Finally, here is one from Alfie’s collection. I am a few days late on this because I kept forgetting cables and little crap that I needed to do DVcam transfers. Having stuff spread across 2 houses is no fun. What is fun is a working capture PC that doesn’t throw everything out of sync!
Anyway, Osgood Slaughter is a band from Eugene Or who put out a couple self-released things in the late 80s/early 90s. They were clearly popular with the Chatterbox crowd

This is from Todd Nakamine’s collection and we need some help from you. We don’t know what the venue or date is. Greg jokes about playing the venue often, and you can tell that it is a smaller place with a low stage and low ceilings. After browsing setlist dot fm, I think it might be Night Moves in Huntington Beach or Stardust Ballroom.
Here’s what my friend Agelos says about this and he has more BR stuff than anyone I know: “Bad Religion ????/??/?? Unknown Venue & Date
01 Land Of Competition (few seconds only) 02 Doing Time 03 1000 More Fools 04 You Are (cuts out) 05 Big Bang 06 Voice Of God Is Government 07 When? (cuts out) 08 We’re Only Gonna Die 09 Part III 10 Yesterday 11 Delirium Of Disorder 12 Fuck Armageddon…This Is Hell 13 Bad Religion (only few seconds)
Notes: -Jay wears a BR white t-shirt from the Suffer Tour -Filmed from the right side of the stage. -Brett and Jay stand at the right side of the stage and Greg at the left. -They said that last week they played also at that club. -Someone is in the right stage of the stage with crutches.”
So they are not playing in their usual stage spots and they play there often.
Wait… now that I look at this again.. I was dead-set on this being from L.A., but could it be Gilman? Look at the exit door right next to the stage and when the camera pans to the back of the club, the open doorway seems about right. But Gilman did not have lighting that good back then.

This one might be from the same night as that Jackson Saints video (w/ soundboard audio) that I posted a couple weeks back. It is right next to it on the tape. Once again, it seems to be a partial set or the encore only.
I am not sure if this is The Witnesses. The tape is marked as if The Witnesses are the first band on here, but according to their discogs page, the guitarist Dave Dick also took care of vocal duties. If this is the wrong band, please correct me. Thanks

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.
From Alfue Kulzick’s collection
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.
