Man, it is nice to see these guys again. Damon on drums, Greg on guitar, guy on bass at the pre-Cattle Club venue called Club Me. Sorry for the audio quality, that stock Aiwa mic could not handle volume at all. Super dark as well. I do have a soundboard recording of this show if anyone is DYING to synch them together…

This was such a great lineup- Operation Ivy, NOMEANSNO and Firehose. River Theater was a trek from Sacramento, but this one warranted the drive. I know Jason Ellis was with me, was Mike Yoas there as well? I am posting this one because I heard that NOMEANSNO announced that they are not playing together as a band anymore. They were a great, energetic band. I have no idea why I decided to video this handheld from the back of the place. Sorry for the shakiness. Now that I think back, I don’t think I bought a tripod until shortly after this. Filmed with Aiwa CV80 and stock mic

So the lineup for this show was Operation Ivy/NOMEANSNO/fIREHOSE… and psychefunkapus. Which one seems to be an odd booking? It seems like “the pus” got a lot of bookings at the River Theater. I did not go to a lot of shows there and I saw them play 2 shows there as one of the openers.

Here is another Anonymous recording- this one sounds way better than my video soundtrack. I used the stock microphone until April or May of 1989. This never circulated as far as I know

Hm, it looks like I never posted my Operation Ivy master from River Theater. There are a bunch of posts of this show on youtube, but none of them are right off the master tape. I also enhanced it (brightened/contrast/denoise), remixed “Anonymous” master audio recording of the show, and King Bean did the audio/video synch. It is still dark (my camera did not like the soft/low lighting of River thtr), but this will probably be the definitive version.

Well Hung Monks – 924 Gilman, Berkeley, CA 02-11-89
Soundboard recording.
I don’t exact date for this show. The only thing I could find that listed the Well Hung Monks playing Gilman at all was an old Gilman calendar I found online. It listed them playing with Mr. T Experience, Crimpshrine, and Sweet Children on February 11, 1989. Though they aren’t listed in the show listing for that date in the 924 Gilman book by Brian Edge nor are they listed elsewhere in the book. Heck, I can’t even find a listing from when they were known as Oyster Toilet Mango. So, it could possibly be from that show or another Gilman show that they played wasn’t listed. All I know is that remember dubbing a copy of the tape from either Jim or Hal MacLean back in the eighties and “Gilman 1989” was written on their original tape. Maybe Hal could solve the mystery.
Correction: Hal confirmed that the date of the show is February 11, 1989. Date has been corrected. Thanks, Hal..

Erik Benson – Guitar

I figured I would take a break from all the Aftershock videos. I need a palette cleanse after so much punk & metal. This should do it.
This was the first time seeing Short Dogs Grow. I traded for a live board tape from Gilman in early 1987 and became a big fan. By the time I saw them, their sound had refined more into the straight rock direction… I know they lost some of the old punk fans at this point but I still loved the band.
This show is kinda funny- I think this is the first time I videotaped at Kennel and I did not realize I could film from the perch above the door, so this one is shot on stage. The original camera audio is beyond awful, so I took a recording made with a consumer Aiwa deck and EQ’d that one. I don’t remember this, but it seems that I left my (actually anonymous’) deck with a random stranger. Thanks for not stealing it!
