Thin White Rope- Napoli, Indepenti Italy 5/29/88 xfer f/ 2nd gen FM Soundboard audio cassette Davis

It has been quite a while since I have posted anything from the mighty Thin White Rope. I loved this band and still miss them, even though they have been broken up for almost 33 years now. I still have about 100 TWR shows on cassette and DAT to work through, so don’t be surprised if there are more of these throughout the year.
It seemed that Europe was always very big on TWR. This tape alone has a radio broadcast of the band (here), plus them playing live on RAI-TV 3 days prior to this. In the USA, TWR was on the radio… once I thnk (Spin radio concert) and on TV… once I think (Sacramento Sammies). They do both in 3 days in Italy. The flipside of the tape has another radio broadcast from Sweden. Well done. The announcer does need to be quiet at the start of Red Sun, but otherwise good.
There was no photographic evidence of this show, so the pic is from the night before, at KGB club, Naples Italy May 28, 1988.

Naked Raygun- Metro, Chicago Il. 5/29/88 xfer from 2nd gen audio cassette Live- hardcore fans only

I had someone from the Naked Raygun: nrmy facebook group ask me to post this one. I warned them that it was terrible quality, but they wanted to hear it anyway. So, sorry about this one. This goes to show that I actually do have some quality control over here- I don’t post everything I digitize… unless someone REALLY wants it. 🙂
Oh, and it is incomplete.

Stikky- The Place, Davis Ca. 5/27/88 LIVE Enhanced Xfer from 8mm Master

Here is one of my Stikky videos- this one is from The Place in Davis. Man, that place had no lighting which made things difficult. I fixed this one with the new software, but it is still not too good. Better than before.

Camper van Beethoven- Roxy, Hollywood Ca 5/23/88 xfer from VHS tape Enhanced

I hope everyone is enjoying the super bowl. I missed the first qtr to watch the Kings lose.
Here is another one from that stack of VHS tapes. I try to keep away from posting unknown lineage tapes that are clearly suffering from generation loss.. but this one has never surfaced online (that I am aware of), this is my favorite era of CVB, and this is a pretty unique show. Keith Morris comes onstage to sing Wasted with the band. That could not have been easy for Keith, CVB does the song at about half speed compared to the Circle Jerks version.
Also, how did this guy get the OK to video at The Roxy? I tried ONCE in the 3 years I lived in L.A., and was told no video and they don’t care who gave permission.
I hope a better copy surfaces of this one someday.

Yeastie Girlz- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 5/20/88 xfer from 8mm master tape incomplete

This “On This Date in History” project is helping me realize how many of my own tapes are not posted yet.. like this one. I filmed Fugazi’s first appearance at Gilman on this date in 1988. I need to do a lossless transfer and synch that one with the board tape. This one was nice and short and good for today. It could probably use a new transfer and enhancement as well, I’ll get to it someday.
Man, Gilman was packed that day. I filmed both sets while standing on a folding chair in the middle of the crowd. That’s why you get the shaky camera work. I only shot about 7 minutes of the set. I was still nervous about battery dying after the great Operation Ivy debacle 2 weeks prior.
