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

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.

This Jackson Saints set may not be the best quality, but it is an absolute scorcher of a set. Does anyone know why they came on stage, proceeded to rip it up for about 10 minutes, get off stage, then some of the band comes back for a cover of Neil Young’s “Birds”… and that’s it? Talk about leaving the audience wanting more. Damn.

All tape flaws/audio hum etc is on the source tape, but it doesn’t matter.

More Sacramento Region lost media for you today. This one is from ken Doose’s collection. Vile was a band who was active in the scene at the same time as Redrum’s activity in the late 1980s. Both bands recorded at Bob Pagano’s Golden Ear studio which was a converted garage in Citrus Heights, close to Sylvan Corners. I think we even went to the same high school, but I was a few years ahead of them.
EDIT: This one originated from Mark Murray’s collection. Ken was able to acquire later on.

Yaaay! More archival awesomeness from Alfie Kulzick. This was one of 2 Jackson Saints sets at the end of that Papa Wheelie/Short Dogs Grow tape. The first set seemed fine until I played it back- everything is going along fine and then the audio tracks skips over to something from the same show, but comically out of sync, and then back in alignment again after a while. I don’t know if that is how it is on the source tape. I will need to run it again to see.
So we get this one instead. I think Erik mentions a missing band member at the start of the set, and they have always seemed to be a 4 piece. So this is a rarity.

It’s time for another gift from Alfie Kulzick. Here is the 2nd CD of demos of bay area bands who played The Chatterbox in San Francisco. Alfie also sent me a better tracklist of bands from the first one, so I will be adding that to the website post along with youtube tracklists. Thanks Alfie!

Along with those demo CD’s (one of which I posted last week), Alfie also sent over some more Chatterbox DVCam tapes. The first 2 on this tape were really dark, but I was able to fix it at the source since virtualdub allows for brightness/contrast etc adjustments. The audio is a bit rough but it doesn’t really matter. This was clearly a PARTY. I let it run after the end of the set because George was goofing around on the drums (R.I.P.). The lead vocalist of Papa Wheelie also hops on stage after the set and seems to try to kick someone. Wild party.
And Tom, I had better see some of those dance moves (1:26) at the next SDG show!

Alfie Kulzick sent me another amazing package the other day- more DVcam tapes, a Chatterbox BOOK that I didn’t know even existed, and these CD’s of demo tapes that were submitted to the club. Thanks Alfie!
These demos were all over the place, levels-wise so I did my best to normalize them.

Here’s the last video that I have for now from Alfie Kulzick. I hope there are more tapes to come- restoring these old Chatterbox tapes has been a lot of fun!
This one had the lowest lighting of them all, but it sounded better than most of the others. It was SUPER red so I had to play around with the color which affects the lighting. After playing with color, brightness, exposure, etc.. I think this is as good as it’s gonna get.
