Throwing Muses- Berkeley Square, Berkeley Ca. 3/28/89 xfer from master audiotape

Here’s an upload for a friend of Corbett’s- John Kelly.
So let me talk about the taper- Anonymous. He is my best friend and we have been friends for over 30 years. We met at the legendary exploited/DRI/Dr. Know/Dag Nasty show. Back in the 80s, he was not only working to get the best quality audio recordings (he bought his Sony D6 first, then I HAD to have one), but he went to a lot of really cool shows that I blew off. This is one of them. Looking at his tapes, I see recordings by The Lemonheads(I didn’t go), Swans(Went), and more from Berkeley Square. Thanks to anonymous!

Recorded by: Anonymous
Equipment used: Aiwa consumer recorder & Sony ECM909 Mic

Equipment: Nakamichi Dragon/M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card/boost highs & lows, drop mids in sony soundforge.

Thin White Rope- I Beam, San Francisco Ca. 3/20/89 Enhanced xfer from Master VHS Tape

Again, HUGE thanks to Paul Ashby for trusting me (and usps) with his master VHS tapes.

Here’s what I did to enhance this one:
VHS Playback/Transfer with JVC HRS9800U w/TBC on, into Canopus ADVC300
Adobe Premiere Elements to birghten, increase contrast, haze removal. Noise reduction via Neat Video.
Export to MP4 at 1080p.

7 Seconds- UC Davis Coffeehouse, Davis Ca. 3/5/89 Xfer from master 8mm video enhanced with NEW Audio

Here is another show that we were able to improve quite a bit. The audio on the original video is terrible. I was behind the PA and I was using the stock mic from the camera. It is borderline unlistenable. We were able to enhanced the video (which made a big difference), and then synch Anonymous’ audience recording to the video. He was only using a non professional Aiwa, but he bought a nice sony Mic so the results are pretty good. WAY better than before.
Also, please admire Kevin Seconds’ mane of hair and tie dye t-shirt. This has been my fashion template for the pandemic. Just wait until I see all of you again- you won’t recognize me. 😀
PS: John Muheim kept getting in my way. I did not know him then and he was bumming me out. Now we are pals. In fact, the only photo of me videotaping from back then is one that he shot, from this show!
