Barry Ward gave me a few boxes of tapes a couple years back, and he had this and one other VHS tape marked as a priority. It was in PAL format, so I don’t think he was able to get it digitized until now.
After a LOT of trial and error with Virtualdub, I was finally able to find the right settings to capture this PAL tape. (side note- the higher end the gear, the more manual it is to get set up)
I can’t tell what the writing on the tape says except “RKL” and “Spain”. I thought it said “Garabethe” but there is no venue or city of that name. Maybe “Garage The”? Anyway, hopefully Barry can fill in the blanks around venue, city and date.
RKL is back and they have a bunch of shows scheduled with new vocalist Abe Brennan. Today marks the 19th anniversary of Jason Sears’ passing. R.I.P. to a true legend.
