Nasal Sex- Whole Earth Fest, Davis Community Park 4/30/88 audio only xfer from master tape
I think Ken Doose and Lee Osh may care about this. Not sure if anyone else will. Here is another recording from my stepdad’s Montgomery ward boombox. That thing had some decent mics! If you listen closely, you can hear Jason Ellis and I going back and forth with our beavis and butthead-like banter. We were ahead of our time for being dumb asses, I suppose.

This is only part 1- you can find the rest on youtube

Raskul- Whole Earth Fest, Davis Central Park 4/30/88 xfer master audio cassette Thing that ate Floyd
This is another ancient master tape, recorded by me with my stepdad’s Montgomery Ward boom box (R.I.P. Tyler). That thing made the best quality tapes- by far the best ones until I bought the D6 in October of 1989.
Man, there is not much on this band at all online. Discogs has 1 demo with no mention of band names. They were on the legendary Floyd comp with a bunch of great East Bay punk bands.
The quality is kinda terrible to start as I was trying to find a place for the boom box and they were still getting the sound dialed in. This was 80’s vocal PA and nothing else sound technology.

Dwarves- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 4/30/88 xfer from 1st gen soundboard cassette Rebalanced
Happy Monday everyone. This one comes from Eggplant’s collection and the date is kind of a mystery. The tape says 4/30/9 and the rest is not legible. I checked Brian Edge’s 924 Gilman book and there were 2 shows on 4/30 in the 90s, and neither one of them had The Dwarves on the bill. Oh well. I tried.
The mix on this one is pretty rough to start, but I rebalanced it to sound decent at about 1 minute in, since that’s where the mix sits most of the time.
It’s always a good time trying to figure out how to use youtube’s decency filters/ratings. Hmm.. there is no setting for someone yelling “why don’t you sit on my face” 2 seconds into the recording… moderately shocking and offensive? Sure, let’s try that.

7 Seconds- UC Davis Quad, Davis Ca. 4/29/88 Audio Only xfer from master tape
Since the setlist that Scott Torguson posted from this show seemed to get a big reaction from people, I decided to transfer the old tape. It does not sound great, but not terrible either. Recorded with a Montgomery Ward Boom Box with internal mics. Scott, I hope that it is ok to use your flyer image. Let me know if not.

Rollins Band- Kennel Club, San Francisco Ca 4/29/88 xfer from master audio tape
I saw this tape in Wayne Vanderkuil’s box of tapes and had never seen/heard it anywhere before. I didn’t know until after I digitized this, that Wayne taped it. It was one of the last shows that he recorded.
Rollins claims that this is the first time that the band played in California. I know that they practiced and formed back east- New Jersey I think. That’s some pretty cool history. Thanks Wayne!
This is a killer set. It seems like they played longer than usual- this cuts at 90 minutes!
Recorded by: Wayne Vanderkuil- I think he used a Sony WMD3 in later years

Thin White Rope- The Grotto, New Haven Ct. 4/26/88 xfer from band archive VHS Live
Here is another one from Jozef Becker’s archive of TWR stuff, back when he drummed for the band. This one is another northeastern show, but not as nice of quality as the living room show. I tried enhancing the video, but it did not take since the picture has some generation loss.

Pink Floyd- Hughes Stadium, Sacramento 4/20/88 Audio Only
Since that PF post yesterday was one of the more popular ones in the past couple months, I thought that I would fish out this audio recording of the show. There are at least 3 recordings of this show- this one (the best version), the one that anonymous made that has the “woo girl from hell” on it that totally destroys the recording, and one that I got from a big floyd fan in town right when the concert happened. This one is far superior.
