When we used to go to shows back in the late 1980’s, I would bring my video camera and my good friend “Anonymous” would audiotape. Even before he bought his WMD6C pro walkman in May of 1989, his audio was almost always superior to my video camera’s audio. I have all of his audiotapes here, and still need to digitize about 95% of them.
There are quite a few videos that I filmed that would benefit from his improved audio. I think the only one we synched before this one was Fugazi at Gilman in 89.
Anyway, the stock audio on this video always bugged the hell out of me because the midrange was totally distorted. Anonymous used a consumer Aiwa recorder to record the show and it was average at best. I remixed it twice- once in Ixotope RX7, then again in Sony Soundforge. It’s now listenable!
Huge thanks to Kingbean for the audio video synch
