A portion of the NOMEANSNO set was added to the end of that Victims Family VHS tape, so here it is. It is only 5 minutes long. THIS is another reason why I should have saved everyone’s contact info, or at least their names. Who knows where these tapes ended up, or if the full show survived somewhere.

I was digitizing this VHS tape for another show which will be uploaded soon, an I found this REALLY GREAT VF show on it. Since this took place on Sunday and the stage is so well lit, I would have to assume that this was a matinee. Great, well-lit crowd shots and the crowd was into it!
Man, I wish I remembered who filmed this show. I threw out all of my contact info in a huge purge about 15 years ago. I remember many of my traders who have become life long friends, but there were a LOT of “one and done” type of trades. I wish I remembered them so I could give them credit and see if they taped anything else. Oh well.

Man, what a night this was. The Burro Room was a legendary venue- the Room was a standard venue- long and narrow. Next door was Juanita’s Burritos- they had cheap burritos and was one of the first places in the nation to have Sierra Nevada on tap. So we would drive up there, have a couple of pitchers and a burrito and wait for the show. This show was one of the best (and longest) I ever saw of TWR. I found a great little perch above the door between the 2 venues thatwas not only great for a tripod, but also sounded excellent because it was close to the PA. Recorded with the old Aiwa CV80 camcorder with a Sony ECM-909 mic velcro’d to the top. Enjoy! PS: Guy is in a beautiful polka dot dress for the show.
This is part 1 only- you can find the rest of the show on Youtube

I pulled out a really early Cracker tape for Today’s “On This Day in History” post. I can’t remember his name, but a guy came by my apartment back in 1991 and asked for a bunch of Camper van Beethoven tapes. He was writing a book on the band and wanted some recordings to help with context. He had a lot of recently recorded tapes of the David Lowery Band that I copied in return. DLB was Cracker before they had the name!
This appears to be the band’s 3rd show ever, if setlist dot fm is to be trusted. There is a show on setlist on March 20 in Diamond Bar, which no tape exists to my knowledge. Then my list shows March 21 at the Casbah in San Diego(have a tape of that one), then this one. They were playing NINETY MINUTE sets right out of the gate, with a bunch of Camper Van Beethoven songs. It’s a pretty fun listen.
Finally, check out that lineup- Walter Salas Humara from the Silos opening (logical) and… Petula Clark opening the show?!? That’s wild. I moved to so. cal. the following year- just missed this.

I debated whether to do the enhance/audio/video synch on this one, but the degrain worked so well I figured what the hell. The reason I waffled was because of the soundboard tape- this is the strangest board tape I have ever heard. The mix is all over the place, and about halfway through the set, the guitar gets so loud that it bleeds over everything else. I cut the audio from the show into 4 pieces so I could rebalance the mix differently when the mix changed. There is about a 10min spot where side “A” of my board tape ended and the tape flip didn’t happen (from 51:00 to 60:00ish).
It sounds funny at times (especially in the 2nd half of the set, I really had to push the rebalance) but it was the best I could do. Huge thanks to Kingbean for synching all of the little pieces together.

This show isn’t quite as pristine quality as the other UT archive stuff I have been posting, but this is a very special show- it was UT’s first time headlining mississippi nights, which was a big deal. They were returning from an east coast tour, so this was a homecoming show.
They pulled out a bunch of gems in this set, including FreakScene (dino jr), Cortez (neil young), She’s About a Mover, I drink stag, and many more. What a celebration.

I had meant to get this ready when Pierre’s gofundme started (to draw more people to it) but I kept getting sidetracked. R.I.P. Pierre.
This was the second time I ever saw NR, and it was once again at Gilman. I did not bring my video camera since I thought Karen Bemis would not give permission… but she was not with them and the band was totally fine with it. I was lucky enough to see them a few days later at Kennel Club and got that one on video. I audio taped this one through the soundboard with one of my pro decks- either the Sony WMD6C or the Marantz PMD430…. and it was a great mix.
Lots of covers for the encore, including a Johnny Cash song

Man, today was intense at work, hence the late post. Here is one from Gary Shurtleff’s vast collection of videos– for some reason, I have a 1st gen VHS in his VHS collection, but he shot the master. Maybe it was a safety copy. Anyway, here they are opening for Iron Maiden. Really nice looking video and gary does a nice job on the arena vids with that zoom lens.

Trying to post a variety of videos and sources this weekend. When I went over to Chris Eng’s place in February, he found 3 of Gary Shurtleff’s 8mm master tapes, so I took those back home and digitized them for Gary. Since Gary gave the OK for me to post any Sacramento-based stuff here, here is an Anthrax show that he filmed in ’91, right off the master. This is the one show out of the 3 tapes that qualifies for posting here. Expect the rest on his killer @bootlegcowboys channel. Some focus issues at times.
Totally unrelated to this (nerd alert), I have not mentioned this, but all of the recent (non-multicam) videos that I have filmed with the new Lumix G9ii have been sitting here since I did not have a PC set up that was equipped to handle the 4k .mov files. Last night, I finally got the “new” pc that I built 2 years ago down and integrated into the studio here. That was stressful, dodging cables and making sure my fat ass didn’t knock over the RAIDs after a drink or 2. But it’s working and rendering an Unprovoked set now- expect more local stuff in upcoming weeks.
