2/88 xfer f/low gen VHS tape

It’s 7pm and you haven’t heard from me. What is up with that? It was a busy day. Got to go to DMV.. enough said.

I think that this is another Steve Von Till recording. He did a few shows early on and then started playing in bands instead, haha. My tape cuts off mid-set. I don’t know if he has the entire thing. Maybe we’ll find out when I pick up his collection someday.

I am pretty sure this is 2nd gen
