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.

We are finally caught up on our Patreon Voter’s choice posts! Until tomorrow that is. This vote was amusing- we were voting on bands that start with “H”. We had Helios Creed, Hawkwind, and 3 others… and who wins with a unanimous vote? Harm Farm. I had no idea that there were so many Harm Farm fans out there. I mean, I loved the band enough to film them a few times. I even traveled to Chico once.
I might have overdone it with the “brighten the video at the source” method in virtualdub, but hot damn am I excited to be able to actually SEE these Cattle Club videos. Before, it was a game of find the musician under the grain and darkness.

Alright, Day 1 of ALL collections, all the time! This one comes from my collection with a bit of a backstory. I have told the story of my friend Jim Utz going to the Tony Margherita Management office and borrowing about 50 Uncle Tupelo archive tapes(it is on a coffee creek post if you want to read the story). Tony & Bob from TMM had this KDHX session in the band archive but it was incomplete- 1 version edited for acoustic songs only, 1 cut off at 50 minutes.
Then we were graciously loaned Doug Morris’ archive of cassettes and we digitized as many as possible before returning them. I think this is where this version came from. Digitized by Michael Pemberton or Steve Brothers. It’s nice to enjoy a complete version of this one.

Here’s an exciting one- an uncirculated Mr. Bungle video from that same 3/1/91 show as my other posts! This is before the release of the 1st album, so you get a mix of album tracks and stuff from their demos. I prefer the demos, but I’m sure most of you will like it all.
From the collection of Eddie Jorgensen- drummer for opening band Chomphard

Wow, I just checked youtube and there are NO complete shows of these guys posted. It’s a bonus that the place was packed and the crowd went totally wild for the band. In fact, I think the crowd was the most animated for DoE- even moreso than Mr. Bungle!

Here’s another one from Eddie’s VHS tapes. Here’s another Chomphard performance, from that Deli Creeps show. What a crazy lineup at this one. More bands from this night are coming up!

Huge thanks to Eddie Jorgensen for trusting me with his video tapes. Here is 8 minutes of Deli Creeps’ set from an amazing bill featuring Chomphard, Mr. Bungle and Disciples of Ed. This is a transfer from a 30 year old tape that was dubbed in EP/SLP mode, which sat in a garage for years. Please excuse the slight flaws.
This video is wild- buckethead gets stuck on top of his full stack of amps and tries to climb down, and FALLS BACKWARD onto part of the drums… without missing a thing. It happens at about 1:57 in. The band doesn’t miss a beat. Unreal.
PS: Why is everyone wearing aprons?
