There were quite a few choices for today’s On This Date in History, but I was in a TWR mood this morning.
It still blows me away that so many great bands played this tiny pub in Southampton. Green Day, MTX, Samiam, tons more.
The show starts out with no vocals due to a microphone cable issue. It’s fixed, then the vocals are buried in the mix as usual. Pretty good audience tape.

Well, I kinda blew it for today’s On This Date in History. After I digitized this (cassette master to) DAT this morning, I see that the band self-released these live tapes back in 1991. This one was Live tape #9 apparently.
I usually don’t bother with official releases but 1. I spent an hour on this already 2. It sounds fantastic 3. It’s not on youtube. So, why the heck not? At least it’s out of print.

Now that the Video transfer setup is back up, you get a complete rotation of collections. Thanks to Nicholas Serra for the help- it turned out the be the capture dongle that died.
I had posted a different angle of this show filmed by Barry Goldstein a while back. This one was in Todd Nakamine’s collection and filmed a lot closer to the stage, but there are a lot of obstructions. Maybe some enterprising edit dude can put the 2 of them together.

Here is an impressive camera job. It looks like Barry (the filmer) might have shot this from outside the fenced parking lot area. You can see in the 7 min of video that I forgot to trim at the beginning (sorry) that the camera moves around- from behind a fence and eventually to an elevated area with a clear shot of the band utilizing a zoom lens and possibly a tripod/monopod. Forward to 7min for the start of the show. Unfortunately, the audio is pretty distorted. If anyone has a better audio source, let me know. We can get to synching it.
