Uncle Tupelo- NPR “Heat”, New Music Seminar Report 7/18/90 xfer from band archive tape

I think this is the super awkward and painful interview where the interviewer did not know the band at all, and asked some of the questions in a faux twang voice, since the band was of the alt-country genre. Man, it must suck to be a musician and put up with this shit.

Mudhoney- Kennel Club, San Francisco Ca. 7/17/90 Xfer from 8mm Master Enhanced

The Kennel would sometimes bring in a psychedelic light show group to project their show behind the band. It was cool, but the band played in near darkness except for the light show. These videos were close to unwatchable before because they were so dark. They are much better now that we can brighten & enhance them.

Movie Stars- Cattle Club, Sacramento Ca. 7/14/90 Live xfer from 8mm master Enhanced

 

I first saw the Movie Stars at Cattle Club in November of 1989 and fell in love with them immediately. I think by the time they played again, 8 months later, I had seen them another 4 or 5 times in the bay area.
I enhanced this one by increasing contrast & brightness in adobe premiere and removing the snow storm with neat video.

Harm Farm- Cattle Club, Sacramento Ca. 7/14/90 xfer from master Videotape Enhanced SF Alternative

Harm Farm were a band from San Francisco- they put out a couple of records on Alias back in the early 90s. They were unique because they played this countryish music, but the lead guitar player had this metal sound (and look) and he and the violin would perform “dueling leads”. Melanie Clarin from Donnaer Party and SF Seals played drums and provided harmony vocals on many songs.
The band is also known for being one of Morgan Fichter’s (Camper Van Beethoven, Janes Addiction, Bedlam Rovers) first bands. Her song “I love your spots” is on the Harm Farm demo and is awesome.

The Almighty- Edinburgh Network, Scotland 7/10/90 xfer master/1st gen pre-fm soundbd Blood Fire Love

Here is one from Scott Capizzano’s collection of tapes. This one took quite a bit of research before I figured it out (I think). This is a pre-fm monitor mix of 3 songs from their show at Edinburgh Network in Scotland in 1990. From what I can find, none of these tracks made it out online or onto any official releases. The track “Detroit” from this same concert was included as a bonus track on the Japanese issue of “Blood, Fire & Live”. It sounds really good. Thanks Scott!

Robyn Hitchcock- New George’s, San Rafael Ca. 7/7/90 xfer from 8mm master

So the day after the show at the Crest Theater, I drove over to San Rafael to see Robyn in a much smaller venue. New George’s was packed to the gills, so I was not able to get a great place to film. I sat on a chair side stage and did a handheld job. I have a 1st gen VHS copy of another stationary angle taken straight on that would edit nicely with this one, if anyone wants to give it a try.

Herbivore- Crest Theater, Sacramento Ca. 7/6/90 Part 1

Herbie Kritzer was in Sacramento band Wood is Good before performing as a one man band (including chapman stick- talk about multitasking!) called Herbiovre. He has played for Charlie Peacock and was a Sacramento fixture for years. Anyway, this must be one of the only recordings of Herbivore. Enjoy! For Lee Osh and his appreciation of Wood is Good.

Robyn Hitchcock- Crest Theater, Sacramento Ca. 7/6/90

This was such an exciting show. Robyn was one of the biggest artists at the time to give me the OK to video. It turned out to be a great show, and the video turned out great as well. Robyn even name checks Dennis Yudt toward the end when someone is pounding on the side door at the Crest. Fun fact- Robyn’s rider required that he have a tuned piano on stage with him, something that Brian and Jerry had to make happen at no small expense… and then he never used it. Enjoy!
