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..

The Lemonheads- Axis, Boston Ma 2/9/89 xfer from 1st gen audio cassette Evan Dando Complete Show

Let’s hit up Anonymous’ collection for today’s post. He traded with a person in Boston who taped this show. This is announced as a reunion show of the band, but I thought they were pretty active back then. There is a woman on vocals on one of the songs- not sure if that is Juliana at this point. I do know that original vocalist Ben Deily was still in the band and you can hear him on vocals for some of the songs here. Interesting show.

Short Dogs Grow- Kennel Club, San Francisco Ca 2/7/89 xfer from master videotape Live

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!
