Final Conflict- 924 Gilman, Berkeley 1/2/88 xfer from low gen VHS tape Enhanced Hardcore

As discussed yesterday, here is the Final Conflict set from Gilman. This one looks a little darker than the Half Off, it just might be due to Ron wearing a black shirt making it seem that way.
here’s what I wrote yesterday about this show:
Wayne Vanderkuil, our long-time friend and contributor to the archive, sent a box over with a few VHS tapes earlier this week. One of them had this show- I have had this on VHS since the late 80s, but this copy is way cleaner. We think it is off of a 1st gen copy, but not 100% sure so we’ll call it “low gen” for now.
I am surprised that I don’t have the soundboard tapes from this show. It seemed that every Gilman show was taped back then… (edit- there are board tapes in Wayne’s collection, so we’ll probably repost this once we get to those tapes… and if the mix is decent)
This video was super dark- I think it was filmed with one of those external cameras cabled into a portable VCR- when people move, they look see through. EARLY home video tech. I was able to improve it quite a bit with Adobe and Neat Video. Thanks Wayne!

Recorded by: ? (we have some ideas but not sure)

Captain 9s and the Knickerbocker Trio- 6 Song Demo xfer from Master Tape Late 80s I think

Hi, We are prepping a “Sacramento Concert Archive” website, so I am focusing on getting as much greater Sacramento area related stuff uploaded before we go live on the site. This one comes from Dal Basi’s collection, and is transferred from the original “studio fuckin’ C” tape (inside joke, sorry). Transferred with a nakamchi dragon into an EMU1212M audio capture card. Look at the picture for song titles. Enjoy

The Exploited- Unknown (possibly California) 1988 Plus road footage Juni Bravo Archive Wattie Punk

So this show was on the same tape as the Slim’s show(I think), so I assume this show took place in California. We know we have San Diego on a clearly marked tape, and one of the videos right before this show says “SF” and the venue looks like Slim’s. This is probably either the Sacramento or Long Beach date. Brian McKenna Jerry Perry, Hayden Arellano where did Exploited play in Sac in 1988? Jason Ellis Jon Vogel does this look like Long Beach(probably Fender’s)? 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.

New Order- Sky TV UK Late 1980s Transfer from now gen VHS tape Peter Hook

It’s 9:30 and we still have 2 posts to do tonight! Actually 3 since it is Mick Martin today.
This one is from Tony Philputt’s collection and it was on the same tape as those Billy Bragg clips. Sky TV was around from 1984-1990 according to Wikipedia so this is somewhere in that time frame. It’s a short interview with Peter Hook and Stephen Morris and some promo/live clips. I could not find this anywhere on YT.

Unknown HELP NEEDED- on the end of an Eggplant tape, after “Screeching Weasel 1988”

It turns out I have ONE audio post in drafts, and it is a mystery. It has been sitting in drafts for over a year because I didn’t know what to do with it. It sounds like a demo, but I don’t know who it is. Shazam and our Google tech overlords cannot ID it either. Do you know? If so, please comment.

I think this is from Robert Eggplant’s collection. Either Eggplant or Arica Pelino

Real audio post tomorrow, I promise. Kid is asleep but the main box is on the desk and plugged in to the monitor!

Capitalist Casualties- 26 Songs Demo transfer f/Master or low gen audio cassette Sonoma County Punk

Not only did Gabe Meline bless us with video from the Sonoma County Punk exhibit, he also had me digitize a bunch of Sonoma County punk live and demo tapes. This one sounds way better than the other ones I hear online, so it is worth a repost.
Out of all the tapes I worked up for the exhibit, this band was the big “discovery” for me. I always figured they were one of those crust/grindcore type bands, but no. This is classic early thrash- think early D.R.I.
There is a video of the band playing a house party that was digitized as part of this project and it absolutely shreds. Coming soon.

Voltage- Rehearsal, Possibly Chatterbox Downstairs, San Francisco Late 1980s DVCam

Here’s one for the late 80’s rock scene folks who frequented the Chatterbox. This is a band who we think is practicing in The Chatterbox’ basement. The song they are practicing is called Brain Damage. Does anyone know who the band is, and who the members are? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Looks like this is Voltage. Thanks all!
