A couple weeks back, my friend Arica Pelino flew into Sacramento with a suitcase full of tapes. There is SO MUCH amazing East Bay Punk stuff in there- it has been a joy digitizing the tapes for her… and we are just getting started! Thanks for bringing them, Arica!
This one is a short teaser for you- before their show on 9/28/91 at Phoenix Theater, Arica filmed Green Day getting prepared (makeup and all) before the show.
The video was a little dark and grainy (90s video technology and all), but I tried to brighten it up a bit and denoise as much as I could without giving everyone that “iphone beauty” look. I mean, look how beautiful they are without it!
If you all want to be in the loop about the release of this archival East Bay audio/video from her collection, you all should subscribe to YT, sign up for email on the sacramentomusicarchive website, or join the facebook group for the archive.
Enjoy!
