This is another one of Todd Pritchard’s requests. The tape did not have a venue, but since this was from a Friday night, it is likely Gilman. from Jason Ross’ collection that he gifted me a few years back.

It’s time for the Patreon voter’s choice! Woohoo! Last week’s vote was unanimous, which surprised me because there were a lot of really good videos to choose from! I was considering posting the 2nd place one as well since it was kind of a can’t miss type of poll, but nope. Oh well.
I thought that this was filmed by the somewhat legendary guy in the San Diego area who put a video camera in an oversized cowboy hat, but it seems a bit too distant for that type of thing. Still a great document of the band’s best era.
I realized that I have 2 copies of this video- one was labeled Hard Rock Cafe, San Diego 6/13/93 and the other was labeled as La Jolla 6/20/93. Same concert. Looks like it was a combo of the 2.

This one is from Jason Ross’ collection and I don’t really know much about the band. They were from St. Petersburg, FL but I recall them playing Gilman so they must have toured. This is a decent audience recording.

Yes! Green Day is finally off tour, so we can get back to more GD posts from Arica. This one has been sitting in the queue, waiting for 2 months to post. It’s pretty nice quality and very rare- it looks like a couple of clips were shown on VH1’s behind the music and that was it. Audio is good and nice camerawork as well.
This is the legendary “last show” before they signed their major label contract. Some context from greendaylive website:
Ben Saari: “Word got out. The last show before they signed the contract was in Petaluma at the Phoenix Theater. There were tons of people. Everybody knew the next day they were signing the deal with the devil and everything would suck. They would be sellouts, nobody could be friends with them, they would be on tour forever, they would blow up. Things would get really good for them. And people were aware that this was also gonna bring in a whole new level of attention to what we had been doing.”
The Daily Cougar: “One person [Brian Zero] even went so far as to hold a protest against the band’s signing at a June 17 concert at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, Calif., calling for the club’s patrons to walk out when the band played. ‘Yeah, some guy came out and expressed his views about major labels, some of which were pretty valid,’ says Billie Joe. ‘I have to give him some credit. He wasn’t a belligerent drunk – he expressed himself intelligently. I mean, if I saw the guy, I’d still want to spit in his face. No one walked out.'”
Huge thanks to Arica for sharing these.

Migraine has subsided. I am not a big prescription drug guy, but Imitrex is like magic.
I had something different planned for today’s collections post, but I apparently digitized 2 of Craig Hilmer’s cassettes and then deleted them from the PC before burning them to disc. Whoops! The kids have been home from school for 2+ weeks and my time is so limited in the studio that I tend to make mistakes like that.
This one was sitting in draft mode on my YT channel so let’s go with this.
When I lived in L.A., I went to this festival. I don’t know why- it wasn’t like I was a mega fan of any one artist on the bill. I liked some, but not sure why I was there. It was held by Rhino Records and Ben & Jerry’s and had a who’s who of folk acts. I brought my DAT and I have already posted a few sets to the archive.
I met this guy in the audience with a small/low tripod and a shirt & hat that said “video crew”. I went up and introduced myself, since his gear looked nothing like the official professional stuff that was being used closer to the stage. Sure enough, he just a guy who wore a shirt and hat with Video Crew and walked right in with his stuff- he wasn’t part of the camera crew at the event. Man, that takes balls of steel to pull that off.
I have a bunch of sets from this, but here is part of Arlo Guthrie’s main stage set. I also caught the songwriter’s workshop on the 2nd stage which was great.

Here is the thing that took all day yesterday to digitize and process.

Anyway, this is only pt. 2 of the McGuinn performance, but I think this is all of the Petty footage. My pt1 VHS tape snapped and I need to repair it… Lots of great stuff on there, including the Kingsmen (spinal tap’s folk parody band). I did the entire pt2 VHS tape with a bunch of great stuff. I think it has Joni Mitchell’s performance (first in 20 years at the time)

One nice thing about living in L.A. was the sheer volume of promotional appearances by artists. There were constant in-store performances and special showcases unavailable anywhere else. These usually took place in L.A./Hollywood during my working hours, so I missed out on just about all of them… but this was one in Anaheim (close to home) in the early evening.
Richie was in town as a promo for the Troubadours of folk fest at UCLA. I went to the fest and taped, but a lot of it wasn’t great. I do have 1st gen video to transfer one day. He played the instore solo acoustic with no P.A. I was obnoxiously up front in full view with a namamichi CM300 shotgun mic pointing at him. It sounds pretty good, but since there was no P.A., the crowd applause in between songs was so loud that it blew up the recording. I just went ahead and edited the between-song applause out for everyone’s comfort. Trust me, you don’t wanna hear it.

I had a good part of the day yesterday to get through some music projects and I thought I was going to get SO MUCH done… then I started working things across my desk. I got the 45(!) download codes for LPs I bought all done, and 1 audio project that I had already thought was done. That’s it- I got through 8 inches of desk space, and there are about 50 more projects to go. Thanks for your patience.
All of you east bay punk and lookout records fans will be happy since the one project that I finished was all of Todd Pritchard’s requests that had been sitting here since December of 2019. Here’s the first- a nice Jawbreaker soundboard that I rebalanced in Izotope. It blows me away that this church was used as a punk venue for such big bands. We had a place in orangevale that did mostly local shows, but nothing along the size of Fugazi and Jawbreaker.
They get the mixed dialed a couple of minutes in.

Here’s another one that was requested to be digitized for a trade so I figured I would put it up here too. I am a fan of the band, and I somehow amassed 73 audio recordings of them, mostly from back when I was trading. This one appears to be uncirculated.
