The hits just keep coming from Marty & Kirk. It looks like there was a grand total of zero Sock videos on youtube, so this is probably pretty rare.

Fem 2 Fem- Tower Records, Hollywood 5/25/94 xfer from master video tape live
Here is one that I debated posting, and had actually deleted it from YT a couple years ago… but I noticed that there is a small but loyal following of the group online and there is nothing too offensive here (there is nudity), so up it goes.

Meat Puppets- World Beat Center, San Diego Ca 5/21/94 xfer from hi8 Master Tape Live Dez Cadena
So this one has a bit of a story. My good friend Kirk Nelson (now known as captain fireball on DIME and such) came down to hang out in L.A. for a few days and catch some Meat Puppets shows. The first night was them opening for Stone Temple Pilots at Fairfax High, which was really cool to see. I’ll post video of that sometime soon.
The next night was this show. World Beat Center was this odd, all-ages venue that looked like some kind of art school/collective. I saw 2 shows there- this one and FEAR- and it had this unusual vibe for a punk venue. Not bad, just different. Maybe the puppets felt it too (or were feeling something else), because this is the most insane MP show I have ever witnessed.
First, they play a pretty long main set. Then, they came back for an encore which was a 10 minute noise jam with Dez Cadena and others. They even sound like they play a few bars of “Damaged” there for a bit. Everyone is switching instruments and it is pure insanity. Unfortunately, the show sounds like garbage. Kirk would usually audiotape with his DAT and I would video. He was plugged in, but something went wrong and there was no audio signal through the soundboard. This camera audio is the only audio that survived.

Rollins Band, Henry Rollins, Biohazard- MTV 120 Minutes 5/15/94 xfer from VHS Master Tape
Here is an oldie from Gary Shurtleff’s collection. The rollins band performance is on YT, but not the complete thing with interview AND Biohazard interviews and footage from the studio. 33 minutes of 120 minutes goodness!
Video is blocked in Syria, Iran, Cuba, North Korea so if you live there, you’re outta luck. Sorry.

Lawsuit- Whole Earth Festival, Davis Ca. 5/7/94 Audio xfer from 2nd generation soundboard tape
This one is also for Sac Music Archive contributor Keely Sadira Dorran- she has been laid up for a bit. I hope these help you recuperate!
It appears that Lawsuit headlined over Cake at WEF back in 1994. This is a transfer from the 2nd gen from master cassette tape- still sounds pretty decent. The mix is not perfect, but you’re going to get that when you have a ton of instruments on stage

Uncle Tupelo- Mississippi Nights, St. Louis Mo 5/1/94 xfer from master tape + matrix Audio!
This one has a story behind it. I burned all of my vacation in April, following Pavement around california and Arizona. I then get the call from Tony M- Jay decided to leave Uncle Tupelo, and they were playing 4 final shows. I booked my flight for the final 2 shows over the weekend. In fact, I went to the last show, then took a redeye home (no sleep) and went to work the next day. Crazy. Anyway, it was all worth it. The video turned out great as did my DAT soundboard. Audio matrixed (SBD + Michael Pemberton’s audience tape) by KN, and put all together by Jesse Hamm.
