Soul Asylum- CBGB, NYC 12/8/88 Audio Only xfer from 1st gen cassette tape

Here’s a post for John Moulton, Channing Lewis, Michael Crow, and Jersey Joe. Everyone is trying to figure out who the guest is playing the strat in this picture. My guess is Ira Kaplan from Yo La Tengo, but Dave calls out a special guest that is not intelligible. but is definitely not Ira. Can anyone solve the mystery of the mystery Strat guest?
I’ll be posting 12/7/88 tomorrow, lesser quality than this one.

Soul Asylum- CBGB, NYC 12/7/88 Audio Only xfer from 1st gen cassette tape

Soul Asylum played 2 nights at CBGB in December of 1988. This one doesn’t sound quite as good as the 12/8/88 show, but I mixed out as much distortion as I could. Again, this is for John Moulton, Channing Lewis, Michael Crow, and Jersey Joe. Everyone is trying to figure out who the guest is playing the strat in this picture. My guess is Ira Kaplan from Yo La Tengo, but Dave calls out a special guest that is not intelligible. but is definitely not Ira. Can anyone solve the mystery of the mystery Strat guest?
The pic is likely from 12/8/88, but I did not listen to 12/7 closely enough to hear if there are guests on this one as well.

Danzig- The Ritz, New York City 12/2/88 xfer f/1st gen audio cassette Samhain Misfits Complete

Here’s another one that the On This Date Project was able to dig out of the ocean of tapes over here- a complete set from Danzig, taken from a copy off George Norton’s master tape.

The tape isn’t without flaws. The first 6 minutes of the tape is badly damaged. If you can’t take the quality early on, forward to 6 minutes and issues resolve. Back in the days of 1980’s tape trading, we used some cheap tape decks to copy tapes. We would use high speed dubbing to get the job done quickly. Tape trading at the time was for fun so if a tape was sped up or damaged like this one, we wouldn’t think much of it. Now I wish I had asked george for a clean re-dub of this one. Dammit.

Great set with Misfits and Samhain “covers”.

The Exploited- Norwalk, Ct 1988(end), Allentown Pa 1988 Juni Bravo Archive Wattie Backstage

Here are a couple more exploited shows from the Juni Bravo archive, along with some backstage footage. JUNI BRAVO ARCHIVE: I bought a bunch of live VHS tapes of Ebay about 6 months ago. I bought them mainly for a Bad Religion Multicam from 1988 that was uncirculated, but I got a while box of VHS tapes. The tapes were intriguing enough for me to try to find out who Juni is- it turns out that she was a Video archivist from the mid- to late-80s based in San Diego & texas. She followed the Exploited on tour in 1988 and produced the “Anarchy in the USA” VHS tape for them. She passed away a couple of years ago and (unbeknownst to me) some guy was selling her stuff off. I decided to post the stuff that was OK to post publicly to be sure Juni got her due, and to let fans of the band see this stuff- there is some gold in here. I also NEED YOUR HELP with some of this stuff. The tapes were poorly labeled so I don’t know who some of the bands are, and I don’t know most of the venues. Any help identifying stuff is appreciated. Thanks

Recorded by: Juni Bravo
