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.

Here’s a bonus post for today- some funny interviews with fans leaving the show.
This is bizarre- This stikky song is on the master soundboard tape, right after No Use for a Name. Stikky were not listed on the flyer as playing on 4/15/88, but Chris was there with NUFAN I think. Maybe the band hopped up on stage and played a song on NUFAN’s equipment. Maybe this is from a diffrent show. Who knows.

The Shurtleff onslaught continues. This one sounds great- it seems that they really got the mixes dialed in at Gilman around the April 88 time frame.
I think Chris Dodge was singing for the band at this time. I filmed them a week before this and he was on vocals.

Late post today- the lookout zoomout took more free time than I had today, but it was totally worth it!
Here’s another one that Todd Pritchard pulled out from Jason Ross’ collection when he was here in December of 2019. I thought that we (me and Anonymous) had all of the Operation Ivy audio tapes that were recorded, but Jason has a bunch of uncirculated stuff out of the midwest. This one doesn’t sound great, it is a typical punk rock audience tape made on non-professional gear. I tried to remix it to make it a little more listenable.

Craig Hilmer comes through again with the Liberty Lunch tapes. He is not exactly sure of the lineage of this one, but it was at the end of one of his master tapes so there was no way that he could have traded for it. A radio station in Europe (Italy?) apparently had an agreement with LL to broadcast some shows. Meat Puppets was one of them. I think Thin White Rope was another. Hopefully Mark Pratt from LL can fill us in about this European connection.

Carl Sylvester asked me to digitize this one a few months back, and it finally got to the top of the list. I traded with a really cool and dependable guy named George Norton (not sure if my FB friend is the same guy). He taped a ton of city gardens & NYC punk/hardcore shows.
He taped Danzig’s first show at City Gardens and sent me a copy pretty much immediately. We listened to it about 50 times before the debut LP came out 4 months later. Good times. Note the track listing on the cassette J-card, we didn’t even know the name of most of the new songs yet.

Here’s another one from Gary Shurtleff.
This is one of the better gilman soundboard mixes I have heard, but it is a little bright… and Andy is hilarious as usual. I forgot that they stopped advertising bands at Gilman for a while. The concept was that people should just show up and be surprised. They started flyering again when no one was showing up. Andy’s opening wisecrack is GOLD.
