Corrupted Morals- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca. 7/17/88 xfer from master tape!

This was a memorable trip to Gilman. I remember getting down there late to see this show- I think this is the one that Dayglo Abortions was supposed to play but never showed, earning the name no show abortions.
Anyway, we were starving when we got there and CM was getting ready to play. So, I handed my camera to Chris Dodge who filmed the part of this set while we went to get pizza. You can see Chris interviewing band members on stage during the set. Larry also flashes the camera, which is pretty damned funny.
please watch until the end- Steve Vontill and other gilman nerds run around with the camera and dork out, gilman style.

Corrupted Morals- 924 Gilman, Berkeley 7/17/88 xfer from 8mm master enhanced Live

Corrupted Morals is playing in SONORA- you heard me right- SONORA this weekend! Go check them out!

This was a memorable trip to Gilman. I remember getting down there late to see this show- I think this is the one that Dayglo Abortions was supposed to play but never showed, earning the name “no show abortions”.
Anyway, we were starving when we got there and CM was getting ready to play. So, I handed my camera to Chris Dodge who filmed the part of this set while we went to get pizza. You can see Chris interviewing band members on stage during the set (what’s your favorite food? Is there really only one way to rock?). Larry also flashes the camera, which is pretty damned funny.

Crimpshrine- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 7/16/88 xfer from 1st gen soundboard cassette East Bay Punk

It’s Monday (and the dreaded April Fools Day) so I figured I would post something that I really enjoyed listening to while digitizing. This tape comes from Eggplant, but I think it was given to him by Radley Hirsch. It has Radley’s trademark black scratch-off typeface on the cassette label. Always going above and beyond for us punks, he was.
The mix slides around a bit at first but settles in pretty nicely so I decided against a rebalance. Forward it a few minutes and you’ll see (hear) what I mean.

Recorded by: Radley Hirsch (I think)

Loop- Greyhound Pub, Fulham England 7/15/88 xfer from unknown gen audio cassette Shoegaze Psych Rock

Audio from Anonymous’ collection today. I think he got this one from Todd Goss. Unknown gen tape but it is likely low since Anon got this in the late 80s/early 90s. The Greyhound Pub is legendary hosting tons of bands, including Thin Lizzy and Status Quo in the 70s and 80s.

Redrum- Lite Rail Inn, Sacramento Ca 7/15/88 xfer from 8mm master tape Thrash Metal MITFR

Hey, it’s 6 months of On This Date in History! Is anyone sick of it yet? It can sure be a grind, so if you hate it, speak up. Haha.
It continues to amaze me that some of the old master videos had not been uploaded yet. The On This Date project has helped with that. Since it was Mike Parisi’s birthday yesterday, let’s post this one in honor of him. He is the guy you see behind the drums when this video starts.
Unfortunately, it’s not great quality. This was before I bought that Sony mic for my camera and I was using the stock mic- all it picked up was high end and distortion. This transfer was done with the old setup, where I would firewire a sony digital camcorder into the Dell workstation. One day, I will try to do a proper transfer and degrain and stuff.

The Pandoras- Spirit Club, San Diego Ca 7/9/88 xfer from 1st gen audio cassette Complete Show

Here is one for On This Date in History that I got from the guy who taped it- I traded with him in the early 90s and he had so much good stuff from the San Diego area. I got the Pleasure Barons video and a bunch of other stuff from him as well. I wish I remembered his name. He was friends with the Bernat brothers.
This is such a fun Pandoras era- I like the garagey “Stop pretending” era the most, but you get a mix of those songs and the newer hard rock songs. I think Kim and Melanie were in the band at this point.
I didn’t rate this one too well but the recording was clean so it EQ’d nicely!

Recorded by: Mark? maybe

Surrogate Brains- Live 924 Gilman? late 1980s xfer f/audio cassette Stockton Punk band

It’s going to be an all-Eggplant day! one audio and one video from Eggplant’s collection. This audio was on the B-side of a recording of Op Ivy’s 7/4/88 gilman set, and SB played the very next show at Gilman, on 7/8/88… so maybe this is that set. That doesn’t explain the mystery No Dogs board tape on there though.

R.I.P. Duby.

Mr. T Experience- The Anthrax, Norwalk Ct 7/8/88 xfer from 1st gen VHS tape MTX Punk

Here’s a little MTX for today’s On This Date in History. It comes from Jim Utz’ collection that I digitized years ago. It’s only 9 minutes, I am not sure if there is more out there somewhere.
There were not many people documenting these smaller punk bands in the late 80s. There was Jim Utz in St. Louis, me in Sac/Bay Area, this guy who filmed the Anthrax shows, and a few others. Video Louis was in L.A. starting in the early 80s, thank goodness he captured that scene so thoroughly. Grateful to all of you guys for documenting it all.
I love this era of MTX. Jon Von was great in the band.

Recorded by: ? (Jim will probably know)

Equipment used: Probably the JVC HR-S9911 into Canopus ADVC300
