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.

At the very start of this video, you can see how good it would look if they kept the lights on in there. They didn’t, and we have dark Place videos. Taped with the Aiwa CV-80 and stock mic.

I looked online and saw ZERO videos from The Place in Davis. How is that even possible? It was legendary for the abundance of awesome shows. It was a little house in downtown davis with little to no lighting. Sound was terrible… but it was a blast. I also have Peace Test (Steve Von Till from Neurosis) first band. LMK if you want to see it.

Here is Steve Von Till’s pre-Neurosis band Peace Test. The lighting at the place is not existent, but I did everything I could to enhance it to make it watchable.

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.

Wow, what a day. Work into dinner for the kids into Kings game and now home. This may be the latest daily post ever, but I made it before midnight!
Here is the last 1980s video from Laura Levy’s collection of master tapes. Feedbags were also a local Phoenix band with the following members: Jim Swafford, Dave Swafford, Rick Purcell, Gary Martin
Suffers the same audio fate as the Gin Blossoms and Glue from the same show, I still need to get schooled by Seneca on this “de-distort the audio” stuff.

Since today is an observed holiday (day off) for many people, here is another video. I’ll start the audio posts tomorrow.
Here is yet another awesome 1980s video shot by Laura Levy. Glue were a local Phoenix band with the following members: Todd Joseph, Jim Peterson, Scott Palmer, PJ Van Zanen.
Suffers the same audio fate as the Gin Blossoms from the same show, that I posted a week or so back.

Here is another amazing gift from Laura Levy. She let me borrow a couple of tapes when I was up in Seattle back in August. Thanks again, Laura! The Gin Blossoms played a local showcase at The Mason Jar with a couple other band- those will be posted soon.
Unfortunately, the video suffers from distorted audio. Maybe Seneca St. James can tutor me on his anti-distortion skillz in Izotope Rx8. When I try to use Spectral Repair, it just sounds weird… and we still have that Muffs soundboard that could be saved as well.
