Youth of Today- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 3/27/88 xfer from 1st gen soundboard cassette

This one sounds pretty good for an early Gilman board mix. There seemed to be more guitar in one channel, so I bumped up the channel with guitar and it sounds pretty nice- no need to Izotope it this time. Mix starts out weak and gets better as the show progresses. It’s dialed in at about 10min.
They are a little slow to get started, forward to about 2min if you want to avoid the improv jam.
Haha, Ray asks for more lights at the start of the set. “They are all the way up” NOW you know why all my old gilman videos are so dark!

Social Spit- Palisades Theater, San Diego Ca. 3/26/88 xfer from master Juni Bravo Archive

Here’s another one from Juni’s tapes, but this one is clearly labeled. Man, those old school full size VHS camcorders had some nice stock microphones in them. Sounds pretty good for 1988. 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. Thanks

Sweet Baby Jesus- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 3/18/88 xfer f/1st gen VHS tape

Here’s the last video from that Russ Bree VHS tape in Chris Eng’s collection. I wonder if he taped more shows.. if anyone knows Russ, ask him about his tapes.
Here is a rare Sweet Baby Jesus video. I think there was only 1 other video (Gilman Battle of the Band 6/14/87) and this one before they dropped “Jesus”.

Desperate Minds- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 3/18/88 xfer f/1st gen VHS tape Kamloops, Canada Punk Band

When I posted the Yeastie Girlz set from this tape, someone asked about Desperate Minds. Here you go. At least 1 person will be excited, haha. Desperate Minds were active in the late 80s and put out an album and a 7″. I’m not sure if they toured much beyond this- the list yields nothing at all.

Yeastie Girlz- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 3/18/88 xfer f/1st gen VHS tape Lookout Records

Video collections post from Chris Eng’s collection today. I sent Chris a picture of the VHS tape and we were PM’ing and the taper’s name just popped out- Russ Bree is the likely filmer of that Stikky from last week and this one. Thanks Russ and Chris!

This is probably the best quality YG video I have seen so far. Long set for them as well.

Murphys Law- WNYU Crucial Chaos Interview & Live in Studio,New York City 3/17/88 xfer f/1st gen Tape

It’s St. Patrick’s Day, so this one seemed appropriate for today’s On This day in History.
This set is somewhat legendary in NYHC circles, there are mentions of this Supertouch/Murphy’s Law multiple times and one of the best WNYU sets… but it doesn’t seem to be online anywhere. The sound engineer posted over 70 sets online, but not this one.
Interview and 2 songs live at the end.

Operation Ivy- KSPC-FM Live in Studio, Claremont Ca. 3/17/88 2nd gen audiotape xfer remixed

Here’s another one from Anonymous’ collection. I am not 100% sure, but I suspect that this tape is the one that was traded out and resulted in endless bootlegs. If that is the case, this should be better quality than what was out there previously. It’s still super raw.
I did my best to bring the drums/guitar down a little and boost the vocals/bass in Izotope. The challenge is that the vocals are all over the place. Buried in places, way too loud in others. Sounds like they were all playing into one mic.
