The Mimes had Scott Capizzano on drums, and a bunch of other guys I don’t know. 🙂 Scott, can you please let us know who was in the band in late 1988? Filmed at Club Me, which would become Cattle Club. Filmed with Aiwa CV80 camera and Sony ECM909 mic.

Hey, someone else told me what to do! Mann Medic just signed up and asked for this MTX show. It was their first show ever in Los Angeles. It’s an audience recording but sounds pretty good. Probably done with a Sony D6 or some other quality piece of gear.
Frank Portman adds: “A memorable night, at least I think I remember it. The recording is new to me, sounds surprisingly good. Astonished to find the unfinished and never released “TV Movie” song (at around 21:50) — surprised we ever played it in public (if the Anti Club counts as “public.”) It’s too long at two minutes, probably best left unreleased, but to my surprise it has its moments.”
Thanks Mann Medic!

This was the first of 6 or 7 fIREHOSE shows I filmed. The venue was called “Club Obsession”, then “Club Me”, then finally Cattle Club during the glory years. This was before Jerry and Brian’s time, a guy named Clint booked the show. Filmed with an Aiwa CV80 and stock mic. A little dark but not too bad.

Here’s another new post of an old show. The original audio of this video is complete garbage, the high end distrotion on the audio track made it unlistenable. We have taken Anonymous’ better audio and remixed/synched it with the enhanced video. Massive improvement. I think that this is fIREHOSE’s first appearance in Sacramento. At least, it was the first one I knew about.

Here’s Stikky’s set from Gilman- filmed by Jason Ellis using my camera (Aiwa CV80 and stock microphone). Lighting improves about 10 min in, and they do a spot-on cover of Neurosis’ “black” at the 15min mark.

I was going to post a Roky Erickson video for today’s On This Date in History to make up for the delay on the Patreon Voter’s Choice that Roky won (more on that later), but it was already out there. Sigh.
This one should appeal to the hardcore Danzig fans- I traded with someone in Chicago back in the 80s- they would send me those awesome WXRT live broadcasts and other cool stuff taped off the radio. This is one of those- a Danzig interview when he was “up and coming” according to the interviewer. Classic.

Here’s a special one for you today. This is one of the only master videos in my collection that was filmed with my camera, but I didn’t film the show. Anonymous filmed this one, plus recorded a master soundboard tape. I took the masters and enhanced/remixed both, then Kingbean did the analog audio to video synch. Thanks Kingbean!
It’s still a bit dark, I did my best.

and, here is Neurosis.
now that I have my new copy of soundforge, I can start posting all of this audio stuff I had down here by the PC.
Here is another Anonymous recording. We got to be friends with Gilman soundman Radley Hirsch, so there were many soundboards done in 1988-1990 time frame. This one sounds pretty damned good.
As a side note, there is also video of this show (Anonymous taped it with my camera). If anyone wants to synch this soundboard with that video, or help with the HUNDREDS of edit/synch projects that I have, please email me at 3.cameras.and.a.microphone@gmail.com

So this was a tough call- I know that Neurosis likes to play with very little lighting on stage… but you could not see much of anything on my 3 video masters. I decided to go ahead and brighten them as much as I could.

I debated posting anything today, in light of the crisis that we are experiencing in Sacramento. I hope all of my friends are safe. I stayed up until 2am watching the feeds.. absolutely heartbreaking.
This is what is so cool about this hobby. I mentioned in a post that I was having difficulty getting some old analog sources to synch- Pluraleyes won’t read old crappy camera audio from 1988 to synch the soundboard audio properly. It just errors out. Brendan from new zealand read my post and reached out to me out of the blue and offered to synch the sources together. I warned him that syncing 2 analog sources was a HUGE pain in the ass… which he did confirm later (he had to do it song by song). 🙂
So what I guess I am trying to say is that we all have more in common than not; and we can’t continue to allow these divide and conquer tactics to be effective. I think that just about all of us really ARE anti fascist, if you think about the true definition and history of the term. I just had a guy contact me and work for hours because we have a punk band in common. I bet we can find something in common with just about anyone. We need to join together and fight power. Thanks Brendan.
