Dirt- WFMU Live in Studio, E Orange NJ 1992 xfer from 1st gen audio cassette

Hopefully I can get some help on this one. This is another one of those uncirculated WFMU tapes that Jason Ross got from a guy named Matt back in the 90s. Dirt is a fairly common band name, and I cannot figure out which Dirt this band is. None of them on Discogs make any sense. The closest one that fits the description (Hardcore punk w/a woman on vocals) is an Anarcho-Punk band from London, but they were not active in 1992. If you know who this is, please let me know. They kinda rip.
From Jason Ross’ collection

Update: Thanks to dl_bass26 for this info: Dirt (Dirt (13) on Discogs) were a post-hardcore/noise rock quartet from Atlanta who existed from about 1989-1992. They released 2 albums and 2 singles before they split up. Their singer/guitarist John Forbes later formed Mount Shasta, while the other members formed Seersucker.

Tilt- Demo 1992 Lookout Records Punk Cinder Block xfer from master demo cassette tape

Here is one (from Anonymous 2’s collection) that I am surprised is not online yet. There are copies for sale on discogs, so it can’t be that rare. That being said, the $200 discogs price for a demo tape is too rich for me.
I’ve said it before, but what a great band. They had the songs and the talent from the beginning as you can hear. They should be a top-tier band, even today. They should be making the big bucks on a punk in the park, riot fest, etc or whatever. Don’t know what happened.

Bruce Springsteen- Sports Arena, Los Angeles Ca 9/24/92 xfer from 8mm master tape

Alright, I had to pivot a bit and post something other than what I had planned today. If you are a youtube subscriber and you received a Zeros video notification, please ignore. Need to get the band’s OK to post I think.
Instead, here is the last video I have from Barry Goldstein’s collection. 3 hours of Broooce. Holding a video camera relatively still for 3 hours while avoiding arena security is quite the feat.
If anyone has the exact date, please let me know. It was labeled “bruce forum night 1” only. Assuming early 90s since that was when Barry was active and taping.

The Entertainer- Green Bay Wi Cable shows VHS xfer Rev Norb Boris the Sprinkler Blow Pops Exploited

I pulled this one out to find a specific thing to post, and I realized that the entire 2 hours was pure gold, so I posted it all.
This comes from (I think) Grux from Caroliner Rainbow’s collection of VHS tapes. This is a totally INSANE early 1990s community cable show and I highly recommend you watch some of it. Most of it is just insane ramblings from Rev Norb (from Boris rthe Sprinkler), who seems to run the show along with 1 or 2 other guys.
The part I was trying to find is at 1 hour 39 min- rev norb interviews Wattie from the Exploited and the entire segment (including subtitles) are a perfect encapsulation of how I feel about the band. Thanks guys- this is awesome! Around that same time stamp are The Blow Pops live footage n(1 hour 35) and The Happy Schnapps Combo (1 hour 40 something)… but seriously, the4 entire thing is worth watching. Hilarious bored Wisconsin kids.

Buck Naked and the Bare Bottom Boys- Enema Party b/w Baby Talk 7″ Single Scam Records

I never post vinyl rips on the archive, but this one deserved it. This 7″ came from that same Estate Sale of Laurie Vilarich’s amazing collection of photos/autographed items from musicians, as mentioned before.
This was in a box of Buck Naked memorabilia. I was in kind of a hurry and I saw that the box had a bunch of photos and a stage worn bandanna, so I grabbed it in a hurry. It wasn’t until I got home and went through it all that I discovered that this 7″ was in there.
There was a note that stated “was to be used as promo w/ upcoming album”.. so this must have been sent to Laurie after Buck was murdered.
Oh, and of course, a critical part of my vinyl rip setup (Sony pro cd recorder) takes a dump while trying to do this. So I used a less optimal method. Hope it still sounds good enough.

Slayer- Gold Record Presentation, Magic Castle Hotel, 1/17/95 xfer from Hi8 Master Reign in Blood?

Here’s another cool video from Steve Rogers of an industry event. I think this is for Reign in Blood, since it took that album about 6 years to go gold, and Tom’s references in his speech.
The first 3min of this are shots of the hotel and attendees, and then the ceremony starts.

When People Were Shorter And Lived Near The Water- Rob Tyner Tribute Concert Early 90s Master VHS

Man, am I kicking myself over this one. There were more vague Russ Gibb videotapes over on Ebay- this time, there were 3 tapes up for auction with the title “Tyner Tape 1” tape 2, etc. I got Tape 1 and the next few days of posts will be from this tape. It is a nice quality multicamera of a show in an unknown venue in Detroit. What kills me is that the MC says that Teenage Fanclub is at the show- I wonder if they are on tape 2 or tape 3? If these are the openers, what big acts also played? Damnit.

Babes in Toyland- KDOC Request Video, Anaheim Ca 1992? xfer from master vhs tape

It’s after midnight in this time zone, so I am cheating a bit and posting Saturday’s Video now. This is another one from Todd Nakamine’s collection of VHS tapes. It looks like he might have only caught half of the show because I see other, lesser quality versions of this on yt but they are 11 minutes long vs. The 5 minutes we have here.
Nice quality.
