Rollins Band- KDOC Request Video, Anaheim Ca 7/23/92 xfer from master VHS tape Enhanced Henry

It’s Friday! Yaaay. Here is another nice quality KDOC Request video performance, courtesy of Todd Nakamine and his collection of VHS tapes. I had a copy of this, but mine suffered from screen jitter. This one looks so much better. Sounds great, too- the sound on that Vandals KDOC performance was so so, this one is totally dialed in. Thanks Todd and Gia!
Lots of respect to Rollins for walking away from performing music when there was nothing left in the tank, then reinventing himself in other areas. Maybe I can do something like that someday.

Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians- Great American Music Hall, San Francisco 7/15/92 DAT Master Xfer

I wish I remembered more about this show- it was the 2nd show of a 2 night run, and they only repeated 1 song between the 2 shows. This one must have been added on after the first one sold out, because it clearly sounds better which means a better seat from which to tape. I like this set better- any set with an acapella version of Kung Fu Fighting automatically wins!

Alex Chilton- Great American Music Hall, San Francisco 7/15/92 xfer f/ DAT Aud Master Live Big Star

Alex Chilton opened the 2nd night of Robyn Hitchcock at the GAMH. I had never heard his music before (I was a latecomer to Big Star etc like most people). In fact, my memory is hazy on this but I think AC opened the first night as well, and I did not tape but liked it a lot. It was only later that I learned of his legendary stature with Big Star and Box Tops.
Sounds pretty good, better than the hitchcock recordings from that run.

Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians- Great American Music Hall, SF 7/14/92 xfer f/ DAT Master Nak Mic

I don’t know if anyone has noticed, but I am back to uploading my DATs in order. Here is D25, Robyn Hitchcock at GAMH. I thought this one sounded awful when I first taped it, but it isn’t that bad. I was bummed because I had expected to be on the floor to tape the show, but that was reserved assigned seating only (I think I am remembering this right). I taped from the balcony which isn’t nearly as good of a location. It sounds fine.

Pavement- Rough Trade Record Shop, England 7/11/92 xfer from 2nd gen audio cassette-DAT

I chose this for today’s On This Date in History not because of it’s great quality (it’s not), but because it seems to be pretty rare and I think this might be the only in-store performance with Gary Young.
Stockton representing for the 2nd day in a row!
The recording distorts a bit at volume so I tried to EQ as much of it out as possible across the 56 and 113 hz bands. The high hat/splash cymbal was super grating to I toned that down a bit as well.
Recording was only marked as “Rough Trade England”- no specifics of city.

Cracker- Cattle Club, Sacramento Ca. 7/10/92 Part 1 from 8mm Master!

This was a great coincidence- Gary Shurtleff and I had a friend in the bay area named Karl(RIP) who wanted me to tape a show, so he loaned me his NICE Sony TR-81 camera. I spent the entire weekend videotaping my sister’s softball games and then headed to Cattle to see if Cracker would let me video. As usual, CVB and Cracker’s manager Jackson Haring was totally cool with taping so I got this early cracker show. Notice the beautiful sequined dress that bass player Davey Faragher is wearing. Stock mic so there is some distortion.Once I used that camera, I had to drop the $800 to buy one for myself. 🙂

Nuisance- McGregor’s, Elmhurst Il 7/5/92 transfer from 1st gen VHS tape Sonoma County Punk Lookout

You are probably going to see 3 youtube/Sac Music Archive and 4 facebook/Bluesky posts a day from me for a while. On This Date, Audio and Video collections posts, and 1 bonus post. I am super backed up on Patreon stuff.

This one was a Patreon Voter’s Choice from 3 weeks ago. It tied with that MDC Chicago video so I did them both. Probably the nicest quality Nuisance video for picture and sound quality.

Tribe 8- Women’s Building San Francisco Ca 7/2/92 transfer from master Soundboard Cassette Queercore

It’s a late post today, I have a sick child so everything stops while I nurse him back. This one is from Radley Hirsch’s collection and ends up sounding real good toward the end. The first half doesn’t have much snare unfortunately.

Spitboy- Womens Building, San Francisco Ca 7/2/92 transfer from master soundboard cassette

This was supposed to be yesterday’s audio post but the internet conked out last night so you get it (and hopefully a bunch more) today.
This continues the march through Radley Hirsch’s collection. The mix is solid here, no need for any Izotope manipulation.
