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.
